Man arrested for exposing himself to woman in Wauwatosa
A man was arrested after exposing and reportedly gratifying himself in front of a woman in the 6500 block of West Meinecke Avenue at 3:47 p.m. Nov. 29.
According to the Wauwatosa police report:
The man walked up to her and said he was looking for a friend. When she asked him to describe his friend, he said he wasn't looking for someone in particular but any friend. The woman said she was friends with everyone and that they could be friends.
The man then started walking toward her, which she said worried her. She positioned herself to have an escape route and, when she looked back at him, noticed his pants were at his ankles and he was aroused, gratifying himself.
She ran to a neighbor's house and called 911. The man never left her sight until the police picked him up.» Read Full Article
Truck carrying appliances collides with railroad bridge in Wauwatosa
Wauwatosa police have reported that a truck carrying appliances struck the railroad bridge on Swan Boulevard near Menomonee River Parkway the morning of July 1.
According to police, the truck was traveling southbound when it approached the bridge. The driver noticed the clearance limit sign, but it was too late. Fearing he would cause a crash for the driver traveling behind him, the driver chose not step on his brakes before he hit the bridge, police said.
The top and back of the truck were ripped off during the incident, Public Information Officer Lt. Brian Zalewski said. The driver's employer, consumer electronics and home appliances retailer HH Greg, rented the truck, which had an "Enterprise" logo on its side.
A tow truck was called to the scene to assist around 10:30 a.m. July 1. The bridge was inspected following the incident and no issues were found.

Wauwatosa Village businesses remain upbeat amid ongoing reconstruction
Owner of The Little Read Book store Linda Burg knows that when it comes to the ongoing streetscape construction work, there's a light at the end of the tunnel — a very long tunnel.
"When it's done, it's going to be spectacular," said Burg of the reconstruction in the Village of Wauwatosa, which began in early May. The project — projected to reach substantial completion by the end of October — will replace old infrastructure and road surface along State Street and concrete pavers and landscaping features will be installed to create a cureless center village plaza.
"It's going to be very European, very beautiful," Burg said. The store owner said she noticed a similar streetscape design during a recent trip to Dublin.
"I was all excited," she said.

Seventh-inning rally sparks Wauwatosa East over West, 5-4
Wauwatosa East rallied for three runs in the top of the seventh inning and then held off Wauwatosa West and came away with a thrilling 5-4 victory on June 25 at Breitlow Field in the annual Battle of Tosa nonconference game.
"I could say it's just another game, but last week we really struggled," West coach Jason Borski said. "We really wanted this game to finish out the week nicely."
Obviously, East coach Pete Schwichtenberg was feeling a little more upbeat afterward.
"It was huge because it's also a regional game (for seeding)," he pointed out. "We need to keep rolling, keep rolling; it was huge for the momentum to keep carrying through. Coming back in the end is something that was really huge. It kind of gives us our fight going into some big games this week."
East led 1-0 after one inning, and West tied it in the second. East took a 2-1 lead in the fourth inning, but West scored twice in the fifth for a 3-2 advantage. East scored three times in the seventh for a 5-3 lead and then held off the Trojans, who added a run and had the tying run on second when the game ended.» Read Full Article

Wauwatosa West baseball snaps skid with wins over Eisenhower
Offensive struggles have plagued the Wauwatosa West baseball team for most of the season, so it comes as no surprise it took a shutout for the Trojans to snap their 10-game losing streak with a win over New Berlin Eisenhower on June 20.
Tosa West then had its bats awaken the following night, scoring double-digit runs for the first time all season, to complete the sweep of Eisenhower.
After a win over Port Washington and losses to South Milwaukee and Wauwatosa East, the Trojans entered the week at 7-13 overall and 3-5 in the Woodland West.
"Overall, it was a pretty good week," West coach Jason Borski said. "We played more consistent baseball both offensively and defensively."

Long-tenured sports writer Sky Skibosh heads into retirement, sort of
After 14 years, I am stepping down from my position as sports reporter/writer/columnist and tweet guy for Brookfield, Wauwatosa and New Berlin as of June 30.
I have been thinking about this since the end of the winter season. The main reason is my wife, Kathy, turned 65 (hopefully she won't read this) in July and is eligible for Medicare. I've been eligible for two years (I know, I look like I just turned 40).
The second reason is my kids and their spouses have given Kathy and me two new grandsons — Ayden in November and Lewis in February — to go along with Angeline, a 16-year-old Waukesha Northstar junior, and Aria, a perky 3-year old. We need more flexibility to go see them, especially Ayden, who lives in La Cresenta, California.
Favorite teams
I have been blessed with many great teams, too many to remember, since I can't remember what happened two days ago. But I want to bring up five in particular, all state champs in all three of my papers.» Read Full Article

What is it that everybody has and some pirates and thieves try to take? Da booty.
When I first heard this riddle, I was listening to The Love Movement by A Tribe Called Quest. The lines were childish, yet clever, which to me epitomize Tribe's unique style. This spirit, the whimsical street genius of Q-Tip and Phife Dog, was what I hoped Michael Rapaport's award-winning documentary would capture. When I made the trip up to Red Butte Garden this past Wednesday to watch Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest, I wasn't disappointed.
The film opened with the iconic intro to "Can I Kick It," and from that point on, Tribe's music and the movie were one. Viewers witnessed the four-man genesis of A Tribe Called Quest from their childhood in New York and high school associations with The Jungle Boys to their eventual split in 1998 and subsequent reunions thereafter.
Rapaport deftly chose not to portray Tribe merely as a successful hip-hip group (five gold and platinum albums in eight years) or even as a set of talented musicians (Q-Tip is compared to Charlie Parker) but as cultural activists whose views on Afrocentric unity led to the collaborative supergroup, The Native Tongues—the Sergeant Peppers of Hip-Hop.
All documentaries, however, are obligated to present the darker half of their subjects and the drama in Beats, Rhymes, and Life felt obligatory. The destructive addiction trope turned out to be Phife's lust for sugar despite his diabetes, and the group's initial split felt almost cordial. It wasn't until a backstage look at their San Francisco concert that I realized how tenuous the relationship between these giants of hip-hop actually was.
I left the showing informed and nostalgic, humming "Baby Phife's Return." We can only hope.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5 by EGH comes in two, and can't be better 65% cacao but has the deep flavor of something closer to 82%. The cocoabutter fat content is just right--creamy even when chilled as in has the texture of a high-fat milk chocolate but is as dark as the darkest of all darks, just enough sweetness, and the heat comes through at the very end (distinctly noticeable yet without burning). The lime hint is a fragrance, and is definitely there, but forget it if you are a smoker because you just won't be able to tell. Everything tastes better when gifted to you from a friend, but this was actually pretty darn yummy :) April 1, 2012

