Germantown goes roundabout at Fond du Lac Avenue and Donges Bay Road
Fond du Lac, Donges Bay targeted
Germantown - While several elements remain under review, a roundabout will likely be placed near the intersection of Fond du Lac Avenue and Donges Bay Road when construction takes place in 2015.
Fond du Lac Avenue, also known as State Highway 145, is under the purview of the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, which is funding most of the construction work along the roadway experiencing an increase in traffic.
DOT has recommended the roundabout at the intersection in an effort to mitigate crashes. But the proposal drew concern from several members of the Germantown Village Board when it was discussed Monday.
The state agency has hired an engineering firm, Bloom Companies, to handle the preliminary planning details. Jeremy Hinds, a project manager with Bloom, came before the board with an update on plans and said he will be moving forward with the roundabout design.
The DOT and its federal counterpart, the Federal Highway Administration, have been calling on road improvements to incorporate elements with future projections in mind, meaning the roundabout would be in place to handle additional traffic along Fond du Lac Avenue.
Trustees Art Zabel and Melvin Ewert were among the most vocal opponents of the plans to place a roundabout at the site.
"In this particular intersection, I think it would be best not to have a roundabout," Ewert said.
Zabel said he believes the intersection needs to be redone. But he questioned the full scope of the work.
"I agree roundabouts are safer, but I wish you'd look at a design that is minimal so it's reasonable for the area," Zabel said.
One-way driveways
One sticking point with the roundabout is the impact it could have on nearby residents. Based on a preliminary design, it could force people to leave their driveway in only one direction.
For example, if a person wanted to head east, he or she might have to first travel westbound, meander through the roundabout and then resume the easterly direction.
"We've heard (residents') concerns, and we'll see what we can do about access," Hinds said.
Village President Dean Wolter acknowledged that the roundabout appears to be an imminent part of the reconstruction plans. But he recommended discussion continue on other design elements.
"Right or wrong, this is the standard we need to adhere to today," Wolter said. "When you get in bed with the state for a project of this magnitude, you give more than you get, I believe. But let's look at this carefully and look out for the best interest of Germantown and its residents."
Teach how to use roundabouts
With the roundabout appearing imminent, Trustee Al Vanderheiden said he would like to see greater overtures toward educating people on how to travel through one.
"I think the state has done a poor job of teaching the citizens how to drive in roundabouts," Vanderheiden said. "I see people stopping when they should be going. The need for education is great."
Hinds said further efforts to solicit feedback from residents are ongoing.
"We want to better our design," Hinds said. "We want to hear from you."

Columbus-based engine maker Cummins wrapped up a solid Wall Street performance on Friday, parlaying its midweek announcement of a $1 billion stock buyback program into a 4.5 percent gain in stock price for the week.
Cummins' stock closed at $106.29 per share on Friday — up 81 cents on the day and $4.60 for the week — with some analysts suggesting the shares could realistically trade in the $120 to $130 range by the end of next year.

In February 2004, David J. Evans, a marine biologist and photographer,
was engaged as part of a team working on the Pentagon's
Legacy Program, which documents the cultural and
environmental aspects of Defense Department operations. His assignment
was to survey and photograph the rich array of wildlife and
vegetation at Guantánamo Naval Base. After publication of "The
Guantánamo 'Suicides,'" Evans contacted me. "I've seen the facility
described in your article as 'Camp No,'" he said, "and I can confirm
that the description of its position and appearance is accurate."
One day near the end of his stay, Evans set out from Camp Delta in the company of a co-worker and two civilians from the Naval Facilities
Engineering Command, moving uphill in their Humvee onto a ridge. "Moving up onto the ridge was hairy," Evans told me, "there were
thorny trees and bushes brushing up against the vehicle. The trail going up was formed by use, it wasn't a proper road." When they reached the crest, Evans saw the facility, not much more than a mile north of Camp Delta.
The team's objective was to map the points of convergence between various vegetation zones, and so they had a GPS device with them. But they decided not to use it. "We were told not to photograph it, and discouraged even from looking at it," he said. "But we couldn't resist looking."
"Working all around the Guantánamo base, I came across a number of old structures, some defunct and abandoned," Evans said. "But this was something that had obviously been built pretty recently. Moreover, it looked a lot like the other prison camps I had seen." Evans caught more glimpses of the facility as the team continued its work. "There didn't seem to be any windows in the facility," he said.
Evans says he doesn't know how the facility was used, but it was carefully positioned so that it couldn't be detected by casual visitors to
the base or to the detention camps.
Evans says he left the island a few days later, puzzled by the
facility in the hills. It obviously was connected to the prison camp
in some way, he thought. Why had a detention facility been constructed
in this rugged corner just out of sight and just out of hearing from
the base? "There was a lot of tension associated with that place," he
noted. "Our escorts didn't want to talk about it and behaved as if it
didn't exist, even though it was right there."
During his visits to Guantánamo, Evans says that some of the guards did tell him
about the harsh treatment to which some of the prisoners were
subjected. They talked about it with a degree of glee, Evans observed.
"It was a bit disturbing." But Evans sharply discounts another aspect of Guantánamo's reputation.
"They call it a dry, dusty, desolate place," he said. "That's nonsense.
Guantánamo Bay is a place of great natural beauty, a treasure, it
could easily be a national park."

