The UW Daily
While most students last spring were kicking back in the sun, finishing their last finals and polishing summer break plans, one student-athlete was preparing for what was to be the biggest race of his life. Last spring, senior Ryan Brown ran past the leaders one by one in the finals of the men's 800-meter at the NCAA Track and Field championships to win a national title.
"The fact that I won was great; I still can't believe it," Brown said.
After only starting track and field his senior year of high school and then walking away from it again during his sophomore year of college, others probably joined Brown in his disbelief after he had won at the NCAA's.
Born in Baltimore, Md., Ryan moved to Washington in ninth grade because his mother wanted him to live in a place with a better school system. He moved to Renton to live with his older brother.
At Renton High School, Brown tried a lot of different sports before finally settling on running. His senior year he even took a break from the land and earned a varsity letter in swimming.
"I did the 100 backstroke. It was a lot of fun but I was horrible at it," Brown said. "I used to get pity claps. It was good to be really bad at something and then really good at something else though -- it put it in perspective."
Surprisingly, Brown's lack of talent in the pool was not what made him decide to quit swimming and take up track and field.
"Basically this girl that I liked did track, so that's why I joined," Brown. "She would always say if it wasn't for her I would have never been a track star."
Thanks to her, Brown graduated high school and started off his star-studded track career at the UW. After going undefeated in the 800-meter his senior year and winning a state championship in the event, Brown was only recruited by Washington State. However, still getting adjusted to Seattle and not wanting a big change again, this future national champion decided to walk onto the Husky team.
"I knew I had a spot because I had won high school state championships, but I still wanted to prove myself," Brown said.
But proving himself turned out to be more than Brown had bargained for. After an above-average freshman season, he quit the sport his sophomore year.
"It kicked my ass," Brown said. "It was a big jump from one year of high school track to Division I track. I was just always tired."
That was when fifth-year track coach Greg Metcalf really stepped in. After Brown set the UW freshman record in the 800-meter and was a vital leg on the 4x400 and distance medley relay, Metcalf knew this walk-on had a lot of potential.
"After his first race as a freshman I knew he was going to be good," Metcalf said. "It was too stressful for Ryan at first; it didn't match his personality. He just needed to take a step back and come back on his own terms."
Brown himself even began to realize the kind of talent he possessed and started having second thoughts about his decision.
"I had a pretty good freshman season and thought maybe I was wasting a lot of potential by quitting," he said.
Brown stepped onto the track again and rejoined his teammates for the 2004-05 season. It was then he really proved to himself and everyone else what he was wasting the previous year. He capped off his season with a Pac-10 and NCAA West Regional title in the 800 and earned two All-American honors in the process.
As his junior season of track and field rolled around, winning a national championship would only be the icing on the cake for Brown. But, after suffering from a minor injury and not having the kind of regular season he had hoped for, he was a little unsure of himself going into the NCAA meet held in Sacramento, Calif., in June.
"I just wanted to make a final," Brown said. "I didn't think I could win. I get super nervous before a race, but Metcalf gave me a lot of encouragement."
Metcalf helped calm his nerves by talking to him in the van ride to the meet.
"I reminded him of everything he's done so far to help build his confidence," Metcalf said. "He just has to focus on the things he can control. When it gets right down to race time, he is much better at handling his nerves."
At race time Brown was in sixth at the 400-meter mark with the leaders three meters ahead of him. With 150 meters to go, he made his move; stepping to the outside of lane one and passing the leaders at the 100-meter mark. From there he unleashed the famous "finishing kick" that propelled him to his Pac-10 and NCAA West Regional titles the previous year. He won the race by two meters, a lot concerning the length and speed of the event.
From the stands, his friend and training partner Austin Abbott saw the whole race play out.
"When there was 200 meters left in the race I knew he was going to win," Abbott said. "Watching the way Ryan ran the race, I'm not surprised he won."
Not quite done competing yet, Brown spent the early days of his summer traveling to Indianapolis, Ind., to compete in the USA Championships and then to the Dominican Republic to represent Team USA at the 2006 North America, Central America and Caribbean Athletic Association Championships.
"It was really cool there, with the beach and everything," Brown said. "It was not as island as I had thought it would be though; it was a real Third World country."