Rated 5 out of 5 by AmishCajun Well then... There's nothing quite like realizing you've been using a serving bowl as a personal dinner dish to make you feel like a glutton, but so it is. We've been using these bowls to serve soups and pastas where a high side is beneficial. Chili, egg drop soup, anything you don't want to worry about sloshing over the edge of a shallow dish. They've worked amazingly. They're sturdy and thick enough so you don't have to worry about them breaking with regular spoon-banging use but not so thick that you couldn't slurp up the remainder of your soup if you wanted. Not that we would... Okay, we would. They're probably also fantastic as regular serving bowls if they've managed to hold up with our nearly daily use as not serving bowls. May 23, 2015

The Park City Police Department acknowledged this week it is investigating a claim that a not-for-profit executive either embezzled or misappropriated approximately $20,000
The police provided limited details, saying the investigation is continuing. Rick Ryan, a police captain, said an attorney for the organization and one of nonprofit's board members contacted the police separately in late November.
They told the police the president of the organization is the person who embezzled or misappropriated the money, Ryan said. They indicated to the police the money was taken over a period of between one and two years. They provided verbal statements to the police but did not file a written report, he said.
The not-for-profit organization is located within the Park City limits. Ryan said it would not be named unless charges are filed against the person under investigation. The captain said the police are awaiting evidence from the organization.
Ryan said he was unsure whether the person remains employed there.
If the investigation progresses, the police would take steps to obtain subpoenas for financial records from the not-for-profit group and the person, Ryan said. The police do not have a timeline, but Ryan said the case is important.
"It's a priority. We'll be working on it -- the dollar amount, the allegations, the nonprofit," Ryan said.
Ryan said the organization has not indicated to the police the case has impacted its day-to-day functions.

I asked why specifically after the miracle of "Krias Yam Suf" did Klal Yisrael say Shira. It was pointed out as well that shira was said after the miracle of Nachal Arnon. There, an answer was provided as to why after both of these miracles shira was said (but after other miracles not): by these two it was completely through Divine assistance that the miracle came — not like by other miracles. I asked there about the mann — did the Jews have to work for that or was it completely through HaShem? In response, the Gemorah in Yoma was pointed out to me, which indicates that the more righteous worked less in the gathering and preparation of the mann.
I would like to analyze all of the miracles that we find in Chumash to see how they work with one another (in light of the answer mentioned above that distinguishes types of miracle). What is a comprehensive list of all of the miracles that we find in the Chumash (including those miracles already mentioned here or in my other question (linked to above))?
By "all of the miracles" I mean specifically those that happened to the Jews and either saved Klal Yisrael or were miracles that Klal Yisrael benefited from (e.g. the Mann). I'm not speaking about that fact that many of the things that happened in the Chumash could be described as "miraculous".

An Occurrence of Reptile Subaqueous Traces in
the Moenkopi Formation (Triassic) of Capitol Reef
National Park, South Central Utah, USA.
James McAllister1 and John Kirby2
1Biology Department, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Indiana, PA 15701
2Biology Department, Mansfield University, Mansfield, PA 16933
Historically fossil tracks have been treated as novelties of passing interest, or as a footnote in the context of a site report. When reported, tracks were typically the best examples found and rarely included mention of average or poor quality tracks. Ambiguous tracks and traces (such as subaqueous forms) were rarely acknowledged. Papers by Peabody (1948, 1956) and Lammers (1964), along with an abstract by Webb (1980) are exceptional. They describe and provide understanding to some poorly preserved traces considered to have been produced by swimming tetrapods. These reports are some of the earliest references of fossil subaqueous traces. These authors found their samples in the Moenkopi Formation within and adjacent to Capitol Reef National Park, south-central Utah.
Previous contributions are important and progressive, but reevaluation is necessary and expected with advances in methods, context, and when new specimens are found. Peabody serves as an excellent example of research which emphasized rigor in understanding locomotory processes applied to descriptive morphology. With that basis, behavioral interpretations now have become the focus of trackway workers, especially since the publication of Ostrom (1972). The emphasis of our paper is to add to the Capitol Reef National Park (CARE) vertebrate trace fossil story in two ways. First we can increase further the criteria to corroborate subaqueous interpretations; second, we can document sites which we do not believe previous authors studied.
Materials and Methods
Localities.Three study sites are within the
boundaries of CARE. The sites are in the Torrey Member of the
Moenkopi Fm. and are estimated to be late Scythian
(Spathian)(Hintze, 1988). All contain examples of subaqueous traces formed
by tetrapods. Traces occur as sandstone casts which filled in
the impressions (molds) found in the underlying mudstone.
The mudstone is friable and crumbles upon exposure. The
traces are not underprints (secondary structures created by
sion of layers deeper than the original substrate surface) as evidenced by primary structures on the trace (features created by direct contact of the sediment by the tracemaker; example: striations) and occurrence at a discontinuous sediment interface.
Site 1 is a low ridge, at approximately the 5560 ft. contour. The site curves from the southeast to the southwest approximately 87 meters and broadens into a wide slope. The ridge is west of the Headquarters/Visitor Center, bounded on the east and south by Sulphur Creek. The trace layer studied at this site covers approximately 297 sq. m. of surface area and has a strike and dip of 30° NW and 12° NE, respectively. At this location four smaller study sites were chosen and these sections of the trace layer were flipped for study. The surface areas of flipped rock at each of these sites are: Site 1a = 3.38 sq. m., Site 1b = 5.0 sq. m., Site 1c = 2.0 sq. m., Site 1d = 1.42 sq. m. Numerous large traces occur at each site, and are abundant over the entire ridge exposure. No individual traces can be assigned to specific traceways due to the trace density. The flipped blocks were arranged downslope in the mirror image of their original orientation and aligned to their original compass bearing. The blocks were cleaned, photographed, and samples of the surface duplicated by latex molds. The blocks were subsequently restored to their original position.
Site 2 is a broad slope about 1/4 mile due west of Site
1 along Route 24. This location includes both large and
small traces. They are plentiful but less numerous than Site 1;
individual traceways are scarce. Site 2 was not as well
documented as the others. Study was limited to exposure of the
undersurface to find local areas of future interest. Pictures and latex
molds were made of selected displaced slabs which could not be
oriented in situ.
Site 3 is located approximately 2.5 miles west of Site
2 and then south of Route 24 near a dry streambed. The
fossil site is at the base of a small cliff where a number of
large blocks have fallen. The traces at this site are on two
large blocks whose original orientation and placement within
nearby outcrop are unknown. There are over 40 traces on the two blocks which include two distinct traceways. These traceways and remaining traces were made by a relatively large tracemaker similar in size to those at Site 1. The two displaced large blocks of Site 3 were gridded for analysis using chalk lines at intervals of 25 by 25 cm. A Plumb BarbaraTM (computer-enhanced plumb bob) was used to create an artificial base line for this grid. No directional orientation is implied by the base line. The individual traces of each traceway were then photographed and described. The traceways on both blocks were duplicated using latex peels.

