Prairie Village Park closed for construction
Prairie Village Park is closed due to maintenance and relocation of playground equipment.
The playground equipment, which is on the north end of the park, has to be moved due to the sale of two village lots, one which closed at the beginning of the month.
The other residential lot is expected to close later this month. The village public works, buildings and grounds committee has faced a few difficulties in moving the equipment due to the drainage issues in the park, but is working to relocate the playground near the pavilion, or to an area with better drainage.
The committee removed the equipment and the space immediately filled up with water, according to Village Clerk Rhoda Bagley. The committee is now looking at where to put the equipment where it wouldn't get waterlogged or rot.
"They want to put drain tiles in," Bagley said. "It's not expensive; it's just figuring out the best place to put it."» Read Full Article

Sediment closes boat ramp on Pewaukee Lake
Sediment buildup at the Pewaukee Lake access launch near Naga-Waukee Park has caused Waukesha County to close the north boat ramp until further notice. The south boat ramp remains open, but may also close if sediment moves into that area.
Sediment builds up in the area as part of a natural process that evolves over a number of years. Over the past two weeks, wind patterns have pushed sediment up into the launch site.
Waukesha County is obtaining permits to dredge areas with high sediment buildup. The county plans to begin dredging as soon as possible after the permits are obtained. The last time the Pewaukee Lake access was dredged was 2010.
If possible, one boat launch ramp at the Pewaukee Lake Access site will remain open during dredging. The work is expected to be finished by mid to late June.

I.d., new restaurant in Delafield Hotel, to open mid-May
City of Delafield — The city's newest restaurant is getting ready to open its doors.
I.d., housed in the space formerly occupied by Andrew's Bar & Restaurant in the Delafield Hotel, 415 Genesee St., plans to open in mid-May, according to Jeff Whiteman, director of operations for Geronimo Hospitality Group.
Whiteman said the space has undergone "a complete metamorphosis."
"I would expect anybody that came in here won't at all recognize that they're in the same building," Whiteman said. "We blew out all the windows and put mostly floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the space so it's very bright and airy as opposed to kind of dark and intimate."
Whiteman said the restaurant is still waiting for the delivery of some key items, including dining room tables, and hopes to be able to announce an opening date soon.» Read Full Article

Petition seeks safer roads in town of Vernon
The intersection at Highway ES and Edgewood Avenue in the town of Vernon has seen a lot of traffic-related accidents and traffic problems, which has caused citizens to start a petition asking the county to take action in making this route safer.
Mukwonago resident Bradford Paulson started an online petition a few weeks ago that will be sent to the county. He is asking that the county lowers the speed limit or installs stoplights or a roundabout, which would also make drivers slow down.
"There have been several accidents that have happened at this intersection," Paulson said, "and I have a passion for making sure things are safe."
The intersection also poses a challenge for school buses and trucks that have a hard time passing through during peak traffic hours, County Supervisor Darlene Johnson said. Johnson has brought the issue to the attention of the county.
"It is something that I would say is definitely a concern for the community. We can't just leave it where it is now," Johnson said.» Read Full Article

Just kids from Waukesha County: Joe Schobert, Derek Watt make history in 2016 NFL Draft
Joe Schobert and Derek Watt made history Saturday.
When both were selected by NFL teams during the draft, it marked the first time two football players who attended high school in Waukesha County were drafted in the same year.
Schobert, a 2012 Waukesha West graduate, was selected as the 99th overall pick at the start of the fourth round by the Cleveland Browns. Watt, a 2011 graduate of Pewaukee High School, was taken in the sixth round by the San Diego Chargers. He was the 198th overall selection.

Investigators have released surveillance pictures of Dylan Redwine, the 13-year-old Colorado Springs boy who disappeared while visiting his dad near Durango for the Thanksgiving holiday.
The pictures were taken at the airport and Walmart in Durango on November 18, the day before he disappeared.
Investigators hope by seeing his clothes, somebody might remember seeing him.
In both photos, Dylan is wearing a blue baseball cap with a white front panel with the words "Duke Blue Devils" in blue on the white panel, a black, short-sleeved T-shirt with the large letters "DC" (possibly in grey) on the front within a thin light-colored square border around the DC logo, a pair of black basketball shorts that went below the knee with light-colored (possibly light blue and white) stripes on the sides; and black "Jordan" shoes with a white tongue and white shoelace area.
Anyone with information that may help in the search for Dylan are asked to leave a voicemail message on the Dylan Redwine Tip Line at 970-382-7511.

For the times, they are a changin' By Louis Richardson, IBM Social Business Evangelist As I prepared for this year's IBM Connect 2013 conference, I was reminded of a great Bob Dylan ballad "The times they are a changin'". My favorite rendition was done James Taylor, Carly Simon, Halls and Nash at a ... [ + Read more ]

Ninety-five years ago, a single vote in the Tennessee legislature guaranteed that the 19th Amendment, securing women the right to vote would, at last, become law.
I worked with the Election Protection Hotline to help many voters rectify the issues they were facing when attempting to exercise their right to vote. But it also illuminated how far we have to go to have fair, free and accessible elections for all eligible citizens.
Now is the time to start thinking about how and when you'll vote. In addition to getting ready to vote as you have in years past, voters in many states may also need to show voter identification in order to cast a ballot.
Protecting voting rights is vital wherever we are in the country, but there are certain iconic places, where discussing voting rights takes on particular significance. Memphis, Tennessee is one of those places.
State and local Leagues throughout the country have been working with government agencies, health care providers and advocates to get the word out to the American people on the Affordable Care Act and its pivotal impact on their lives.
Leagues across the country have been helping to build public support for restoring the effectiveness of the Voting Rights Act by submitting this template letter to the editor to local or state newspapers. Below is the growing list of Leagues that have already published the letter in their communities.

