I typically wear a size 0 or 00 in dresses & pants & Xs or small in shirts. Which size lava core scuba suit would you recommend me ordering.
Is this suit 1/2mm?
Wetsuits made from neoprene are rated in MM. Suits in ounces or called bilaminate or trilaminate are made from fabric and are typically rated by the weight of the fabric in ounces. This suit is a fabric suit and has the warmth equivalent of a 2mm neoprene suit.
i am primarily looking for a thin suit for long snorkeling outings, 2-3 hours in the water, off baja and the sea of cortez. this suit says it maintains neutral buoyancy so would i need weight to help me freedive to thirty feet?
do you have a lavacore fleece lined skin with a front zipper?
yes here is the link: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-44/110953/LavaCore-by-Oceanic-Trilaminate-Polytherm-Womens-Front-Zip-Jumpsuit.html
I want to order this jumpsuit, but your sizes do not match the ones on your web site I need XS 4/5. and on the one it says XS is a 5/7. so which do I order.

The organization man
Law | John Roberts is a product of esteemed institutions, and his attachment to the 'institution' of the Supreme Court may explain his controversial healthcare ruling
"The organization man" Continued...
WASHINGTON-In the summer of 2005, when the Senate was considering John Roberts' nomination to the Supreme Court, the Democrats were mainly the ones concerned about his lack of judicial record. Roberts had spent his career lawyering for Republican administrations and at private firms, but his judicial philosophy was a big gray blob.
"We need to know what kind of Supreme Court justice John Roberts would be," insisted Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., then the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Roberts, in his confirmation hearings, was vague and safe, like most Supreme Court nominees are now post-Robert Bork. He famously compared his job to an umpire calling balls and strikes.
But even then there were clues about the philosophy of the chief justice who would become the key vote upholding President Obama's healthcare law this year. People who knew Roberts throughout his life-at Harvard, in the Washington legal world-noticed his respect for "institutions," and most especially for the court as an institution. Today many of the legal minds parsing Roberts' healthcare decision think he sided with the liberal justices to bolster the court's institutional reputation as minimalist rather than activist.
"By temperament, he's not a flame-thrower, not somebody you'd expect to willingly or readily overrule a precedent," Paul Mogin, a roommate of Roberts at Harvard Law School for two years, told The New York Times in 2005. "He's somebody who has respect for institutions. I think institutions have been important to him in his life, like Harvard, the Catholic Church and the Supreme Court. He's not likely to be anybody to do anything too radical." And Bill Kayatta, who worked on the Harvard Law Review with Roberts, told the Times, "He had a sort of thoughtful respect for institutions, history, precedent, a willingness to consider change but not revolutionary."
John Yoo, a conservative lawyer at the University of California's Berkeley School of Law, was more blunt to The Washington Post at the same time: "He's the type of person that business conservatives and judicial-restraint conservatives will like but the social conservatives may not like ... he represents the Washington establishment. These Washington establishment people are not revolutionaries, and they're not out to shake up constitutional law. They might make course corrections, but they're not trying to sail the boat to a different port."
Upon his nomination to the court in 2005, Roberts noted his "profound appreciation for the role of the court in our constitutional democracy and a deep regard for the court as an institution."
Roberts is the product of what some deem elite institutions. He grew up in Indiana along Lake Michigan, the son of a Bethlehem Steel executive. He attended private Catholic schools, excelled at Latin, and captained his football team in high school. At his all-boy boarding school, he played Peppermint Patty in a production of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. He attended Harvard, graduated summa cum laude, and went on to Harvard Law where he helmed the Harvard Law Review.
Out of law school, Roberts quickly leapt to legal prominence, clerking for a circuit court judge and then for Chief Justice William Rehnquist. He was counsel in the upper echelons of the Reagan administration, then left for a private firm, then returned to work in the senior Bush's administration. After President George H.W. Bush lost reelection, Roberts returned to a lucrative practice in a D.C. law firm, where he argued dozens of cases before the Supreme Court. In 2003 President George W. Bush nominated him to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, where he served for two years before Bush nominated him to fill Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's seat on the Supreme Court.
A couple months after Bush nominated Roberts, in the midst of Hurricane Katrina, Rehnquist died. He was 80 years old. Bush elevated Roberts, one of Rehnquist's pallbearers, to the nomination of chief justice. An overwhelming majority of the Senate, including about half the Democrats, confirmed Roberts-though then-Sen. Barack Obama voted against his confirmation. At age 50 Roberts was the youngest chief justice in a century, and he arrived with just two years of experience as a judge, providing very little record of what kind of chief justice he would be.
A prominent figure in the Bush world before he became chief justice, Roberts came under criticism from senior Bush advisers after the healthcare decision. Michael Gerson, an advisor to President George W. Bush, blasted Roberts in a column. Dana Perino, Bush's press secretary, said on Fox News that she talked to President Bush about the healthcare decision but she declined to share the details of their conversation. "Almost across the board, every conservative said he's a solid guy, he's the one we want," she said about the nomination process. "And now the level of disappointment amongst a lot of people, including myself, is really high."
Of the 12 justices Republican presidents have nominated since President Richard Nixon, at least seven have "drifted left," or denied conservatives a majority on significant cases. Chief Justice Warren Burger voted with the majority in Roe v. Wade. Justice John Paul Stevens became the court's "liberal lion." Justice Anthony Kennedy voted to uphold Roe, Justice David Souter became reliably liberal, and O'Connor became a swing vote. Since Nixon's administration, Democratic presidents have appointed four justices, all of whom have remained reliably liberal.
"In the way that I know John Roberts, nothing that's happened has changed my opinion of his character," said Rob Schenck, who has a pastoral relationship with the Catholic chief justice. "I know some are worried that he's 'growing in office.' I've not seen anything like that." Schenck, an ordained minister of the Evangelical Church Alliance who heads the D.C.-based outreach to Washington leaders called Faith and Action, quickly asserts that he is not a lawyer, so he is simply defending Roberts' integrity.
Everyone in Washington is parsing Roberts' motives for voting with the liberal justices on such a major case. Jan Crawford of CBS News reported that at a meeting where only the justices were present, Roberts initially voted with the conservative justices that the individual mandate was unconstitutional. But as the term neared its conclusion, he switched his position. Some think he caved to political pressure from Democrats. Others think Roberts really does have a minimalist view of the court, and he decided to rein in the court's influence over American life and let Congress do its job. (But Roberts has overturned federal statutes in the past, most famously in the Citizens United case that threw out certain campaign finance laws and changed campaigns completely.)
"If Roberts' supporters are right"-that Roberts ruled the way he did to preserve the court's reputation-"this decision was made politically. It was not a legal decision," said Randy Barnett, a conservative constitutional expert at Georgetown Law School. "He is the only jurist with any connection to this case who held this position," Barnett continued, referring to Roberts upholding the individual mandate based on Congress' taxing power. "How compelling is that? Everyone's been looking at this case for two years."
Still others think Roberts pulled off a triple Lutz jump, solidifying the conservative court's reputation as moderate and minimalist while gutting the legal framework behind the healthcare law. Former circuit court judge Michael McConnell, who was along with Roberts on Bush's short list for Supreme Court nominees, told me Roberts' opinion was "quite deft" even though he thinks the healthcare law is a "disaster."
"I think he has a genuine commitment to judicial restraint, and we saw that," McConnell said. "I think he also has a long-term desire to make the Supreme Court less of a controversial and politically charged institution." In pursuing that goal in this case, McConnell said, Roberts established tight limits on federal power: "If you think about the case raising long-term constitutional questions, the challengers [of the healthcare law] prevailed on all the important points."
Those in McConnell's camp point primarily to the part of Roberts' opinion that declares the mandate unconstitutional under the Commerce Clause, or the federal government's power to regulate-which would amount to a significant curb on a federal power that has swelled over the last century.
But some legal experts wonder whether that part of the decision will last. "Although a majority of the court agreed on a limitation of the Commerce Clause, there's at least disagreement about whether a future court would view this as binding precedent," said Jordan Lorence, a constitutional lawyer with the Alliance Defense Fund. The four liberal justices dissented from that part of the opinion. The four conservative justices agreed in substance with Roberts on that part of the opinion, but they noticeably did not join his opinion.
Usually when dissenting justices agree with the majority on a part of the opinion, their dissent will say they concur with the majority on that portion. But the four conservative justices refused to concur, which is so unusual that court observers thought the dissent was an expression of the conservative justices' deep anger with Roberts. Usually a dissent argues with the majority opinion point by point, but in the healthcare dissent the four justices barely acknowledge that Roberts' majority opinion exists.
"The court regards its strained statutory interpretation as judicial modesty. It is not. It amounts instead to a vast judicial overreaching," read Kennedy wearily on June 28 from the dissent's blistering conclusion, one of the only parts that acknowledges the majority opinion. CBS News reported that Kennedy intensely lobbied Roberts to come back to the fold after he switched his vote, to no avail. In the past, Kennedy, a Republican appointee, has received the label of "traitor" himself. He and O'Connor voted with the liberal justices in 1992 in Planned Parenthood v. Casey, a case that reaffirmed Roe v. Wade. But his alignment in that case jibes with what he sees as protecting individuals from government. That "betrayal" perhaps made more sense than Roberts' decision to uphold a mandate he thought was unconstitutional on its face.
The next president, whether Mitt Romney or Barack Obama, will likely select at least one new justice. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is 79. Justice Antonin Scalia is 76. Justice Anthony Kennedy is 75.
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, clerked for Justice Samuel Alito at one time and now serves on the Senate Judiciary Committee, which holds confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominees. He said the healthcare ruling "reinforces the importance of confirming Supreme Court justices who will be faithful to the plain meaning of statutory text, and who will adhere to the Constitution's limits on federal power, regardless of political pressures."