Now back from his travels and having just completed a training season with the cross country team in the fall, Brown said he is back for his final track and field season with the Huskies. Already having completed a biology degree and just taking a few classes now to remain eligible for track, Brown is ready to commit most of his time to the sport.
He admits that this season he feels a little more pressure, but plans to deal with it by trying some new events.
"I want to do the mile so I can be the underdog again," Brown said. "The expectation will be a little lower then."
Brown fans need not worry, as he will still be seen in his signature event this season. With Pac-10, NCAA West Regional and NCAA titles under his belt, he plans on finishing off the progression by making finals at the USA Championships.
"My goal is to run one minute, 45 seconds or better this year," Brown said. "I want to do well so people won't think my race last year was a fluke."
So far, this student who is hailed as one of the most decorated athletes in Husky history is just trying to enjoy his last year of college and being a collegiate athlete. When Brown is not out on the track practicing with his teammates -- such as Abbott, who Brown claims "is going to take over the track world" with him -- he can be found hanging out in his apartment like a normal student. A true competitor in all aspects, Brown even brings the same intensity to one of his favorite pastimes as he does on the track.
"He is really intense about video games," Abbott said. "If he is losing he will just turn it off."
Whenever Brown finds himself acting like a normal student, he has a reminder of what makes him a little different from most of us. It sits on top of his fireplace with the word "champion" engraved in gold.

CNN reports that actress Ann B. Davis has died today. The 88-year-old actress will forever be known for her role as housekeeper Alice Nelson on the "Brady Bunch." Bishop William Frey, a close friend, confirmed that she fell in her bathroom and hit her head. She suffered a subdural hematoma and never woke up. From 1969 – 1974, the "Brady Bunch" appeared in living rooms all across America. The show will live forever in reruns.
Davis will always be remembered for her blue dress, apron and her funny one-liners. She also appeared in every episode of the Brady Bunch. Florence Henderson, who starred as Carol Brady posted on her Facebook page that she was devastated to hear about Davis' passing. She said they had spoken recently.
She had won two Emmy awards for her work on "The Bob Cummings show." She also earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Bishop Frey said that Davis was similar to her Brady Bunch character and was a devout Christian. Davis also appeared as Alice in several Brady Bunch specials and made a guest appearance as a truck driver in a 1995 "Brady Bunch" remake. She also released a cookbook in 1994 called Alice's Brady Bunch Cookbook. According to her IMDb profile, Davis had originally planned to attend medical school. Instead, she decided to become an actress after watching her older brother's performance of Oklahoma.
Ann Bradford Davis was Born in Schenectady, New York, and graduated from Strong Vincent High School. She then graduated from the University of Michigan in 1948 with a degree in Drama and Speech. She had retired from acting and lived near San Antonio, Texas, where she committed her days to prayer, Bible study and some charity work. The TV Guide website states that Davis sold Christmas cards after she originally moved to Hollywood. She also appeared in commercials for Ford, Minute Rice and the Swiffer disposable mop.

I figured it was time to make an update journal, since the last one was over a year ago.
I was fiddling with the idea of restarting the Original Character Challenge, but I've decided it was easier just to start from scratch. A lot of my characters need to be revamped or redesigned. Many of them just need to be scrapped. School is starting soon, so I doubt I'll start it soon. Still, I have ideas. Turn all my Mario fan characters from humans into Paper Mario-esque partners or NPC roles; remove all of my Pokemon characters except for one; switch some fan characters around to different fan communities or original projects; that sort of thing. I'm also cutting some projects I no longer hold interest in.
I'm giving up on the 100 Art Challenge. I didn't draw it the first time, and I highly doubt I'm going to do anything with it.
I'm attempting another close-friend Christmas gift set, but that's only if I have enough time.
I'm going to do a little spring cleaning with groups and art. I'm also going to do a large overhaul of my DA profile, so expect things to be a little clunky in the coming months.
Aside from that, just expect sporadic stories and Animal Crossing related fanart.

Bringing Dark Ages to the streets of Sydney
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- September 18, 2012
THE most repugnant aspect of the protests by radical Islamists in Sydney was that it provided a terrifying insight into the workings of intergenerational hatred.
