Gov. Ricketts in Chicago for a special event
Timothy Kincaid
June 6th, 2015
One of the odder early moments in the 2016 primary season was a week or two in which the presumed GOP candidates were asked whether they would go to the same-sex marriage of a close friend or family member. And in what seemed to be a weird effort to play both sides, several responded that while they oppose the legal recognition of same-sex marriages, they'd happily attend the wedding of someone they love.
But, as it turned out, they weren't necessarily being cynical. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker had already attended a gay wedding reception and Ohio Gov. John Kasich had RSVP'd and had plans to attend.
So maybe it's a thing.
It does seem a bit hypocritical, but I suppose one can simultaneously hold the position that society is better off restricting marriage to traditional couples while also celebrating your friend's happiness. Politicians have certainly held stranger positions.
In any case, Walker and Kasich are not alone. Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts is staunchly defending the state's ban on marriage equality, insisting that the only a vote of the constituents should bring about equal protection under the law. But while he's holding firm against gay marriage in Nebraska, he's attending one in Illinois. (Omaha.com)
Ricketts will attend the wedding of his sister, Laura Ricketts. She is marrying Brooke Skinner, a brand strategist for Twitter.
Laura Ricketts was one of the leaders in the gay-rights movement in Chicago and was active in pushing for the legalization of gay marriage in Illinois, which took effect last year.
It would be reasonable to object to the idea of a politician opposing equality and then showing up for the ceremony. But I can't help but think that this is positive. It's hard to hold a continued objection once you've been a part of a lovely and touching and beautiful ceremony.
And who knows, maybe this is the tool that is needed not only for them to confront this issue on a personal level, but also to explain an eventual change of heart.
Eighth Circuit stays Nebraska ruling
Timothy Kincaid
March 5th, 2015
Without explanation, the court announces in a two-page order it has stayed pending appeal a decision by U.S. District Judge Joseph Bataillon against Nebraska's prohibition on same-sex marriage, which was set to take effect at the start of next week.
The court has included Nebraska into the joint hearing they are having for rulings lifting bans in Arkansas, South Dakota and Missouri.
Directing the clerk to expedite briefing in the case, the court announces that oral arguments for all three lawsuits will take place in Omaha on May 12.
Which is between the time that the US Supreme Court will hear arguments (April 28) and the time that the high court issues its ruling in June.
And Nebraska falls
Timothy Kincaid
March 2nd, 2015
US District Judge Joseph Bataillon has ruled that Nebraska's ban on same-sex marriage violates the US Constitution.
Nebraska's "Defense of Marriage" Constitutional Amendment, Section 29, is an unabashedly gender-specific infringement of the equal rights of its citizens. The State primarily offers as its rational basis for this gender-specific discrimination the encouragement of biological family units. The essence of this rationale has been rejected by most courts and by no less than the Supreme Court. With the advent of modern science and modern adoption laws, same sex couples can and do responsibly raise children. Unfortunately, this law inhibits their commendable efforts.
For the majority of married couples, those without children in the home, marriage is a legal and emotional commitment to the welfare of their partner. The State clearly has the right to encourage couples to marry and provide support for one another. However, those laws must be enforced equally and without respect to gender.
It's interesting that Judge Bataillon noted that the majority of married couples do not presently have children in the home. I hadn't really thought of that.
The judge has given the state a week to appeal.
IT IS ORDERED that all relevant state officials are ordered to treat same-sex couples the same as different sex couples in the context of processing a marriage license or determining the rights, protections, obligations or benefits of marriage.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this order will be effective on Monday, March 9, 2015, at 8:00 a.m. CDT
It is uncertain whether the Eighth Circuit will stay the ruling pending appeal. However, should they fail to do so, it is highly unlikely that the Supreme Court will issue a stay.
This leaves only North Dakota and Georgia without a federal ruling on the unconstitutionality of anti-gay marriage bans.
Grand Island, Nebraska, protects city employees
Timothy Kincaid
November 14th, 2012
It is no longer news when a city or county adds sexual orientation to the list of items from which employment discrimination is disallowed. But as a reminder of just how mainstream and ordinary it is for a city to commit to this inclusion, this week Grand Island, NE, joined the list.
Grand Island is part of Nebraska's Third Congressional District which was last under Democratic control in 1961. Nearly 60% consider themselves religious, a third of which are Catholic. This ain't no bastion of godless liberal hollywood types.
The council voted 6-4 to add the protections. But the Mayor vetoed the ordinance.
Then two of the no votes (including one who was worried that Grand Island might be seen as "gay friendly") felt the Mayor wasn't respecting the decision of the Board. So they joined the supporters in overturning the Mayor's veto.
It's not a big deal. Grand Island has less than 50,000 residents and the change only impact city employees.
But as a symbol of the significant shift in public opinion just in the past decade, Grand Island tells us where rural conservative America is today. They may pass constitutional amendments denying our rights, but they are coming around.