The Independence School raised more than $2,400, plus supplies, for the victims of Hurricane Sandy.
The Independence School first organized a school-wide collection of much-needed supplies for residents of Staten Island, which were gathered and sorted by students, and transported to a distribution site on Staten Island. The early childhood and lower school students then launched their coin collection, which saw students third through fifth grade dropping coins and some bills into jugs throughout the school for two weeks. Sixth through eighth graders engaged in penny wars during the same period, adding to the coin collection.
A school-wide jeans day took place, during which students made donations enabling them to forgo the usual dress code and wear blue jeans. For more information, visit TheIndependenceSchool.org.

Spiderlock SL is a helmet stabilizing device that perfectly fits in with the webbing system. Its mechanism is alike the Spiderlock Elite's, but an engineering process has been performed to reduce significantly the weight of the helmet. This way, we have built very comfortable helmets with lower weight. It may be tightened around the rider's head with only one hand thanks to its rack-and-pinion mechanism. The angle can be adjusted. Ergonomic foam padding for optimum comfort at the neck area.
So light that this rack-and-pinion system can be adjusted or removed to stabilize the helmet around the head. It is provided with an ergonomic foam padding.
Monocoque Structural Base (MSB)
Ring-shaped protection at the helmet base, which reinforces the perimeter. A plastic covers the head completely for enhanced protection.
Ring-shaped plastic cover at the base of the helmet in order to spread the shock of impact.
Where grams convert into seconds, there is no place for useless weight. To avoid the failure of comfort, multifunction adjusting systems or ventilation, design optimization is crucial. Each gram is now key to protection and comfort. It takes more than a simple vision to achieve a super light helmet.