Standard Input Server (RCon chat etc)
Ever wondered why one can communicate with a server via RCON, but the clients playing on the server can't communicate back? Now they can! ....well, in a manner of speaking. Basically, anything
Show All
Show All
that's logged in the console is transmitted to the server in real-time for rendering by either admins or end users, supposedly without needing SSH or RCON access. Essentially, you can read the server logs as it's actually happening. How? Telnet, of course! If you're one of the precious few on this site who knows the first thing about Telnet, you can essentially use a Telnet client to connect to a JA server via this plugin and communicate with the players. Well, to my understanding, anyway. I had a little... trouble, trying to talk to myself. This won't be of much use to Windows users hosting glorified LAN games (which technically would be a "WAN game", but that leaves the door open for snide remarks so I'll stick with "glorified LAN"), since it's compiled to work with dedicated servers hosted on Unix-based operating systems. However, if you do happen to own/rent/operate a dedicated server running on a Unix OS, and want the ability to check server logs in real-time or allow others to communicate with players on the server via Telnet, this is a useful server add-on. Well, more like a server-within-a-server. Sort of. Just make sure to read the documentation. ~Kouen

But if it's in English, what language should I help him with?

What language for homework discussion?

I guess we are kind of similar, since we are also doing Home Language - Community Language, like you. We speak mostly English (with some Japanese mixed in) at home, and my younger son goes to school in Japanese. He's in 7th grade now.
When I help him with his homework, if I read the sheet or talk about what he is supposed to write or whatever, I say those parts in Japanese, but generally speaking, most of my talk about the HW is in English. If there are words I'm not sure he knows, I'll say, "Do you know that word?" and tell him the English word (if he appears to know it in only one language). Or if he doesn't know it in either language then I'll just explain it in English. Example: "Seifu. Do you know that? It means government. Do you know government? It means who runs the country and makes the laws, and so on. In Japanese it's seifu." or (reading Japanese math problem out loud) and then in English, "Hmmm, it seems to want you to find the area of these circles. Area is menseki in Japanese - you know menseki, right? It's called area in English. You have to find the menseki, area, of these circles. Do you know how to?" or whatever. That's just how I do it, not by plan really, but it comes out that way. I only help him when he seems to need help, anyway, and sometimes I can't help him, if my Japanese is not good enough for that particular problem!
We do pretty much the same thing. My ODS is in third grade in Russian school, and we speak English at home. If, for example, he has a question about a math problem, I pretty much explain it in English. He tends to know the math terms better in Russian, so he'll often mix in these types of discussions, using technical terms like "multiplier", "divisor", and some others that I cannot easily come up with an English version for (what is the term for the number that you are subtracting from, and the number that you are actually subtracting?) It just sort of works. With other technical terms (like in science), I use the English and he pretty much switches them to English with me immediately when he hears them.
When it comes to foreign languages, I do try to help him in English when it is useful: he studies Hebrew in a class with Russian-speaking kids; Hebrew has articles ("the"), while Russian does not. It was a big help when I explained to him what the Hebrew "the" meant, as they've just sort of glanced over it. (Usage is not exactly the same, but still, helpful to understand that it is like "the" in English.)
Oliver (5-03), Karina (3-06), Ari (2-09)
With regards to homework, my English is pretty much, "Do your homework." and "Did you finish your homework?"
I don't really help him at all. I check the answers of his math against an answer sheet and I fill out his reading chart because he is supposed to read aloud daily. He is in the fourth grade and I hate to say it, but a lot of it is beyond me. Even his math is often beyond me, because either I don't remember how to do it, or they do it a different way than I learned, or it is a story problem with Japanese, etc.
If I were you, I would do what comes naturally. If I say in Engish "Fifteen divided by two equals seven remainder one", it doesn't mess ds up or anything. He takes it in stride.
We discuss it in English. Our situation is a little more complicated because my kids are in a bilingual program so we have three languages going on. So neither school language is native to me. Plus they take Sunday Hebrew classes and my son is preparing for his Bar Mitzvah, so you could say we have four languages.
My youngest is hesitant to do her German homework with me, although I do know some German. I can only check that she's done whatever and listen if she has to memorize a poem or whatever.
Funny scene last night. I was doing this. She mispronounced something and my ODD started hitting her head on the pillow. Apparently she had already corrected this pronunciation and I missed it, because I can't say it right myself. So I have one reading a poem in German and the other going bam! bam! bam! with her head on the pillow...
The ODD is first in her class and a real perfectionist so she tends to "ride" her little sister a lot. But they do help each other, especially since they've mostly had the same teachers.

It made me laugh to see Mauncg mention "checking sentences" etc... One thing I *don't* do with DS2's Japanese homework is check sentences. More like he should be checking my sentences!! He has recently started correcting my use of prepositions, etc. If I start reading something out loud in Japanese, he takes it from me and reads it for me. I can read, but I guess I'm too slow for him.
Just this evening, he said he had homework for Japanese class that was to change a passage from spoken language to written language (changing a verbal interview to language more suitable for a written report). I said, "Can you do it?" "Yeah!" "Oh good, because I don't think I'd be able to help you much with that." I didn't hear any more about it, while he was doing it. If he asks for help with a word or phrase, we help him as best we can (my husband is also a native English speaker, not a native Japanese speaker), but we don't check over his work at all.