Assisi 2012
Where We Dwell in Common: Pathways for Dialogue in the 21st Century
April 17 – 20, 2012 in Assisi, Italy
In April 2012, the CCTC played a lead role in the organization of an international and ecumenical gathering exploring the theme of dialogue from the perspectives of the past, present and future. The overall aim is to discern new ways, means and methods of advancing the ecumenical cause in the wake of the 'ecumenical winter' and with renewed energy for a new century. It is intended to be not so much a conference, as the beginning of a process or series of ongoing processes. This gathering will seek to identify, share and shape, as well as to put into practice, productive pathways for dialogue in these times. It wishes to encourage ecumenical 'thinking outside the box' and to gather together a richly diverse array of voices from around the globe in order to help make this happen. CCTC Director, Gerard Mannion is chair of the Assisi 2012 Organizing Committee and a delegation of USD Faculty will be present and participating throughout.
"Crescent and Dove: Civil Unrest and Nonviolence in the Middle East Uprisings"
Qamar-ul Huda, Ph.D.
Co-sponsored by the Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace & Justice and the Joan B. Kroc School of Peace Studies.
The popular uprisings in North African and Middle Eastern countries have been attributed to socio-economic grievances, the lack of development, ineffective and corrupt rule of law institutions, very little political participation, and a burgeoning youth population with little employment opportunities. But how has religious civil society actors and organizations contributed to the nonviolent uprisings in Egypt, Yemen, Tunisia, Syria and in neighboring countries? How has culture, tradition, and particular interpretations of Islam impacted the way civil society members demand a peaceful change to their nations? How are Islamic values of justice, freedom, and confrontation of aggression being utilized to call for the removal of authoritarian regimes? This talk highlighted various aspects of nonviolence Islamic thought and practice as effective conflict resolution practices in the Middle East.
John O'Brien, Ph.D., Spiritan Order, Pakistan and CCTC Visiting Fellow, Fall 2011
The CCTC was delighted to welcome Fr. John O'Brien to campus as the first Visiting Fellow at the Frances G. Harpst Center for Catholic Thought and Culture in Fall 2011. As a Spiritan priest and missionary, Father John O'Brien has worked in Pakistan, a country that's become a focal point in the conflict between the West and militant factions of Islam. In Pakistan, which has a Christian minority, O'Brien has worked in housing cooperatives, education, and with some of the poorest in that society, those known as urban "sweepers." In his talk, he discussed how "dialogue with this world of Islam takes place in little bits and pieces of everyday and how joint struggles for justice, prayer, sharing the workplace and the interactions of daily life can be a more 'real' ambience for interfaith encounters than many 'structured' meetings." He wanted to illustrate how "Pakistani Islam is not monolithic but has many different strands" and explored how "the Islam of the Mosque may not always be the Islam of people's hearts which is more often Sufism (the mystical dimension of Islam) and how exploring this world can deepen one's own experience of God."
"Virtues for Global Flourishing"
Neil Ormerod, PhD
Utilizing a Lonerganian-Robert Doran inspired theology of history, this lecture addressed the churches response to the impact of globalization on vital, social, cultural, personal and religious values. In particular it explored the notion of 'virtue' in a globalizing world, with globalization posing a new moral context. The lecture looked at social virtues, cultural virtues and personal virtues and ask whether religion, itself, can be understood as a virtue, before exploring emergent 'global virtues which pose a challenge to all religions. Finally, it explored how global virtues relate to the mission of the Church today.
Luncheon Panel: Expanding our View of Inclusion
Sponsored by the Center for Educational Excellence
As USD continues to expand its efforts to achieve a more diverse community and proposed changes in the core curriculum open up new questions about USD's Catholic identity, it is useful to ask just what we mean by diversity. Race and ethnicity are the main categories through which Americans have tended to imagine diversity and they are obviously central. How does thinking about religious diversity complicate the picture? How does supporting religious diversity fit with or form a tension with other diversity aims? How do the categories of "religion" and "race" help or harm our ability to think about diversity? How does USD's Catholic identity fit together with the ideal of a religiously diverse campus?
This forum, aimed towards both faculty and students, explored these and related questions. Our panelists were Drs. Louis Komjathy and Karma Lekshe Tsomo from the Department of Theology and Religious Studies, Dr. Gerard Mannion, director of the Center for Catholic Thought and Culture, Dr. Alejandro Meter from the Department of Languages and Literatures, and visiting scholar, Dr. Qamar-ul Huda, senior program officer in the Religion and Peacemaking Program at the U.S. Institute of Peace. Each of these panelists represented a different religious tradition (Buddhist, Christian, Jewish, Daoist, and Muslim.) An open, moderated discussion followed. This program was facilitated by Aaron Gross, PhD, assistant professor of Theology and Religious Studies, and recent CEE Travel Grant Recipient.