At Emerald Downs, August is always synonymous with the Longacres Mile.
This year, though, Emerald Downs is adding basketball into the mix. The inaugural EmD3-On-3 will be held the week prior to The Mile, on Saturday, August 10 and Sunday, August 11, with games played on 30 half-courts in the north parking lot.
The two-day extravaganza is the brainchild of Bob Fraser, Emerald Downs Vice-President of Operations, who came away impressed last summer while attending the enormously successful Spokane Hoopfest. The largest event of its kind in the world, Hoopfest drew over 27,000 players to Spokane last June including Fraser and his two sons.
"I was amazed at the size of the event and the involvement of the Spokane community in making it happen," said Fraser, a youth basketball coach. "I watched volunteers set up the courts and the operational aspects involved with making the event happen and felt we had the resources here at Emerald Downs and in Auburn to make it happen. I asked myself why don't we have an event like this in Western Washington."
Taking the bull by the horns, Fraser made a feasibility study and determined the Emerald Downs facility and the Auburn Valley region as excellent prospects for an event west of the Cascades.
"To my knowledge there was no other event in Western Washington and the opportunity was ripe to jump in," Fraser said. "I spoke with Ron Crockett, and he thought it was a good idea so I proceeded with doing the groundwork, setting up committees and making contacts in the community."
Fraser said the community response—everything from Auburn Mayor Pete Lewis to youth coaches and local businesses—has been outstanding. In fact, Fraser already has commitments for three premier sponsorships and has sold sponsorships on 28 of 30 courts. An event website—emd3on3.com—launched February 7.
"The word is getting out," Fraser said. "Many or our court sponsors are assisting us by contacting other businesses in the area and encouraging them to contribute to the event.
"The Auburn community is really passionate about sports, and events like the 3-On-3 tourney helps bring the community even closer. The mayor and his staff have been monitoring our progress and are excited about the potential economic impact of the event."
As for players, the cost is only $120 per team, with each team guaranteed at least three games.

Death penalty questioned, county advances crime lab, Anna Louise Inn to break ground
For some, Dennis McGuire's 26-minute, seemingly painful execution raises constitutional and ethical questions about Ohio's use of the death penalty. In particular, the convicted killer's family and medical experts say the state's use of a new cocktail of drugs presented problems even before McGuire was killed, with one Harvard professor of anesthesia warning the state prior to the execution that its dosage was too low for McGuire's size and the drugs inadequate. Jonathan Groner, a professor of clinical surgery at Ohio State University, told CityBeat, "I wouldn't want what he got to have my appendix out. … I would be concerned that I would feel something."Hamilton County commissioners yesterday accepted a Mount Airy facility offered to the county as a gift by Catholic Health Partners, with plans to use the former hospital as the campus for a new crime lab. The acceptance came despite previous warnings that the Mount Airy facility could not be taken in by the county if the Board of Elections didn't also move its office and early voting to the Mount Airy location, where only one bus line runs, from its current downtown office. A party-line tie vote left the Board of Elections move in limbo, with a tie-breaking decision expected from the Republican secretary of state in the next few weeks. Democrats oppose the move because it would limit voting access for people who rely on public transportation, while Republicans argue free parking at the new facility would outweigh the loss of bus access.Officials plan to break ground today on the Anna Louise Inn's new location at Mount Auburn. The start of construction marks the beginning of the next chapter for the Inn afters its owner, Cincinnati Union Bethel (CUB), lost a contentious legal battle against financial giant Western & Southern. CUB sought to keep the Inn at the location it has been at since 1909, while Western & Southern aimed to claim the property to invoke its full development vision on the Lytle Park neighborhood. After two years of litigation, both sides reached a settlement in which CUB agreed to move.Commentary: Media Should End Reliance on "He Says, She Says."A local abortion clinic asked a Hamilton County judge to suspend a state order that would shut down the facility.

Cincinnati's 1 Percent

Rich people get to do whatever the hell they want in this city. Maybe that's the way it is in every city and anyone surprised by it is a simpleton who clearly grew up on the wrong side of I-75. But the influence that Cincinnati's rich people have over the direction of this city and the distribution of its resources should disturb everyone.