Normal parents go out of their way to shield their kids from repellent images and distressing concepts. If your kids happen to see footage of passenger jets being flown into buildings, or a pile of bodies lying on a war-torn street, it is normal to tell them it is nothing and change the channels.
If your child happened to ask you what beheading was, you would change the subject.
Happily, children are not even aware of the hideous concept.
Except in Sydney, on Saturday, where a bunch of kids under the age of 10 paraded through the CBD with placards kindly made for them by grown-ups, saying the enemies of Allah should have their heads chopped off.
If the reaction to the YouTube film were not so violent and so disturbing in its ramifications you could dismiss it as the most scathing movie review of all time.
Nothing about it has been remotely amusing. We have seen buildings torched across the Middle East, crazed crowds laying siege to American embassies throughout the western world, including in Australia where bottles and punches were thrown at police in broad daylight in Sydney.
The only reassuring aspect to this whole affair was the swift and unequivocal condemnation from pretty much every key Islamic organisation in Australia.
The quotes are worth repeating. They have been hearteningly free of the excuses and double-speak which have undermined past public commentary from fellows such as Keysar Trad whenever relations have been tested by reprehensible conduct from the radicals in our midst, or dopey outbursts from the likes of Sheik Hilaly.
In the past 48 hours, Samier Dandan from the Lebanese Muslim Association said "the violence that took place is not only condemned by the Lebanese Muslim Association but is condemned by all the Lebanese associations". Khaled Sukkarieh of the Islamic Council of New South Wales described the violence as "the action of boofheads". Mahaa Abodo from United Muslim Women said "what happened yesterday was un-Islamic".
It was condemned by the Affinity Foundation, the Turkish Muslim Association, and so on. There were some significant exceptions, such as those charmers at Hizb ut Tahrir, who were probably too busy at Sunday's "Khilafah" conference in the Sydney suburb of Bankstown predicting the rise of a global Islamic government to condemn their brothers for bashing Australian police.
They deny having had a role in the protest but their criticism of it has been at best equivocal.
If the reaction has confirmed that most Australian Muslims are appalled by this violence and the organisations which represent them are getting better at swiftly denouncing such conduct, the episode is also a reminder that, like so many other countries, we have a serious problem with an extremist Muslim hardcore in our suburbs.
There have been calls for the people responsible for the violence to be deported.
This would be terrific if they were neither Australian citizens nor permanent residents. Their actions would absolutely justify their immediate departure.
It is hard to imagine greater ingratitude from people who have sought refuge in Australia because of its quality of life, its social cohesion and its peace, for them to then turn around and behave in the most abominably anti-social way.
The reality, however, is many of these protesters were probably born here, and probably in the type of family environment where dragging your kid along to a protest advocating beheadings isn't seen as aberrant or appalling.
While the leaders of the world's democracies have been as one in condemning the violence, there is one feature of their rhetoric which is deeply irksome.
That is the vehemence with which so many of them have denounced a film which they probably haven't seen, and which none of us are ever likely to see.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton described the movie as "sinister", Prime Minister Julia Gillard called it "repulsive".
By bandying about these adjectives Western leaders are creating excuses and even encouraging the anger which is felt in the Muslim world.
The message to anyone who is offended by it should be: so what, get over it. The answer to the (apparent) problem of impolite filmmaking shouldn't be tougher vilification laws or police investigations, but a clear message to the more unhinged practitioners of Islam that they should grow up.
There have been plenty of provocative or offensive or edgy depictions of Christ and Christianity throughout the modern age, from Life of Brian to The Last Temptation of Christ to that unpleasant painting with the charming name of Piss Christ. The world's Christians have got through it without burning buildings or cracking police skulls.
It might be impolite to say it but the past week has confirmed the view that, at its most radical, Islam is a few centuries behind the other faiths in the enlightenment stakes.
None of us should apologise for subscribing to post-Enlightenment principles such as free speech, even if that speech causes distress to those who lack the maturity to brush it off and get on with life.