April 2007
by Lt. Gen. Lawrence P. Farrell, Jr., USAF (Ret)
It is widely accepted that the war on terrorism which started with the 1983 bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut is going to be a protracted conflict.
Much uncertainty remains as to how we will win this war. Our armed forces around the world are making extraordinary efforts that underscore the nation's great military prowess. But they also point to the enormous difficulties of fighting the amorphous, irregular enemies the United States is now confronting.
Retired Army Brig. Gen. Mark T. Kimmitt appropriately described this adversary as a "full-spectrum network."
In a keynote speech to NDIA's Special Operations and Low-Intensity Conflict Symposium, Kimmitt — who is now deputy assistant secretary of defense for Near Eastern and South Asian affairs — outlined the formidable challenge posed by al-Qaida and its associates. These terrorist groups, regrettably, have managed to create virtual and physical networks to forward their radical ideology around the world.
"The fact that it uses the most advanced methods of communications to get what it needs done is truly remarkable," Kimmitt said. Terrorist networks facilitate recruiting, and also provide operatives with access to information on chemical and biological weapons. The Internet is their medium to wire money, to share tactics, techniques and procedures and to coordinate operations.
The only way to defeat such a network, Kimmitt suggested, is by developing an even more robust network that would allow U.S. intelligence agencies, for example, to track the sources of financing for terrorist cells. We also need networks that connect us with allies around the globe to ensure that terrorists are denied safe havens. Our networks also must facilitate U.S. assistance to allies, so these partners can build their own military and intelligence capabilities to fight terrorism.
To posture for the long war, Kimmitt said, the last thing we want to do is garrison massive forces in the Middle East. That only becomes an irritant and a catalyst for jihadists to further their cause.
The fight against these non-state militants requires nimble, covert operators who understand Islamic cultures and can build alliances. That is where U.S. special operations forces come in. Their role in this long war cannot be underestimated.
To the Defense Department's credit, it has begun to take steps to boost the capabilities and size of the Special Operations Command. Navy Vice Adm. Eric Olson, SOCOM's deputy commander, said the expected growth includes the addition of 17,000 personnel, additional units and expanded intelligence gathering tools, such as a new squadron of unmanned aerial vehicles.
But the enormity of SOCOM's task as a lead organization in the war on terrorism will require a greater commitment of resources, especially in the areas of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance. "The demand for ISR has never been higher," Olson said at the SO/LIC symposium. His message to industry is to continue to develop innovative technologies, but to ensure they can be delivered on time and on budget. He asked industry to send products to SOCOM to be tested, so engineers have a chance to determine their utility before the command issues procurement contracts.
One major equipment concern at SOCOM is the age of its aircraft, said Maj. Gen. Don Wurster, vice commander of the Air Force Special Operations Command. In one recent deployment, the unit's four aircraft collectively had been in service for 158 years. That situation must be remedied soon. AFSOC expects to begin procuring up to 50 CV-22 Ospreys, but they will take a long time to arrive, delaying the operational capability these systems were intended to promote. The AC-130 gunships are in desperate need of replacement. Despite much talk about the development of a new gunship or similar capability, nothing so far has materialized.
SOCOM, additionally, will need a steady funding commitment to retain seasoned operators. Incentive bonuses are key, noted Lt. Gen. Robert Wagner, head of the Army Special Operations Command. Senior enlisted personnel with several tours under their belts are instrumental in SOCOM's efforts to work with foreign partners as part of its "indirect" approach to fighting terrorism.
Special operations forces traditionally have focused on "direct action," such as the capture and killing of enemies. The indirect approach is now at the heart of SOCOM's plan for winning the war on terrorism, Wagner said. To that end, the command continues to invest in its Joint Special Operations University, where 9,000 students annually participate in 40 courses that focus on relevant topics such as cultures and foreign languages.
In this long, non-traditional war the nation is fighting, we must recognize that it will take unconventional methods and tactics to deal with this enemy, and to defeat its robust network. Special operations forces are uniquely positioned to lead this fight. High-level Pentagon support for SOCOM is laudable, but it also must be underwritten by adequate resources, and timely delivery of programs and new capabilities over the long haul.

Vol State Number 25 in Nation on Student Ranking SiteCollege students enjoy sharing information about instructors and their campus. Internet ranking sites have made that easier. RateMyProfessors.com has announced that Volunteer State Community College placed number 25 in the nation, in terms of student satisfaction, for community and junior colleges. The measurement combines faculty ratings with campus ratings. More than 8,000 colleges and universities are listed on the site.
MTV runs the popular website that has more than 15 million ratings. It asks students to rate professors in terms of how helpful they are and how clear they are. Those categories are used to determine an overall quality score. The overall campus score is judged in several categories, including reputation, internet access, food, library, clubs, social life and overall happiness. Vol State scored four out of five for the campus and 3.82 out of five for the average faculty score.
"Social media can provide useful feedback for college instructors," said Vol State President, Dr. Jerry Faulkner. "These sites are fun. But ultimately our measure of accomplishment as an institution comes in student success. When they do well in class, graduate and go on to successful careers, and four-year degrees, that is our benchmark."
The complete rankings can be found at www.ratemyprofessors.com

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The Kansas City Chiefs have established a formal trust for Zoey Belcher, the infant daughter orphaned by her father, linebacker Jovan Belcher, six days ago.
Belcher killed Zoey Belcher's mother, Kasandra Perkins, before committing suicide.
The family of Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt, Kansas City players and coaches have already donated to the trust fund, the team announced in a statement Friday morning.
"Zoey will always be a part of the Chiefs family, and we hope that this trust will help to ensure she has the resources necessary as she grows up," Hunt said in a statement.
The public may also contribute to the fund, which has been established through UMB Bank in Kansas City.
Zoey Belcher, who is in the care of Belcher's mother, is also eligible for more than $1 million from the NFL's surviving child benefit, including a payment of $9,000 per month for the next four years.