Westboro Baptists Flee Student Counter Protest
Jim Burroway
November 25th, 2008
The Westboro Baptist clan was at it again, this time near Omaha Central High School last Friday. A counter protest by students turned, well, theatrical — in a rotten-tomatoes sort of way:
Students threw hamburgers and bottles of lemonade and milk at several members of the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan., students said after the protest. A video of the protest — recorded by 16-year-old student Mason Hartwell — showed one counterprotester on the ground, seated with his hands behind his back and flanked by two law enforcement officers.
Students also chanted several slogans — including the Pledge of Allegiance, where they yelled "Liberty and justice for all." Police persuaded the Westboro clan to leave once the situation threatened to get out of hand. Police said no one was injured and no one was arrested.
One State Reverses Position on CA Marriage Decision Stay
Timothy Kincaid
June 2nd, 2008
Last week the Attorneys General of ten states united to request that the Supreme Court of California stay its decision to treat all citizens equal under the law until November: Alaska, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Michigan, Nebraska, New Hampshire, South Carolina, South Dakota and Utah. They claimed that if California allowed gay couples to marry that this would create havoc and confusion for the court systems in their own states.
Immediately one state stood out from the others.
Although not all of these states have anti-gay marriage clauses in their constitution, only one state, New Hampshire, has taken efforts to offer recognition to same-sex relationships. And New Hampshire already had taken legislative steps to direct how out-of-state gay marriages would be treated – as civil unions.
Now it seems that the havoc and confusion caused by gay marriage in New Hampshire has been cleared up. Attorney General Kelly Ayotte, has now been apprised of the law in her state.
The Boston Globe reports
[O]n Saturday, Attorney General Kelly Ayotte announced that New Hampshire was withdrawing from the request because the state addresses the recognition issue in its civil union law.
She said under the law, New Hampshire will recognize a legal gay marriage from California as a civil union.
Ten State Attorney Generals ask California Supreme Court to Stay Marriage Decision
Timothy Kincaid
May 30th, 2008
The Attorneys General for the states of Alaska, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Michigan, Nebraska, New Hampshire, South Carolina, South Dakota and Utah have petitioned the Supreme Court of California to stay their marriage equality decision (place it on hold) until November. They argue that citizens of other states will marry in California and come home to sue their own state for recognition.
"We reasonably believe an inevitable result of such 'marriage tourism' will be a steep increase in litigation of the recognition issue in our courts," Utah Attorney General Mark L. Shurtleff wrote in the brief submitted on behalf of the 10 states.
However their argument fails on three fronts.
First, they assume that voters in November will reverse this decision. That result is not a foregone conclusion. And there is no reason to believe that these Attorneys General would be any more prepared for 'marriage tourism' in November than they are today; it's hardly been a secret that the Supreme Court was considering this case. And if they aren't prepared, then they have no right to punish gay couples for their own ineptitude.
Second, the federal DOMA provides states protection from just such a challenge. If there is any challenge, it would be to federal law, and federal law is not going to change between now and November.
Third, the California decision has not raised any new risk to their states' entrenched discrimination. There is nothing to stop a legally married Massachusetts couple from moving to New Hampshire today and suing for recognition.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Governor of California, and Jerry Brown, the Attorney General of California, agree that this issue has been resolved and oppose a stay. Marriage equality is supported by the California Lieutenant Governor, the California Senate, the California House, and a majority of the California voters.
So to you outsiders I say: Go home. You are not Californians. Your constitution is not our constitution. Your laws are not our laws. Your values are not our values. Your biases are not our biases. Stop being meddlesome busy-bodies and leave the citizens of the State of California alone.
Student Senate Says No To Funding Mike Haley's Speech
Timothy Kincaid
March 1st, 2008
Mike Haley is the manager of community education/mobilization for Focus on the Family's Community Impact Outreach division, aka political activist.
Haley has a testimony about how he was once a gay prostitute but now he's a husband and a father. And though that endears him to some, those who know and like gay folk are less likely to want to listen to his gay-cure tale.
The student senate at Hastings College, a private liberal arts school in Nebraska affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA), is one such group. The Campus Crusade sought to bring Haley on campus to speak and asked the senate for funding. The association emailed the student body and from the responses determined that about 70% did not want their student fees spent for that purpose. So the student group is denying funding.
Campus Crusade will now ask local churches to sponsor Mike Haley's speech.