Figure 2Selected traces from Site 3. Note Z-traces. Scale equals 10 cm.
Site 1A hodgepodge of traces oriented to the southwest: no discernible traceways are apparent. All traces are subaqueous and large. Marks of individual traces range from 8 20 mm at greatest width and 21 90 mm in axis length. Most trace prints range from one to three digit impressions.
Site 2Orientation is not apparent for all traces. Many small traces exhibit subaqueous characteristics. Larger traces are indistinct and lack features that indicate subaqueous formation. Variation in sandstone thickness and block size makes this site less amenable to flipping and reconstruction of lower surface. A few large traces are present but the majority are small. The small traces consist of marks from one, two or three digits. Single digit traces can have a width of 34 mm and a length of 18 mm. The threedigit traces can have greatest width and axis length of 11 mm and 21 mm, respectively.
Site 3Two traceways are recognized. The original orientation of the trace block is unknown but each traceway is oriented at 40 degrees to the apparent direction of the current. Both traceways have evidence of locomotion by all four appendages. One traceway, composed of 13 traces, has three zshaped traces. The individual ztraces, appear to be formed from the action of one digit and have a greatest width and total axis length of 41 mm and 87 mm, respectively. Most associated marks have two digits associated with the trace and have total trace greatest widths and axis lengths of 57 mm and 114 mm, respectively. The second oriented traceway is composed of 20 traces.
Vertebrate subaqueous traces described in the literature occur as sandstone casts that had filled imprints preserved in underlying mudstone. Exposed traces occur on the underside of resistant sandstone ledges where the mudstone eroded away. This typically makes the traces difficult to examine as it requires removal and flipping of the sandstone layer to expose the traces. At CARE the concordance of stratigraphic dip and hillside slope (forming a small hogback) combined with the lateral extensiveness of the trace-bearing sandstones allows sampling along a large uninterrupted surface. Furthermore, the sandstone is jointed and the underside can be exposed by flipping blocks which are neither so small that there is destruction of many traces, nor too large to require excessive physical effort. These factors combine to make these localities extraordinary. A large exposure can be sampled by two people equipped with handtools.
Prior work by Peabody (1956) and Lammars (1964)
CARE were especially important in documenting subaqueous traces. Although there was no specific listing of recognition criteria, the important characteristics they used to justify their interpretations can be interpreted from their writings. Peabody was impressed by the lack of distinctiveness of the "swim" traces. The lack of definitive series (trail continuity), poorly defined imprints that appeared as if digit tips formed the traces, and the corroboration of the physical environment were important to his interpretation. Salt crystal pseudomorphs, shrinkage cracks, and ripple marks occur elsewhere in the park sediments but not near the "swim" traces.
The sedimentary criteria that form the environmental interpretation should agree with the expected environment of the trace fossils. For example, the lack of salt pseudomorphs, shrinkage cracks, and ripple marks were considered important to Peabody (1956). He used these characters to refine his initial subaqueous track paleoenvironmental interpretation as one which did not undergo subaerial desiccation. Peabody (1956, pg. 738) also considered the traces to have been made in a particular environment, " shallow but extensive pools of a floodplain." However, observations of current produced sedimentary features (especially at Site 3), the offset nature of some traceways (Sites 2 and 3), and the presence of ripplemarks (Site 2) indicate a need to reevaluate the specific environmental interpretation as one which was highly influenced by currents. Although the sedimentary evidence indicates a subaquatic environment in general, and is consistent with the evidence of the traces, each individual character can be used in the interpretation of a variety of environments which underwent similar processes. Sometimes the characters may not simply be a checklist but rather may build several lines of independent evidence which together corroborate an interpretation.
In addition to evidence from the tracks and evidence relating to the depositional environment, Peabody also mentioned an association of a limuloid trackway with subaqueous traces. The presence of this traceway enhances the interpretation of the proximity of an aqueous environment for the CARE Moenkopi Formation.
Lammers (1964) provides additional recognition criteria for Capitol Reef subaqueous traces. He noted that individual traces had striations caused by scales and nails which obscured expected track details. Overhangs along the posterior of the traces would be unusual for non-buoyant tetrapods. Further, the general confusion of the traces, lack of full foot impressions, the abnormal elongation and smearing of the traces, lack of consecutive series, randomness, disorder, and overlapping indicated to Lammers random swimming movements.
McAllister (1989) listed subaqueous features which
can be separated into three categories: criteria inherent to
individual traces, criteria inherent to sequential traces, and
corroborative evidence from sediments/paleoenvironment.
The characters used to distinguish subaqueous traces are
considered to be easily made by a buoyant paddler, but unlikely to
be consistently made during normal terrestrial locomotion.
The descriptions of the subaqueous traces by Peabody and
Lammers were examined and interpreted to correspond to our list
Table 1Criteria helpful for subaqueous interpretation.
Criteria inherent to individual traces are: reflecture of digits (retraction mark of digit tips made from posterior of trace anteriorly), depth of the mark corresponding to arc of limb, elongation of traces, posterior overhangs (continuations of the digit tips posteriorly into the sediment, creating a hanging edge in the cast), striations parallel to direction of propulsion, and preferential impression of distal ends of digits. Criteria inherent in multiple trace comparison or traceways are: great variability in pace angulation, trace lengths excessively variable compared to widths, ratio of manus and pes traces unequal (manus typically underrepresented), and unexpected configurations (lack of traces or extra traces in an expected sequence). Sedimentary and environmental criteria are: association with other appropriate fauna/flora, association with expected sedimentary features, and environmental interpretation.