Western & Southern to Buy Anna Louise Inn

Police chief leaving to Detroit, council scrutinizes streetcar, Anna Louise Inn sold
The city confirmed today that Cincinnati Police Chief James Craig will be leaving Cincinnati to take a job in Detroit. During Craig's time, the city experienced a significant drop in crime. City officials praised Craig for his attempts to forge better ties between the Cincinnati Police Department and local communities, particularly by establishing the External Advisory Committee, a group of active local community members and business leaders that gives advice on the police department's policies and procedures. City Manager Milton Dohoney Jr. said the city will begin a nationwide search for Craig's replacement tomorrow. Cincinnati Union Bethel (CUB) is selling the Anna Louise Inn to Western & Southern for $4 million, and CUB will be relocating the Inn's services to Mount Auburn. Many Anna Louise Inn supporters are taking the sale as a sign Western & Southern won, while others are glad the extensive legal battles are finally over. The sale came after years of Western & Southern obstructing the planned renovations for the Anna Louise Inn through court battles and other legal challenges, which CityBeat covered here. In a Q&A with The Cincinnati Enquirer, Western & Southern CEO John Barrett reflected on the events, saying his company took the "high road" throughout the controversy — a claim many Anna Louise Inn supporters dispute. City Council grilled Dohoney yesterday over fixing the streetcar project's $17.4 million budget gap and whether paying for the cost overruns to save the project is worth it. Supporters of the streetcar pushed questions and comments that touted the streetcar project's return on investment, which was further supported by Dohoney's testimony and previous studies from HDR, a consulting firm, and the University of Cincinnati. Opponents suggested the cost overruns were too much and the project, which now stands at $133 million, is too expensive. A final decision is expected by the end of May. The streetcar project's funding comes from the capital budget, which can't be used to fix the city's $35 million operating budget deficit because of limits established in state law. The city and county governments are clashing over the city's hiring policies for companies bidding on the Metropolitan Sewer District's (MSD) construction projects. The city's laws require construction firms to have apprenticeship programs, which the city says promotes job training on top of employment. But the Hamilton County Board of Commissioners claims the requirements aren't feasible and put too much of a strain on companies. Democratic Commissioner Todd Portune questioned why the city's policy only applies to MSD and not other local government agencies. The Duke Energy Garden is the latest addition to the Smale Riverfront Park. A Catholic teacher union will not support Carla Hale, a gay Columbus-area teacher who was fired after she named her girlfriend in an obituary for her mother. Hale says she was fired over her sexuality, but the Catholic Church says she was fired for revealing a "quasi-spousal relationship" outside of marriage. The Catholic Church opposes same-sex marriage, which means all gay couples are in a non-marital relationship under the Church's desired policies.The Internal Revenue Service scandal, which involves IRS officials unfairly scrutinizing conservative groups, is now nationwide. Previous reports pinned the practice on a Cincinnati field office, but numerous IRS offices around the country, including one in Washington, D.C., were found to be guilty of the practice in documents acquired by The Washington Post. Headline from The Columbus Dispatch: "Man who killed wife, then self: 'I couldn't take her mouth anymore.'" The brain catches grammar errors even when a person doesn't realize it.

Western & Southern to Buy Anna Louise Inn
ALI to sell Lytle Place property for $4 million, relocate to Mount Auburn
It's over. Big guys, you won.Western & Southern in a press release today announced an agreement with Cincinnati Union Bethel (CUB) that will sell the Anna Louise Inn in Lytle Park to W&S for $4 million, ending years of entanglements between the two entities over what should be done with the property in need of millions of dollars in renovations. As part of the deal, ALI will move to a new location in Mount Auburn at the corner of Reading Road and Kinsey Avenue, in the same vicinity as the United Way of Greater Cincinnati and The Talbert House. The settlement also provides CUB time to construct the new Inn, so none of the current residents will be displaced. CUB will still retain its $13 million in funding to develop the new property. The Anna Louise Inn, which provides safe and affordable housing for low-income women, has called the Lytle Park location home since 1909. The new agreement will dissolve all ongoing litigation; most recently, W&S accused ALI of potentially discriminating against men.In 2009, W&S passed up on an opportunity to purchase the Inn for $3 million, before CUB obtained city- and state-distributed federal funding to renovate the building and stay in the neighborhood, a decision Western & Southern admitted it regretted. Since then, the Fortune 500 company has been battling with the ALI in hopes of getting another chance to purchase the property. According to the CUB website, the settlement came about for several reasons, including concern that ongoing litigation with W&S would have caused it to lose tax credits earned through the Ohio Housing Finance Agency, which were due to expire at the end of 2013 and cannot be used during ongoing litigation. Now W&S plans to renovate the building into an upscale new hotel, which will essentially give the company a monopoly on real estate in the Lytle Park neighborhood. It's a bittersweet change for the women and staff at the Inn, explains CUB President and CEO Steve MacConnell, but "ultimately, it's the right decision," he says. MacConnell says CUB learned about the plot of land just three to four weeks ago, when they started seriously considering a move. "After two years of litigation, the women — and us — we were all feeling so much uncertainty," he says, "and ultimately what's best for the women is what we've always had in mind."

