Wauwatosa - A parent has lost his bid to attach "Hug & Go Zone" signs to "No Parking" signs outside of Madison Elementary School.
The parent, Jason Kauflin, said Tuesday that he hasn't decided whether to try an alternative proposal or to just drop his effort.
Kauflin wanted the hug signs on the east side of N. 100th St., where many parents drop off their children in the morning. Because some parents park along the street, despite the city's no-parking signs, he thought the hug-and-go message might help keep traffic flowing.
But the city public works director rejected the request, saying the message would confuse some motorists. And on Monday the city Board of Public Works upheld the denial, saying it didn't want to create a precedent.
A story last week on Kauflin's request drew more than 40 reader comments.

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 08/15/14 --
Attention: Business / Financial Editors
Kensington Capital Advisors Inc. (the "Manager"), the manager of Kensington Global Private Equity Fund ("Global Fund"), announced today that it has approved a proposed transaction involving the Global Fund and a new private investment trust to be known as "Kensington Private Equity Fund" ("New Fund").
Under the proposed transaction, Global Fund will transfer all of its portfolio assets to New Fund which will issue units to Global Fund in consideration. Global Fund will then redeem its own units and distribute New Fund units in the same number and of the same class to unitholders. As a result of the Transaction, unitholders of Global Fund will become unitholders of New Fund in the same economic position as they were prior to the Transaction. New Fund will have the same investment portfolio managed by the same investment team with the same investment objectives and strategies as Global Fund. The rights attaching to the units of New Fund, including the fees payable, will remain the same. The principal change resulting from the Transaction is the structural transition to a private fund that is not a reporting issuer.
A special meeting of Global Fund unitholders has been called and will be held at 8:30 a.m. (Toronto time) on September 17, 2014 at 1 First Canadian Place, Suite 6300, 100 King Street West, Toronto, Ontario to consider and vote upon the Transaction. Details of the Transaction will be outlined in a management information circular to be prepared and sent to unitholders of record on August 18, 2014 in connection with the special meeting.

The essence of data analysis involves setting up data pipelines that consist of several operations that are chained together – starting from data collection, data quality checks, data integration, data analysis and data visualization (including the setting up of interaction paths in that visualization). In our opinion, the challenges stem from the technology diversity at each stage of the data pipeline as well as the lack of process around the analysis.

Light sensors made from carbon nanotube macrobundles
Researchers at Tsinghua University in Beijing/PR China now have constructed a simple setup with macrobundles, up to 50 µm wide, consisting of thousands of aligned CNTs suspended between two electrodes, which can sense the incident visible and infrared light through the difference of current flowthrough the bundle.

Don't Miss This Jet Ho! (Rating: 8 out of 10- -4.0 stars),
This review is from: The Stoned Immaculate (Audio CD)
Curren$y's second album on WEA, The Stoned Immaculate came out at just the right time for the summer of 2012. I was able to hear the album a few days before it's release and see a few videos for the album. Unlike the past few albums and mixtapes, he aims for commercial sounding style of production rather than the mellow style that he had on the past albums. While not too commercial as in such as heard on the radio, but the production here can appeal to a larger audience and he can flow just as good as on it. Another big difference is unlike Weekend at Burnies, he has a more wider selection of guests here rather than just his homeboys from the Jet Life crew (ie. Trademark and Young Roddy). With this album expect a slight difference in the way it flows compared to the previous ones he has made.
The first song is the first single "What It Look Like" featuring Wale, as a great starter for the album. Following that is "Privacy Glass" is pretty hot. One thing I noticed about this album is that Curren$y rhymes less about smoking and more about females. Expect a few songs about them on this album as well such as "Privacy Glass". "Armoire" has a great beat and features Trademark and Young Roddy on the hook. Thankfully that is the only time we will get to hear them on this album (not saying that they are bad but I just gotten tired of them). J.U.S.T.I.C.E League produces the next track "Take You There" featuring Marsha Ambrosius. Obviouslly telling that she is on the song it's aimed for a commercial style track, which is overall good just by the way it sounds. The next track "Showroom" has that older sounding style that Curren$y uses on his previous albums. "Capitol" features 2 Chains and its a pretty hot track as well as the video for the song. "No Squares" has him colaborating with his old parter in rhyme Wiz Khalifa for a hot track. The next track "Sunroof" with Cornerboy P another member of the Jet Life family is pretty solid but not as rememerable as the other tracks. "Chasing Papers" and "Thats The Thing" has odd colaborations with Pharrell Williams and Estelle respectively, another obvious attempt for mainstraim success. The latter song is another female friendly track. "Chandelier" is one of the best songs of the album, as Curren$y flows perfectly over the production here. The next song "Fast Cars, Faster Women" featuring Daz Dillinger is another great song. The last song on the album is my favorite "Jet Life" with Wiz Khalifa and Big K.R.I.T. on the hook. The track helps end the album on a high note.
Overall Stoned Immaculate isn't better than his previous album. I would say its more of a side step rather than a step forward. There are obvious attempts at mainstream success here, but I wouldn't be going far as to say that Curren$y sold out. He still has that nice flow as on previous albums, but here the production style is a little different. This is definately one of the best albums of 2010, and I recommend it to those who are interested. While I'm at it, I wonder if its possible that we can get a "How Fly 2" mixtape/album? Both artists are under WEA so it shouldn't be that hard to put that together. Peace.
Note: If you download this album on iTunes or Amazon mp3, you get three bonus tracks.