When digital sales hit a record in the video game industry, good things tend to happen as margins expand. Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ:ATVI), generated 68% (a record) of its $772 million in non-GAAP revenue from digital sales in its latest quarter. That enabled it to blow past the Street estimate of $0.10 in non-GAAP earnings per share -- Activision Blizzard instead posted EPS of $0.19 and beat revenue estimates by $84 million, which sent shares up 7% the next day.
A beat and a raise
Along with the bullish quarterly earnings beat, Activision Blizzard raised its full-year outlook. The video game maker now expects to post $4.675 billion in non-GAAP revenue and $1.27 in non-GAAP earnings per share, up marginally from its previous expectation for $4.6 billion in revenue and EPS of $1.26.
While this is a small revision, it is a big testament to where management sees Activision Blizzard heading over the year. If the company can beat estimates now, imagine what it is capable of once the holiday season rolls around.
World of Warcraft subscriptions fell by 200,000, to 7.6 million, but a new game expansion expected in the second half of this year could boost that number. Until then, the subscriber count will keep trending lower. To keep the cash cow alive, Activision Blizzard leveraged the success of WoW by making a card game out of it.
Any good video game company needs a solid pipeline of offerings to ensure it maintains an otherwise stable cash flow. For shareholders, there is plenty to like in Activision Blizzard's product pipeline this year.
On the mobile gaming front, Activision Blizzard in March released Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, which has over 10 million registered users so far. Hearthstone is available for the PC and iPad, but later in the year it will also become available to iPhones and Android-powered smartphones.
Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft is a card game that uses elements from the Warcraft franchise, and the free-to-play product offers Activision Blizzard an opportunity to take a chunk of the mobile gaming market. By offering the game on almost every mobile device (sorry Windows), Activision Blizzard can leverage its 10 million-plus registered user base to generate high-margin income from microtransactions.
Destined for success
It's no coincidence that Activision Blizzard plans on plunking down millions in marketing to showcase its new potential blockbuster, Destiny. The game was developed by Bungie, the company that made the top-selling Halo franchise, which has sold over 50 million copies so far on the Xbox and Xbox 360. Destiny will be available on both the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4, which will give Activision Blizzard the best chance at another multibillion-dollar gaming franchise.
Destiny's pre-order numbers are pointing toward a record for a new game, a testament to the pent-up demand for this title launching on Sept. 9. By investing millions into marketing and advertising Destiny, Activision Blizzard hopes to recreate the success story of Call of Duty and give it two blockbuster franchises in the first-person shooter realm. It remains too early to see if Activision Blizzard will get its wish, but high pre-order numbers paint a promising picture for shareholders.
Foolish conclusion
Activision Blizzard posted another great quarter and was able to pay off $375 million of its debt. The company should have another good year in 2014, as it continues to do what works (Call of Duty iterations, WoW expansions) while focusing on building out new franchises and creating new sources of revenue (Destiny, Hearthstone). Due to its rock-solid fundamentals, stable 1% dividend, and concrete pipeline of great offerings, Activision Blizzard is prepared to ride the waves of next-generation consoles and mobile gaming, showering down great returns to those who are patient.

If you're on Firefox and using the toolbar, there is SUPPOSED to be a menu triggered by hovering over the highlight. I'm having trouble with it too.

Sorry. It's just a bug. I created a highlight that won't allow the pop up menu for some reason. Other new highlights I create have it and then I can delete the highlights. I guess my request should have been for more reliable highlighting. And how do I get rid of a highlight if the menu bubble won't pop up when I hover over it.

Super GT

Rear quarter view; with an open top)
A Super GT in GTA 4.
[[Appearance::GTA San Andreas
|Vehicle type
|Civilian car
|Body style
|2-door sports car
|Dewbauchee (GTA IV)
The Super GT is a sports car in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto IV.
GTA San Andreas
In GTA San Andreas, the Super GT is based on a 1993 Mitsubishi 3000GT with the back of a 1993 Toyota Supra. The Super GT can be modified at TransFender garages. There are also two versions of this car; a hardtop and a targa top.
It is also one the most expensive cars to import in GTA San Andreas together with the Bullet and the Cheetah, cashing in at $84,000. However, the player is awarded $105,000 when he exports the car in mint condition.