Hoffman: A Fresh Face Even as Age Catches Up; Actor's Options Narrow, Yet the Roles He Plays Are Getting Stronger
By BERNARD WEINRAUB
Published: February 17, 1998
HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 16— After lunch in a Japanese restaurant in a mini-mall on the fringe of Brentwood, Dustin Hoffman was happily posing outside in the rain for a photo with several parking lot attendants. A Japanese tourist looked on with puzzlement at first, then enlightenment.
''You're a famous man,'' she said excitedly, pointing to Mr. Hoffman. ''You're a famous old movie star.''
Mr. Hoffman groaned. ''Is that what I am?'' he said. ''A famous old movie star?''
Not that he's complaining. At 60, Dustin Hoffman, one of the most versatile and respected actors in the movie business, is at a point in a career of nearly four decades where the options are narrowing but the roles seem somehow stronger. The winner of two Academy Awards, for ''Kramer vs. Kramer'' (1979) and ''Rain Man'' (1988), Mr. Hoffman has been nominated once more for an Oscar, this time for his comedic turn as an eccentric, high-powered Hollywood producer in ''Wag the Dog,'' directed by Barry Levinson and written by David Mamet and Hilary Henkin.
Sitting in the simple restaurant eating sashimi and sipping sake, he acknowledged the award with the mixture of angst and gallows humor that seems to stamp his personality. ''It's a relief not to lose,'' he said quietly. ''It's a relief that you don't have to deal with the feelings of being left out.''
Compared with formidable movie actors of his generation like Jack Nicholson, Robert De Niro or Al Pacino, Mr. Hoffman has never settled into a single role or persona on screen since his movie career took off with ''The Graduate'' in 1967, followed by ''Midnight Cowboy'' two years later. ''There's no such thing as a Dustin Hoffman role,'' said Mr. Levinson, who also directed him in ''Rain Man,'' ''Sleepers'' and ''Sphere,'' which opened on Friday.
''What Dustin really is is a character actor as leading man,'' said Mr. Levinson. ''Compare Benjamin in 'The Graduate' to Ratso Rizzo in 'Midnight Cowboy.' Or Raymond in 'Rain Man' to Stanley Potts in 'Wag the Dog.' They're night and day. Who takes risks like him?''
Mr. Hoffman doubts that the Oscar nomination will result in scripts' piling up on his Brentwood doorstep. ''In terms of career, well, it doesn't really have much effect,'' he said. ''Being a good actor is irrelevant in today's market. More than any other time, it's not the quality of your work but the magnetism of your personality. Good acting doesn't bring large numbers of people in on an opening weekend, does it?''
And then there's the issue of age -- an almost verboten subject in Hollywood -- which Mr. Hoffman discussed with unusual candor. He cited a movie project he had been working on with a director: only the other day, he said, his agents were told by studio executives that the script rewrite had led them to seek out a younger actor.
''That's the mantra of the studios: let's go with a younger actor,'' he said. ''Studios know that I'm not going to embarrass or hurt a film in terms of acting. But from their point of view I could hurt the film in terms of numbers.'' He shrugged.
Mr. Hoffman spoke without a trace of bitterness. Age is a bleak fact of life in Hollywood or, for that matter, anywhere, he said.
''You get older and the window of opportunity narrows, as I knew it would,'' he said. ''I was 30 when I did 'The Graduate.' When I did 'Marathon Man,' I said to John Schlesinger, 'I know this is the last shot I have of being a college student.'''
''If I read something interesting now, the first question is to my wife --'How young can I look? Can I look 40?' 'No,' she says. 'Can I look 45?' 'Nope.' '' He smiled. ''So, with the right lighting I can look maybe late 40's. And then you call up and say, 'Does this character have to be 38? Can't he be 48?' So your choices narrow.''
Startled by Fate Of 'Mad City'
Still, he has appeared in three films in recent months: ''Sphere,'' ''Wag the Dog'' and Costa Gavras's ''Mad City,'' in which Mr. Hoffman played a television journalist who exploits a hostage takeover by a museum guard, played by John Travolta. The film flopped.
''The resounding crash startled us,'' said Mr. Hoffman, who has had his share of high-profile flops, among them ''Ishtar'' (1987), ''Billy Bathgate'' (1991) and ''Hero'' (1992).
Of ''Mad City,'' Mr. Hoffman said, ''It's a flawed movie. And you can't do a drama today unless it's a masterpiece. And it may have had Travolta in a role that people weren't interested in. And I'm not Mel Gibson. I don't draw that crowd.''
In fact, Mr. Hoffman said most of the large-scale studio films he had been offered in recent years, like ''Outbreak'' (1994), have already been turned down by ''Harrison, Mel, those guys.'' He added, ''If I were a studio head I'd certainly send it to the people who open movies.''
By contrast, ''Wag the Dog'' is a success, perhaps partly because the film bizarrely mirrors current events. Mr. Hoffman plays a famous producer who is hired by a Presidential spin doctor (Mr. De Niro) to manufacture a fake war to distract the nation from a Presidential sex scandal.
Mr. Hoffman said he almost walked away from the film several times. ''It scared me. I didn't know what I was doing at the beginning,'' he said. Mr. Levinson pressed him, he said, and Mr. De Niro yelled at him to remain with the film. The costume designer, Rita Ryack, began tossing outfits at him, Mr. Hoffman recalled: '' 'Here's what Lew Wasserman wears, here's what Bob Evans wears, here's what Swifty Lazar wore, here's what so-and-so wears,' she said.'' He then began constructing the character.