Anna Louise Inn Wins Zoning Appeal
Western & Southern expected to appeal something else next week
In the ongoing saga of Western & Southern vs. the Anna Louise Inn, there have been several court cases and zoning rulings, most of which have been appealed by one side or the other. Today it was the Cincinnati Zoning Board of Appeals' turn to rule on something that's already been ruled on, and it went in favor of the Anna Louise Inn. The Board upheld a certificate of appropriateness for the Anna Louise Inn's planned renovation, which essentially also upholds the Historic Conservation Board's right to issue a conditional use permit — at least for now. Western & Southern is expected to appeal that permit, granted by the Conservation Board Aug. 27, before its 30-day window to do so expires. Before this series of appeals can play out, the 1st District Court of Appeals will hear arguments in the Anna Louise Inn's appeal of Judge Norbert Nadel's May 27 ruling, which set in motion the Inn's attempts to secure zoning approval from the Historical Conservation Board in the first place. (All of this could have been avoided if Western & Southern would have purchased the Anna Louise Inn when it had the chance. CityBeat previously reported the details of Western & Southern's failure to purchase the Inn and the company's subsequent attempts to force the Inn out of the neighborhood here.) About 40 people attended today's hearing, including City Councilman Wendell Young, who said he supports the Anna Louise Inn but was not there to testify on its behalf. By upholding the certificate of appropriateness, the ruling keeps alive a conditional use permit that could allow the Anna Louise Inn to move forward with a $13 million renovation of its historic building, once the expected appeals process plays out. (CityBeat covered the Aug. 27 Historical Conservation Board hearing here.) The Board heard brief arguments from lawyers for both Western & Southern and Cincinnati Union Bethel and then entered executive session for about 15 minutes before ruling in favor of the Anna Louise Inn. Western & Southern lawyer Francis Barrett, who is the brother of Western & Southern CEO John Barrett and a member of the University of Cincinnati Board of Trustees, told CityBeat after the meeting that he disagreed with the board's finding because a designed expansion of the building's fifth floor has not yet had its use approved. "With this case, the Historical Conservation Board is basically approving for the certificate of appropriateness the design of the building," Barrett said. "But the design included an expansion of the fifth floor, and until that use issue is resolved the code reads, in my opinion, you can't approve the design because the use hasn't been approved." Barrett during the hearing read a written statement to the board arguing two main points: that the Historic Conservation Board didn't have the jurisdiction to grant the certificate of appropriateness; and even if it did, Barrett argued, the physical expansion planned makes it a non-conforming use which wouldn't qualify for the building permit. Cincinnati Union Bethel attorney Tim Burke told the Board that the Anna Louise Inn is not seeking a permit for non-conforming use because it already received a conditional use permit from the Historic Conservation Board. "Western & Southern is doing everything it can to block this renovation from happening," Burke told the Board. At the Historic Conservation Board hearing last month Western & Southern tried paint a picture of the Anna Louise Inn's residents contributing to crime in the area because a condition of the conditional use permit is that the building's use will not be detrimental to public health and safety or negatively affect property values in the neighborhood. But the Board granted the permit, stating that the Anna Louise Inn will not be detrimental to public health and safety or harmful to nearby properties in the neighborhood and that the Board found no direct evidence connecting residents of the Anna Louise Inn to criminal activity in the neighborhood. Western & Southern has until next week to appeal that ruling.

Anna Louise Inn, Western & Southern Returning to Court
Hearings set with Judge Norbert Nadel for April
The Anna Louise Inn and Western & Southern will meet again in court in April to begin the next chapter of the ongoing zoning dispute between the longtime neighbors. In a Feb. 8 ruling, the Ohio First District Court of Appeals agreed with a lower court that Cincinnati Union Bethel, which owns the Inn, filed an incomplete permit application. The ruling asks CUB to resubmit the funding requests to the city of Cincinnati — except this time CUB will have to include details about previously omitted parts of the Anna Louise Inn and the Off the Streets program. But Tim Burke, attorney for CUB, says CUB already carried out the court's requirements. After Judge Norbert Nadel ruled May 4 that the Inn didn't properly fill out its original application, CUB started a second chain of applications to obtain a conditional use permit to meet Nadel's zoning specifications. The new applications have been approved by Cincinnati's Historic Conservation Board and the Cincinnati Zoning Board of Appeals, but Western & Southern is appealing those rulings as well. Last week's appeals court ruling sent the case back down to the lower court on a legal technicality. With the ruling, all the Anna Louise Inn cases, including the separate chain of zoning appeals, are essentially consolidated to Nadel. The dispute began in 2010, when Western & Southern sued the Anna Louise Inn over zoning issues to block $13 million in city- and state-distributed federal loans to renovate the building. Western & Southern declined an opportunity to purchase the building in 2009, but now seems interested in turning it into a luxury hotel. The Anna Louise Inn is a 103-year-old building that provides shelter to low-income women. Its Off the Streets program helps women involved in prostitution turn their lives around.For more information about this ongoing dispute, visit CityBeat's collection of coverage here.

Anna Louise Inn Faces Setback

The women's shelter that has called downtown's 300 Lytle St. home since 1909 last week faced another hitch in moving forward with its $12.6 million expansion. Hamilton County Judge Norbert Nadel on May 4 ruled that the Anna Louise Inn's zoning was incorrectly done in its application for a building permit last year for its planned renovations.