Our examination of the CARE specimens allows us to include additional recognition criteria. They are the presence of kick-off scours, z-traces, and buoyancy/size-mitigated variably-preserved traces.
Kick-off scours (Fig. 1) occur immediately posterior
to the traces. The sandstone cast infilled the scour and is seen
as the irregular positive relief behind the digit scrapes.
They represent the action of the water eddies created behind
the digits as they pass close over the sediment. At the end of
the propulsive phase (kick-off phase of Thulborn and Wade,
the eddies created by the tips of the digits scour out the area immediately behind the trace. Most of the excavated material disperses into the water column. In a terrestrial case, much of the propulsive phase has the force of the weight-bearing subphase directed downward compressing the sediment. For a fully buoyant tracemaker, the touchdown and weight bearing phases are less well defined, and include pushing sediment (typically fine-grained mud) out of the trace to scatter posteriorly. In the terrestrial trace Thulborn and Wade indicate the manner in which a tracemaker can create striations (retro-scratches) along the imprinted track with a continuation of a backsliding kick-off phase. In this terrestrial situation sediment which is scooped or squeezed out of the track will be deposited on the substrate. If a cast were made of the terrestrial track, the squeezed out or scooped out material would create negative relief. This is an important difference in the modes of formation between buoyant and non-buoyant traces and leads to a fundamental difference in the disposition of the displaced sediment. The difference in mode of formation also helps understand why underprints are not likely to be created by a buoyant tracemaker. Under expected buoyant conditions there will be an extremely small component of substrate compression (downward), compared to a non-buoyant locomotion.
Z-traces (Fig. 2) are interpreted as little double kicks of the tracemaker as the tips of the toes graze the substrate. These traces are made by feet on the side of the tracemaker opposite of the striking current. The trace begins with the typical imprint of one digit entering the sediment in an arc during protraction. The entrance is slightly wider than the rest of the trace (as seen in the entry of other traces), and the depth of the arc does not progress all the way through the sediment as do the two digits on the current side. The digit then retracts anterolaterally a short distance leaving a continuous striated path and trace. The digit continues protracting posteriorly, entering deeper into the substrate, leaving an overhang in the trace cast.
Initial interpretation of the Z-trace establishes the basic mode of formation. The shallow entry and progressive arc-depth indicate that this part of the trace was made first. The continuity of the trace (especially continuity of depth and striations) through the middle of the Z connecting the sides, indicates the creation by one digit. The overhang indicates that this is the end of propulsion; the part of the trace made last. The overhang indicates the direction of the tracemaker movement (toward top of page in Fig. 2) as opposite of the direction the overhang points.
Continued interpretation becomes more speculative, but also more interesting. The initial protraction, quick retraction, and continued final protraction, is interpreted as the tracemaker being at the limits of limb extension (barely touching the substrate) while in an offsetting current. Seemingly these Z-traces indicate an extra little attempt to gain additional grip on the substrate with an immediate second try or extra little flip of the distal limb. For the tracemaker, the sense of one digit barely touching substrate on this side (possibly because the animal is leaning into the current, away from this side) may have caused the tracemaker to try and dig in a bit deeper. Additionally, the side leading into the current may emphasize propulsion, while the side opposite the current may emphasize prevention of current offset. Most importantly, the movement of the limb as described would require a degree of freedom which would only be consistently provided in a buoyant state.
Buoyancy/size-mitigated variably-preserved traces are present at Site 2. Details of some traces are better defined than in other traces (variably preserved). For example, at Site 2 small traces with subaqueous characteristics are well preserved, while large traces are most often poorly preserved with no recognizable subaqueous characteristics. The large ones appear to be full prints of tracks which are deformed and amorphous. Sediment may have been compressed, squeezed, and stuck to the foot as it was removed from the track. The significance of the variably preserved traces is interpreted as relating to the size of the tracemaker verses the water depth and opportunity to become buoyant (buoyancy/size-mitigated). Essentially small tetrapods floated in shallow water while large ones waded. Other variables need to be taken into consideration for a complete interpretation, (ability of small tetrapods to walk along the substrate bottom (Brand 1979), variation in water level over time, and non-contemporaneous trackways). However, the presence of these disparately preserved traces will contribute to a more complete understanding of the subaqueous environment at CARE.
The importance of the Capitol Reef National Park Moenkopi Formation vertebrate traces is clearly evidenced by early references in the literature. Some of the first recognized subaqueous traceways came from the park. Today the extensive deposits and accessibility of the sediments allows continued advancement in traceway interpretations. Previous recognition of subaqueous vertebrate traces include criteria inherent to individual traces, inherent to sequential traces, and correlative criteria from sediments/paleoenvironment. Many of these criteria were originally recognized from CARE specimens. We have further documented criteria not described for this material. Most notable of these are kick-off scours (individual traces), z-traces (individual traces), and buoyancy/size-mitigated variably-preserved traces (sediments/paleoenvironment). These three criteria all rely on buoyancy of the tracemaker to make their characteristic mark of subaqueous formation.
We would like to especially thank Tom Clark, Chief of Resource Management at Capitol Reef National Park for permission to study the traces within the park, the use of facilities during the fieldwork season, and of course his encouragement. Allyson Mathis, now a Park Ranger at Capulin Volcano National Monument, provided us with assistance, enthusiasm, and brought us to the spectacular traceways at Site 3.