In GTA IV, the Super GT (branded as a Dewbauchee car, although police radio chatter refers the Super GT as a Pfister) is an amalgamation of two or three sports cars. The front and side profiles appear to share design cues from both a modern Aston Martin DB9 and a Maserati GranTurismo, while the rear resembles that of a Ferrari 612. GTA IV's Super GT seems to be powered by a turbocharged 6 cylinder, as it shares an engine tone with the Comet. The Super GT may also be available with differing hood designs, either featuring a relatively smooth hood, or one with a low U-shaped ridge.
The F620 in The Ballad of Gay Tony shares some similarities to the Super GT.
GTA San Andreas
Acceleration and top speed are among the best in this game, but the handling is poor, especially at high speeds. The Super GT tends to fishtail wildly when using the E-brake around corners.
In GTA IV, the Super GT is the fifth-fastest in the game with a top speed is 200 mph (320km/t), and the acceleration and speed of the Super GT are superior to many other cars in the game. The distinct sound of a turbocharger can be heard at higher RPMs, which separates it from the other supercars. The Super GT is an excellent choice for its speed and for its brakes, which are powerful and don't lock up very easily. Also, because of its high horsepower to torque ratio, the car can easily be slid into a drift by a single tap of the E-Brake (at moderate enough speeds); making the Super GT a great choice for drifting.
The car's rank in performance is pushed further back with the introduction of faster sport cars in subsequent GTA IV episodes.
Prominent appearances in missions
During a car chase in one of Bernie Crane's missions, the Russian criminals drives a Super GT, while the character most likely drives a Turismo, as it is the car parked in front of Bernie's house. At the climax of the mission, the Russians hit a curb and crash their car, forcing you to get out of your Turismo and take them out on foot. Once they are dealt with you can steal the Super GT for yourself and save it. For its paintjob, it has a deep metallic version of one of five colors: gray, blue, red, green, or pink, all of which are unique. It may or may not come with a hood ridge.
Another Super GT is also obtainable outside in the mission "Trespass", being located at the main entrance of the abandoned Sprunk factory where you must find and kill Chubby Charlie. However if you complete the mission, and do not collect the car, it will disappear.
As a part of the Text Message Car Missions from Stevie, he will ask you to procure one parked in front of the "69 Exchange" in The Exchange, Algonquin. Before taking it to Stevie's garage, save it in one of your parking spots and wait for another to re-spawn. Then take the re-spawn to Stevie.
Modifications (GTA San Andreas)
It can only be modified at TransFender garages:
- Color
- Nitro (2X only)
- Wheels
- Hydraulics
- The Super GT plays the following radio stations by default when entered:
- CSR 103.9 in GTA San Andreas.
- Electro-Choc or Radio Broker in GTA IV.
- The Bullet GT replaces the Super GT in The Ballad of Gay Tony multiplayer Race/GTA Race.
- It is ironic when upon close inspection the Super GT shares the engine cosmetics with the Stratum although the Stratum appears to have an air filter and a turbocharger fitted.
- The Super GT is one of the two most expensive cars in GTA IV, the other one being the Turismo.
- In the BradyGames guide; Episodes From Liberty City, it mistakenly says that the Super GT is a new vehicle.
- Russian Mafia in GTA IV sometimes uses Super GT in missions, like Union Drive and Trespass.
GTA San Andreas
- Outside the Driving School in Doherty, San Fierro after achieving bronze for all the challenges, constantly appearing with a maroon body.
- Behind the Control Tower at Easter Bay International Airport, San Fierro (usually locked)
- Spawns on The Strip, Las Venturas
- Driving around in the evening in Rodeo, Los Santos
- Importable from Easter Basin docks in San Fierro after completing export lists. Import cost: $84,000 (Tuesday only)
The Super GT in GTA IV is notably rare, being mostly available in specific missions (see #Prominent appearances in missions or Multiplayer modes, or by using a cheat code:
- Can very easily and lots of them can spawn if you are driving one.
- Can be found on the street next to the Bank of Liberty in The Exchange, Algonquin, for Stevie's Car Thefts.
- Can be Spawned around Star Junction and The Triangle, Algonquin, Liberty City.
- Obtainable during Union Drive.
- If you compete in Brucie's races early on, it is likely that you will see it in at least one them. You can kill the driver and steal it but you will cancel the race and your favor with Brucie will go down 3 percent.