Event at Chanccelor's house
Above: Members of the Chancellor's Circle occasionally gather at the Kochs' house for a special event.
Recognition for Giving
The Chancellor's Circle is a recognition program that honors donors who make significant contributions to the University of Illinois in a given fiscal year which begins on July 1 and ends June 30.
Established by the University's three campuses and the University of Illinois Foundation in the fall of 2006, the Chancellor's Circle promotes the importance of high-end annual giving.
Almost All Gifts Count
- one-time major gifts;
- payments on open pledges;
- gifts made through a payroll deduction plan;
- annual fund gifts;
- gifts to public radio, the arts, and athletics
And if your company has a matching program, the gifts your company makes will count toward your total.
The only gifts that are not recognized for the Chancellor's Circle are grants, estate distributions, charitable trusts, and contracts.
Designate your gifts wherever you'd like. It's your choice!
- Give to one or two or many units on any of the University of Illinois campuses.
- Give when you make your usual gift during the year or give multiple times throughout the year.
Once your gifts reach a total of $2,500 in that fiscal year (July 1 – June 30), you are automatically a member of the Chancellor's Circle for that year.
What are the recognition levels?
The Chancellor's Circle includes four recognition levels:
- Platinum: $25,000 or more
- Gold: $10,000 – $24,999
- Silver: $5,000 – $9,999
- Bronze: $2,500 – $4,999
Frequently Asked Questions
I am already a member of the recognition/loyalty society for my college or the program(s) I support. What is different about the Chancellor's Circle?
Many of the donors at the Chancellor's Circle level are also members of a recognition society through their program, department, college, or campus.
The Chancellor's Circle recognizes you for your combined annual support of the University in addition to the recognition you receive from the many interests you support, and it acknowledges the full measure of your generosity to the University.
I'm a member of the Presidents Council, the University's highest recognition group. Why would I want to be a Chancellor's Circle member?
The Chancellor's Circle joins the Presidents Council as one of the University's most prestigious donor recognition societies.
- The Presidents Council honors individuals or couples who have cumulative lifetime outright gifts of at least $25,000 or a deferred commitment of $50,000 or more.
Membership in the Presidents Council is granted for a lifetime.
- The Chancellor's Circle honors individuals or couples who give a total of $2,500 or more during a fiscal year (July 1 – June 30).
Membership in the Chancellor's Circle is recognized on an annual basis. The Chancellors Circle offers the opportunity for donors to be recognized by the University each and every year as leaders in current giving.
My company matches my gifts. Will its matching gift count toward my membership?
Yes, matching gifts are included in your fiscal year total.
My company isn't very prompt in sending its matching gift. What if my company's matching gift isn't received before June 30th?
Once we receive your gift and completed matching gift form, your company's anticipated matching gift will be added to your fiscal year total. But remember, if your company's matching gift is received during the next fiscal year, it will not be applied toward that fiscal year's total too, since you will have already received credit for it.
What are the benefits of being a Chancellor's Circle member?
Chancellor's Circle members are recognized in an annual honor roll, published after the close of the fiscal year (June 30) and may receive correspondence from the Chancellor and invitations to and recognition at selected events throughout the year.
I don't like to have my name published on donor honor rolls. Can I be a member of the Chancellor's Circle and not have my name listed?
Absolutely. Just let us know you prefer not to be listed in the Chancellor's Circle Honor Roll. You can also choose not to have your name published but still be recognized when attending regional and special events.
I still have questions. Whom can I contact?
Please contact Lisa Whelpley at 217.206.6058.

I got an Adonit Jot Touch for a birthday present this year and I've been working with it on and off. Like many people, I've been waiting for a good stylus for the iPad that has pressure sensitivity, and this seemed to be the one.
The most important conclusion I've come to is that the software is key.
I was initially really disappointed. Using the Adonit with Artrage, or with Sketchbook Pro was very laggy. When drawing a line I often had over a centimeter between where the stylus was, and where the end of the line was on the screen. And this wasn't due to me drawing particularly fast. That kind of lag makes this hard to use for quick sketching - the exact task the iPad should be great for. When I switched to my finger, the response time was incalculably better. The experience of drawing with a finger in Artrage or Sketchbook Pro was nicer than with a stylus - not exactly what I was hoping for.
However - keen to identify whether this was a fault of the software or a barrier thrown up by the bluetooth communication time - I opened up Procreate. In Procreate the lag is hardly noticeable - which makes me very happy indeed. If Procreate can get it working, then Artrage and Sketchbook should be able to solve this too. I love the features in Artrage, and would much prefer it to Procreate for working up sketches.
With the lag addressed - what's the rest of the pen like? The clear plastic disk attached to the tip make it very easy to see where you're drawing (though if you pick one up make sure to add a screen protector to your iPad screen). The pen has a lovely weight to it - and the magnetic usb charger is great. It holds it's charge for a long time - it's sat in my bag for months without being recharged. Pairing with the iPad is also easy - all the programs I used recognised the pen quickly and 'just worked'.
I actually like using this pen in Paper - though of course that app has no pressure sensitivity. The precision alone is a good feature.
But what about the pressure sensitivity? I have to say I like it a lot. All three of the apps I tried it with have pens that have a width sensitivity to the pen pressure (or something that mimics it closely). That makes creating ink line art feel much more natural and sketchy than a non-pressure sensitive stylus. The colouring with opacity set to pen pressure is generally a little more clunky. Procreate overrides the opacity and ties it only to pressure. So you can't have a maximum opacity of 10% at full pressure for example, so you're confined to just pressing very very lightly if you want low opacity brush strokes. However, these are software issues that are likely to evolve with future releases.
Conclusion? I like the pen, it feels natural and it's night and day better than drawing with a finger on the iPad. Is it worth stumping for pressure sensitivity? Well, the software doesn't feel like it's quite there yet. I'm an optimist, so I believe that Artrage and Sketchbook Pro will fix their lag issues, and then the more powerful features of these will be brought to bear. If you're looking for a Cintiq replacement - look elsewhere. There's no full Photoshop clone on the iPad and you'll never have the same control over the degrees of pressure sensitivity and how they map to brushes. But for quick and dirty sketching - I think this is a nifty tool that will only get better as the software catches up.
I'm using the Adonit Jot Touch with a 32Gb iPad 2