Click Me + Hi!I'm Marie You have gifts to share with the world and my job is to help you get them out there. read more For as long as I can remember, I've had an acute recognition of the relative shortness of our lives. It might have to do with my obsession with Zombie movies (I've loved them and watched them since I was a kid!), or perhaps it's something a bit more primal. I believe it's wise for all of us to remember, and keep consistently in the forefront of our minds, that time is the most precious, non-renewable resource we have. We're all on the same train, heading to the same destination — death. We don't know when our stop will come, but we do know this ride won't last forever.

Profound and important lessons that few people really "get" until it's too late. Side note: I'm so, so honored that Bronnie is one of our beloved B-School graduates.

The "WGT 19th Hole" series focuses on featuring the players, personalities and country clubs that make up the global WGT community.
YankeeJim - An East Coast Guy with a Lot to Say
WGTer YankeeJim is an original ("OG") player, who has been actively playing WGT and contributing to the forums since 2009. He discovered WGT as a replacement for his old golf game (of 10 years!), just after the Bethpage Black course had been added to the game and says, "It was quite addicting, especially if you're a real golfer, like I am."
YankeeJim lives in New York ("God's Country - Upstate New York" to be exact), about 3 1/2 hours west of Bethpage Black. He says, "Upstate is just like what you see on that course" and that "the first time [he] ever saw Upstate New York [he] knew [he] wasn't leaving."
A west coaster's look at New York – if they've never seen it – is New York City. That's what I knew in my mind, and when I was presented with the opportunity to move to New York I wasn't thrilled. I didn't want to live in the big city. Heh, shows what I knew. I flew into Syracuse and drove to Rochester to find a place to live, and was absolutely astounded by what I saw. The drive from Syracuse to Rochester on the NYS Thruway knocked me out. I couldn't believe the cornfields and cows and farmhouses and all the space! This ain't the big city, this is home! That was 36 years ago."
Aside from being a proud New Yorker, YankeeJim is a self-taught cabinetmaker: "I design and build custom kitchens, I do it from scratch and I work alone. I like to say I do for a living what most guys do for a hobby. It's hugely rewarding." Check out these pictures he shared with us from a recent project:
So, why do you play WGT?
"I became totally immersed in the game and the community is a bonus. I've been a forum rat from the start and totally enjoy the characters and discussions that fill it daily. It's also a great way to share stuff, especially game specifics. I have zero patience with players that blame the game for their shortcomings. I play the same game and I can explain 99% of my results, so I'm sure it's the same for anybody that pays attention."
"As such an experienced player, we asked what advice he would give to new WGT players. His advice: "I have always played this game by feel...In fact, I learned early on if you play this game with the same mindset you play a real course, you will do well. Learn your clubs and play smart around the courses. Bethpage Black was brutal with starter gear and I couldn't qualify for the first VUSO because I couldn't get better than 66 and I think the cut was low 60s." Put more simply, "You can't do anything about the shot you just made, pay attention to the next one."
What's in YankeeJim's Virtual Golf Bag
"I have always played with the best equipment available. I like the Nike balls because the Vapor carry is close to the rated distance with them. Knowing club carry is the biggest thing to learn, IMO, and the combination makes it easy to play by feel. Judicious use of the spin required."
Besides playing WGT and building beautiful cabinetry, you can find YankeeJim spending time with his family, taking care of his wife who lives with MS and cheering on the New York Yankees -- here he is at a game with his two sons!
Thanks for sharing, YankeeJim, and good luck in this year's Virtual U.S. Open...make that cut!
WE WANT TO GET TO KNOW YOU! If you'd like us to feature you or someone you know in a future "WGT 19th Hole" profile, please let us know at: players[at]wgt.com.

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ccr22m/reform_within) has announced the addition of the "Reform within austerity: UK public sector ICT overview and forecast to 2016-17" report to their offering.
Two years into its programme of government the coalition continues to wrestle with economic challenges and is already experiencing its fair share of events. Recovery of the economy has not been as sustained or as marked as the government hoped. Government forecasts for growth did not materialize as planned, and instead the economy hit a double-dip recession, which resulted in the chancellor of the exchequer announcing an extension of austerity measures.
The intended reforms of the NHS within n the Health and Social Care Bill continue to be opposed by a majority of clinicians and their professional bodies, which has kept the government in an energy-sapping battle of wills with the very doctors they seek to support. The events that triggered the Leveson enquiry into phone hacking and into relations between the press, politicians and civil servants, together with the proceedings of the enquiry itself, have exposed the actions of individual ministers and the prime minister himself to forensic scrutiny. While the coalition remains stable, it is under pressure and the strains between the coalition partners are beginning to tell. In the circumstances, the coalition's appetite for headline-grabbing far-reaching reforms is diminished, and for large-scale ICT programmes it is virtually non-existent.