- Spawn in traffic in Multiplayer in GTA IV.
- Can be spawned by dialing (227)-555-0168 on your phone. This does not affect any achievements.

Volume: 27 Issue: 2 (Feb 2004)
A New Hybrid
A: First, the premise that the CG characters came out of a video game means they don't have to look or act real. Second, the character design is so distinctive that the good and evil qualities of the CG characters are quickly relayed to the audience. Third, the dialog between the two types of characters feels natural because they realize they are in a bizarre situation and they try to adapt to it in their own way.
A: We started out being cautious because we didn't know what the potential of the CG characters was, and we didn't know how convincing the live actors would be interacting with an empty space. But after seeing the characters in action together, we began to think of them as being the same and treated them accordingly.
A: We plan to increase the interaction between the human and the CG characters. Putting them into the same scene is one thing, but having a CG character pick up a human, for example, and dangle him by his shirt collar is something else.
A: Gollum from
The Lord of the Rings
is the benchmark for live-action/CG interaction. And I don't see any reason why the same standard couldn't be achieved in weekly television because of the extraordinary advances that have been made in computer animation, and because shooting hybrid shows is a relatively simple process. The biggest drawback, which is a budget issue, is the amount of time it takes to do the animation once the live action has been shot.
A: The directors on both sides need to understand the processes and limitations of each other's work. It's important to have a strong production team that doesn't favor one side over the other and gets them to work in tandem. For example, if the animation boards are too ambitious, then the live-action director won't be able to shoot them within his schedule. Conversely, if the live-action director doesn't follow the boards, the animation director won't be able to properly animate to them and fulfill his vision. It's the producer's job to make it all fit together and appear seamless.
A: I'm developing another CG/live-action hybrid based on the premise of what would have happened if the dinosaurs had continued to evolve. In it, they've returned to Earth and want their planet back. That's all I can say for now.
A: Yes. Its success would have more to do with the series premise and the traditional elements of storytelling than with the use of CG. It cannot exist primarily because it's a CG/live-action mix.
A: Making the entire half-hour show into a unified story. Whereas the CG elements were the "A story," we had to make sure that the live-action segments, the "B story," somehow reflected and fit together so that the two complemented each other and were seamless.

Contributors, legislators, go both ways
First, the legislators. When Representatives Kaufert (R-Neenah) and Montgomery (R-Green Bay) visited Speaker Huebsch last Thursday, constituents eyebrows went up and a bit of panic set in. Are these guys throwing in the budget towel? Well, yeah, thats exactly what it looks like from this quarter. The
Journal Sentinel writes
they felt the pressure to stop December property tax bills from going up unnecessarily. Kaufert is quoted as saying People will be mad as hell and I told them, Im not taking that shot.
Give me a break. As
I shared Friday
, property taxpayers would be asked to take a $25 hit. And for that Kaufert apparently supports a $1 cigarette tax raising hundreds of millions of dollars and $200 million illegally pulled from the Patients Compensation Fund. Doesnt want to take the shot. Hmmm. Courageous? That just doesnt sit too well with me.
And contributors go both ways
Friday, Stephen Moore did a
for the Wall Street Journal Opinion page that pointed out how corporate campaign giving has visibly shifted from the GOP to the Democrats a shift that helps explain the Democrats commanding fund-raising lead.
Well, weve got our own shift right here in Wisconsin. Tonight, a gaggle of Democrat state legislators are hosting Road to Majority 2008 in Green Bay to raise bucks to help support the Assembly Democrats statewide as well as our Democratic Assembly representatives in NE Wisconsin.
Ok, thats important. Pay attention. Yeah, GOP powers-that-be surely get the message. Everything these guys do continues to be aimed directly at taking three Republican seats in the Assembly.
Heres whats interesting to me the list of Hosts ($500) and Sponsors ($250) includes your typical Democrat donors unions and the trial lawyers, as well as current and former office holders Jay Johnson, Lee Meyerhofer and Steve Kagen.
But then a few interesting entries.
