Recalls stink. And they stink for the dealers, importer and manufacturer too. I'm sure they are earnestly doing all they can (even though it might not *seem* like it to you).They probably don't want to promise a timeframe they might not be able to meet - so their estimate may be a little long.Just remember, we didn't buy YamaKawiZukis so we have to expect things to be a little different. We usually cut our host the occasional slack - goodness knows he cuts it for us enough!Patience friend.Matt
Dear Brothers and Sisters:I offer the two following short stories to, in particular, those colleagues who are experiencing the UCE recall. Both stories are true and, among others, include lessons about patience and positive thinking. I sincerely hope you put them to good use in your less than ideal but very temporary UCE recall situations.Absolutely No RegretsI know this fellow who first spoke of getting a motorcycle to the small group of family members and close friends who followed him out of the funeral home, as he stepped out for a cigarette, during his mother's viewing. All those around him were very surprised to hear his statement "I'm going to start looking at motorcycles." This was especially the case with his wife and soul mate of 31 years at the time. She and the others in the group asked questions like what are you saying and why at this point in your life? His responses were: "When I was about 10 years old, I drew the first art work worthy of going on the refrigerator's door. It was a motorcyclist leaned over on a curve ahead of a cloud of dust. As all of you know, my father" (who had passed away 9 years earlier) "was a car guy. Although he thought motorcycles were dangerous, it would have not killed him to have seen me on a motorcycle. When I was 15 years old, my mother, on the other hand, said to me: 'It would kill me to see you on a motorcycle.' This is why I am now going to start looking at motorcycles." He was 52 years old when he buried his 85 year old mother. This fellow can be seen on his motorcycle all over town and even when he visits his parents at the cemetery. You cannot miss him because he wears an open face helmet and he rides with a huge smile on his face. Those that do not know about his two-wheel career and ride with him make comments like you have ridden all your life or you have ridden a ton. Those who do know him and his motorcycle story have asked him do you regret not having started riding earlier in life? His response has always been: "Absolutely no regrets."The Happy Young Man Who Won the Poker RunThe Greater Atlanta British Motorcycle Association (GABMA) held its 24th British in the Blue Ridge Rally from June the 4th through the 7th. The Poker Run was held on Saturday morning. I helped two other club members at the last station. This was where the riders drew their 5th card and the three of us kept the scores. At approximately 12:30 PM two participants drew the best hands of the day. These were Four Kings and immediately following a Straight Flush. These hands were drawn by a fellow in his late forties and his nephew in his late teens. The Straight Flush hand held until 1:00 PM when we closed the event. Later in the afternoon and without giving away the winner of the Poker Run, I took the time to talk to these two fellow motorcycle enthusiasts. It turned out that the uncle lived in Florida and the nephew in Georgia. The uncle trailers his two impeccable 1969 Bonnevilles and he and his nephew get together every year for the rally. The two of them were quite the enthusiasts; they were very positive individuals, they were really "good people", so to say!All the awards for all the events were handed out starting at 7 o'clock in the evening by the club's president. The announcement of the Poker Run Award came at about 30 minutes into the ceremony. When David heard his name, he sped through the crowd toward the club president on his two wheels. He flashed an ear-to-ear smile at the audience, as he accepted the plaque. And, the happy young man who won the Poker Run sped back to his place on his wheelchair.Yes, the uncle has a Velorex sidecar attached to one of his beautiful Triumphs. His nephew cannot and will never ride a motorcycle on his own. But David can count on his uncle once a year to allow him to enjoy and participate in his favorite sport: riding motorcycles, especially in his uncle's sidecar! My friends, I close by listing some of the positive elements associated with the UCE recall. For the record, I do not draw a paycheck from either REM or CMW. In the interest of full disclosure, nonetheless, I am a shameless agent for the Bullet in all of its variations. In addition, I do feel bad for those of you who are going through your temporary trials and tribulations. The "filter" I include below should distill the matters we know into the pure truth or the facts and, obviously, trap the impurities or the emotions of the moment.The Positive Elements Associated with the UCE Recall Quality ControlWe have proof that REM has actually instituted quality control standards, measures, procedures and records because the factory employees were able to pinpoint the range of the VIN Numbers affected by recall.Identification/Solution/Plan of ActionREM readily identified the cause of the problem and its solution and developed a plan of action to fly the factory technicians and the parts to repair the affected units.TransparencyREM and CMW (1) put the recall and its cause out in the public domain in a very prompt manner.Clarity and Frequency of CommunicationsKevin Mahoney (1) has made very clear announcements regarding the recall. He has posted informative updates through the progression of the matter.ExpediencyMahoney (1) got the Federal Government of the United States of America to move in an atypically expeditious manner.Other ElementsAll of these are there if you reread the public record in the CMW Forum we access and post into. Note 1: I exclude the other international importers and distributors only because I am not aware of the steps they have taken with regards to this matter.In the end, I hope this post helps all, most or some of you. El Fin
Brs. Enfield_33 and Ace, I thank you. Yes, I am a glass-is-half-full kinda guy!

Birth Place: New York City, New York, USA
Born Dec. 22, 1922 in New York, NY, Lee was the son of Romanian immigrants, Jack and Celia, who struggled to raise their two sons during the Great Depression. A series of moves to cheaper neighborhoods - first to Washington Heights, then to the Bronx - only underscored the desperation of the times. A voracious reader who benefited from the encouragement to be creative from both parents, Lee developed an interest in writing at an early age. When he was 15, he received substantial encouragement to become a professional writer from an editor at the Harold Tribune after Lee had entered a writing contest.