Feeding Tubes in Patients with Severe Dementia - Article
ABSTRACT: Patients with advanced dementia are among the most challenging patients to care for because they are often bedridden and dependent in all activities of daily living. Difficulty with eating is especially prominent and distresses family members and health care professionals. Health care professionals commonly rely on feeding tubes to supply nutrition to these severely demented patients. However, various studies have not shown use of feeding tubes to be effective in preventing malnutrition. Furthermore, they have not been demonstrated to prevent the occurrence or increase the healing of pressure sores, prevent aspiration pneumonia, provide comfort, improve functional status, or extend life. High complication rates, increased use of restraints, and other adverse effects further increase the burden of feeding tubes in severely demented patients. Feeding tubes should be avoided in many situations in which they are currently used. The preferable alternative to tube feeding is hand feeding. Though it may not be effective in preventing malnutrition and dehydration, hand feeding allows the maintenance of patient comfort and intimate patient care.
Guidelines for Managing Alzheimer's Disease: Part I. Assessment - Article
ABSTRACT: Family physicians play a key role in assessing and managing patients with Alzheimer's disease and in linking the families of these patients to supportive services within the community. As part of comprehensive management, the family physician may be responsible for coordinating assessments of patient function, cognition, comorbid medical conditions, disorders of mood and emotion, and caregiver status. Suggestions for easily administered and scored assessment tools are provided, and practical tips are given for supporting primary caregivers, thereby increasing efficiency and quality of care for patients with Alzheimer's disease.
Vertebral Compression Fractures in the Elderly - Article
ABSTRACT: Compression fracture of the vertebral body is common, especially in older adults. Vertebral compression fractures usually are caused by osteoporosis, and range from mild to severe. More severe fractures can cause significant pain, leading to inability to perform activities of daily living, and life-threatening decline in the elderly patient who already has decreased reserves. While the diagnosis can be suspected from history and physical examination, plain roentgenography, as well as occasional computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, are often helpful in accurate diagnosis and prognosis. Traditional conservative treatment includes bed rest, pain control, and physical therapy. Interventional procedures such as vertebroplasty can be considered in those patients who do not respond to initial treatment. Family physicians can help patients prevent compression fractures by diagnosing and treating predisposing factors, identifying high-risk patients, and educating patients and the public about measures to prevent falls.
Prevention of Falls in Older Patients - Article
ABSTRACT: Falls are one of the most common geriatric syndromes threatening the independence of older persons. Between 30 and 40 percent of community-dwelling adults older than 65 years fall each year, and the rates are higher for nursing home residents. Falls are associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and nursing home placement. Most falls have multiple causes. Risk factors for falls include muscle weakness, a history of falls, use of four or more prescription medications, use of an assistive device, arthritis, depression, age older than 80 years, and impairments in gait, balance, cognition, vision, and activities of daily living. Physicians caring for older patients should ask about any falls that have occurred in the past year. Assessment should include evaluating the circumstances of the fall and a complete history and physical examination, looking for potential risk factors. The most effective fall prevention strategies are multifactorial interventions targeting identified risk factors, exercises for muscle strengthening combined with balance training, and withdrawal of psychotropic medication. Home hazard assessment and modification by a health professional also is helpful.
Cerebral Palsy: An Overview - Article
ABSTRACT: The presentation of cerebral palsy can be global mental and physical dysfunction or isolated disturbances in gait, cognition, growth, or sensation. It is the most common childhood physical disability and affects 2 to 2.5 children per 1,000 born in the United States. The differential diagnosis of cerebral palsy includes metabolic and genetic disorders. The goals of treatment are to improve functionality and capabilities toward independence. Multispecialty treatment teams should be developed around the needs of each patient to provide continuously updated global treatment care plans. Complications of cerebral palsy include spasticity and contractures; feeding difficulties; drooling; communication difficulties; osteopenia; osteoporosis; fractures; pain; and functional gastrointestinal abnormalities contributing to bowel obstruction, vomiting, and constipation. Valid and reliable assessment tools to establish baseline functions and monitor developmental gains have contributed to an increasing body of evidenced-based recommendations for cerebral palsy. Many of the historical treatments for this ailment are being challenged, and several new treatment modalities are available. Adult morbidity and mortality from ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, cancer, and trauma are higher in patients with cerebral palsy than in the general population.
Predicting Delirium in Hospitalized Older Patients - Point-of-Care Guides
Health Screening in Older Women - Article
ABSTRACT: Health screening is an important aspect of health promotion and disease prevention in women over 65 years of age. Screening efforts should address conditions that cause significant morbidity and mortality in this age group. In addition to screening for cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease and cancer, primary care physicians should identify risk factors unique to an aging population. These factors include hearing and vision loss, dysmobility or functional impairment, osteoporosis, cognitive and affective disorders, urinary incontinence and domestic violence. Although screening for many conditions cannot be proved to merit an "A" recommendation (indicating conclusive proof of benefit), special attention to these factors can decrease morbidity and improve quality of life in aging women.
The Home Visit - Article
ABSTRACT: With the advent of effective home health programs, an increasing proportion of medical care is being delivered in patients' homes. Since the time before World War II, direct physician involvement in home health care has been minimal. However, patient preferences and key changes in the health care system are now creating an increased need for physician-conducted home visits. To conduct home visits effectively, physicians must acquire fundamental and well-defined attitudes, knowledge and skills in addition to an inexpensive set of portable equipment. "INHOMESSS" (standing for: immobility, nutrition, housing, others, medication, examination, safety, spirituality, services) is an easily remembered mnemonic that provides a framework for the evaluation of a patient's functional status and home environment. Expanded use of the telephone and telemedicine technology may allow busy physicians to conduct time-efficient "virtual" house calls that complement and sometimes replace in-person visits.