New York Confidential
Life is so large here that it sprouts within confines sometimes so small that even their names have had to be cut down to size, like SO(uth of)HO(uston street), tri(angle)be(low)ca(nal street), etc. You need an explorer to find your way around this kind of jungle. So we found seven adventurers, all members of the New York Nespresso Club, especially for you.
ALBERT & NICOLE NAGGAR, Members since 2009
She is a psychiatrist, and he works in high finance. She is from Long Island, and he comes from Great Britain. "I've been living in New York for twenty-five years," he says. "If you ask me what I prefer about it to London, I would say the fact that this city never sleeps. The climate is milder, and the food here is better." "No other city in the world has as much energy!" she says. "Apart from Bangkok," he interjects. This couple are united less by similarity than by the fact that they complement one another, but they share a love for cappuccinos made using their LATTISSIMA+ machine from a double FORTISSIO LUNGO simply topped with "dry" foam... Another thing they have in common is a love for their city – they often head off to discover new places here. "I don't like leaving New York much," he says. "Out there is the United States."
THE NAGGARS OFTEN EXPL»ORE NEW NEIGHBOURHOODS IN THE SAME WAY THAT YOU MIGHT CHOOSE A HOLIDAY DESTINATION, by stopping a small spinning globe with your index finger at random. They recently took the ROOSEVELT ISLAND TRAMWAY (cable car) which, like the Staten Island ferry, people take more for its spectacular view than as a means of transport. On the other bank is Brooklyn, which has become a must-see for tourists coming through New York. MAST BROTHERS CHOCOLATE selects the best cacao and forms it into tablets with second-hand equipment, EGG serves deliciously simple food in a wooden shell, and THE MEAT HOOK is home to cap-wearing butchers who work Angus beef fattened-up on the estates of Maine's wealthy landowners. Back in Manhattan, BAROLO will keep you feeling like you're somewhere else with its garden of trees that glow like torches, where you can enjoy one of the city's best wine cellars. Finally, with its old master paintings presented in a typical old New York interior, THE FRICK COLLECTION invites you on a journey too, but this time, it's a journey back in time.
JENNIFER DIAMOND, Member since 2004
Jennifer is an actress and fitness instructor, and drinks the Espresso INDRIYA from india as if it were a health drink – long in the morning, and short in the afternoon. She has been drinking coffee since she was 8. "At first I would have a drop of it in my hot milk. Then the proportions gradually changed." It's this unusal precociousness which led her to leave secondary school in Philadelphia for Manhattan to make a go of it as an actress, almost ten years ago. As a child, Jennifer decided that the quickest route to success in life would be via Broadway, and such resolve has taught her to laugh at the obstacles in her way – she didn't bat an eyelid when her wedding of summer 2011 ended up taking place in the middle of Hurricane Irene, which unexpectedly struck New York.
FOOD TRUCKS APPLY THE DIVERSE CHARACTER OF NEW YORK TO THE WORLD OF FOOD. These are vans, most of which are listed on the foodtrucks.zagat.com site, that sell their wares on street corners. They provide such a variety of options (social comfort food, Korean barbecues, Halal taquerias and more) that they will soon have brought an end to the reign of the ubiquitous hot dog. New York is never more New York than at CHELSEA MARKET, just next to High Line Park, a wonderful hanging garden on a disused section of the elevated railway, and which is now the second favourite green space of New Yorkers after Central Park. A bit lower down, the CORNER BISTRO has the reputation of serving the best hamburgers in the city late into the night. On the other side of the Brooklyn Bridge, MOMO makes excellent sushi and vegetable tempura with matcha tea in a "Clockwork Orange" setting, while ROBERTA'S creates the best pizzas in New York. Finally, if you've never been to a BROADWAY theatre, then you haven't really done Manhattan. Of course, there are some great theatres in Chicago, Seattle or London, but this avenue is to musical theatre what Hollywood is to cinema.
HARVEY SIDERMAN, Member since 2009
Before he got his ESSENZA, an impressive Italian coffee machine sat enthroned in the middle of Harvey's kitchen. It was a superb looking professional machine, but it was horribly invasive, and every morning after turning it on, you had to wait half an hour to get a cup of coffee. "We only plugged it in at weekends, and the rest of the time, it was for show." Harvey takes his coffee very strong and chooses his Grands Crus on the basis of their intensity. One day he happened upon KAZAAR, a limited edition that was even stronger than usual (12 on a scale that normally goes from 1 to 10). "Once, I had run out, and I found a last batch at Bloomingdale's. I bought all 150 capsules, because auction prices on eBay were going up. I only have 10 of them left, which I'm keeping for a special occasion."
THIS RETIRED FINANCIER DECIDED TO STAY IN MANHATTAN, BUT HIS LIFE HAS NEVERTHELESS CHANGED COMPLETELY. Having revelled in everything that a city like this provides for busy people, he now seeks simplicity. Which he finds first thing in the morning at SULLIVAN ST BAKERY, whose pastry cream or butter apple jam doughnuts are a unanimous favourite. Before going to the theatre on Broadway, he heads to TELLO, an old Italian bistro where he loves the checked tablecloths and which reminds him of the neighbourhood where he was born in the Bronx. "Little Italy is so full of tourists I wouldn't recommend that anyone book a table there." The ITALIAN BRONX has remained one of those sanctuaries where Italian America feels at home – head to Dominick's for its traditional family recipes. In Soho, Harvey goes to the CAFÉ HABANA for the Cuban music and the good sangria. The quiet BISTRO DE LA GARE in the West Village is run by an excellent chef trained in the kitchens of Mario Batali (see the Chef section). CORNELIA STREET CAFÉ is a genuine institution in the area, and is as well-known for its amazing brunches as for its literature events and jazz club.
MARIA wagner DORMEN, Member since 2009
Maria works as a television director, so she knows what life is like behind the camera. She sees reality tailored to the dimensions of the small screen before anyone sets foot on the set. "I've worked with actors on their way up, and others on their way down. I've done TV series, the news, children's programmes and even a soap opera, As the World Turns, which was broadcast for fifty-three years and was one of American television's longest running dramas". She loves the unlimited talent in New York, the professionals who are better trained and more accomplished than anywhere else, and its culture which encourages dynamism. She drinks a cappuccino made from an ARPEGGIO, prepared to perfection with a LATTISSIMA+ machine, which has become so indispensable to her that she never travels without it.
NEW YORK IS A THEATRICAL CITY WHICH WAS MADE FOR PERFORMANCE AND OFTEN PUTS A LOT OF ENERGY INTO IT. The black brick wall of the Japanese BUDDAKAN next to Chelsea Market hides a fairytale banquet hall reminiscent of the splendour of the enlightenment. A block further up, the Italian American chef, Mario Batali (see the Chef section) has bought himself a magnificent wine cellar at DEL POSTO. It is undoubtedly the most expensive in the city, and provides a setting appropriate for his larger-than-life personality. The AQUAGRILL brasserie has a raised terrace overlooking 6th Avenue which makes you feel like you're sitting on the edge of a diving board enjoying a dozen oysters while watching passers-by swim past in the big pool. MOMA's Sculpture Garden is a small retreat cut into the canyons of the commercial district, perfect after a stressful day. As is a mooch around the treasures of antiques dealer PAULA RUBENSTEIN, a guru for the aesthetics of industrial eras and bygone modernities, ironwork, woodwork, glasswork and steelwork, the golden age of sailing and trinkets of all kinds produced by the American spirit. TU-LU's Bakery makes the whole range of cupcakes, doughnuts and cookies, but with the gluten taken out.
DAVID BAKER, Member since 2008
David is what would be called a "fixer" in war reporting jargon. Except that instead of working for journalists in a war zone, he helps luxury brands find their way on difficult terrain – the huge commercial battle zone of New York. If a brand wants to open a shop here, his job is to find it a place which corresponds to its vibe, positioning and clientele. The neighbourhoods here are both so small and so specialised that they form a kind of communication through space, which David has to translate perfectly. He drinks his coffee iced with soya milk – "my parents produced cow's milk in North Carolina, so I have drunk enough of the stuff until my next reincarnation" – a double VIVALTO LUNGO which he also drinks as an Espresso, with a little brown sugar.
PLACES LIKE NOLITA, THE EAST VILLAGE OR GREENWICH VILLAGE HAVE THEIR OWN MICRO- CLIMATE, INDIGENOUS POPULATION AND NORTH POLE. Getting your shop on exactly the right street is the difference between making it and breaking it. This "fit" between an establishment and its new environment sometimes produces some surprisingly satisfying results. Nolita, a sophisticated if slightly outdated neighbourhood, is home to LE LABO, which manufactures bespoke fragrances. PEELS restaurant fits with the aesthetic of a Bowery on its way back up, with its excellent fried chicken, sausage gravy and house biscuits served in a wonderfully decorated interior. The KINGS COUNTY SALVAGE bric-à-brac shop provides a key attraction in the retro theme park that is Williamsburg, while WICKED WILLY'S is a bar which makes a big contribution to the Village's childishness and that David recommends to those who hark back to their days at secondary school. You can't do what he does without loving bespoke products. 3X1, for example, does more than just customise jeans – they make them to measure, to the extent that you feel like you're sliding into a second skin (see the Design section). SEIZE SUR VINGT does the same with shirts that you could wash for years without it showing.
NATALIYA TODOROVA, Member since 2010
Nataliya creates restaurant and hotel interiors. In her spare time, she produces a cookery magazine called "Maza Cooking Journals" (mazamag.com), devoted to the joys of cooking, also featuring recipes from her native Bulgaria. "I'm very busy, but that doesn't stop me from cooking every evening. I love it, because I let myself skip the fiddly bits and I simplify recipes." A bit like New York, whose industrial identity has been cleaned up, with its loft buildings and docks that have been purged of hazardous materials. Nataliya takes an espresso macchiato in the morning, made with a VOLLUTO she prepares using a black CITIZ & MILK, a colour this decorator chose for its neutrality. She savours it without sugar, so as to enjoy it in all its fullness.
NEW YORK IS THE KIND OF PLACE WHERE YOU MIGHT FIND A DISCO in an old convent, or a nail bar that has taken over the men-only chairs at a barber's shop… The excellent LA ESQUINA taqueria has set up in an old diner and is now serving the burgers and omelettes of a «Latinized» America: chorizo quesadilla, tortilla soup, or hibiscus juice. Further towards Nolita, TACOMBI produces a flow of tacos and tamales in a VW campervan until midnight. The fantastic retro look of the ACE HOTEL has slid into a hundred-year-old decor of royal dimensions, while INDOCHINE restaurant revives the tropical setting so dear to 1930s socialites, and EATALY transforms a former toy manufacturers' into a consulate general for Italian gastronomy. These reincarnations sometimes bring sweetness to the dark world of the streets: MILK BAR produces ice creams from premium milk, chocolate malt truffles and milkshakes in a corner of Brooklyn, while CUPCAKE CAFÉ prepares little angel cakes in its Hell's Kitchen paradise, under the apocalyptic access roads of the Port Authority.
Interview with Frank Schoster, manager of the New York boutique in Soho, and Nikola Mirdita, his bar manager.
Frank Schoster : I'm the manager of the Nespresso Boutique in Soho, the flagship of our five New York establishments. I'm originally from Lima and I've always taken my coffee strong, which is generally the Peruvian way.
Nikola Mirdita: I manage the bar on the ground floor. I grew up in Montenegro and left the Mediterranean climate of my little harbour on the Adriatic when I was 17, to go to university right in the heart of Wyoming. It wasn't long before I moved to New York, where I followed my interest for working in the hospitality business. I was mad about coffee and was a Member of the Nespresso Club long before working here.
F. S. : It's one of the most emblematic districts in Manhattan. Soho is famous for its art galleries and chic shops, cleverly designed to catch the eyes of passersby. We welcome neighbours and employees from downtown, as well as customers from Long Island and New Jersey, but also a lot of young international business people. Here they find that same sense of familiarity and consistent excellence that you'd find in Amsterdam, Sydney or São Paulo.
F. S. : Here in Soho, most of our customers take it short – Ristretto and Arpeggio, our strongest Grands Crus, are a big hit. Similarly, our Ritual Espresso cups are more popular than the Ritual Cappuccino cups.
N.M. : A lot of Americans see themselves as "addicted" to their big mug of morning coffee. In actual fact, I think that it's the copious amounts of added milk and sweeteners that they're addicted to. To get them used to the bitterness and intensity of Espresso, they have to be introduced to the different degrees of roasting, to the aromatic subtleties of our range. Once our customers have ventured into this new territory of flavours, I've never seen a single one look back.
A Nespresso in New York
New York dances to rhythms from all around the world. Not far from the banks of the Hudson river, Corton serves up contemporary French cuisine and has two Michelin stars, whilst Aldea (one Michelin Star), dons the matador's costume in true Iberian style – and New Yorkers have become infatuated. Café Centro is more laid back, a mock-Parisian brasserie in Grand Central, one of the most beautiful stations in the world, whereas Yerba Buena reinvents guacamole, ceviche and other Latin-American specialties. As for The Lion, chef John DeLucie's chic bistro, it sings its patriotic tune with gusto: mashed Yukon potato, chicken pot pie, hamburgers and spicy pumpkin pudding.