The Middle Fork State Fish & Wildlife Area
is located 6 miles north of the Interstate 74 exit at Oakwood in Vermilion County. The area
consists of 2,700 acres of grass, forest and cropland, and provides excellent
wildlife habitat. The area is bounded on the east by Kennekuk Cove County
Park and on the south by Illinois Power Company's Vermilion Station. The
site received its name from the Middle Fork branch of the Vermilion River
which flows between Kennekuk Cove County Park and Middle Fork State Fish
& Wildlife Area. The Middle Fork River passes out of the Middle Fork Wildlife
Area into Kickapoo State Recreation Area about
10 miles downstream. At Kickapoo you can enjoy family camping, picnicking,
fishing, boating, mountain biking and rent a horse for a short trail ride.
Much of the land which now makes up the Middle
Fork State Fish & Wildlife Area was purchased in the late 1960s and early
1970s, along with lands that now are parts of Kennekuk Cove County Park
and Kickapoo State Park, for a 3,300-acre water supply and recreation
reservoir. In 1977, the State concluded that it could not afford to fund
the reservoir and discussions were initiated to determine alternative public
uses of the land. In 1978, an agreement was reached
between the State and Vermilion County Conservation District to trade
lands in order to achieve contiguous and manageable land holdings. A management
plan was completed the same year, designating the Middle Fork property
as a State Fish & Wildlife Area. Land transfers placing the property
under the management
of the Department of Natural Resources were completed in 1986.
The Middle Fork River
offers the angler opportunities for such species as smallmouth bass, bluegill,
sunfish, crappie, channel catfish, walleye and bullhead. Access to the
river is by footpaths at Kinney's Ford, Higginsville Bridge and Bunker
Large populations of upland game make the
Middle Fork State Fish & Wildlife Area popular with many hunters.
Generally, federal and Illinois game regulations regarding seasons, bag
limits and huntable species apply in all parts of the park. However,
special regulations apply to some species. All hunters must register before
hunting the area. Hunter
Fact Sheet
There are 35 miles of marked scenic equestrian,
cross-country skiing and snowmobiling trails in the Middle Fork State
Fish & Wildlife Area, and 9 miles of designated hiking trails are available
at nearby Kickapoo State Park. All marked trails are accessible from the
parking lot near the office at 2400N, just off Road 900E.
Public parking and canoe access to the Middle
Fork River is provided at two locations. The Kinney's Ford access
is located in the northern section of the facility and may be reached
by driving 0.5 mile west of the 2620N/900E intersection. The Bunker
Hill canoe access may be reached by driving east on the facility's south
access road located at 2250N/900E. The west entrace bridge at Kickapoo
State Park provides a canoe take-out point for these access areas. Camping
is prohibited along the river, except in designated campgrounds.
Small day-use areas are located near the
campgrounds, office and canoe accesses, providing picnic tables and rustic
sanitary facilities. Canoeists, hikers and anglers also may prefer to
picnic along the river or trails. Properly dispose
of all litter. Shelters cannot be reserved, they are available on a first come-first serve basis.
The Middle Fork State Fish
& Wildlife area has Class C, D and equestrian camping facilities. Other
classes of camping also are available at nearby Kickapoo State Park.
state park facilities are readily accessible from the Kickapoo canoe
point at the park's west entrance. Kickapoo is located 5 miles south
of the Middle Fork State Fish & Wildlife Area.
Range and Archery Trail
To help hunters sharpen their
skills and provide compatible recreational opportunities, a trap range
and an archery trail have been constructed.
The trap range is located
along road 2400N near the site office. It consists of two ranges
with a table and bench. Throwers are not provided. Shot size No. 6 or
smaller must be used. The range usually is open year-round.
The archery trail is located 0.25 miles west of intersection 2620N/900E. The trail includes 20
targets constructed in a loop through the woods, a tower for simulated
tree stand shooting and a measured target. The use of broadhead tips is
not allowed. The trail is open year-round.
Both ranges have picnic tables
and rustic sanitary facilities available.
Management Practices
The Middle Fork State Fish
& Wildlife Area has a planned wildlife program which includes a cropland
lease agreement with local farmers. The program also emphasizes forestry
practices compatible with good wildlife management.
and Historic Features
deep glacial till that composes the area accounts for the extensive entrenchment
of the Middle Fork River. The prominent moraine involved is the Newtown
loop of the Bloomington End Moraine. The rather rugged roll and cut of
the land causes fairly quick drainage of the uplands. This, in turn, yields
an upland of oak-hickory climax forest, although this basin is a part
of the Wabash Border Division, which separates the grand prairie on the
west from the beech-maple forest that covers much of the east.
The river is deemed by ecological
research experts as one of the most pristine in the state and has been
designated a National Wild and Scenic River. The lower reach, is
almost entirely sand and gravel bottomed. Not only are there good populations
of game fish such as smallmouth bass, crappie and channel catfish present, the
Vermillion River system also is the only known habitat in Illinois of
the bluebreast darter, an Illinois endangered species.
The Middle Fork State
Fish & Wildlife Area is comprised of
three elements: river flood plain, upland forest and upland fields. Some
flood plains and upland fields are cropped. A well-balanced food chain
exists from field mice and moles tocottontail rabbits, foxes, hawks and
owls. Huntable populations exist of pheasant, quail, rabbit, squirrel, deer and furbearing mammals. Waterfowl, shorebirds, egrets and herons, are common in the bottomlands. The
upland woods are frequented by warblers, vireos, and the most common songbirds.
The elusive southeastern shrew also is found in the area.
Middle Fork River was designated a State and National Scenic River
in 1990, and includes, a 1,000-foot scenic corridor along the river. The scenic river designation begins at the northern boundary of the
Middle Fork State Fish & Wildlife Area and extends through Kennekuk Cove
County Park, Illinois Power Company property and on through Kickapoo State
Park, where it ends at the park's south boundary.
Areas of natural interest for photographers and wildlife watchers include Collison
Creek Marsh, Indian Grass Prairie, Skunk Cabbage Seep and Orchid Hill,
which is partially owned by Illinois Power Company.

CC:DA/TF/Relationship Designators in RDA Appendix K/Annual 2013

Task Force on Relationship Designators in RDA Appendix K Revision Proposal
I just saw a typo in the example in K.3.1: the semicolon should be a colon. --Adam Schiff, 6/10/13 (added by Rolla)
In K.2.1.1. General Person to Person Relationships, you have:
client -- reciprocal: service provider
In K.2.3 Relationship Designators to Relate Persons to Corporate Bodies, and in K.4.1. Relationship Designators to Relate Corporate Bodies to Persons, you have:
client: reciprocal -- client of
Why not "service provider" in this case just like in K.2.1.1?
I see problems with the different sections on "donor":
You have the same definitions for "donor," "patron," "sponsor," and for "donor to," "patron of," and "sponsor of." Since the definitions do not indicate the differences between each relationship designators, it will make it difficult for people to know which term they should use. In K.2.3 Relationship Designators to Relate Persons to Corporate Bodies, the section on donor should be divided like the one in K.4.1 Relationship Designators to Relate Corporate Bodies to Persons. That is, you should add "donor to" in K.2.3 and nest "patron," "sponsor," and "patron of" and "sponsor of" in the proper place.
In K.4.3, Relationship Designators to Relate Corporate Bodies to Corporate Bodies, you have "sponsor" and "sponsor of." Shouldn't you add "donor" and "donor to" and "patron" and "patron of" as in K.2.3 and K.4.1? Could this also be extended to families? Unless you consider only persons (and not corporate bodies and families) to be "donors" or "patrons." In which case, you will need to remove the relationship designators "patron of" and "sponsor of" from K.2.3 Relationship Designators to Relate Persons to Corporate Bodies and "donor," "patron" and "sponsor" from K.4.1 Relationship Designators to Relate Corporate Bodies to Persons.-- Dominique Bourassa, CC:DA, June 14, 2013
Since K.2.3. relates persons to corporate bodies and K.4.1. relates corporate bodies back to persons, the reciprocal relationship to the term in one section is the term given in the other section. There are five donor/patron/sponsor designators in K.2.3. and six in K.4.1. What seems to be missing is the reciprocal relationship to K.4.1. donor "A corporate body that provides donated support to the person," which is supposed to be donor to. That term does not appear in K.2.3.; should it be added as: donor to "A person who receives donated support from the corporate body"? That would of course duplicate the existing definition of patron of, adding to the redundancy that Dominique has noted.
I'm not going to argue with the Task Force's decision that donors and patrons are not needed in K.4.3. to relate corporate bodies to other corporate bodies. The difficulty coming up with precise definitions may indicate that there are too many different terms in this area already. --Robert J. Rendall (talk) 09:47, 14 June 2013 (PDT)