LONDON (Reuters) - The number of new medicines approved or pending approval is on the rise on both sides of the Atlantic, painting an encouraging picture for the global drugs industry as it emerges from a wave of patent expiries.
European regulators said on Tuesday that they expect an increase in new drug applications to about 54 in 2013. In the United States, a total of 34 new drugs have been approved for sale so far in 2012 - the highest level in eight years.
The sector badly needs a pick-up in productivity as companies try to refill their medicine chests after a wave of patient expiries that have peaked this year, depriving leading U.S. and European drug companies of more than $30 billion of revenue.
"It bodes well," said Standard & Poor's (S&P) analyst Olaf Toelke, who predicts that strong pipelines will allow most large drugmakers to emerge unscathed from the spike in sales losses.
"It shows that companies are addressing the need to find new drugs to replace those facing patent expiration. They have done their homework and it looks as if the industry will be at least stable in future and not fall off the threatened patent cliff."
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), gatekeeper to the world's biggest pharmaceuticals market, still has just over a week to add more approvals to this year's tally - and there are signs that the number will increase further.

Enzyme Commission Summary:
This reaction is a summary of two individual reactions catalyzed by the enzyme, which are listed above.
This enzyme catalyzes two sequential methylation reactions, the first forming precorrin-1 and the second leading to the formation of precorrin-2. It is the first of three steps leading to the formation of siroheme from uroporphyrinogen III. The second step involves an NAD(+)-dependent dehydrogenation to form sirohydrochlorin from precorrin-2 ( EC 220.127.116.11) and the third step involves the chelation of Fe(2+) to sirohydrochlorin to form siroheme ( EC 188.8.131.52). In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the last two steps are carried out by a single bifunctional enzyme, Met8p. In some bacteria, steps 1-3 are catalyzed by a single multifunctional protein called CysG, whereas in Bacillus megaterium, three separate enzymes carry out each of the steps, with SirA being responsible for the above reaction. Also involved in the biosynthesis of cobalamin.