George French, Orde Advertising, Green Bay, was an alternate delegate to the GOP 2004 National Convention in New York and contributed $10,000 to the state party in May, 2004. French and his wife, Beverly, really do go both ways many Republicans receiving support, as well as prominent democrats including Russ Feingold, Harry Reid and Barbara Mikulski.
Daniel Chuck Van Zeeland, a $250 sponsor to tonights gig, has given in the past to Toby Roth and David Prosser (going way back) and Bob Welch, Mark Neumann, Mark Green and John Gard. No dem history in the lists of
John Bykowski, Secura, gave $2,000 to Terri McCormick in 2005 and $250 to John Gard in 2006. Heretofore, not a democrat in his reported contributions.
Jon Stellmacher, Thrivent, contributes primarily via the Thrivent PAC it seems. Two contributions show up in the federal data base, $250 to the state GOP party in 2000 and $200 to Senator Norm Coleman (R-MN) in 2002. Not much of a list, but still, heretofore not a dem in the bunch.
And then theres the
Wisconsin Builders Association
and the
Wisconsin Realtors Association
. Overwhelmingly, supporters of the pro-growth fiscal conservative in most any race. Wow. They want to see a Democratic party majority elected to the Assembly in 2008? That just blows me away.

Brittney Griner did it. I looked at a WNBA box score. Griner's WNBA debut came in a 22-point loss. Griner finished with 17 points on 11 shots to go along with 8 rebounds, 4 blocks and two slam dunks. Maybe she couldn't play in the NBA, but she definitely has the right attitude. Griner hung on the rim after her second dunk – her team was down 24 late in the 4th. Fan-tastic.

All the people that go to work or work at home most likely have a desk or work surface of some sort at their disposal. On this surface is usually an in and out bin, a telephone, calculator, a picture frame with the family, computer as well as a pad and pens and pencils. At least that is what you usually start out with when you set up your work station.
Over time a collection of other items seem to appear by magic. And we're not talking about files dropped on your desk from your boss or co-workers. We're talking about clutter. Lots of notes, post-its, newspaper clippings, a story book reference books or manuals, bills, receipts, knick knacks, snacks, wrappers, coffee mug, water bottle and who knows what else.
Your desk seems to be the place that everything seems to find its way to. Today, Jan. 10 is "National Clean Off Your Desk Day"! We all are guilty of having a messy desk from time to time. Or we just don't have the time to file things away saying we'll get to it tomorrow and that day never seems to arrive either.
Today is the day to take action and move all the old useless notes to the trash can and file all those receipts, cancelled checks and manuals and put them in their proper places. Once you have cleared all the clutter away the desk top which hasn't been seen for a while really needs a good wipe down. Once you're done you will feel better about yourself and have a place to put things on your desk to work with without having an avalanche of papers topple down over what you are working on or make a splash on the floor.
Now that your desk is ship shape try and minimize the items you place on your desk so it doesn't get out of control again. Set a time or day each week to organize your papers and file things away, recycle items that shouldn't remain there and shred all those documents that can't just be tossed in the trash can.
Clear the clutter, get organized and enjoy a neat desk while celebrating "National Clean Off Your Desk Day"!

Map Makers project May - June - July 2010
Kensington is a fascinating area of London, alive and buzzing with history and heritage around every street corner.
This website aims to look at how the local area between High Street Kensington Kensington Palace and Fox Primary (RBKC) in Notting Hill has been affected by the palace and its royal residents, from its construction in 1689 to the present day.
Year 5 students from Fox Primary School (RBKC) have worked with the education team at Kensington Palace to create this interactive website with markers showing information about buildings, public spaces, road names and famous people from the local area that have a connection with the palace.
Students were split up into 10 groups and each given a different area of the map between their school and the palace to investigate.
They then collected information and researched the history of the local area through visits to Kensington Palace and the Local Studies Library at Kensington Central Library. They also took part in an illustration workshop which developed their illustration skills with map illustrator David Atkinson, to help them with their own drawings to go alongside the text for each of their markers on the map.
We hope you enjoy exploring.