Blizzard hiring console lead designer for Diablo III
Blizzard hiring console lead designer for Diablo III
Blizzard Entertainment may soon renew its on-again, off-again relationship with gaming consoles. The company has posted a new job opening on its official site seeking a "Lead Designer, Console" to work on Diablo III.
http://image.gamespotcdn.net/gamespo...7058_embed.jpgBlizzard wants a Diablo III lead designer with considerable console chops.
According to the listing, Blizzard wants someone who has shipped at least one AAA console game in a senior design role and possesses a "strong sense of what makes a fun and compelling experience for console titles and games in general." Experience with porting multiplatform games is also considered a "plus" for candidates.
Speculation of a console version of Diablo III has been circulating since the game was first announced at BlizzCon 2008. At the time, company representatives only confirmed the title for the PC and Mac, quickly followed by a teasing, "for now." The company has been similarly coy about a release date for the game, bringing up the familiar Blizzard refrain that the game would be launched "when it's ready."
In the 16-bit era, Blizzard was as much a console developer as a PC outfit, delivering titles like The Lost Vikings, Blackthorne, and Justice League: Task Force. After Warcraft: Orcs & Humans became a hit, the studio established a string of successful PC franchises, including Starcraft and Diablo. In 2002, the company announced a return to consoles with Starcraft: Ghost. However, after repeated setbacks and delays, that project was abandoned in 2006.
[UPDATE]: Blizzard has issued a statement explaining the posting to its fans, stating, "We're exploring a Diablo-related concept for consoles and are currently looking to fill a few senior console-related positions on the Diablo III team. As we've said in the past, with proper care the gameplay could suit the console platform, and we're interested in seeing what talent out there might be interested in such a project. If you're passionate about all things Diablo and have the requisite skill and experience, then head over to our jobs site to check out the positions and apply.
"Please note that this is not an announcement of a console title. We are first and foremost developing Diablo III for Windows and Mac PCs and don't intend to allow any possibility of a console interpretation to delay or affect the release of the game."
For more on Diablo III, check out GameSpot's previous coverage.
Thanks for the heads up mate! :D

Late-Model Hemi True Street Challenge - 21st-Century ShootoutWritten by on October 13, 2010 Late-Model Muscle Cars Duke It Out In Pennsylvania
Mohnton, Pennsylvania, is a quiet little town nestled in the hills around Reading, Pennsylvania, and the locals like the peacefulness of the rural setting. Unfortunately, on the weekend of June 4 through 6, that peacefulness was interrupted by the sound of horsepower emitting from Maple Grove Raceway.
It's not really a problem though, as the locals are used to the weekend sounds, and on this particular weekend, the sounds were from the NMCA Shootout. The NMCA has a multitude of racing classes, and if you have a car, they have a class for you. This year, we teamed up with Tremec transmissions and decided to sponsor the Late-Model Hemi True Street Challenge. This challenge is designed for "true" street cars that are licensed, insured, and capable of making a 30-mile cruise. Each racer was then required to run three back-to-back passes to gain an overall-average e.t. Awards were given to the overall fastest Hemi, the runner up, and the closest averages to 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 seconds. The event winner received $250, a six-foot-tall trophy, and a custom Champions jacket. The runner up got $100 and a plaque, as did the average e.t. winners.
Each year at this event, the shopHEMI.com Late-Model HEMI Shootout showcases awesome modern Challengers, 300s, Magnums, Chargers, and trucks on the quarter-mile and in the huge NMCA car show, which is presented by HHP and run by the Mopar Owner and Enthusiasts Club of New Jersey. Twenty eight cars entered the Late-Model True Street Challenge, and the diversity made it a fun experience for all. Whether you enjoy racing or the show field, make plans now to attend next year's event, as it should be bigger than ever.

Before any of the True Street competitors could make a pass down the track, they had to prove that they were street cars by driving the rural, 30-mile route. Late-model Hemi cars can definitely do it all.Dave Coults of Nashua, New Hampshire, brought his Magnum and ran a 13.246, 13.532, and a 13.805. This gave him an average of 13.528.

A 22-year-old Lansing woman was killed and her mother injured Wednesday in what police said was an apparent domestic dispute.
The woman, whose name was not released, died at Lansing's Sparrow Hospital of at least two gunshot wounds, city police Capt. Raymond Hall told the Lansing State Journal for a story Thursday.
He said police are investigating the death as a homicide, which would be the city's seventh this year.

The ABF-YRC legal tangle
December 09, 2010
In case you did not know this, shortly before Thanksgiving, one LTL heavyweight decided to sue, make that counter-sue, another.
The two parties involved here: ABF Freight Systems and YRC Worldwide.
As reported on this Website, ABF signaled its intent to take legal action against the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, various subsidiaries of YRC Worldwide and other entities, following a ratified labor agreement by YRCW Teamsters members.
ABF said the reason for taking legal action is on the grounds that these organizations are violating the National Master Freight Agreement, which serves as the collective bargaining agreement for the majority of U.S.-based trucking employees.
YRCW's agreement, which is the third one its Teamster members have ratified going back to 2008, extends its previous agreement with the Teamsters that was slated to expire in 2013 to March 31, 2015. The agreement is being viewed by several industry experts as core to its survival. Some of the key components of the deal include: resuming pension contributions on June 1, 2011 at a 25 percent contribution rate; revised union work rules, which is comprised of reduced vacation time, a flexible work week, and four-hour work classification; and a renewal of its expiring ABS facility, among others. YRCW expects this deal to save the company $350 million annually during the duration of the agreement.
And a November Dow Jones report stated that YRCW President, Chairman, and CEO Bill Zollars labeled this legal challenge by ABFS as "worthless," adding that YRCW will likely counter-sue ABFS.
Zollars described that lawsuit as "completely without merit," adding that ABF is not a party to YRCW's labor contract and the suit is "in direct contradiction to laws governing labor contracts."
While YRCW may be on the path back to solid footing with this agreement, ABFS President and Chief Executive Officer Wesley Kemp blasted it, noting that the three rounds of concessions granted to YRCW are in violation of the NMFA that has been in effect since April 2008.
"The NMFA applies equally to every company that signed it and quite simply, with these three amendments, it does not do that," Kemp said in a statement. "We need a long-term, industry-wide solution that is fair to all NMFA parties. We have the obligation to our employees, to our customers and to Arkansas Best shareholders to enforce our rights under the NMFA and compete on the same playing field with our industry peers."
But, wait, there is more.
Earlier this month, ABF launched a Web site—abflegalaction.com—dedicated to all things pertaining to these legal issues. Included on the site is an interesting list of facts about its stance on these matters.
Some of the highlights include:
-clarifying that YRCW does not have a separate NMFA contract from ABF, stating that "there is only one National Master Freight Agreement, which all Teamster employees working for NMFA companies ratified in 2008. There is no other agreement.";
-disputing the claim made by the Teamsters National Freight Industry Negotiating Committee that ABF was offered the same deal as YRCW was, with ABF saying it was never offered the same concessions granted to YRCW; and
-"In an effort to avoid filing the lawsuit and grievance, ABF attempted to negotiate industry-wide changes to the NMFA. TNFINC and its representatives responded by pressuring ABF to acquire YRC, indicating that in exchange for committing to an acquisition of YRC, that TNFINC would agree to contract changes which would make such a transaction economically viable. When we communicated our reluctance to pursue such a transaction, TNFINC representatives advised that that IBT would be unwilling to work with us, going forward, after YRC's deal was ratified by its employees."
What's more, ABF stated it is not in any way trying to drive YRCW out of business. It says the company's goal is to simply enforce the NMFA as it was agreed upon and ratified by NMFA Teamsters, as well as to focus on a level playing field for all signatories of the NMFA.
And that leads us to a hearing set for December 16, which should make for one fascinating day in the LTL industry. It is hard to say what happens, but it is highly likely it will be messy and ruffle some feathers on both sides.