A group of unknown people has brutally killed two old people and burnt more than 40 houses on superstitious beliefs.
Miangalu villagers were mourning the death of their fellow villager in Sumbawanga district, Rukwa region. As the villagers convened to mourn the death of fellow villager Festo Chambanenge (45) who passed away after long illness, attackers invaded the place.
Rukwa Regional Police Commander Isuto Mantage confirmed the occurrence of the incident. The regional police boss said the incident caused panic among the mourners, compelling them to run randomly in different directions to save their lives. An unstated number of families were rendered homeless after marauders gutted down their homes.
Commander Mantange mentioned those killed by being assaulted with traditional weapons and burned to death as Erasto Chuo (60) and another, Mzee Lupopo (70) of Miangula village. The incident arose from the death of Chambanenge who after a long illness, having been treated in various hospitals and being assisted by traditional healers.
Eye witness reports say that after mourners gathered at the late Chambanenge's home the group of villagers began attacking Chuo with spears, arrows and machetes before burning his body. Chuo's charred body was stranded leaving dogs to devour it. Reports say that the next day the marauding villagers returned to conduct door-to door search, burning the houses of villagers they suspected to be witches and also attacked Mzee Lupopo, killing him. In their operation the angry mob cut up 20 cattle belonging to one Mwanazyungu after the family abandoned the cattle as they ran away. Worse, the police have not been able to arrest any suspects but RPC Mantage said police were continuing with investigations. He asked Rukwa residents to discard superstition beliefs, as well as the habit of taking the law in their hands.
The brutal killing of the two elders in Sumbawanga came three days after four old women were reportedly killed at Luezela village, Nzera ward in Geita district on suspicions of witchcraft.
The incident was sparked by the death of a five-year child identified as Diana Salu who was devoured by a hyena. The act of the hyena to devour the child made the villagers suspect that it was a witch-driven incident.
The child, Diana screamed for help as the hyena attacked her, but people who ran to rescue her only found her remains, with the beast out of the scene. However, when villagers attempted to hunt the beast to kill it, villagers said, the hyena disappeared mysteriously, creating an impression that it had entered one of the houses of those the irate mob now set out to attack. In another development the Police force in Ruvuma region is holding Zakaria Kapinga, a resident of Ionga village in Mbinga district in connection with setting on fire four thatched houses.
Speaking to The Guardian on Sunday yesterday, Ruvuma Acting Regional Police Commander Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) George Chiposi said the destruction that resulted from the three act of arson was valued at Sh 745,000. The houses were owned by Theobati Komba, Welnet Ndunguru and Sabasi Haule.
The regional police boss explained that the first victim, Komba with his family were caught by surprise at around midnight, awoke from sleep as one of his two houses was on fire.
As Komba and his family got out of the house they could see the suspect running but a few minutes later Ndunguru's house was also set ablaze by the same suspect. Ndunguru rescued his children but most belongings were destroyed.
Police recounted that after Ndunguru's houses were was set ablaze a few minutes later Haule's house was also on fire. The villagers, according to police, carried out a manhunt before arresting Kapinga on the same night.
RPC Chiposi said police were still investigating the matter.