The essence of data analysis involves setting up data pipelines that consist of several operations that are chained together – starting from data collection, data quality checks, data integration, data analysis and data visualization (including the setting up of interaction paths in that visualization). In our opinion, the challenges stem from the technology diversity at each stage of the data pipeline as well as the lack of process around the analysis.

Couldn't find anything very current on this so just want to make sure that there is no additional paperwork that you need to have other than the VOA application form. Do we need photos? Also, I have read in the past that even though it states not required, many people coming from Europe/N America have been asked for proof of a yellow fever vac. Does that still seem to be the case? My family already has the YF vaccination but a friend who is joining us does not. I think I'm going to recommend that she get it just in case.

Based on a visit mid-Feb 2014:
I always travel with a couple of passport sized photos, though. Just ones I've taken. Never needed them, but my friend did once when something got goofed up with her visa someplace in Eastern Europe.
Yellow fever-no, verified by my travel clinic.
Unless your friend will be traveling to other places within the next decade where yellow fever is needed, I don't think she should get a vaccine that is not needed.
Have a good time.
Report Abuse
Photos are not required.
Tanzanian officials finally seem to have their act together and recently are applying their rules as written: no YF cert needed if coming directly from a non-risk country (including from the US through Europe) or if transiting through an at-risk country for less than 12 hrs.

Open source is better off without FoundationDBSubmitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Friday 3rd of April 2015 10:26:04 AM Filed under
Database startup FoundationDB mysteriously vanished at the end of last month, along with both the downloads of its proprietary database and its open source projects.
As it turned out, Apple bought the company for internal use. I was interested in how this was perceived. When Ben Kepes of Forbes initially wrote about the purchase, for example, he erred in characterizing FoundationDB as all open source. It was an easy mistake; the company used the language of developer communities. Many of us assume "open" when we hear "community" because open source is so much the default these days.
How open source software builds strong roots for better governanceSubmitted by Roy Schestowitz on Friday 3rd of April 2015 09:45:15 AM Filed under
Open data and going digital are subjects high on the international agenda for global development, particularly when it comes to financing improved services and infrastructure for the poorest people in the world. Young people from Laos to Lagos aspire to become software developers, and smartphones are set to put unprecedented computing power into every corner of the earth. But the paradox is that many governments still only have rudimentary information technology infrastructure and often can't find trained and skilled staff to design and run it.
The Building Blocks of Open Source InnovationSubmitted by Roy Schestowitz on Friday 3rd of April 2015 09:30:07 AM Filed under
Open source code creation opens the door for IT developers across varied industries to adopt, modify and customize technology to their organization's specific needs. Companies are free to contribute to and adopt code so long as resources—such as intellectual property software audit services—are applied to ensure that the ground rules established by the code's originator are acknowledged and followed.

What does the future hold for the Internet of Things?Submitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Friday 3rd of April 2015 08:41:09 AM Filed under
I started getting involved with open source as a Computer Science (CS) grad student. I was using a combination of open source and proprietary software in my research. Given the nature of research, being able to rapidly prototype a concept and customize the tools involved are both hugely important goals. I found that open source tools often gave our team this win-win scenario where we were able to quickly try a variety of tools at no cost while also being empowered to modify or even combine solutions. This was a big advantage over using closed proprietary software.
Open Xchange teams with PowerDNS and Dovecot to create open source powerhouseSubmitted by Roy Schestowitz on Friday 3rd of April 2015 12:50:26 AM Filed under
OPEN-XCHANGE, the security conscious open source white label productivity provider from Germany, has announced a three-way merger to create one of the largest open source companies in Europe.
The deal sees the company join up with Dutch DNS software vendor PowerDNS and Finnish IMAP server provider Dovecot to form a pan-European powerhouse.
The new deal sees the combined Open-Xchange take a 90 percent market share in the secure DNS market and some 130 million user accounts.
We caught up with Open-Xchange CEO Rafael Laguna to get his thoughts on the news, starting with the advantages that the combined company will bring to the open source market.

"The university has since launched somewhere between 350 and 400 websites, all built on Drupal 7," writes Schaffhauser "While the CMS is centrally managed to keep the system updated, it grants individual colleges, programs and departments the flexibility to put up their own images, update text as they want, add and move site objects (themes, content types and Drupal "modules") and "essentially have a custom look with a managed system," [director of university Web services, Mark] Albert explained to Campus Technology.
'EC should replace PDF by HTML5 for its online forms'Submitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Thursday 2nd of April 2015 09:19:41 AM Filed under
The European Commission should stop using PDF for online application forms, say five European groups campaigning for open standards and free and open source software. The EC should instead switch to modern web tools such as HMTL5 and XForms. The EC's PDF forms often include elements that are only implemented in proprietary software from a particular vendor, the groups say.