Cheer on the Edgewood College Eagles!
Edgewood College sponsors 15 NCAA Division III men's and women's sports.
Students who live on campus are more likely to be involved on campus and graduate in four years. Living on campus means: Being within a 5 minute walk to class; taking more classes and getting better grades; having an instant community of friends!
As an Edgewood College student, I was able to get involved in many different student organizations. Getting involved was key in my success at Edgewood. My most memorable experience however was creating and leading and Alternative Break trip to my home country, Guatemala. Being able to serve with my peers, aligns with our mission of being a community of learners committed to building a just and compassionate world.
My favorite event throughout the year is definitely orientation. As a student, I was an orientation leader for three years in a row and a peer leader for two years. Coming to college is a really exciting time, and it is always so much fun to see the enthusiasm all of the students bring. There are many fun activities and great conversations that happen during those four days.
I really like going to the Farmer's Market on Saturdays. I also really enjoy going to the different ethnic restaurants around the city; there is always a new place to try! Some of my favorites include Taqueria Guadalajara, Sala Thai and Chez Nanou.
I took a year off in between high school and college to study abroad in Poitiers, France for a year through the Rotary Youth Exchange program. It was a great experience to meet other exchange students from around the world and see different countries!
One of the things I enjoy most about being an admissions counselor at Edgewood College is that I get to share all of the amazing experiences I had when I was a student here with prospective students. One particularly impactful experience I had was getting to play on the soccer team. Having the opportunity continue playing the sport I love at a competitive level was incredible. Beyond being an absolute blast and getting to say I was an NCAA athlete, it was a great way to stay in shape, hone in on some invaluable life-skills, and make lifelong friends I still keep in touch with today.
I was a Biology major, so I definitely found a lot of value in my participation at "Edgewood Engaged," an annual research and creative inquiry symposium where students can showcase the research and/or creative projects they've been working on. With the guidance of my professors, I conducted research on two different projects related to medical science in my time as an undergrad, starting the summer before my sophomore year. I was fortunate enough to get to present my work both locally and nationally. This gave me the first-hand experience to connect my learning, beliefs, and actions, offering a perspective that has really helped me in life after college.
Between the many outdoor recreational activities like biking and sailing, a widespread appreciation for music and art, the abundance of amazing cuisine, and the eclectic culture of the city as a whole, I feel like I can always find something to do. My favorite thing to do though would be checking out the live music scene. I'm a big fan of pretty much all kinds of music, and Madison always delivers with some great shows. We frequently have famous musicians perform at one of the many awesome venues downtown, and there's actually some great local talent to check out at a coffee shop or the Capitol Square as well.
I never thought I would say this growing up, but I love to travel. I think this change of heart all stemmed from my experience studying abroad at Edgewood, where I was lucky enough to spend about two weeks in Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands. It was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I don't think would have been possible without the careful and ambitious planning of my professors, who accompanied me and my classmates on the trip. During this trip we snorkeled with penguins, sea turtles, and tropical fish on a daily basis, hiked through rainforests and up a dormant volcano, and had plenty of time to explore Quito, Ecuador's capital city. Ever since that trip to the Galapagos, I've really caught the travel bug. In the past couple of years, I've traveled to London, Paris, New York City, Yellowstone, and New Orleans, and I have plans to make trips to Boston, California, and China in the near future.
My most memorable experience at Edgewood was my orientation. I was a little nervous to be going off to college, but once I got on campus the nervousness melted away. I liked how there were fun activities going on constantly, and you were always meeting new people (new students, returning students, faculty, staff, etc.).
My favorite event to be a part of for our incoming students is Admitted Student Day. On Admitted Student Day, prospective students get to attend classes and special sessions as an Edgewood College student. This is my favorite event because I love to see how excited everyone is to try out the classes first hand. I think all of the buildings on campus are great, but my all-time favorite place on campus is actually our boardwalk, which goes out onto Lake Wingra. It is a great, relaxing and scenic view that you access right on the campus.
The great thing about being in Madison is that there is always something going on. I like going to the Farmers Market, trying out new restaurants, going to a show at the Overture Center, or just taking walks through the zoo or one of the gorgeous gardens we have in the city.
In my spare time I like playing volleyball, kayaking, traveling, reading or baking.

Jeff Voris is in his tenth season as Butler's head coach after being named the 24th head coach in program history in December, 2005. Voris has built the program into a strong contender as the Bulldogs have at least shared a portion of the Pioneer Football League title in three of the last six seasons.
Voris, who stands third on Butler's all-time list for coaching victories (54), is no stranger to success. He owns Butler's single-season record for victories, and he's the only coach in school history to lead the Bulldogs to a postseason victory!
In 2013, he guided the Bulldogs to a 9-4 record, a share of the Pioneer Football League crown and Butler's first ever appearance in the NCAA Division I Football Championship in 2013. It was Butler's fourth title as a Division I football program. Appropriately, Voris was named the PFL Coach of the Year.
The 2009 campaign is widely-regarded as the most successful football season in school history! Voris, who improved the Bulldogs' win total in each of his first four seasons, took the 2009 Butler team, picked fifth in the Pioneer Football League preseason poll, and guided it to an 11-1 campaign, a tie for the PFL championship and Butler's first postseason victory. The 11 wins set a Butler single-season record and tied the PFL single season mark, and the league title was Butler's first since 1994. Butler also tied the existing PFL record for league wins (7), while setting a record for home wins (7) and completing an unbeaten Butler Bowl slate. The Bulldogs picked up the post-season win with a 28-23 victory over Central Connecticut State in the 2009 Gridiron Classic, a postseason game matching the champions of the PFL and the Northeast Conference. Voris guided the Bulldogs to nine straight wins to start the season, matching the Butler record for consecutive victories and making the 2009 Bulldogs just the third football squad in school history to own a 9-0 record. Included in that opening stretch was a 23-14 victory over Valparaiso in the annual Hoosier Helmet Trophy game.
The historic 2009 Butler campaign came one year after Voris guided the Bulldogs to a 6-5 record, the program's first winning season in more than a decade! The six wins were Butler's most since 1997 and the second-most since the Bulldogs moved to Division I in 1993. And Butler's four league wins tied the Bulldogs' highest PFL win total to that point! The successful campaign came just one year after Voris guided Butler to a 4-7 mark in just his second season at the helm. The four victories were the most by a Butler football team since 2002 and marked another step forward for the program. In 2006, his first season as Butler's head coach, Voris guided the Bulldogs to a 3-8 mark and a tie for fifth place in the PFL. His first victory at Butler snapped an 18-game losing streak by the Bulldogs, and the team's three total wins matched Butler's victory total for the previous three seasons combined.
Voris previously served as head coach at Carroll (Wis.) College for five seasons, following assistant coaching stints at Edinboro, DePauw, Texas and Illinois.
Voris spent five seasons rebuilding the football program at Carroll. His first team in 2001 had just 51 players. In 2005, with the squad size up to 111 players, he guided the Pioneers to a 6-4 record and a third place finish in the Midwest Conference. It was Carroll's first winning season since 1996, and the Pioneers' six league wins tied the school record for most MWC wins.
During his five campaigns at Carroll, Voris coached one second team All-American, one honorable mention All-American, 11 first team all-conference players and 30 academic all-conference performers. He coached an all-conference quarterback in four of his five seasons. Carroll teams broke 10 school records for offense and special teams during his tenure, and his 2005 squad ranked fourth in the NCAA Division III in punt return average.
Voris took the Carroll head coaching position after spending one season on the staff of head coach Lou Tepper at Edinboro. He previously served under head coach Nick Mourouzis at DePauw. During his four seasons as offensive coordinator at DePauw, the Tigers compiled a 29-11 record, won one conference championship and posted four consecutive wins over Wabash in the Monon Bell Classic. He coached an all-conference quarterback in 1996 and 1997, and DePauw ranked eighth in the NCAA Division III in passing offense in 1996. DePauw also ranked first in Division III in turnover margin in 1996 and eighth in turnover margin in 1998. He was the head junior varsity coach at DePauw in 1994-95, and he served as strength and conditioning coach for the Tigers in all six seasons.
Voris began his collegiate coaching career in 1990 as a graduate assistant at Illinois. During his two seasons with the Illini, he assisted with defensive backs and outside linebackers. He later spent two seasons at Texas, where he worked with wide receivers and the offensive line.
The Butler coach was a four-year starting quarterback at DePauw, 1986-89. He was a three-time team Most Valuable Player and a team captain in 1989. He earned honorable mention All-America recognition in 1988 and 1989, and he still holds DePauw career football records for most passing yards (6,035), most touchdown passes (56), most pass completions (504), most pass attempts (910) and total offense (5,754). He set single-game records with 38 completions against Findlay in 1987 and five touchdown passes against Taylor in 1988, and he's the only player in DePauw football history to lead the Tigers in passing for four consecutive seasons! He was inducted into the DePauw Athletic Hall of Fame in 2009.
Voris earned a bachelor's degree in health, physical education and recreation from DePauw in 1989 and a master's degree in athletic administration from Illinois in 1991. He and his wife, Julie, are parents of three children, Jenna, Josie and Jessy.
Career Record: 69-83 (14 seasons)
Butler Record: 54-48 (9 seasons)