Former U.S. Rep. Bob Etheridge is evaluating whether he'll try to run for his old seat in Congress.
The Harnett County Democrat told The News & Observer of Raleigh on Tuesday he'll sit down with supporters early next year and discuss his options. One would include seeking the 2nd Congressional District seat he narrowly lost to Republican Renee Ellmers in 2010.
Etheridge told the newspaper he's frustrated with what's going on in Washington and blames recent problems on members of the tea party movement elected to Congress.
The 70-year-old Etheridge now lives in the 4th District after redistricting, but state law allows citizens to run for any congressional seat.
Etheridge served in Congress for 14 years. He's now Gov. Beverly Perdue's point man on the state's Hurricane Irene recovery.

This is not a thread to criticize anyone, I just want to lift up Bubu's play in the last 5-6 minutes, or however long he played. I just think he was outstanding, totally under control, not trying to do anything that he couldn't, getting the ball to his teammates, rebounding. I just think the doubters of Palo should choke after that display. He is a really solid player, and we are so fortunate to have him. Sometimes players have a rough day, and Cory didn't have a good day today. Palo was the difference in that game.
"Cómo te va", dijo el murguista a la muchacha. Que lo cortó con su mirada indiferente
Le dijo "Bien" y lo dejó como si nada
Nuevamente... La princesa... Se perdía entre la gente (Jaime Roos)
Completely disagree Bubu came in 2nd half and played under control like he has most the year (with exception of 1st half). People that doubt him in his role still are clueless. Difference in the game?? No chance
Difference in the game??? What game did you watch???