Josiah Leming, originally of brief American Idol fame, put on an incredible show in NYC this week. Check out my review of the intimate set he played at The Bitter End.
My friend Tomwattie and I got to the venue (The Bitter End) about an hour early, most due to the fact that we had purchased meet and greets. Not surprisingly, the bouncer or doorman or whatever at the place was 100% rude and gave us no information. Luckily, I checked my email and later realized Josiah had posted about the M&G details on his Twitter.
I bought both of Josiah's albums on iTunes and was always a huge huge fan of his music since his brief stint on Idol, so meeting his was really the right way to start off the night. It was only a handful of others, and he showed up right on time. He was so personable and easy to talk to, SO GRACIOUS to his fans, and very very nice. He pulled us all into a little circle and signed us posters for the event that he had printed. He personalized them and everything, and even chatted with everyone. I got two awesome pics with Josiah, and a third with Josiah, Tomwattie, and I. They came out perfecttttt. I couldn't have envisioned a better meet and greet.
Afterward, we walked to the venue WITH Josiah, which was pretty awesome. When we got back to The Bitter End, the same asshole bouncer dude was still there. He remembered us and we went straight through. We sat in the very front, at the table with a 2-drink-per-person requirement. In my opinion, that's super dumb, but whatever. OneLove was the "opener" of the concert, and he was quite excellent. Very bluesy/indie sound going on and I loved it.
When it came time for Josiah, everyone was silent (except for some annoying girls in the back that kept screaming for his to sing "Come on Kid" from his debut album) and he REALLY knows how to put on a show. I couldn't have envisioned it any better. He has a rich and meaningful sound to his voice that is hard to not fall in love with. He sang two of my favorites ("Maybe" and "Too Young") and my all-time favorite ("Fuck Up", which sounded incredible). He was on for about an hour, and he even did an encore! He totally killed it on the keyboard even if he looked like he'd tip over on his little stool at least a dozen times. I totally dug it! I bought a physical copy of "Another Life", his second album, after his set and he signed it to me. Such an awesome night! Look out for Josiah to drop a third album sometime next year 🙂

I can't answer this myself, but I'm sure Waldronate will be along shortly to provide an answer for you.
Last night I fired Wilbur up on my new computer, a 6 core AMD Thuban processor OC'ed to 3.6 ghz and 8 gig of RAM. I tried to crash it by creating a huge map, but it happily worked with a map measuring 4096x2048 pixels. This works out to 6 pixels = 1 mile for the scale of that map and I don't think I want or need to see if it will work with a base size any larger. Getting an artpad this evening but it's been quite fun. Program seems much more stable than the last time I had free time to play with it about this time last year.
Also, does Wilbur make use of the GPU any? (I have a ATI 5087 chipset in it with 1 gig DDR 5 vram)
I can't answer this myself, but I'm sure Waldronate will be along shortly to provide an answer for you.

4096x2048 isn't really that large. The 64-bit Wilbur version will go much, much larger than that (pretty much up to the limits of your patience). Wilbur doesn't use any GPU-specific elements at this time and probably won't unless I'm willing to abandon support for the older Intel chipsets that don't support at least OpenGL 2.0. It also doesn't support SSE2 yet because I didn't want o jettison the users still stuck with older Athlon XPs. However, I think it's about time to at least make the SSE2 transition.
I may be wrong but if you compile for x64 then I thought you got SSE 1-2 or 3 by default - i.e. its not optional any more. So am I correct in saying that you only need to code SSE 1/2 for old x86 in 32 bit ?

Well, increased it up to where I was looking at 10px per mile, about 8000 wide and 4000 down. Fireworks screamed in pain and died having maxed it's 32 bit paging file out at 3.76 GB handling the file. I switched to Photoshop to get it to that size and Wilbur took it happily.
It's going to be a long redraw though, but this world is very old and very overdue for new maps.
x64 does have SSE2 available, but the programmer has to enable the extended instruction set in the compiler. I think that there are few enough machines prior to Pentium 4 and Athlon 64 out there that lack of SSE2 won't be missed. I vaguely recall that using the Intel compiler would let me generate an executable that would work on any x86 feature set, but it's been a while and I have a foggy notion that some of the Wilbur code was doing things that caused that particular compiler to generate the wrong output.
The best overall option is to use OpenCL, but that's a lot of code and Intel's CPU-only and CPU/GPU implementations won't be out until next year at the earliest according to some discussions at SIGGRAPH this year. Plus, it's a lot of work to convert the code base and some of the algorithms (the precipiton erosion algorithm, for example) aren't particularly amenable to parallelization. I have lots of things to do already in terms of fixing code and adding certain useful features without working on performance.
You sure - I know x86 you had to enable it and then it tied it to certain processors so it would fault on early x86 ones but I was fairly sure the x64 instruction set includes by default the SSE1 and 2 so there is no option on an MS compiler to enable them. I think the SSE3 is optional. I was under the impression that if you compile for x64 then you get the compiler speed up from the use of SSE 1 & 2 instructions with no options. Thats why I have not been all that interested in doing any SSE optimizations.
It was a shame that they binned the Larrabee cos that was supposed to be x86 in an array programmed under OpenCL which would have been perfect. So at mo were stuck with CUDA and AMDs OpenCL. I think I saw that nVidia has released OpenCL drivers without having to sign up to their dev program now. I agree that its a bit of a chore tho and too much hassle unless your real dedicated to making it work or its your day job / funded job to do it.

The Wilbur VS 2010 solution doesn't have the "Enable Enhanced Instruction Set" option set by default; I had to go in and set it to "Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (/arch:SSE2)". Whether the compiler is actually using this flag or not isn't something I checked into.
Yeah, I've done 8192x4096 regularly in Photoshop in my mac. I've not been able to get up to that size in Wilbur. Perhaps that owes in part to the fact that I'm stuck with 32-bit Windows XP. Perhaps, someday, when I have more wealth and I've, you know, bought everything I want, I'll consider an upgrade to Win7.

By the way, the Wilbur site appears to be down. I'm hoping that's because Mr. Slayton has it all bogged down uploading the latest upgrade of Wilbur. Doesn't hurt to hope.