Greg Pursley finishes 4th in Saturday night's NASCAR K&N Pro Series-West race at Colorado National Speedway in Dacono, CO.
After crossing under the checkers 10th at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Sunday, Ryan Newman has scored four top-10s in his last eight races of the season. He started the Coca-Cola 600 14th.
Joey Logano was caught speeding during a green flag pit stop sequence near lap 250 of the 400-lap distance of the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. He lost a lap, got back in touch with the leaders by pitting off sequence, and salvaged a ninth-place finish.
Rookie of the Year Chase Elliott overcame a pit road speeding penalty in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway in route to an eighth-place finish. He was the top performing freshman for the 10th time this season and for the seventh straight race.
Matt Kenseth advanced 20 positions from his starting position in the Coca-Cola 600 to finish seventh at Charlotte Motor Speedway Sunday night.
Kurt Busch finished sixth in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway to extend his top-10 streak on similarly-configured, 1.5-mile tracks to 12 consecutive races.
Brad Keselowski earned his first top-five in his last five Charlotte Motor Speedway attempts when he crossed under the checkers of the Coca-Cola 600 fifth.
Denny Hamlin finished the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway in the fourth-position after starting the day on the outside of the second row—in fourth.
"I kind of felt like he was playing with us," Jimmie Johnson said of Martin Truex Jr. in post-race coverage after finishing the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway in third. Johnson did not sound terribly upset, however, because this stopped a three-race skid of finishes outside the top 15 on the track.
Kevin Harvick had a top-10 car before night fell, but once the sun went down he really picked up the pace. Harvick drove past Jimmie Johnson in the final green flag run and thought he would catch Martin Truex Jr. He finished 2.573 seconds behind the winner, however, in second.
It has been quite some time since NASCAR has seen domination like the series witnessed in Sunday's Coca-Cola 600. He led at the 100-, 200-, 300-, 400-, 500-, and 600-mile mark. Truex led 392 laps and posted 106 fastest laps to make him the driver no fantasy player could win without.
After finishing second at New Jersey Motorsports Park in 2009, Parker Kligerman can finally check this track off of his list.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - Facebook's new search engine is all a-buzz in the social stratosphere as they attempt to take on Google. CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced "Graph Search" Tuesday at a press event at its Menlo Park headquarters.
According to Wired.com, Zuckerberg described Graph Search's abilities as being able to "handle more precise queries than a general web search, like 'who are my friends who live in San Francisco.'" Additionally, Graph Search is said to be "privacy aware."
A writer for CNet.com, Jennifer Grove, wrote that the tool is meant to provide people the answers to their questions about people, photos, places, and interests.
Apparently Facebook sent out media invitations, much like Apple is known to do, that read "Come and see what we're building." Grove said many speculated that Facebook would be unveiling a Facebook-branded phone, rather than a search engine.
Forbes writer, Kashmir Hill, live-blogged the event. She quoted Zuckerberg in saying, "Graph Search is not a web search. It's about graphing our part of the web."
Do you have questions about Graph Search? Post them in a comment below!

Grilling Facts and Figures
Who barbecues?
Practically everyone! A 2013 study conducted by the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association (HPBA) shows that 80 percent of all U.S. households own a grill or smoker. And, 97 percent of grill owners actually used their grill in the past year. About 14 million new grills were shipped in 2013 alone.
When do we barbecue?
The most popular grilling occasions are Fourth of July, Memorial Day and Labor Day, but an increasing number of grillers report using their grills year-round (60 percent)!
Where do we barbecue?
Literally, everywhere across the country including backyards, vacation homes, campsites, public parks, and while tailgating at football games and NASCAR races. Forty-one percent of grill owners in 2013 tailgated in the past two years. The increasing popularity of outdoor heaters and chimneys makes it comfortable and convenient to cook out in nearly any climate at any time.
Why do we barbecue?
According to HPBA's biennial survey of consumer grilling preferences, the top reasons are:
- because it tastes so good.
- because it's personally satisfying to grill outdoors.
- because it's convenient and easier than cooking inside.
- because it's a great way to entertain spend more time at home.
What do grills typically cost?
Charcoal grills usually set for as little as $20 and go as high as $500 or more for deluxe models.
Gas grills are generally priced from just over $100 to $299. (Eighty percent of all grills sold are priced under $300.) Top-of-the-line stainless steel models with lots of features can go as high as $5,000 to $10,000.
Electric grills begin at around $50 for small units (ideal for couples) and go as high as $2,000 or more for larger, high-end stainless steel models.
Smokers are gaining popularity. Water smokers are a good choice for beginners because they're affordable and easy to use. Charcoal is the favorite, but electric and gas are very convenient because they maintain a consistent temperature. Horizontal offset wood smokers are an alternative to water smokers. Water smokers start at about $40 and can go as high as $200 or more for a stainless steel version. Horizontal offset smokers run from about $100 to several hundred depending on size and material.
Pellet grills, which use wood pellets, are also gaining in popularity. Prices generally range from $600-$2,500.