Then you must have been watching a different basketball game, and thought it was Iowa State.
Truth is, we made the run with Bubu on the floor. You don't have to score the points to be the one that causes the team to play better. Sorry, but I won't back down on this one. I realize the players contributions of Ejim, Clyburn, Babb, and the others, it changed the complexion of the game, and Oklahoma couldn't adjust. I had been hoping for Bubu the whole game.
It isn't that I don't like Lucious, there are times he is unstoppable. Today wasn't the day.
Eric and John talking about him now. Stat line unimpressive but he was a big contributor to the win. Stats don't tell the whole story.
"There are five real good recruits in the state. We got three of them. One couldnt get into school, and the other went to (the University of) Iowa...which is about the same thing." - Coach Johnny Orr
Palo made a difference - Clyburn was the difference. Don't forget about Ej as well, that off the glass shot at minute 1:10 to go up 4 was huge imo
Definitely made an impact. Wouldnt call him 'THE difference', but when Lucious was having an off game we really needed Bubu to step up and he did.
The drive and dish to Babb and that rebound on the miss that would have gone of Ejim I think it was, both huge plays. Also, his defense was incredible, OU was stumped after he entered the game. The Babb/Bubu D combo was fantastic.
Postgame report: Apparently Korie told the coaches that the team was flowing well and to leave him out of the game and leave Bubu in. Kid wants to win!
Eh. I think it says a lot that Hoiberg had Will handling the ball when Korie went out. Will was the difference today in the second half. No doubt.
Dude's a solid player. He wasn't Player of Game worthy, but I am glad he is on the team.
I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times-Bruce Lee
4 Point Plan
1. Start Up 2. Cash In 3. Sell Out 4. Bro Down
Good team has multiple play makers. Today wasn't Korie's day. Bubu played well and controlled the tempo. Does that mean Bubu is better than Korie? No, some players works better depending on who they are playing against.
Ridiculous thread. Bubu is simply an OK player. I am glad he gave us good minutes today (in the 2nd half mind you, because he was awful in the 1st half). This board has a weird love affair with a player that isn't really all that good. I root for Bubu, but if plays garbage minutes next year because another PG steps in and dominates all the better.