I recently discovered the unreleased "Seatron" theme (basically an early Aquazon prototype with elements from M-tron) as I was looking around for building ideas. After some searching, I also found the unreleased Europa theme which seems to be set in the 1700s and has elements of both Castle and Pirates.
Are there other unreleased or prototype themes and sets?

TUCSON, Ariz. – Jade Turner, a 6-4 middle blocker from Bakersfield, Calif., has signed a National Letter of Intent to play volleyball for the University of Arizona, head coach Dave Rubio announced on Thursday.
"Jade is a tremendous athlete with an unusually long wing span of seven feet," Rubio said. We look forward to her continuing the recent tradition we have established with athletes of elite size and length such as McKenzie Jacobson."
A Foothill High School product, Turner finished her high school career with 395 kills, 393 blocks and 67 service aces in 230 career sets. As a senior, she averaged 2.50 kills per set, 1.90 blocks per set and 0.50 service aces per set, while hitting a solid .290.
She accumulated 114 kills, 142 blocks and 23 service aces during her junior year on her way to earning First-Team Southeast Yosemite League honors. In addition, she named honorable mention all-area by the Bakersfield Californian.
In 2011, Turner was named Second-Team Southeast Yosemite League after recording 76 kills to go along with 86 blocks as a sophomore.
Turner plays with the One Volleyball Club in Bakersfield under head coach Kim Harper.
"She has an unbelievable willingness to execute and has that desire to improve her skills," Rubio added. "She has a history at Arizona as her dad played basketball here and we are just extremely excited for her to join our program."
Turner is the daughter of former Arizona men's basketball alum Joe Turner. Turner played for the Wildcats from 1984-88 and was a member of the 1987-88 Final Four team.

reSITE conference will be held in Prague, Czech Republic on June 19-20. reSITE is heading into its third year and quickly becoming one of the premier architecture, urbanism and landscape architecture events. reSITE 2014 will include presentations, panels and debates with over 50 leading experts from Europe, Asia and North America, while hundreds of conference delegates from dozens of countries will enrich the dialogue and experience of answering questions and forming new ones.
reSITE conference takes aim at the question of modernizing and improving the metropolis. The conference will focus on providing solutions for the conflicted desires of Central European citizens; to grow and yet weave in a complex past. The themes that parallel reSITE – architecture, politics, finance, planning and democracy – they all meet when one thinks of public space. A major goal of the conference is to catalyze you – the public, design and business community – to influence positive changes in cities while we encourage municipal leaders to answer the design challenges of our generation.