This is positively luminous, Wayne (makes me hungry, too...)!!
Brilliant & promoted ;~} Valz ♥
Just fabulous
It really says so much! Amazing! :D
What can I say that hasn't already been said? Love it. ARE people making money here at all on S6???? I was already thinking of making a piece "Boobs Sell" -- cause I know they do! (And cuteness, and owls, and mustaches...;-{ ) Well, if you go, thanks for your support!
PS- I'd really like to post this to my Tumblr blog. At least some of my followers will really appreciate this. I always give artistic credit / link to original. Let me know if this is OK.
Thank you so very much for your generous support, Mo, Julia, Birgit, PSS, Kristopher, Patricia, Valerie, Irina, and Michael!!! ;-)
@k_c_s, ... and I've got just a little unsolicited advise for you, my friend, if you're looking to make money, art is the wrong business. If you wanna make art, "what sells" shouldn't be your first consideration. What I'm attempting to do with these works is to comment on that paradox, within the genre of visual art that has been popularized by artists like Jeff Koons and Damien Hirst. I know that it is over the heads of most of S6's customers, but I personally gotta make art that I can be proud to have my name associated with, regardless of whether it is understood and appreciated by most of the general public. Just saying... ;-)
Of course all of this stuff begs the old question of 'art' vs. 'craft' -- but in this case, 'art' vs. 'design/graphics/commercialism.' I certainly don't believe that 'art' and 'craft' are necessarily distinct; the same could be said for 'art' and commercially 'available' design. Something can be 'sellable' and read well for the popular aesthetics and still be art. I admire the work of a lot of people who are making 'pretty' designs. (I, too, am tired of some of the same, same, same design elements etc that show up again and again.) That being said, I appreciate the distinction you are making. You make art to make art. To express, to push boundaries, engage in (or at least start) conversations. And if you set out to make money making art, that already at least puts a chink in the process, and can certainly influence your outcome. Most of what I do is really more on the 'design' (i.e. surface design) end of things. And I do find that some of the stuff I've tried to make to respond to a commercial draw...I really don't like as much. I mostly put the stuff that I don't use for surface design on S6. So I don't expect to necessarily make money on these pieces. But of course I'd love to. :-) I get what you're saying, and I thank you.
Thank you, k_c_s! Reading your comment brought a smile to my heart that has grown calloused in recent months. Sometimes I feel very alone in my need to create art that challenges the status quo and provokes some kind of second level of thought. Obviously, S6 is not the appropriate venue for me, which in some kind of perverse way has been pushing me even harder to make it work... and like you, when I've compromised in the past, for the sake of creating something that I think might be popular, I've always been disappointed with both myself and the work. I wish us both luck at finding the sweet spot that satisfies each of our respective heads, hearts and financial responsibilities! ;-) Get down!
Great work!
love the message here. :)
Love this!
Brilliant work of art!!
this series is alot like where's waldo you never know what your'll see next :P

Wow...great work here. You have an amazing talent. I love your stuff.
Fantastic work!
Great one!
Really cool style and work. Love the textures, patterns, layering, and colors!
Thank you, Everyone! ;-)
Fantastic Work
Thank you much! ;-)
super interesting works you have here, i wonder what your inspirations are :)
great work ! love it !
Love your unique style!!!!
Wayne, if you're not already selling these in galleries for thousands I hope you eventually will! Your art is great! Gallery curators are shmucks, though... forgive me if you're fond of any... I'm just a bit jaded since I've never had any legit representation. ;)
BIG TIME Thanks, Erica, Matthiew, Belle and Morgan!
@Morgan: Keep looking for a rep... There are shmucks in every industry, but it shouldn't keep you from finding the good ones. I've been very fortunate to have had both personal and business relationships with 2 outstanding art dealers and have many friendships with museum curators. Perhaps it's my perspective or location, but for the most part, curators, dealers, and art consultants have always been open, honest, generous and very helpful for me.
Now this is cool.
Thank you, Hannah!
These 'NO Series' are great! There's always something new to look at and see. Things you didn't notice the first time. :)
Thanks so very much, Jerel! You do my heart good!
Un'altra grande composizione!!
The orange arty burger,beautiful...Love both new and older work of you.
es gibt so viel auf dem Bild zu entdecken, aber der Burger sticht einem direkt ins Auge :-) und nun habe ich Hunger.
this is incredible!!
Amazing work!
I like Jesus, owls, "pushed up" bras, and drive thru burgers; that said, I found your conversations within this comment section to be quite illuminating, and you should think about putting some of your thoughts into the description section, as that's probably what most people read. I think all art has meaning to someone. People buy what they like. That doesn't make what they like to buy less relevant as art.
Excellent art work, sunny and uplifting energy, Wayne! Congrats from Christiane
Awesome piece Wayne!