52nd and 6th on Mondays. Classic with bacon and tomato soup. You know what to do from there.
Came while they were closing but I still got my sandwich... can't go wrong with grilled cheese
I am not quite sure what made them so special. I was at US Open and ate their classic and everyone was trying to figure out where $10 price tag goes
Get the sandwhich with the Gouda and bacon! It's very Gouda!
I had a Lambwich with duck fat for $10 and it was amazing. Simply da bomb. And the people working in the truck are nice.

The "classic" grilled cheese and soup combo is delicious.
Best grilled cheese sandwiches! A must have on Wednesdays when they're in DUMBO.

they should probably rename the "classic" to "perfect"
be advised: spicy tomato bisque isn't nearly tomatoey enough for my taste, and maybe not yours.
Aaahmazing. The Gouda (with bacon and basil butter) on garlic bread is orgasmic... Get a cup of the tasty spicy tomato bisque and you'll be in heaven.. Worth every freaking calorie and more!!
Enjoy every sandwich I get here.I realize you're probably making a statement of some sort by not offering bags,but when someone has to walk away with a sandwich,soup,sauce,and drink tower?Come on guys
Best grilled cheese AND customer service. Seriously, these guys made my day. They'll melt the cheese AND your heart.
Cucumber basil lemon iced tea sweet and refreshing

OMG you have to try the Gouda Grilled Cheese with Apple Butter!!
The absolute best grilled cheese on the planet. Each made by-hand with delicate precision and meticulous care.
Belled grilled cheese in the city! Yeah, I said it. Also - spicy tomato soup is amazing.
YUM. Get some soup with it and its the best winter meal on four wheels.
The classic is grilled cheese perfection. Buttery, melty cheese of the right consistency and a great cheese:bread ratio.
When they say "house pickles" on the provolone sandwich, what they mean is "pickled cabbage." So... don't order it unless you're sure you can cope with that.
Can it be!?
Classic FTW!
NYDD Mobile Eats: the Morris truck broke onto the NYDD food scene in the summer of 2011 brining sandwiches both hot and cold. Their grilled cheese offerings are among the best!
Tends to show up Wednesdays, on Front Street, somewhere between Pearl and York Streets.
Get the classic or the provolone with pickled cabbage.
Try the fresh mozzarella on ciabatta with kale, radishes, olive oil and lemon juice - pretty perfect sandwich!
Get the Gouda!
The menu is written on the side of the truck with a dry erase marker. Bring an eraser with you and insist that they serve you an "ill cheese sandwich."

Ball Aerospace And Aerojet Rocketdyne Achieve Expanded Operational Range For Green Propellant Infusion Mission
BOULDER, Colo., March 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. and Aerojet Rocketdyne exceeded the technical range objective for the main thruster that will fly aboard the Green Propellant Infusion Mission (GPIM). This mission will demonstrate in a space environment, a "green" propellant known as AF-M315E, to replace the highly toxic hydrazine and complex bi-propellant systems in-use today."This is an exciting program that will enhance both future spacecraft performance and U.S. competitiveness," said Jim Oschmann, Ball Aerospace Civil Space and Technologies vice president and general manager. "The new propellant technology, once demonstrated on GPIM, will raise both the 22 Newton and 1 Newton class AF-M315E thruster readiness for flight, enabling safer and less costly space missions with significant enhanced in-space propulsion performance."The GPIM team demonstrated in a lab environment that the 22 Newton-class thruster running AF-M135E propellant had an enhanced operation range over traditional hydrazine used in spacecraft. The test continuously demonstrated that the thruster had enough force to go as high as 27 Newtons and scale down to 4 Newtons. The 22 Newton thruster will fire simultaneously along with four smaller 1N thrusters aboard the GPIM satellite to initiate orbit inclination changes and altitude changes. "The expanded operational range exemplifies the performance benefits provided by the AF-M315E, which enable a broad range of applications from low-Earth orbit to deep space and facilitate infusion across the marketplace," added Roger Myers, executive director of Electric Propulsion and Integrated Systems at Aerojet Rocketdyne. Ball is leading an industry and government team to develop and fly the GPIM mission. The new AF-M315E propellant, which is a Hydroxyl Ammonium Nitrate fuel/oxidizer blend, was developed by U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory at Edwards Air Force Base. Aerojet Rocketdyne has developed the thruster and catalyst technologies which enable practical applications for space missions. The GPIM project is a Technology Demonstration Mission managed by the Space Technology Mission Directorate at NASA.