Downsizing may be appealing, but consider these first
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
In recent posts, my colleague Russ Koesterich outlined why the
labor market recovery will continue to frustrate the Fed,
and Jeff Rosenberg examined
one key reason why the central bank is set to keep rates low
for some time. I agree with these points, and want to step back
and talk about some of the long-term structural headwinds that
labor markets face today.
First, let's take a look at the official statistics. While
headline unemployment has been declining for the last couple of
years, looking at the official
unemployment rate
as a signpost for the overall health of labor markets is highly
misleading. Indeed, both investors and the Fed itself are
increasingly focusing on a broader array of labor market metrics.
Chiefly, and unfortunately, much of the decline in the
unemployment rate can be attributed to the fact that more and
more people are dropping out of the labor force (shown in the
chart below via the decline in the
participation rate
That is hardly the sign of a thriving employment
Source: Bloomberg
To complicate matters, the labor market is struggling with
some serious long-term issues that can't be easily helped by
conventional or unconventional monetary policy fixes. I would
point to four factors:
Transition to Temporary Hiring
: For many businesses today, hiring full-time workers (with the
added benefits costs they bring) is simply too expensive. Indeed,
for some time the growth in benefit costs has outstripped that of
wages and salaries, so it is not surprising that we have seen an
increased use of temporary workers throughout the recovery.
Demographic Challenges
: Many members of the Baby Boom generation (roughly those 48 to
65 years old) are staying in the workforce longer. They are
healthy, experienced, and in need of greater retirement funds.
That has the effect of crowding out younger people from the
Technological Disruption
: Prior to the Internet-era (pre-1990s), there was a positive
correlation between productivity growth and hiring. Today,
however, that relationship is negative, as web-based distribution
models have tended to crush the margins and profitability of
localized (people-heavy) companies. Simply put, greater
productivity now tends to result in less, not more, job
Skills/Jobs Mismatches
: The pace of recovery in the jobs market has been highly uneven
among sectors and in different demographic groups. Specifically,
sectors such as financial, real-estate-related and state and
local government have seen anemic jobs growth, while others have
experienced better conditions. At the same time, there has been a
sharp distinction between those with college degrees and those
without, with the former group finding new employment much more
quickly. It is extremely difficult to shift large numbers of
workers from one industry to another, or to quickly retrain or
educate those who are out of work-factors that are holding back
the pace of job creation.
The upshot for investors? Regardless of who next heads the
Fed's monetary policy committee, or precisely when the tapering
of quantitative easing begins, we think
the Fed is likely to keep policy rates low and forward
guidance dovish for a long time.

Nel penalised by ECB
The ECB has confirmed that Essex cricketer, Andre Nel, has received six penalty points under the ECB's discipline code following incidents during Essex's LV County Championship match against Derbyshire on April 23-26 2008.
Nel was reported by umpires Tim Robinson and Richard Illingworth for two separate level two breaches of the code, each of which attracts a penalty of three points:
1. Using language or gesture that is obscene or of a serious insulting nature to another player, umpire, referee, team official or spectator.
2. Throwing the ball at or near a player, umpire or official in an inappropriate and dangerous manner.
The penalty points remain on Nel's record for a period of two years. The accumulation of nine or more penalty points in any two-year period will result in an automatic suspension.

This is GREAT!! When will we start to see the results on line for researchers?ReplyDelete
The Indiana marriage index will not go online until it is completed. We don't know just how many total records there are to be indexed--the estimate is somewhere in the millions. But at the pace these wonderful volunteers are going each month, the index may be online sooner rather than later.ReplyDelete

Rappin' With Cheech and Chong About Weed, D.C. Museums, and Annie Hall
When Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong scored a surprise hit with their 1978 film Up in Smoke, marijuana legalization was unheard of and the horrors of Reefer Madness still lurked in people's minds. The pair became a force in the normalization of pot, even after they broke up in the 1980s. Reunited for a comedy tour (the duo was scheduled to perform in a now-canceled show at Lincoln Theatre tomorrow night) with a new movie in the works, Cheech and Chong reflect on pot, D.C.'s best museum, and being stoner icons in a world in which a stoner can grow up to be president.