Commanding the waves to recede
Will the Obama housing plan become a classic case of false compassion that leads to more bureaucracy and more despair?
FORT MYERS, Fla.-The Fort Myers metropolitan area, lapped by the waves of the Gulf of Mexico, is neck and neck with desert-clime Las Vegas in a race to become the abandoned home capital of America. Almost one out of every eight households in those two areas received foreclosure notes in 2009. When President Obama in his State of the Union address on the evening of Jan. 27 pledged to "step up refinancing so that homeowners can move into more affordable mortgages," people here listened.
Earlier that day, though, the complexities of coming through on that pledge were becoming apparent. The Harborside Event Center here filled up with 1,000 mortgage-troubled homeowners who came for a HUD-sponsored workshop on "making home affordable." Counselors from the Home Ownership Resource Center, a Fort Myers nonprofit that offered individualized help to 711 homeowners last year, spent the day prepping 78 distressed residents on how to talk to lenders. They saw that some may get help, but reported that others have homes far, far "underwater"-worth far less than they paid for them-and "they're extremely angry."
Five days later Eddie Felton, the Center's executive director, showed me around the two hardest-hit areas of the Ft. Myers metropolitan area, Lehigh Acres on the east and Cape Coral on the west: "That house is empty . . . that house is empty . . . that house was robbed . . . someone set that house on fire." Felton, a 26-year Navy veteran who started offering counseling about housing two years ago, said people are calling and saying "Obama promised" this or that: "But he can't come through without wrecking the whole system. Seems to me, if you can't produce, don't give people false hopes."
We drove by blocks with abandoned homes purchased several years ago for $250,000-$300,000, three times what they sell for now, if they sell at all. Those homes are magnets for criminals who steal refrigerators, ovens, air conditioning systems, and copper pipes. Residents who keep up their payments see the value of their homes decline further as their neighborhoods become depopulated. Felton said, "I think Obama's sincere, but I wish his people would come out from behind their desks, see what's going on, and listen to people who know something besides theories."
We drove through sections that are ghost towns for human beings but not for weeds, which in this climate grow quickly and in a year can make a suburb look desolate. Felton noted, "The president gets up on TV and says his program will help people stay in their homes. It won't. It's up to the lending institutions. People who want to refinance need some equity, but most of the people in need have no equity in their homes. Should the banks just hand out money?" The New York Times on Feb. 2 reported that it would cost $745 billion to bring underwater homeowners to a break-even point.
The suburbs have been hit hard, but many purchasers of prime spots are also in trouble. Felton pointed out one high-rise condo on the Caloosahatchee River near downtown Fort Myers: Five units occupied, and the other 95 of them might as well have "welcome, thieves" doormats. He says more people are just walking away from their investments, breaking their contract and ruining their credit rating but saving money that they can then use for rent. "That's tough, but it wouldn't help for the federal government to force the lenders to write off every debt. The banks would be bankrupt. Besides, you'd have a lot of people taking advantage. Next time there'd be even more recklessness."
We peered into one gated community where most houses have five bedrooms, four baths, and no people. Felton is not a fan of one-size-fits-all approaches where Washington dictates-in the latest formulation-that people should not pay more than 31 percent of their income for housing: "Here, we do face-to-face. Everyone's unique. . . . We tell homeowners to bring their financial statements-check stubs, W-2s for the last two years, everything, and work out with them ways to cut expenses. We find out what's feasible for them to pay each month, and then they request forbearance from the lenders' loss mitigation departments."
We stopped in front of a Bank of America branch (see sidebar below) where Felton said he tries to "establish a trust factor with lending institutions. We're the third party: We work both sides of the street and try to help both sides arrive at a solution that helps both." He doesn't demonize lending institutions: "They don't want to foreclose homes or hold onto a bunch of them. They know it's better to have someone living in a house than to have it abandoned. . . . They're overwhelmed. Everyone's overwhelmed. In Fort Myers 26,000 people in some form of foreclosure are waiting to see the judges-they're overwhelmed too. . . . Obama? He's trying to do the right thing, but he needs guidance."
Later, I looked around one area, the Brookshire development in south Fort Myers, that hasn't been hit as hard as others. A resident there, Duane Clairmore, 72, does not fit the stereotype of "deadbeat" homeowners who put almost nothing down, lied about their income, and received loans (and lived in homes) much larger than they could afford. Clairmore, a retired Western Union manager from Wisconsin, was married for 36 years. His wife died six years ago. A year later he used much of his life's savings for a $75,000 down payment on a $200,000, two-bedroom (1,114 square feet) stucco and cement Brookshire home. Asphalt roof. Attached garage. Well-maintained. Nothing fancy.
In short, Clairmore wasn't reckless or extravagant. He did things right-except that he bought at the wrong time and signed onto an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) that he says he did not fully understand. Clairmore's immediate financial problem is that he has $2,000 of income per month and pays $830 for his mortgage-but he fears a May reset in the adjustable rate that he says would increase his monthly payment by $200 or so. That's beyond what he says he can afford. He'd prefer to sell his home, but it is now appraised for only $121,000. The average Brookshire sale price is $94 per square foot, according to Zillow.com, so by that measure the house may be worth only $104,000.
At this point Clairmore's $75,000 down payment is completely lost, and he owes more than the house is worth. He says he can't afford to stay, but he hasn't been able to sell his home at a price that would pay off the mortgage. He is underwater, but because of his large down payment he's better off than many others: Industry experts predict that by June one of every 10 American homeowners will be in a property worth less than 75 percent of its outstanding mortgage. Some can hang on and hope values will bounce back, but those who lose their jobs or have health problems, etc., have little choice. The number of homes lost through foreclosure and related means was 1.7 million in 2008 and 2 million last year, according to economy.com-with 2.4 million expected this year.
The result for Americans is an ethical, political, and financial problem. Should the federal government rescue Duane Clairmore, whose house lost half its value? What about others whose homes have lost two-thirds? Does Clairmore's 37.5 percent down payment make him more worthy of aid than those who put 0 percent or 3 percent down? Does his signing onto an ARM make him less worthy? If he is bailed out, does that create for other homeowners a "moral hazard," an enticement to make bad deals with the expectation that Washington will offer a new deal?
The Obama administration, siding with the mice while trying not to scare the elephants, keeps fine-tuning its requirements for lenders. Since last April the administration has released new requirements nine times and made 90 clarifications, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA). On Jan. 27, as Fort Myers residents were lining up for help, the MBA pleaded with the administration to refrain from "endless incremental program changes," since every change "forced mortgage companies to implement new procedures and retrain employees, taking away time that could be spent helping borrowers."
That may be blather, but last month Valparaiso law professor Alan White published research showing that the Obama administration's housing program is producing 33,000 permanent mortgage modifications per month, but "a year ago, the industry was voluntarily and permanently modifying more than 100,000 mortgages per month." White wants the administration to get tougher on lenders, but at this point the Obama program merely seems to have entangled banks and other groups with new yards of red tape. And a larger question looms: Does imposing standardized regulations, instead of allowing variations according to local needs and borrower credit ratings, make things worse rather than better?
Economist Thomas Sowell has described four stages in Washington aggrandizement: Crisis, big government action, failure of government action, bigger government action. In January and early February left-of-center trumpeters were at stage three and demanding stage four, heatedly criticizing the Obama administration for not putting more pressure on lending institutions. ProPublica attacked Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, CitiMortgage, and Wells Fargo. The Center for Independent Media reported that "a year ago hopes were high that a big push by the government to stop foreclosures would be a great success"-but those hopes have now been dashed. Public Citizen's Consumer Justice Project posted headlines such as "Banks Holding Out" and proposed new government programs to force them into writing down mortgage amounts and monthly payments.
So as we head toward spring, the United States is at an inflection point regarding housing policy, as it has been regarding health care. So far, lenders are not being pushed to issue new mortgages for amounts hugely more than the value of a house-but that would change if Sowell's stage four came marching in. MSNBC opined that "saving a home from foreclosure can be as simple as rewriting a costly, high-rate subprime loan to prevailing mortgage market rates. . . . If that doesn't work, lenders can cut the amount of principal owed." Famous last words: "as simple as."
There's nothing simple here. The Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, releasing on Feb. 2 his quarterly report to Congress, expressed concern about a "heads, I win; tails, the Government will bail me out" mentality affecting both homeowners and companies. Without bailouts, will we see more ghost towns?
But what about the experience of WORLD readers like Cheryl, who wrote on worldmag.com, "I myself bought very, very sensibly and I'm still struggling a bit-I don't have surplus funds to bail out others who were less careful with my taxes, lest I lose my own house."
Economics analyst Megan McCardle, concerned with the moral hazard that bailouts create, has a sensible suggestion: "We might start by trying to make it easier to get out of houses, as well as stay in them. Instead of encouraging people to throw their savings into hopeless modifications, maybe the government should be trying to streamline the process of arranging for a short sale so that people can walk away with a little savings in the bank (and on their credit report) to help them get a fresh start." In a real estate short sale, the proceeds fall short of the balance owned on the mortgage loan, but the lender agrees to take a moderate loss rather than go through the slower and more costly foreclosure process. One owner gets out of the house and someone else moves in at a price that person can afford.
The Obama administration, despite campaign rhetoric about "change," is trying to slow down the process of change that is central to free societies and free markets. Many realms now relish stasis. Tenure slows down the process of academic change. Unions slow down change. Compassionate liberalism is about holding on to what we have, and trying, like King Canute, to command the waves to advance no further. Compassionate conservatism, properly understood, is about propelling change. Rather than hanging on to a spot on the sidewalk, build a new life. Rather than hanging on to a single-family home that can't be paid for, rent an apartment. That can be hard, but for generations social mobility has defined an American spirit that creates overreaching (read The Great Gatsby) but also overachieving.
Early this month on Bonita Beach, just south of Fort Myers, two surfers in wetsuits kept falling off their boards and getting back on, fighting the waves but loving them. Nearly a century ago F. Scott Fitzgerald approached the ending of his terrific novel by writing that "Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us." That's the mentality of the housing bubble. But Fitzgerald concluded, "tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. . . . And then one fine morning-So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past." Or into the future.
'The whole process is confusing'
Community group claims a disorganized Bank of America is dragging its feet on loan modifications
By Alisa Harris
After Ken Kelly saw the value of his California home decline from $600,000 to $350,000, he asked Bank of America (BoA) to renegotiate his loan through the federal Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP). After bouncing from representative to representative, he sent his paperwork in November, only to be told there was a technical glitch and that he should delay his payments. He says that when he finally received new paperwork, his loan payment had gone up $400 a month to penalize him for the missed payments the bank told him not to pay, and would later increase even more. The new agreement was not a HAMP modification.
"The whole process is confusing," Kelly said. "A lot of the times you don't understand what they're giving you." People Improving Communities through Organizing (PICO), a national network of faith-based community organizations with allies like Sojourners and the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), is organizing a national campaign against BoA, accusing it of delaying loan modifications and violating its agreement with the Treasury Department by offering its own modifications instead of using HAMP.
By November 2009, BoA had issued only 98 permanent HAMP modifications although the Treasury Department estimates that 1 million of the 14 million BoA-connected homeowners qualify. PICO affiliates say this number of permanent modifications is dismally low and that BoA is so disorganized that some homeowners have received a loan modification offer on the same day they receive a foreclosure notice. BoA spokesperson Jumana Bauwens said BoA has over 9,000 permanent modifications pending; once it clears the backlog, it promises homeowners will wait only three months for a permanent modification instead of five or six.
While BoA has a low number of completed HAMP loan modifications, it has completed almost 260,000 non-HAMP loan modifications. PICO accuses BoA of breaking its Servicer agreement with the Treasury Department and offering its own loan modifications to homeowners who qualify for HAMP. PICO says some of these modifications are devastating, interest-only modifications where the payment may suddenly double in five years.
Bauwens says BoA only offers its own loan modification if the homeowner doesn't qualify for the HAMP. The offer depends on individual circumstances-a person's debt or employment-and may reduce the rate or lengthen the terms of the loan. Although the foreclosure process may continue while someone is seeking a permanent loan modification, BoA won't sell the house. If someone drops out of HAMP or doesn't qualify, she said, "We're not going to take these people and throw them into foreclosure."