Yeah, I wouldn't worry too much about once a day. I'm trying to keep mine to once a week now that I've found the heartbeat. I recorded it this last time so I can just listen to that when I want to. Once you find it, you can pretty much probe that same area and find it every time before they swim away. I think that's her comfort spot!
**Review my new book "Beneath the Surface" By: C.C. Reed on amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com or on your e-reader!
I would tell your hubby to calm down. I use mine every night, as well as many others. Its not going to cause your baby to come out with birth defects or something. And you bought the doppler, so might as well get good use out of it. Thank goodness you have an appointment tomorow, that will help ease your mind.
I got mine the day I turned 9 weeks, and have found it every night since. I have had 2 losses and it has helped me tremendously. It is tricky to find, and there may be other reasons why you are unable to find it. Your placenta may be anterior. Can you hear your placenta with the doppler?? The heartbeat should be in the same area, but you have to search alittle, and it m.2ay. 0tke .5.-.10 min just to find it!
Ask your doctor tomorrow when you go about how often is safe for using the doppler, but mine said that using it every day will not hurt anything! Good Luck!

Its sound waves....I just had my NT scan yesterday and talked to my u/s tech about it. She said the sound waves are not audible to the human ear so they do not harm baby......and to use it as often as I needed to. I think that FDA warning is so you don't obsess.
As far as finding the hb.....I have to have a full bladder and drink some juice prior to trying. So here is the routine I follow (every morning btw)
1. Get up. go down and drink about 6-8oz of juice.
2. Walk around for about 15 minutes.
3. Go upstairs, lay down and get out the doppler. It is easier to find when your u/s tech has shown you the best place by doing an abdominal u/s but with a little practice you can find it. But it did take me like a week before I found it on a regular basis.
4. IGNORE THE DISPLAY RIGHT NOW! Just listen. I stared by getting my hb in my chest. put a little gel between your breasts and listen you your hb. It will be steady and strong and loud. thuuuuuuuuuuump, thuuuuuuuuuuump, thuuuuuuuuuuuump
5. Start low in your abdomen.....about 2 fingers width above the pelvic bone and point the doppler downward toward the pelvic bone. If you pick up a sound that is like wind through trees that is the placenta.
Baby's hb will be really fast....like galloping horses or a train. You will also pick up your hb in your abdomen which will be a little faster than in your chest but not nearly as fast as the baby.......when you find the baby you will definitely know. It will be softer than yours too.....sometimes hard to hear.....
GL to you. Take your doppler to your appt and ask your tech to help you.

I recently released a Windows phone 8 app. The app sometimes seem to crash randomly but the problem is it crash without breaking and the only info I get is a message on output that tells me there were an Access violation without giving any details. So after releasing, from the crash reports I was able to obtain some more information, but they're kinda cryptical to me.
The info are:
Problem function: unknown //not very useful
Exception type: c0000005 //this is the code for Access violation exception
Stack trace:
Frame Image Function Offset
0 qcdx9um8960 0x00035426
1 qcdx9um8960 0x000227e2
I'm not used to work with memory pointer et similia and I'm not used to see a stack trace like that.
So I have those question:
- How should I interpret/read those information, what's the meaning of every piece of information?
- Is there a way to leverage those information to target my search for the problem?
Is there a way to get those information while debugging in VS2012
- I'm not asking what an Access Violation is
- I tagged this as c# and c++ because my code is in c# but the exception is generated (I'm semi-guessing) by c++ implementation for the WebBrowser component
I tried setting the Debug type to Native only, this let me obtain the same info I had in the crash report on the dev center. This way the debugger break when the exception is thrown and let me see the disassebled code, unfortunately there's no qcdx9um8960 .pdb file (even on Microsoft Symbol Server), so I don't know the function name that caused the error.

Soldiers across Europe meet at annual fest
October 13, 2009
By Carola Meusel (USAG Stuttgart Public Affairs Office)
STUTTGART, Germany -- Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines from the Stuttgart military community celebrated the 35th Soldaten Wasen - the 'Soldier's Fest' - along with their German and French counterparts Sept. 28 at the Stuttgarter Volksfest in Bad Cannstat.
The Soldier's Fest, also known as the NATO Beer Maneuver, has been a tradition since 1974. International Soldiers are invited to the fest each year to not only eat and drink, but make friends with service members from other countries and exchange pieces of their uniforms.
This year, 3,000 Soldiers from Baden-WAfA1/4rttemberg, Rheinland-Pfalz, Bavaria and the German/French Brigade in MAfA1/4llheim attended. The Stuttgart military community was represented with 175 service members, including Soldiers from Heidelberg, Mannheim, and Ansbach.
The event took place in a new location this year - the FAfA1/4rstenberg beer tent.
"I'm honored to continue the tradition of camaraderie between the armed forces," said Peter Brandl, fest tent owner.
Col. Richard M. Pastore, commander of the U.S. Army Garrison Stuttgart, personally thanked Brandl for helping to host the historic event.
"The Soldier's Wasen is a celebration of camaraderie, friendship, and partnership. We are proud to be here," Pastore said.
The Soldiers soon started enjoying themselves over chicken and beer.
"The interaction with the German Soldiers is very important, and we're having a great time," said Sgt. James Kaus from 1/10th Special Forces Group.
The camaraderie between the German, French, and American Soldiers was reflected in their numerous exchanges of name tags, patches, flags, and even entire uniforms during the event.
"It's always good and very interesting to meet other Soldiers," said Private 1st Class Constantin Krause, currently stationed with the Transport Battalion for the German Armed Forces in Aschaffenburg.
The Joe Schwarz Orchestra band from Stuttgart created a festive environment with classic German folk music, country and rock tunes.
"Coming together to celebrate the Soldier's Wasen creates a special bond between the Soldiers and our allied forces," said Col. Franz Arnold, commander of state command Baden-WAfA1/4rttemberg. "It is very important to stand together and support each other."