when will this be out
when will this be out
I'm afraid at present there isn't a fixed date for the release of the game made available publicly; when this is made available it'll be posted here.
(I can say it'll be out before Christmas though)
I'm thinking of purchasing an IPAD 2 primarily for FMH, although it will be used for music and internet browsing as well...
Due to current circumstances i.e. new born baby and job commitments i don't have time for the big brother, therefore FMH is an ideal solution...
However I played last year's FMH version and although it was good and showed promise, the one thing i missed was player history, league history, manger history etc.. I'm hoping the new version has improved in this area, Mark can you give me any snippets of information in this area?
One of the things I would like, speaking of manager/team history, is simply a list of team managed, year, w-d-l, gf-ga, final position, so I could scan down and see whether my team was getting better or worse.
I hope to see custom formations and team talks in the new version
I am hoping that the match engine works better this year. The last 2 years the match engine has been dreadful. Also last year I was convinced your formation was more important than player attributes. I had a team of regens all better than anyone in the world and struggled to win the premier league.
What I'd rather see is team histories - previous divisions, positions, cup wins, record results. That's a little thing that would make is seem less like each season is a separate entity and there is some level of continuity.
If my iPad 2 gets that and its polished then I'll pay whatever Sega wants.
Would also be nice to know what a players favoured foot is,also on iPad surely more player stats can be shown with its much larger screen
Why is the full version not available for iPad? Surely the ipad2 is more than capable of handling it?
Is there any news on when FM2012 is out on ipad2 yet? Will it be out before the end of the month?
Can you tell us the release date of the release date?
Any news yet? Xmas is getting close and need it before the 15th December??
For me the main problem in FMH is the UI. It's not only hideous and nothing comparable to the beauty of the PC version, but it's also not very easy to deal with contrary to the thousands of iOS applications.
Football Manager series was always somehting I loved to look at in the PC (except for one season, can't remember exactly which), but the handheld series seems really far from that approach. It's like something done by two completely different companies.. If this wasn't reviewed for 2012, please remember this for 2013 edition.
Thank you.
I think the UI has minor usability issues, but it's not that ugly... Maybe after a couple of beers
FM for iPad is the only version I play these days as it feels closest to the old school Championship Manager I used to enjoy many years ago, but I agree that the UI could do with a load of work. Things that I particularly notice are:
- It doesn't feel like an iOS app in terms of fluidity or controls.
- Everything seems BIG. Text is bigger than it needs to be and feels pixelated compared to native iPad apps (compare the squad list in FM to the song list in the built in music app for example). Buttons are also bigger than they need to be.
- Pages such as the player page have an extra click to open a menu to move between pages (profile, positions, contract, personal etc) when these could easily be iOS style tabs on iPad so I remember they are there. Again see the music app. I know you can swipe between pages in the player profile but thats a lot of swiping!
- Lists don't use the native iOS scrolling (rubber banding, momentum scrolling) so feel unresponsive compared to the standard iPad interface.
- Little things, such as the text on the (BIG!) toggle switches not being quite aligned, make the interface feel unfinished.
- Swiping doesn't track your finger. This is probably considered a minor thing but to me it's these little things that make touch apps feel alive. One of the great things about iOS is that it feels like you are directly manipulating the interface rather than giving it commands. If the interface doesn't track your finger it falls back to being a 'command' to the machine rather than directly manipulating it which removes that feeling of control.
To me it still feels like a blown up version of the PSP game rather than an interface designed specifically to take advantage of the iPad screen space and standard iOS interface elements. I'm sure that a lot of this is due to the team being small and there being other priorities. I think I also read a lot of the code is shared between the iOS and PSP versions so as a non-programmer I don't' know how this works and if the exact same UI elements have to be shared between them as well. The lists in particular stand out as feeling wrong though when scrolling through them on an iOS device but I found them fine when I had the PSP version when it first came out a few years ago.
I'll still buy the iOS version for my iPad as soon as it comes out and I'm sure I'll enjoy it again, but making it feel a bit smoother and iOS native at some point would be great
Probably the main feature I'd like to see on the iPhone/iPad version is dropbox (or similar) integration. I own both an iPhone and an iPad and would like to be able to transfer the save file easily between the two. I usually play on the iPhone whilst commuting to work, but I'd love to use the larger iPad once home.
Hi Alari, any news on the release date? December very soon and still no update? Will it actually be around before Xmas?
No more news yet, it's still scheduled to be available before Christmas. Hopefully we'll be able to give you some more information in the not-too-distant future but lips are still sealed for now!
But what if the Grinch steals Christmas?
I check the App Store daily to see if 2012 has been released! Is there any link on the new version coming out and the 2011 version jumping in price to £8.99? Just a thought.
Is there going to be any improvements on the last version or is it just going to be a player update??
Thanks! Looking forward to it.. By the way, when is it released??
Please release prior to Dec 21! I'll be flying back to the UK to visit the family for Christmas, and would love this for the flight, although, not sure the wife will be thrilled!
Hey quick question... not intending to start any arguements with anyone at SI (but thought i'd ask the question) but why is Rockstar allowed to announce release dates/screenshots/info on their products?
Each company does things differently, that is pretty much the explanation.

DAYTONA BEACH — A woman angry with her live-in boyfriend grabbed his clothes, threw them in a bathtub and set them ablaze, Daytona Beach police said.
And while Jessica Coyle admitted to police that she had done a "stupid thing," her admission also got her arrested and charged with first-degree arson, a report shows.
Coyle told officers she had argued with her boyfriend Richard Johnson just before 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday and he left their residence at the 100 block of Taylor Avenue.
There were four children in the house who stayed behind, the report shows.
That's when Coyle, 28, grabbed some of Johnson's clothes, threw them in a tub and doused them with gasoline, the report shows. She set the pile of clothing on fire, but became alarmed when the flames quickly rose and grew into a large inferno, the report shows. Coyle tried to put out the blaze and it was contained to the bathroom, police said. However, the walls and ceilings of both the bathroom and an adjoining hallway were damaged and blackened by smoke.
The four youngsters who witnessed the incident were standing outside when police and firefighters arrived at the residence, the report shows.
The Department of Children & Families was advised of the incident, the report shows.
Coyle, charged with arson of a dwelling and culpable negligence, was released from the Volusia County Branch Jail on Wednesday on $2,000 bail.

Phase II: Now what?

Lake County, Ill., authorities knew what they had to get done: take care of the county's multiple streams, lakes, wetlands, and floodplains. Since nearly 20% of the county is made up of these water resources, groundwater and stormwater management has always been stringent.
Long before the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Phase II of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) went into affect on March 10, 2003, Lake County was doing its part to keeps its waters clean. In 1987, following two presidential declared flood disasters, state legislation enabled Lake County officials to create the Stormwater Management Commission (SMC).
"We are essentially a cooperative working group," says Scott Paszkiewicz, watershed planner with the Lake County SMC. The SMC provides support services to 60 communities in the far northeast portion of Illinois. A committee meets monthly to discuss community and county activities. On an annual basis, it sets goals and objectives, and hires a consultant to put together an annual report, detailing the progress SMC has made on meeting the NPDES six minimum control measures. Each community is then responsible for adding its activities and submitting individual reports to the state EPA.
Unlike a municipality that holds a permit, the SMC is strictly a facilitator. Funded by about $2 million in annual property taxes, the SMC acts as a coordinating body to help the municipalities meet the EPA's requirements.
The task isn't easy, says Paszkiewicz. Since the commission isn't an intermediary between the state EPA and the municipalities, it doesn't necessarily see the end result of its work. Because each municipality has responsibility in reporting for its permit, the SMC falls out of the picture. "We believe we're moving in the right direction, but rely on the municipalities and state for feedback," says Paszkiewicz.
His concerns are echoed by many Phase II permit holders. Phase II requirements affect urban areas in municipalities that have regulated small municipal separate storm sewer systems, also known as MS4s. Under Phase II, these communities were instructed by the EPA to develop stormwater programs that address six minimum control measures. Unless you're specifically reprimanded by the EPA, how do you know if your plan is successful?
"We're all learning," says Jenny Molloy, a biologist in the EPA's municipal stormwater program in Washington, D.C. Since this is a relatively new program, there are few cut-and-dry rules, leading municipalities to interpret the six minimum control measures differently.
Molloy recommends that MS4s work closely with their permitting authorities, most of which are at the state level. "They provide technical assistance to those who make an earnest effort," she says.
Whether it's a lone municipality or a group of municipalities—known as an urbanized area—that must meet these requirements, communication is key. The SMC, for example, helps facilitate this discussion between all of the permitted agencies in Lake County. But what if you don't have a commission like this?
"It's commitment to water quality versus compliance to regulations," says Paszkiewicz. "Some communities are committed to water quality, so compliance will follow that." If you've already committed resources and money to ensuring that stormwater is handled correctly, this permit—or the next one—should move the community toward real water quality improvement.
Some stormwater agencies feel that NPDES is a paper exercise, and should be easy to perform if you're already committed to the process.
Michael Burwell, supervisor in the planning and environmental section of Tampa's stormwater department, agrees. "Do it yourself and you'll learn things you need to know," he says. His municipality, which is a Phase I community, started the process in 1991. It took many months to put together the appropriate materials, and was "comprehensive, but not complicated."