Oh, Uma!
Last week's list of the best soundtracks of the '80s naturally got us thinking--what happened in the next decade? We instantly thought of so many classic '90s soundtracks we couldn't limit it to just 10. Turns out a lot of cool stuff happened in the decade of Zubaz, boy bands, and Ally McBeal. Read on for the top 15 movie soundtracks of the '90s.
Oh, Uma!
15. "Where Is My Mind?", the Pixies, Fight Club, 1999
OK, so this is the best song from the soundtrack by far, but it's so perfect it had to be included.
14. "Graduate," Third Eye Blind, Can't Hardly Wait, 1998
Because we had to include a song by Third Eye Blind. Come on, it wouldn't be the '90s without them. (Though, in answer to the song's rhetorical question, the answer is never, brah.) Plus the movie's named for a Replacements track. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to listen to "Jumper." And "How's It Going to Be."
13. "The Ghost in You," Counting Crows, Clueless, 1995
Same deal with Counting Crows. A '90s soundtrack staple right there. After my Third Eye Blind binge, I'm officially crowning the '90s the era of the sensitive bro. But you can't deny a movie that also includes songs by Radiohead, Beastie Boys, Coolio, Supergrass, and Velocity Girl. The decade at its finest.
12. "At the Dark End of the Street," the Commitments, The Commitments, 1991
This cult classic about a bunch of Irish misfits who form a soul band features seriously great versions of classics like "Mustang Sally" and "Try a Little Tenderness."
11. "Spybreak! (Short One)," Propellerheads, The Matrix, 1999
The Matrix soundtrack features heavy music in all its forms, from Marilyn Manson's goth-rock to Rammstein's industrial metal to this song by big-beat duo Propellerheads, used in the iconic lobby shootout scene.
10. "Down for Whatever," Ice Cube, Office Space, 1999
For a comedy about white-collar workers, Office Space has a surprisingly bangin' soundtrack, featuring the likes of Geto Boys, Scarface, and Kool Keith. Not surprisingly, a theme of terrible jobs and worse bosses runs throughout.
9. "I Want You to Want Me," Letters to Cleo, 10 Things I Hate About You, 1999
The semi-Shakespearean tale of teenage lust and paintball fights ends with an amazing shot of Letters to Cleo (where are they now?) playing their cover of Cheap Trick's "I Want You to Want Me" on top of Tacoma's Stadium High. RIP Heath.
8. "Dead Man Theme," Neil Young, Dead Man, 1995
Neil Young created the soundtrack for this "acid Western" starring Johnny Depp by improvising on his electric guitar in a recording studio while watching the newly-edited film. The result is a hazy wash of reverb and emotionally powerful solos that remains compelling to this day. Now that's talent.
7. "Exit Music (For a Film)," Radiohead, Romeo + Juliet, 1996
The standout track from Baz Luhrmann's interpretation of the doomed-love tale was not released on the official soundtrack, instead appearing the next year on the band's OK Computer album. But that didn't stop the soundtrack from being awesome, with hits like "#1 Crush" by Garbage and "Lovefool" by The Cardigans making the cut.
6. "Glory Box," Portishead, Stealing Beauty, 1996
Liv Tyler had a three-film run of amazing soundtracks in the '90s, starting with Empire Records (with its unforgettable use of Gin Blossoms' "Til I Hear It from You") in 1995, then following up with That Thing You Do and Stealing Beauty the next year. The Stealing Beauty soundtrack is packed with badass contributions from Liz Phair, Mazzy Star, Cocteau Twins, and Sam Phillips.
5. "Dark and Long," Underworld, Trainspotting, 1996
Most people would go for Underworld's "Born Slippy .Nuxx" as the standout track from this film about Scottish junkies, but the equally intense "Dark and Long" plays during the film's most horrifying, tripped-out scene. (If you don't know what I'm talking about... shudder.) Don't do drugs, kids.
4. "Save Me," Aimee Mann, Magnolia, 1999
What is up with the '90s and the spectacular, single-artist-dominated soundtracks? Aimee Mann outdoes herself on the score for P.T. Anderson's Magnolia, and her song "Save Me" was nominated for an Academy Award.
3. "Misirlou," Dick Dale, Pulp Fiction, 1994
Surf and early rock 'n' roll make the backbone of the Pulp Fiction soundtrack, because, according to director Quentin Tarantino, it added a certain dramatic flair: "It just seems like rock 'n' roll Ennio Morricone music, rock 'n' roll spaghetti Western music." It also features the Dusty Springfield classic "Son of a Preacher Man." You can't argue with that.
2. "Blister in the Sun," Violent Femmes, Grosse Pointe Blank, 1997
Grosse Pointe Blank is all about the music, so it makes sense that it sports a killer soundtrack. It makes even more sense when you find out the punk, New Wave, and ska songs that make up the soundtrack were chosen by Joe Strummer of The Clash. Duh.
1. "Drown," Smashing Pumpkins, Singles, 1992
Singles goes all the way with grunge (it came out in 1992, after all), featuring songs by pretty much every major band of the era-- Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Mother Love Bone, Soundgarden, Screaming Trees, and Mudhoney are all included. Before they got super-famous. How hip is that? But the best track of all belongs to Smashing Pumpkins, who released "Drown" specifically for the movie.
What's your favorite '90s soundtrack? Add it in the comments!