You know how celebrities love to spill their beauty secrets, even when they have no idea what they're talking about? Scarlett Johansson is the latest famous to engage in this particular kind of PR, telling Style.com that one of her favorite things to do for her skin is an all-natural honey facial.
"I use Manuka honey," she said. "You just warm your face so that your pores are open (you can steam your face right after getting out of the shower), and then you just take a spoon and apply the honey directly to your face and leave it for 10 to 15 minutes. It really adds an amazing glow and your skin is so soft afterwards. It pulls out the impurities."
Well – if it's good enough for Scarlett, it's good enough for me.

Lineups: Bannister, Moose Win Big
Last night's 3-2, 11th-inning win over Seattle marked our first extra-inning win at Kauffman Stadium since Aug. 24, 2005. Meche and the Royals bullpen (Greinke, Soria and Dotel, mainly) combined to toss a beautiful game from the mound. And, hopefully, De La Rosa can follow suit tonight and get things rolling again for the Royals. DLR (5-9, 5.38 ERA) faces Seattle's Ryan Feierabend (1-2, 6.46 ERA), an up-from-the-minors-down-to-the-minors pitcher for the Mariners who has just a handful of big league starts under his belt.
Before getting to the lineups, some congrats need to go out to a couple of guys…first, Royals starter Brian Bannister, who captured A.L. Rookie of the Month honors for the month of June. The award is more than deserving since Bannister posted a 5-1 mark with a 2.75 ERA in six starts during the month. He struck out 27 batters in just 39.1 innings pitched and won four straight decisions from June 1-17. It's his first Rookie of the Month honor and the first time a Royals rookie has nabbed the award since Berroa in 2003.
Next, we need to mention that Mike "Big Moose" Moustakas, our first round selection in June's First-Year Player Draft, has been named the High School Player of the Year by Baseball America. Check out the story here. According to the press release, Moose, the two-time L.A. City Section Player of the Year, becomes just the second player from California to win the honor and joins Major Leaguers Trot Nixon (Indians), Joe Mauer (Twins) and Scott Kazmir (D-Rays) as winners of the award. Seems like all that is left for him to do is sign with us…right? Here are today's lineups.
For the Royals:
DeJesus – CF
German – 2B
Teahen – RF
Brown – LF
Gordon – 3B
Butler – DH

I tried the second method today but when I click next after select "Zimbra Collaboration Server" I receive the following dialog box "The information service is not installed on your computer" with OK.
A bit of research leads me to Add/Remove Programs to change the features. However unlike Office 2003, 2007, and 2010 MS has decided that the only two options for the installer are Uninstall and Repair (Quick or Online). I can find no way to modify the feature set of Outlook 2013.
Is there a newer connector we should try? Any suggestions?

Cooperation in the Sixaola River Binational Watershed as Practical Example for Students of the University for Peace (UPEACE)
02 December 2013 | News story
Students of the Water Security and Peace course learn from efforts by IUCN and local stakeholders toward water governance in the Sixaola River Binational Watershed.
October 31st, 2013. Watershed dynamics offer a practical example of the relation between water governance, water security and peace, but the real challenge is to take knowledge found in textbooks and apply it to the differing visions and situations in watersheds, especially when they are transboundary.
The field trip organized by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as part of a course on Water Security and Peace enabled students to see and learn firsthand about the people, communities and activities involved in water governance processes.
The experience took place in the Costa Rica-Panama binational Sixaola river basin that spans some 2,890 km2 and harbors a wide diversity of flora, fauna and culture providing livelihoods for its inhabitants. An hour-long boat ride upstream brought students to Yorkín, an indigenous Bribri village in Talamanca, on the Costa Rican side. This is a community particularly close to nature, and special as well because the Bribri are one people socio-culturally, but separated by an administrative discontinuity: the border between the two countries.
Hosting the students were members of Stibrawpa, a group of women artisans and community leaders. On the first day they talked about the origin of the organization, their traditions, their relation with natural resources and water and their world view. During the guided visit the following day, they shared experiences in reforestation, forest nurseries and cacao-cloning gardens developed together with IUCN.
Because of the interdependence between inhabitants and natural resources throughout the watershed, multiple stakeholders have generated spaces of coordination for sustainable management. One example is the Sixaola River Binational Watershed Commission, comprised of over 28 organizations with representatives of civil society and indigenous governments.
At lunch, students were also able to dialogue with the Sixaola watershed champions, local leaders committed to water governance who have been closely involved with restructuring of the Sixaola River Binational Watershed Commission. They explained the commission's importance as coordination body and described how indigenous governments and civil society have voice and vote in the commission through the representatives of producer/business groups and development associations.
The last part of the trip included a stopover in the lower basin where the landscape is dominated by plantain and banana plantations, an area highly vulnerable to flooding. There they were received by Don Carlos, a small producer who is implementing diversification and reforestation on his farm for better adaptation to escalating climate variability in the zone.
This visit to the field gave students a glimpse of the socio-cultural and economic situation in the Sixaola binational river basin and the complexity of local, national and transboundary water governance. It calls for a vision encompassing the entire watershed, and comprehension of the importance of broad and effective participation by civil society in decision-making processes.