Most workers now in their 50s and 60s started their careers on the bottom rungs of a ladder. They expected to climb steadily, finish at the top and declare success.
That was then.
These days, career ladders are being replaced by career lattices, either by design (the rise of teams) or by default (layoffs and shrinking industries).
Unlike up-or-off ladders, lattices are diagonal frameworks that offer a range of potential next moves for workers. On the lattice, when you make a lateral move, you aren't being pushed aside. Instead, you're getting a chance to cultivate new, related skills and experiences that can position you for a traditional promotion or a different job altogether.
Over Is the New Up
The ability to lattice to adjacent positions will be the defining career skill of the next two decades. In other words, "over" is the new "up."
The research that grounds my new book, The Career Lattice, indicates that about 30 percent of American employers currently offer some sort of purposeful lateral career moves, even if they don't use the term "lattice."
(MORE: Why You Need a 'Reverse Mentor' at Work)
But whether your company offers a formal lattice system or not, one thing is for sure: Late-career lateral moves are emerging as a tactic to free up coveted promotions for Gen Xers while mining the experience of baby boomers who still have a lot to give.
That means you probably have two choices as an employee: Start plotting a lateral move now or wait for it to be plotted for you. By understanding your employers' talent needs, you can map a lateral strategy that'll be good for you and your boss.

An option to trenchless construction
Trench boxes shore up excavation for sewer pipeline relocation across Saucon Creek in Bethlehem, Pa.
Excavator backfilling trench after pipeline placement.
The 48-inch steel carrier pipe was installed in two phases, each spanning half the creek at a time. A Portadam cofferdam temporarily redirected the flow of water, while the Monroeville, N.J., branch of Rain for Rent dewatered and maintained inflow infiltration. The process was repeated from the opposite side of the stream.
Excavator supports trench shoring operation during pipeline crossing/relocation.
This is the story of how public agencies can collaborate to resolve environmental challenges in ways that are acceptable—and cost-effective—for both.
The Pennsylvania DOT (PennDOT) is adding two lanes to four miles of state highway in Northampton County, a stretch that includes a bridge over Saucon Creek in the City of Bethlehem. Widening the bridge required more than 900 lineal feet of city-owned sanitary sewer to be relocated.
The plan was to bury 48-inch steel carrier pipe beneath the creek bed and run the 30-inch sewer pipe through it. However, the creek is considered a high-quality watershed and home to native species of trout. Construction calendar restrictions for spawning had to be observed.
At bid time, engineers expected to install the pipe via trenchless jack-and-bore construction consisting of two large pits made of steel sheet piling. Though effective, it was also one of the most expensive installation options. Any unanticipated challenge, such as encountering bedrock, would further complicate and delay the work. Other trenchless methodologies, such as directional drilling, were also cost-prohibitive.
There was one other option: Temporarily move the water out of the way to provide a dry work space and bury the pipe via traditional open cut construction.
"We've physically moved a creek before, but not to this scale," says City of Bethlehem Engineering Assistant Bob Deutsch. The crossing was 150 linear feet.
Project owner: Pennsylvania DOT
Sewer pipeline relocation: HRI Inc.
Cofferdam design and installation: Portadam Inc.
Dewatering: Rain for Rent
Timeline: Sept. 1–15, 2013
After being brought up to speed on project specifications, contractual requirements, in-stream calendar restrictions, design and permitting requirements, and constructability concerns, Portadam provided HRI with schematics for configuring the coffer dam.
The pipeline would be buried in two phases: A cofferdam would provide a dry worksite for installation halfway across the creek; then dismantled and reconfigured for the other half. Rain for Rent would dewater the cofferdam and ensure the worksite stayed dry.
Even though it was only an idea on paper, HRI decided to implement the concept.
"We envisioned building a three-sided box," says Portadam National Sales Manager Gerry Mann. "We'd go 60% to 70% out across the stream and run parallel 35 feet to 50 feet."
Large frames for the boxes had to be floated out and placed into position in the streambed.
"It was sort of like building an erector set while floating around in the water," Mann says. "Rocks and debris on the streambed had to be cleared before construction of the cofferdam to ensure a sound seal, so we sent in divers."
Rain for Rent's biggest challenge was managing 197,000 gallons more per minute than expected. The company provided 4- and 6-inch Power Prime diesel-powered, trailer-mounted pumps, but submitted a change order for another 6-inch pump and extra hoses to dewater in five to six hours.
Time constraints were tight, but the project was completed within the anticipated two-week time frame.
"The options were essentially renting or buying steel sheet piling and installing a coffer dam," says HRI Senior Project Manager Eric Klimas, PE. "Portadam was by far much faster to install and remove. Since we only rented for a short period of time, the cost of performing this work was drastically decreased by minimizing labor, equipment, and materials. This application may not be best suited everywhere, but this instance made me realize that a coffer dam is a viable, cost-effective alternative to more traditional construction methods."
"It was a very interesting solution and did a great job of keeping water out of the area we needed to work in," says the City of Bethlehem's Bob Deutsch. "From an engineering point of view, any time you have to divert a body of water that's been flowing for a number of years, and do it without disrupting or disturbing anything, it's an amazing feat.
"This solution was well-coordinated, constructed efficiently and, overall, very impressive."