I suggest waiting for
FLUME-968 to be addressed first.
If no-one else is interested I can look into fixing reconfiguration. A bit busy for the next couple of days, but could start on it around Friday.
That being said, before that, it would be a good idea to take all the non-file specific configuration out of PropertiesFileConfigurationProvider
@Juhani - you are right, that is how the system is implemented at this stage. However, this seems to be more of technical debt rather than design choice.
Shutting down of components on configuration change is needed in order to make sure that there are no resource leaks in the system and that these components can be dynamically reconfigured during runtime.
correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think reconfiguration shuts down anything that is removed from the conf?
Reconfiguration is currently instantiated by AbstractFileConfiguration's FileWatcherRunnable which just calls doLoad() on the configuration provider if the conf has changed.
doLoad in turn validates the current configuration when it is loaded by FlumeConfiguration, and from there goes on to load channels/sources/sinks(the currently running ones are retrieved by the factory methods). The configure call results in reconfiguring the currently running components.
At no point are old channels/sources/sinks stopped.
The current method is pretty neat but we're going to have to add a mechanism somewhere to shutdown disabled components. Perhaps this should be added to onNodeConfigurationChanged?

When we left the hosptial at 36w2d lo was on 38ml of fortified breastmilk every 3 hours. They never gave us any instruction on how to increase her feedings. At her appointment at 38w her dr. just said she was doing great and gaining perfectly so just keep doing what I'm doing. What I've been doing is following lo's ques. If she finishes her bottle and keeps sucking I add a few ml's to the next bottle. She is now 39w5d and I just moved her up to 2oz. every 3 hours. I feel like that's really low but considering she was only at 40ml a week ago I don't want to add too much too fast. She is 6lbs0oz as of today. Should she be eating more at this point? Should I just offer 3oz and let her drink as much as she wants? (hate to waste breastmilk)
How did you increase feedings? How much was your preemie drinking when they were at 6lbs?

- '12 Years a Slave' wins best picture at Oscars; Nyong'o, 'Gravity' also win big
FIRST-TIMERS: It's never too late for an Academy Award nomination. Just ask June Squibb, who is a first-time Oscar nominee for her supporting role in "Nebraska" at 84 years old. Other first-time acting nominees joining her this year are Chiwetel Ejiofor, Matthew McConaughey, Barkhad Abdi, Michael Fassbender, Jared Leto, Sally Hawkins and Lupita Nyong'o.
RUSSELL HUSTLE: After receiving back-to-back nods for directing and writing, "American Hustle" and "Silver Linings Playbook" director David O. Russell joins the company of six other filmmakers who have achieved the same feat: Billy Wilder, David Lean, Joseph L. Mankiewicz, John Huston, Richard Brooks and, most recently, Woody Allen for "Annie Hall" (1977) and "Interiors" (1978).
RECORD BREAKERS: Meryl Streep extends her lead as the most nominated performer with her 18th nomination for "August: Osage County."

TWICE AS NICE: "American Hustle" and "Her" producer Megan Ellison is the first woman and the fourth person to receive two best picture nods in the same year. She joins Francis Ford Coppola and Fred Roos, who were both nominated for "The Godfather: Part II" and "The Conversation" in 1974, and Scott Rudin, up for "The Social Network" and "True Grit" in 2010.
RINSE AND REPEAT: Seven of this year's nominees are previous acting winners: Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Sandra Bullock, Judi Dench, Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts and Jennifer Lawrence, who is the youngest three-time acting nominee at 23 years old. Lawrence and her "American Hustle" co-stars Bradley Cooper and Amy Adams were also nominated last year.

For the most part, we've all been lucky not to be on the roadway when DUI king Robert Castle (16 arrests) or runner-up Karl Solid (9 arrests) were coming the other way. They've smashed up cars and caused some injury, albeit they have so far killed no one. That is the case with most of those currently charged in King County under the state's new felony DUI law, with the exception of Yung-Cheng Tsai, who was convicted of vehicular homicide seven years ago in Pierce County and most recently was stopped for DUI while doing 95 mph on I-5.
Elissa Villegas was not so fortunate when an alleged drunk came her way. She was driving her silver Honda Accord westbound on 4-lane State Route 18 at 4:30 in the morning Jan. 6 when, authorities say, a drunken Ernest A. San Nicolas came straight at her, eastbound, in her lane. Villegas swerved into the second westbound lane to avoid San Nicolas' own Honda Accord, but skidded sideways: San Nicolas' wrong-way vehicle T-boned her car. Villegas, 25, of Federal Way, died at the scene.
Villegas' car (KOMO-TV)
According to a state trooper's report, San Nicholas, 50, of Federal Way, was still sitting in his car, motor running, when a deputy sheriff arrived shortly at the crash scene: "San Nicolas had a strong odor of intoxicating liquor on his person. When he attempted to retrieve his wallet, he dropped it. When he bent down to pick it up, he fell to his hands and knees." He said he'd had "two doubles."
San Nicholas is now charged with vehicular homicide, a felony. If convicted, he could, under the new DUI law, be charged with felony DUI in the future should he drive drunk again. Any bets he won't?