I'm on prednisone to manage my RA, and I was recently put on a higher dose (20 mg/day) to manage vasculitis, a complication of the RA. I'm tapering off now (I'm down to 15 mg/day), and will work down to 10 mg/day where I will probably have to stay in order to manage my disease while staying off other more harmful drugs while TTC.Ā We're planning on TTC in a few weeks, so I've been charting the last 2 months (plus I have old charts to look at from my first pregnancy). This month, my period was a few days late, and I kept thinking I was pregnant! Turns out I am not, but I'm wondering if my ovulation is going to be off now that I have been on a higher dose of pred. Did any of you have problems with late/irregular periods on pred.? And if so, how long did it take to return to normal?

Yes, and I did read online that "irregular periods" can be a side effect of prednisone. I was 2-3 days late this month, which isn't that big of a deal, but I'm wondering if it will mess with ovulation in the upcoming months. I'm tapering down now - I've been on 15mg for a week. I'll try and remember to post in August to update you and let you know if I'm back to my normal cycle! I'll be on 10mg/day by then, and possibly TTC! :)

From: Josh Maschino
I am writing in response to the front page article on the Crump staying closed because I have a solution I would like to extend to the public. The Crump is in great need of repair, and there is plenty of community support to save it. Because of its historic value, there can be plenty of support from around the world.
If there is so much love for this building, then why not just be proactive about it and get the job done? There is plenty of money in this community to have the community come together and fix it up together as a community center. You could use the Crump as a theater with less seating to make room for booths/tables and dance space, and the primary use would be an event house or even a place to welcome people to the community for another event you have going on.
Why hire one or two companies to fix it up when the community can just work together to do it? You also call downtown the arts district and claim to love art, so why not pay artists to paint the side of the Crump? This can pay for a lot of renovation. One side of the building has plenty of traffic as people are leaving town or going downtown.

The Hotel Albatross
Pan Macmillan Australia, Jul 1, 2009 - Fiction - 276 pages
From the bestselling author of The Household Guide to Dying comes a funny and moving account of life in the country.
The Captain and his wife accidentally find themselves managing the Hotel Albatross. The Captain floats between the hotel's various bars: chatting to and chatting up customers, breaking up fights, and dealing calmly with the simmering tensions of a small town. His wife has her hands full with the day-to-day running of the hotel: mediating between family members fighting over wedding decorations, appeasing disgruntled staff members and dealing with the horror of what lies in room 101. She also dreams of getting out...
Debra Adelaide has created a wonderfully poignant novel about hotel management and human nature. She weaves the eccentric cast of characters together beautifully with the politics of life in a small town to give the reader a sometimes humorous, sometimes heartbreaking glimpse into what it would be like to live at the Hotel Albatross.

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

August 2009: Making the Grade
August 2009
Making the Grade
On a Positive Note…
Yeah, I heard it; some of them put me down," says Shelby Crawford of her 44 male masonry competitors. "One of them said I might as well give it up now."
Crawford competed in the 44th annual SkillsUSA national masonry contest in Kansas City in June 2008.
"I just told them 'We'll see after I compete,'" she says. "The best part was that I finished higher than many of my critics."
Following graduation from Eureka Springs High School in Arkansas, Crawford returned to Kansas City to compete in her second national competition. Two excellent instructors trained her. Larry Wicker was her instructor during her junior year and was a mentor and supporter. He encouraged her to do anything – including masonry – that she desired.
"Mr. Wicker was an awesome instructor," Crawford says. "He taught me everything I needed to know."
"Shelby was dedicated, self-motivated, and exhibited strong leadership qualities," says Wicker. "She helped her fellow students when the need arose and had a kind word for everyone."
Mike Bonds was Crawford's instructor her senior year.
"Mr. Bonds was taught by Mr. Wicker," says Crawford. "He is so much like Mr. Wicker, it's like we never lost [Wicker]. Mr. Bonds has done a great job."
Crawford has participated in her SkillsUSA Club since her freshman year. An accomplished equestrian, she has been showing horses and winning awards and championships for years.
"Being part of SkillsUSA and competing have made me a better person. It's taught me how to believe in myself and to work with others," says Crawford, who will start a three-year program this fall at Northwest Arkansas Community College to become a registered nurse.
"Masonry work will help me (financially) get through nursing school," she says. "I guess it doesn't hurt to be qualified for two different careers."