[CS6] Hi. I'm Jason Levine, Principal Worldwide Evangelist for Adobe's Video and Audio Tools, and today I'm going to talk to you about some of the new features in After Effects CS6. There's been a lot done to really improve the performance and experience inside the application. The first feature that really deals directly with that that is a true 64-bit performance revolution is something called the Global Performance Cache. Global Performance Cache is actually made up of 3 separate elements: a global RAM cache, a persistent disk cache, and a new graphics pipeline. But basically what it does is that it allows you to reuse previously cached frames without having to re-render. So if we take a look at the Composition panel that we have down here, you'll see that we have the familiar green line. If I go ahead and RAM preview this, you can see what this looks like. And again, it's playing in real time. If I wanted to make a change to something like the Levels effect that we have set here, I could come in here and just grab the midtones and make an adjustment, and then of course the green line goes away. So I would begin to re-RAM preview this. Previously, it would have to re-preview and re-cache all of the frames for all of the effects that have been applied, but now with Global Performance Cache it's only re-caching new frames for anything that was changed. So for instance, it's only re-caching the frames on that Levels effect, not everything else, which allows me to work that much more quickly. And you can see already we're back to real-time preview. If I don't like that, I can undo it. And again, previously, we'd have to re-cache and re-preview everything else again. Now when I undo I still have my green bar because it's pulling those same cached frames from RAM. No waiting around, no messing about. It's just there allowing me to truly work as fast as I can think. Even cooler, what happens if I actually exit this project? Let's go ahead and do that. I'm going to close the project here. Let's go ahead and purge all memory and reopen it, because this is now going to showcase the Persistent Disk Cache option that we have. So you'll notice now inside the Composition panel we have a blue line. This is indicating that these frames have been located on disk. So now when I hit the space bar it's pulling those from disk, putting them into RAM, allowing me to again play this back that much more quickly without having to wait for everything to re-render over and over again. It's truly a performance revolution, and it really changes the way you work inside the application. The other element of this of course is the newer graphics pipeline. Essentially what this does, it's just better harnessing the OpenGL on your graphics card for faster interactivity, more responsiveness especially when dealing with things like layers with graphical overlays, things that have bounding boxes or masks or motion tracker points, even interactions like making brush size adjustments. These are all accelerated, and it's really going to just change the way you work inside of After Effects. In the previous version of After Effects, we introduced some new features dealing with 3D. In CS6 we now have a new 3D camera tracker which will automatically analyze motion present in 2D footage and automatically create a 3D camera and overlay 3D tracking points right on top of your 2D footage with a simple right click operation. So if you take a look at the piece that we have here, once again you'll see our Global Performance Cache hard at work here with our blue and green line combination here. What I would like to do is actually parent something like some text or an object or a banner to the top of that car. To do that previously was a fairly long, fairly painful process, especially if you actually wanted to create true-looking 3D motion where it grows over time and maintains that perspective. Now it's very, very easy inside of CS6. I can take this DPX sequence that we have here, I can right click and I can choose to Track Camera. And much like several other processes in After Effects CS6, this is a background process. It's analyzing in the background, which of course means that I could go to other compositions or other applications and keep working and it's going to keep processing, all in an effort to really optimize and speed up the workflow when you're working in After Effects CS6. Once the analysis is done, what we're going to end up with are a series of 3D tracker points on top of the footage, which we can see here. So if I go ahead and play this back-- let's go ahead and select the Camera Tracker effect here-- now you can see all of these points actually on the car. Now we have the ability to choose a series of points that really represent the plane that we want to parent our object or text to. I can come over here, and you'll notice that as I move my cursor around you get this little target. We can adjust the target size, so let's shrink this down to around 23. I can either have it select points for me or I can manually choose a series of points like this one here, this one here, and this one here. And that actually looks to be in pretty much the right perspective. So I can right click on this now where I have the option to Create Text and Camera, Create Solid and Camera, Null and Camera. I'm going to choose Text, go ahead and select my text, modify the text. Let's go ahead and scale this down. And we'll just slightly modify our X rotation like this, scale it down a little bit more like that. And now you can see, as I move through, it's attached to the hood of the car, it's maintaining perspective. And take a look at the final version. Again, this is a process that previously took a lot of time to do and a lot of time to make it look good, to make it look convincing. Now with the new 3D camera tracker it's a simple right click operation, tracks the motion on your 2D footage, creates 3D tracker points, creates the camera, and allows you to create something that looks very realistic very, very quickly. The next thing that I want to cover deals with Illustrator integration, and it's long been a process when working with Illustrator files within After Effects that you had to go back to Illustrator to make even basic changes, things like fill and stroke width. Now you can do this all inside of After Effects without ever leaving the app. You'll see here that I have this basic Hot Wheels logo here. If I right click on my AI file, I'm going to choose to Create Shapes From Vector Layer. So once I do that, now when you look up inside here you'll see that we have the ability to modify the fill. We can modify the fill if we want. Just go ahead and cancel out of that. We can modify the stroke, we can modify the stroke width. Okay, that's all cool, but you'll notice when I grab that, what do we now see? Oh. Anchor points. You can actually grab the vertices now and modify this Illustrator file directly inside of After Effects without even going to Illustrator. This is cool and an incredible time-saver and again just allows you to work in a way that you're very familiar with, but you can now do all of this directly inside of After Effects. The next thing that I'm going to talk about is working with extruded text and shapes, and we're going to use this same basic example here to cover that. Once again we have this Illustrator file here. I'm going to twirl this down, and we're going to turn on 3D here. Let's go into some of our Transform options, and we're just going to modify the X rotation. You can see now if we also scroll down that I've got a camera and some lights applied here. So as I modify the X and Y, you can see that it's being modified by the lights that are applied. Something like this. Now we can go down to our Geometry options and twirl this down, and we can add something like a bevel so we can begin to actually extrude this text. Let's go down to something like Concave. Let's increase our bevel depth something like that, increase the extrusion depth. What's also cool about this, you'll notice that if I come over here to the stroke width it's still editable. So incredible power, incredible flexibility here, but here's the coolest thing. We have something new called the Ray-Traced 3D Render Engine. If you're familiar with using the previous Scanline Render Engine, you had a lot of flexibility there, but if you want to create truly photorealistic soft shadows and great depth of field blur, better light transmission, you're going to use this new 3D Ray-Traced option. I can come down to my previews here. I'm going to turn off the Fast Draft preview. Now we are truly using the Ray-Traced 3D Renderer. I'm going to twirl down material options where I can add things like transparency really to recreate something that looks very cool, very new, very exciting. If I come over to our final version here just to give you an idea, using that same piece of footage let's do once again a quick RAM preview on this. Now you'll actually see that that same Hot Wheels logo has transparency. You can see that the light is bleeding through there beautifully, we have all these reflections, and this is all truly taking advantage of that 3D Ray-Traced Rendering Engine. Very, very cool. All right, moving on. So, rolling shutter. In the previous version of After Effects, we introduced the Warp Stabilizer effect, which is ideal for working with DSLR or any kind of handheld footage to create the effect of it having been shot on a dolly or a track just to stabilize, and we introduced rolling shutter repair. Rolling shutter artifacts are a common problem of working with DSLRs. Now we have a standalone Rolling Shutter effect inside of After Effects that is literally just like its predecessor. Drag and drop and it works very quickly. So if you take a look at the footage here, what you'll see is that on this car that we have here, as the camera was panning across the back of this car-- you can really see it on the Hot Wheels license plate-- it just appears, well, bent. If I kind of drag and scrub over here, you can really see that this right here just looks skewed. It shouldn't look like that. It should look straight. So again, making it very easy for you, I can go to Effects & Presets, Rolling Shutter, drag and drop right on our footage, go into our Effects controls here, readjust our rolling shutter rate-- let's just take this to around 62%. You've got options here for scan direction, different methods. So here is the before, a little skewed. Here is the after, repaired. And what you'll see again very quickly is that we took that footage that previously suffered from rolling shutter artifacts and fixed it with 1 simple drag and drop operation. Really cool and once again showcasing the incredible power of After Effects CS6. When you talk about timesaving applications, this next feature really speaks directly to that. It's basically the addition of variable mask feathering. You've always had the ability to actually modify a feathered soft edge to a mask shape, but the width of the feather was the same around the entire mask. So what we have in this example is we've got a car and we have a shadow. In this first example here, we've got 2 masks, 1 with minimal feathering to define the outline of the car and the other with a generous horizontal feather to capture the shadow in front of the car. With the new variable width mask feathering we can do all of this with 1 simple mask. Let's go ahead and twirl this down here, select this one. Now you can see that we actually have 1 mask. You can see that you've got controls here to adjust the actual width of the feather, and this is all done in 1 simple process. Really easy and just again a great time-saver. Okay now, continuing on with some great additions that we've added, Cycore effects inside of After Effects CS6 are now all 32-bit, which of course means that you can use this with all of your greater than 8-bit footage. Better-looking footage, better-looking effects processing. And lastly, continuing on with some integration with other new features inside of CS6, SpeedGrade LUTs. In the previous version of After Effects, we introduced the ability to look up tables and actually bring LUTs directly into After Effects and apply them to your footage. Now that Adobe SpeedGrade is part of Production Premium, you can of course bring in .look files directly into After Effects as well. So in the footage that we have here, you can see that we've got this kind of flat-looking piece with the car, and I wanted to bring in some specific looks that were created for me to apply to this footage. So I can go over to Effects & Presets. We're going to pull up the same LUT feature that we had, Apply Color LUT, like this, and now we can choose a LUT file. You see we have a couple of different presets here. Let's go ahead and go to our film_log_grade.look, and you'll notice that we can also still bring in 3dl, cube, and csp files. Click Open, it applies the LUT, RAM preview, and there it is. Unbelievably fast, unbelievably quick. If you want to add a different LUT, a different look, let's go to something like a 3strip, click OK, RAM preview, and it's done. Great new features, incredible performance, incredible enhancements to really speed up your workflow. Those are just some of the new things in the incredible After Effects CS6. [Adobe]