Mangusta 105By Alan Harper
Chasing the Snake
Mangusta builds a boat to kill a cobra.
It's a great story. In 1985 a marine-electronics engineer named Giuseppe Balducci set up Overmarine after having spent years servicing the shipyards of Viareggio and deciding he could build boats too. The boat to beat in those days was the mighty Tecnomarine Cobra—and what eats cobras for breakfast? A mongoose, of course. Thus was the Mangusta brand born.
Like most great stories this one is absolutely true, and it is given added poignancy by the fact that Tecnomarine has now disappeared while Overmarine occupies a prominent waterfront site in this fabled capital city of Italian yacht-building. Its first product was an 80-footer, and outrageously big and fast motor yachts became the shipyard's stock in trade. Secured to the quay in front of one of the massive assembly sheds, our 105 test boat was dwarfed by Mangustas on either side, but in any other setting the powerful, 103-foot 95-tonner is a very substantial vessel indeed.
The Mangusta 105 is a popular model. More than 30 have been built. Ours was the first of the Mark 2s, with a completely restyled superstructure molding, but the winning formula is otherwise not much altered: big engines, big interiors, and a big personality.
The smallest boat model built by Overmarine is a 72, and with the 80 these are the only surface-drive models in the lineup. Everything else has jets, and the 105 has two 2,400-horsepower MTU V16s to drive them. One glance at the helm console is enough to confirm that this is no ordinary motoryacht—thanks to the various management and override systems built into the Rolls-Royce KaMeWa propulsion electronics there seems to be twice the usual number of screens, dials, gauges, and monitors, and the control units themselves look worryingly unfamiliar.
In fact, taking the helm of this motoryacht is remarkably straightforward. There is a conventional wheel—with one-quarter turn lock to lock, this being a pure fly-by-wire set-up—but the control units are the way to go. With engines and drives synchronized to one unit, a simple one-handed twisting action steers the boat, and the throttle lever is right at your fingertips. It seems an extraordinary way to exercise control over such a powerful machine, but it works beautifully and takes just a few minutes to get used to. It helps, of course, that the 105 is superbly balanced, equally responsive to both throttle and helm, and for something of this size and displacement, a positive joy to drive.
As a long, lean, V-bottom hull—deadrise at the transom is 15.5 degrees—it does have a significant planing hump to get over, and you need to be bold on the throttles to power through the transition. Once up and running I found minimum planing speed to be a comfortable 20 knots or so. At 25 knots the big Mangusta was relaxed in the cruise. And cruising is what the 105 is all about—with a generous fuel capacity it has nearly a 500NM range at 20 knots and not much less at 25. Our 33-knot maximum on the day reflected the best part of a season's growth on the hull. According to the engineer, we could expect 35 knots with a clean bottom.
There is no "standard" equipment on a Mangusta. Apart from the shipyard's selection of machinery and drive systems, all other equipment on board is chosen by the owner from Overmarine's list of suppliers, which include most of the top brands—and if you want to shop "off piste," as long as it's agreed in advance there is no extra charge. A wealthy colleague of mine found this out for himself a few years back when he selected the most expensive gold-plated cutlery he could find. He sent the list through to the yard, expecting a polite refusal in the face of such extravagance, only to receive a phone call asking if he also wanted the fish knives.
Our 105 was fitted with an impressive tonnage of entertainment equipment, and finished in a combination of gloss cherry and striped mahogany, with wenge flooring, cream carpets, and leather linings and trim. Quality was exemplary, even in hidden corners. The insides of lockers and drawers were as beautifully veneered and lacquered as the outsides.
Below decks, the Mangusta 105 has a fairly conventional layout, with a vast, ten-window owner's cabin amidships, a VIP suite in the bow, and twin-berth guest en suites to port and starboard, each with an extra fold-down Pullman berth. Headroom right through the lower accommodation is an impressive 6'8", and the berths are all full size—even the singles are 30 inches wide.
It's a similar story aft where the crew accommodation and galley are roomy and comfortable, with a pair of twin-berth en suites and a generous mess. The grab-handle by the cooktop is a nice seagoing touch. Further aft, the engine room also seems huge, even packed with gensets and air conditioning and watermaking equipment—as if the MTU V16s weren't enough—with good headroom and walkaround space.
A great lower deck, then—but this isn't the real story of this spectacular yacht. The Mangusta 105 is one of the shipyard's best sellers, and according to Overmarine a major reason is its main saloon, which is not where you'd expect it to be. That deck seating area aft of the helm is a comfortable and sociable place to sit and watch the world go by, if that's what you want to do. But if you need a little family time or want to entertain some business associates, you'll find the main saloon much more amenable. Forward of the helm and down five steps, it has windows on three sides and offers plentiful views. And it cannot be seen from the stern—so even moored to the quay you can enjoy your yacht in privacy, far from the madding crowd.
It's one of those clever quirks that makes a huge difference, and helps establish the character and personality of the 105. It might seem a small thing—but isn't that what the cobra said about the mongoose?

BancorpSouth is setting aside a $500 million loan fund aimed at Mississippi businesses, saying it will work with state officials to find qualified borrowers.
Gov. Phil Bryant appeared with BancorpSouth executives to praise the move Thursday.
Officials spoke at the headquarters of C Spire Wireless, citing the eight-story office building as an example of a project that cooperation between BancorpSouth and a state program made possible.
The fund underscores bank efforts to step up lending as their coffers swell with deposits. More loans would help restore bank profitability to pre-recession levels.
Bank loans fell sharply during the recession and officials with Tupelo-based BancorpSouth say some would-be borrowers still think banks aren't lending.
The move echoes a $1 billion pool Regions Financial Corp. announced for Alabama businesses in February.