yes sir that looked like the keystone cops in action. what i cant square away is this. the cabin scene was an all out spray and pray, they lit up 2 older ladies in a truck and almost did on another truck. seems like over kill for one guy. its almost like they we hell bent on taking him out. there has got to be more to this story. something aint right here. dead men cant testify. i am wondering if the bozo that tossed the grenade didnt use something like WP. not too long after the cabin went up in smoke.
dont even get me started on the shoot out. my 17 and 14 y/o have better trigger and muzzle discipline. the guys behind the truck just seemed to be shooting at nothing. looks very theatrical to me.

Spotlight for Career Services ProfessionalsJuly 24, 2013
During the upcoming NACE Social Media Mashup, NACE will introduce a series of "train the trainer" guides for career services practitioners to use to help college students use different social media effectively in their job searches. Following is an excerpt of the "Career Counselor Guide to LinkedIn" by Kevin Grubb, an assistant director at the career center of Villanova University.
LinkedIn has often been referred to as "your resume online." This assertion is not far off, as there are many similarities between a LinkedIn profile and a resume. As such, some of the points covered here may sound like your advice to students about resume writing. However, where there are differences in the two is where it is critical to pay attention.
At the top of a LinkedIn profile is a small box containing some of what I'd call the "fast facts" about each user. Since this box is likely the first thing that another LinkedIn user would see when landing on a LinkedIn profile, this box is incredibly important real estate. Here are some tips for students to make the most of it:
NACE's Social Media Mashup will be held August 22 and 23 in San Jose, California. For more information, see www.naceweb.org/events/social-media-mashup.aspx

Home > Our Impact > Disaster Relief
More than 90 percent of natural disaster-related deaths occur in developing countries, where poverty and lack of resources exacerbate the suffering. We work in many of these countries, preparing for disasters before they happen, and responding quickly when they do. These accomplishments represent some of our 2014 impact:
major disasters and humanitarian emergencies responded to globally
Thanks to the support of World Vision donors all around the world.
worth of relief goods in global warehouses ready for immediate disaster response
Thanks to the support of World Vision donors all around the world.
disaster survivors, refugees, and internally displaced people received assistance
Thanks to the support of World Vision donors all around the world.
On January 12, 2010, a 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck Haiti, affecting more than 3 million people — one of every three. The quake killed 222,570 people and injured more than 300,000. More than 1 million people were left homeless and vulnerable. World Vision's initial response efforts focused on the basics: food, shelter, water, and sanitation. Health clinics were set up to help care for the injured, and hospitals were stocked with medicines and equipment. After one year, emergency supplies were still being distributed to families. Two years later, World Vision is helping Haitian families rebuild lives and recover livelihoods.
When a 9.0-magnitude earthquake struck off the northeast coast of Japan on March 11, 2011, a tsunami some 40 meters (133 feet) high was triggered. More than 15,000 people were killed, 300,000 were evacuated, and 3,100 people are still unaccounted for. A nuclear emergency was triggered in the Fukushima area. World Vision supported earthquake- and tsunami-affected communities with relief items; established community kitchens in evacuation centers; and set up Child-Friendly Spaces. The current recovery and rehabilitation phase of the response also incorporates an expansion of support to children; the recovery of livelihoods in the fishing industry; child-focused disaster preparedness; and support to Fukushima evacuees.
When disaster strikes, World Vision adopts a "first-in, last-out" approach: We first respond with life-saving emergency aid, and then we stay for the long term to help families recover and rebuild.
Over the following month, we work to help families stabilize by providing assistance with temporary shelter, water, sanitation and hygiene, child protection activities, healthcare, and economic opportunities.
We are quick to respond to disasters, but we also focus on helping to rebuild the lives of disaster-affected families and communities over the long term. Large-scale disasters often leave hundreds of thousands of people homeless and vulnerable.
While emergency relief is necessary and saves lives, it is not enough. We help disaster survivors by assisting their transition from relief mode to recovery and rebuilding mode. This recovery and rebuilding phase involves a transition to permanent housing, clean water, sustainable sources of food, access to education, and re-established livelihoods.
World Vision's Global Rapid Response Team brings together international disaster experts from around the world, who are deployed within hours of a major emergency to support local teams and communities. The global rapid response team includes relief managers, program officers, and specialists in health and nutrition, human resources, finance, logistics, security, food aid, child protection, information technology, and communications — all working as a team to provide effective emergency relief.
In a large-scale response, World Vision collaborates with the United Nations and other local aid agencies. This collaboration helps avoid duplication, maximize efficiencies, ensure all needs are met, and eliminate gaps in humanitarian response.
Having a disaster response fund ready to use, pre-positioning supplies like non-food items, and having staff prepared and trained to respond to emergencies is increasingly important to how we respond to disasters.
The global pre-positioning resource network is our designated team that makes sure we're prepared to respond rapidly to any disaster anywhere in the world. The team pre-positions the supplies and develops preparedness plans, programming standards, logistic assessments, and logistic plans. The supplies are ready to go in seven different warehouses that are strategically located all around the world. These relief supplies are ready for up to 225,000 beneficiaries at any time, ensuring that those affected by disasters will have emergency supplies distributed to them quickly and efficiently.