Today I had my first appt. I am 6 weeks along, so its earlier than they usually do all the blood work, but they decided to do it anyway! They said the normal levels for being 6 weeks is about 1500 - 1600. And I just got a call from the clinic and my hormone levels are at 2500!! She said its nothing to be worried about, and it doesnt mean I'm further along that they think I am, or that there is more than one baby! But it still kind of caught me off guard!
Is there a wierd hidden meaning to my levels being high? or am I just more hormonal than most?

Washington was one of the first states to adopt vending machine guidelines, but the trailblazing program is already showing its age. To catch up with states and municipalities which have drafted similar plans since Fit Pick debuted in 2007, the state is now developing a new set of guidelines to keep fattening foods out of its agencies' vending machines.
Although an exact timetable for the initiative hasn't yet been determined, Colleen Arceneaux, Community Transformation Healthy Eating Coordinator at the Washington State Department of Health, says, "it's going to be modeled after Seattle-King County guidelines."
Employers and school districts in Clark County in 2006 teamed with the National Automated Merchants Association to develop Fit Pick, a sticker system indicating which snacks meet a set of nutritional criteria. The program has since been expanded statewide, and implemented in jurisdictions including Mississippi; Shelby County, Tenn. and Shasta Counry, Calif.
"It definitely works," says Scott Pritchard, who advocates for Fit Pick as program director for Washington Wellness, an initiative to improve the health of current and retired state employees and their families. "For myself, I try to bring my own stuff (for lunch), but when I go to the vending machine, they have my favorite oatmeal granola bar. Before, that wouldn't have been in there."
According to Pritchard, at least 35 percent of the snacks stocked in a Fit Pick machine must comply with sticker standards. To earn a Fit Pick sticker, an item must meet the 35-10-35 test, meaning no more than 35 percent of its calories come from fat, no more than 10 percent of its calories come from saturated fat and no more than 35 percent of the product's weight is sugar.
Although a Fit Pick handbook for vendors warns that the stickers are considered labeling claims by the Food and Drug Administration, snacks don't always end up in the right spots. At South Seattle Community College, approval stickers are currently affixed to the slots holding Chili Cheese Fritos and Duplex Sandwich Cream Cookies. Both snacks are rated "D-plus" by Calorie Count, an online nutritional information database. The Fritos derive more than half their calories from fat, and the cookies are too sugary to merit a sticker.
Pritchard attributing the mislabeling to harried delivery drivers who don't have a vested interest in keeping their customers slim.
"I know how things like that happen," he says. "The drivers make money by how much is sold, so the drivers' major interest is putting things in to sell."
It's now up to a site manager to monitor the accuracy of sticker-snack matches, but that chore could become obsolete under new state guidelines. King County urges departments to do away entirely with items classified as "high in sodium, sugar, fat and refined grains," such as cookies and chips.
The King County guidelines, adopted in 2011, are much more stringent than those incorporated into the industry-endorsed Fit Pick program: To qualify as "healthiest" or "healthier," a snack must exclude trans fat; added sweeteners, such as high fructose corn syrup, and more than 360 milligrams of salt. A document outlining the program envisions a vending machine stocked with unsalted nuts, dehydrated apples, whole-grain pretzels, low-sodium beef jerky and low-fat popcorn.
Arceneaux anticipates the voluntary guidelines will be rolled out later this year.

The Boston Red Sox have come a long way since Marty Barrett used to lead them in stolen bases with 15 for an entire season. Jacoby Ellsbury swiped a team-record five on Thursday night alone against the Philadelphia Phillies, becoming just the 21st player since 1916 to steal at least that many in a game (H/N: Aaron Gleeman of Hardball Talk).
The major league record for steals in a game is six, done three times, and most recently by Carl Crawford in 2009.
All five of Ellsbury's steals came against catcher Erik Kratz, though Phillies manager Charlie Manuel blamed his pitchers for allowing Ellsbury such big leads. The best Kratz could do was hit Ellsbury (accidentally) with his first two throws. As you heard Red Sox broadcaster Don Orsillo note, Ellsbury tied Nate McLouth of the Orioles for the AL lead in steals with his first theft of the game, and then just kept on going until he reached 21 for the season. No tacos this time, though, unless you paid for them yourself.
Ellsbury went 3 for 4 with a walk and a hit by pitch, though he only scored one run in Boston's 9-2 victory. Hey, Ellsbury did what he could to get in position. The Phillies acknowledged his achievement by presenting him with a base. Hey, they weren't using it anyway — they dropped to 8-23 when scoring three runs or fewer.

TOPIC 3: Batman, Catwoman in Entertainment Weekly

Hathaway tells Entertainment Weekly that she prepared for the role by reading the comics and studying the moves of Hedy Lamarr and Jean Harlow, two screen legends that inspired the original conception of the comic book villainess.
The MPAA recently revealed the film will be rated PG-13.
Saga 2
It's the second issue of Brian K Vaughan and Fiona Staples' space epic.
After deserting their galactic armies, former soldiers Marko and Alana must now protect their newborn girl from the lethal killers dispatched to destroy their family. Some great artwork from Staples and nice dialogue from Vaughan.

Catwoman and Two-Face are at the center of the first issue of "Arkham Unhinged," which explores the timeline between the "Arkham Asylum" and "Arkham City" games.