Got a story you'd like to share? Click here to send it to
our editors!
I came to know what a prayer shawl was when a friend gave one to me after I had been in the hospital about 18 months ago. When I put it around my shoulders, it felt like a hug from God.
I felt I just had to pass along this ministry to people in my church, Northway Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Dallas, Texas. I asked my friend to come talk to anyone interested in knitting shawls, and to my surprise, about 20 ladies came! Now, just a bit over a year later, we have celebrated our first anniversary and have knitted our 100th item. We knit shawls, and also lap robes for people in wheelchairs. We knitted neck scarves for seniors departing for college last May, and we are now checking into making "chemo caps" or sleeping caps for ladies who have lost their hair for any reason.
We meet once a month and pass along tips and idea on knitting. But mainly we enjoy the fellowship of each other - people for whom knitting is their passion. As one of our members put it, it combines two of her greatest loves - knitting and serving God! It doesn't get better than that.

Baby on a bus situation
So it looks like I might need to start taking the baby on the bus to her daycare, which is downtown. I say baby… she's pretty much a toddler now, being just under one and a half, and pretty squirmy with it to. My preferred travel option with her when on foot is to put her in a backpack, which she loves and which chills her right out, but we also have a stroller. So… what is the best way to carry her on the bus? I've considered just standing with her in the backpack the whole way, but it seems like there might be a safety concern. There's taking the backpack off and keeping her in it, which seems like it might have similar concerns. Taking her right out of the backpack and putting her in my lap seems like it might be the most safety conscious option, but that assumes a seat and that she will stay put - that later condition being highly unlikely. And then it may be the same deal with the stroller. Thoughts?

How long do babies play?
Google and Google Scholar are not helping me answer this. I'd like to know what the typical/bell curve range of attention span and play episodes (not eye contact) are for infants and young toddlers (under 2).

I'm especially interested in solitary play episode length with a single object.

This is a joke, right?
Rather out of the blue, my husband of 7 years brought up the baby question, about 5 years after our last conversation on the topic. I came back to him later that evening with one "neutral" (and sufficient) class of reasons why I was not interested in forming another babby: I don't want to give up my current freedoms to go back to the baby/preschooler parenting lifestyle. But behind that there is a big pile of more emotionally charged reasons that I didn't mention, and I don't know if I should. [more inside]

This homeless shelter was designed to house 140 people.
Today more than 240 call The Shelter home.
"It's overly crowded. There's no beds," said a woman we spoke with who has been living at the Shelter for over a year. She didn't want us to use her name. She says people are trying to get back on their feet, but they can't find work.
"We don't have jobs, basically because nobody has jobs. They have been trying to go to the labor pool, but they don't send anybody out," she said.
And for the homeless, what little they have could soon be taken away.
State Senators are considering cutting two million dollars from the Department of Children and Families Office of Homelessness.
And 65 million federal stimulus dollars have run dry.
Health and Human Services lobbyist Karen Woodall says the funding drop could leave thousands in the cold.
"Cutting any money to serve the homeless population is not a good idea… and I think the challenge to the legislature, there are other areas to cut funding," said Woodall.
Woodall says lawmakers could save 24 million dollars by eliminating subsidies for pro sports teams.
Other places to find money include eliminating tax exemptions on bottled water and collecting the Internet sales taxes.
A one day count in 2009 found 58-thousand homeless people living in the state.
New homeless statics will be out by the end of the month.

NAHBS 2013: Our Favorite Mountain Bikes
Mendon Cyclesmith Lefty Crown
10 / 17
Cannondale's older Headshok Lefty forks, which have aluminum legs, are currently the easiest solution for front suspension on fat bikes. But, they require some modification: To make them work, you need wider crowns. Newer forks won't work, as they have carbon legs that can't be swapped into the new crowns. For the fork on this bike, Form Cycles turned to Mendon Cyclesmith.

Bundle css = new Bundle("~/MyCSS", typeof(CssMinify));