It's not a must-buy, but fans of the game may enjoy delving more deeply into this world.
Secret 1
Jonathan Hickman and Ryan Bodenheim create a corporate espionage thriller that would make an intriguing novel or movie. It works pretty well as a comic book, too.
A man gets shot in London, a law firm gets broken into in Washington, an accountant gives away the password to his computer, and something put to sleep 20 years ago awakens. What is the relationship all these things share, and how could it bring down two of the largest governments in the world?
This book gets into the shadow world existing between the government and private security firms.

Hello Bike Forums, I'm in San Diego, CA and trying to get back in the saddle. I'm sure you have heard this over and over. I used to ride (road) back many years ago before the internet, LOL. I was a member of the San Fernando Cycling Club for many enjoyable years. When I moved to San Diego I kept up riding for a few years and slowing drifted out of it about 6 or so years ago. Now I find myself longing to get back in the saddle. My motivation is health reasons but it shouldn't be too hard as I really enjoy a great ride.
The reason I say I'm trying is that I have kept good care of my bike but it seems that maybe time has caught up with it. I cleaned it up hoping that it was just dirty and needed new tires. Everything looks great except the both front and rear won't shift. The front won't shift up to the larger sprocket and the rear won't shift down to the smaller. For some reason all the years spent riding I never spent the time to figure out how to adjust or work on shifters. I have an okay bike, it's a Cannondale R900 aluminum (no paint) with Shimano 600 components.
I joined bike forums because if it's anything like the car forums that I belong to, I should find the answer to my problems in here somewhere. I will search around, but if anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great. If all else fails, I will take my bike into a shop and let them take care of it. I just wanted to try and save some money. Bike tune ups always seem to me to be a little waste of money if you just know the fundamentals. Anyway, that is my introduction. So far this site looks like a great resource of information.

It was murderPublished 8:55pm Thursday, February 2, 2012
Though the case is still under investigation, Dallas County Sheriff Harris Huffman announced an arrest has been made in connection with Wednesday's Sunshine Village shooting death.
Huffman said Dallas County resident Jody Baldwin, 21, whose address was listed as 71 County Road 470, was taken into custody Wednesday night. Baldwin, he said, has been charged with murder and is being held in the Dallas County Jail. No bond had been set as of Thursday afternoon.
Though an arrest has been made, Huffman said the motivation behind the murder is still unknown.
"We've talked to (Baldwin) and another witness and both of them say the guy came down there to rob him," he said. "But the only guns we were able to recover were those of the suspect. We're doing an investigation of the vehicle, but as far as the victim and his two passengers, we haven't found any guns that were in possession."
The victim, Demetris Johnson, was discovered Wednesday afternoon in a cotton field off Dallas County Road 469 after residents of the area heard shots being fired. Johnson was lying on his back in the field fatally injured from shots to the upper chest and head.
Johnson's red Crown Victoria was taken from the scene as part of the investigation.
A murder weapon has not been recovered from the scene, Huffman said, but they feel like they know the make of the gun.
"We believe it's going to be a shotgun," he said. "We're still going to be picking up a few people and talking to them. We're going to go back and talk to some of the residents nearby."
Huffman said he believes there were three people in the car, including Johnson, and two people in the house.

BOULDER — The scoreboard revealed a 69-56 UCLA victory Thursday night, but Colorado coach Tad Boyle said he saw enough good things from his side to believe that the Buffaloes aren't about to quit with star Spencer Dinwiddie done because of a season-ending knee injury.
The 21st-ranked Buffs (14-4, 3-2 Pac-12) also are without 6-foot-7 freshman swingman Tre'Shaun Fletcher, a valuable reserve who is out six to eight weeks after also injuring a knee Sunday in a loss at Washington.
Colorado hung with the No. 25 Bruins (14-3, 3-1) for much of the game. The Buffs trailed by just 49-44 with 7:58 remaining. A crowd of 10,802 at the Coors Events Center tried to help. But Colorado couldn't make big shots down the stretch.
"Don't count us out. Don't count us out," Boyle said afterward. "We had an emotional week. But if we learned anything tonight, it's that we're going to be OK.
"We didn't lose the game because we didn't have Spencer and Tre'Shaun. We lost it because we didn't play well enough to beat UCLA. We have capable players. This was a winnable game. We have to believe in each other and rely on each other. But we can't be a two-man team."
CU junior guard Askia Booker scored 21 points, and 6-10 sophomore center Josh Scott did his part with 19 points. But the Buffs need others to rise up and do their part. Dinwiddie had contributed almost 15 points per game and was the team leader on the court.
The next leading scorer for the Buffs: backup guard Xavier Talton with five points. Three CU starters, guard Jaron Hopkins and forwards Xavier Johnson and Wesley Gordon, each produced just two points.
"We can't feel sorry for ourselves that we don't have Spencer out there leading our team," Booker said. "We just need guys to step up. I think they will."
UCLA got 19 points from junior guard Norman Powell and 14 from Jordan Adams, a sophomore guard. The Bruins never trailed after taking an 11-9 lead, although CU did pull even at 20-20.
Adams, a strong 6-5 guard, scored nine points in the second half and was the difference for the Bruins, Boyle said.
Colorado committed 17 turnovers. It's going to take some time dealing with the absence of Dinwiddie, who controlled the traffic.
"You're not going to win a game against a team like that with 17 turnovers," Boyle said.
Colorado hosts Southern California at noon Saturday.
"We're going to be fine," Boyle said.