About Kensington Palace
First adapted for royal residence in 1689 by Sir Christopher Wren, Kensington Palace has been host to the courts of William III and Mary II, Queen Anne, George I and George II and was the birth-place of Queen Victoria. In more recent times the palace has been a much loved home for members of the royal family including Princess Margaret and Diana, Princess of Wales, both of whom have played their part in transforming Kensington into a fashionable royal residence. Kensington Palace is part of Historic Royal Palaces, the independent charity that also looks after the Tower of London, Banqueting House, Hampton Court Palace and Kew Palace.

Integrating Google Plus Into Your Online Business Strategy
Launched in 2011 as Google's response to social media, for online businesses Google + is anything but the networking graveyard it was initially perceived to be.
An accessible platform for sharing corporate content to social and professional networks, Google + has vast SEO benefits, the added advantage of Places/Local linking, and great business-minded content marketing features. So to stay ahead of non-plussed competitors, it's worth taking the time to integrate it into your online business strategy.
SEO benefits
How Google + can help:
Quality content is set to be the force driving SEO in the near future. Designed to share and connect information, social sites are the perfect place to display such valuable content – and none more so than Google's own social network.
Integrated with all Google products and applications, as social power may be more influential than links, just having Google + offers incredible SEO benefits; from enhancing ranking to increasing business visibility in local searches.
How you should integrate it:
- Google + links easily with Google products such as Calendar, Gmail, Play, Voice and most importantly Local. Be sure to harness this integration to reach a wider consumer base- wherever they're camped out online – from social followers to Google searchers.
- Ensure your Google + account is correctly linked with Google + Local to improve visibility in local searches, and to encourage user reviews, as both will benefit SEO. Google will notice if people say they like you!
- Improve your social strategy by using Google Analytics to see what content is most popular, when it's most shared, and by who.
- Use Google+ Authorship to link your posts around the web to your Google + account. This will increase your authority, help your valuable quality content appear in searches, and give you important author credit!
Sharing and privacy advantages
How Google + can help:
Social networks are designed to help you connect and share, but unlike other sites (Facebook or Twitter), Google + does this uniquely; with sharing and privacy features which enable you to selectively organise your audience into 'circles'.
Incredibly valuable from a content marketing perspective, this means content can then be directed at specific pre-grouped demographics. And as all Google products are integrated, sharing is simpler (i.e. you could create a corporate event in the Google calendar, then share it with a select 'partner' circle).
This means you can tailor your Google + approach to suit demographics uniquely, rather then just have one, overarching social front.
How you should integrate it:
- Organise your followers into specific preference circles, to share (or censor) content with them selectively. In addition to having obvious categories, say past or present clients, if you have a wider consumer base, use their interactions to split them into communities (i.e. consumers who prefer one of your products to another)
- Remain active, and share content consistent with your brand tone. Share other people's tips, your own corporate news and updates etc, and try to encourage return shares and '+1's for your site.
Social benefits
How Google + can help:
Google + takes a lot of great social features (say Twitter's trends and hashtags, or Facebook's simple status updating) and combines them to make one easy-use, interconnected, SEO beneficial social site.
With enormous potential audience reach (anyone with a Gmail account, by default also has a Google + and YouTube account – even if they're unaware of it), investing time into Google + and having a complete, active account can boost your online presence more effectively than other social activity.
How you should integrate it:
- In the 'Explore' section, trending news can be seen, followed and acted on using hashtags – the same way digital strategies would with Twitter.
- Using the 'Events' tab, create and share events with your circles, and edit your Google calendar within Google + – it is far more comprehensive than a Facebook event, and can be sent to your Gmail contacts.
- Build Google + Communities (similar to Facebook groups or networks) to encourage interaction and conversation about your brand.
- Use video Hangouts to chat with an audience of up to nine participants – this can be used from a customer service potential, or could be used to hold talks with business partners.
- Create business pages to enhance brand visibility beyond that of simple networking. When linked to your corporate site, Google + Pages for business (similar to Facebook business pages) will improve SEO and traffic, so use them to build communities, inform followers and for customer service purposes.
- Encourage followers to '+1′ you as this boosts authority. Have '+1′ endorsement buttons across your corporate site, ecasts etc.
- If Gmail users are signed up to your mailing list, try to encourage them to connect with you on Google+.
Lastly remember; a sturdy, quality presence across Google's integrated products will improve your online visibility and strategies as a whole – so time to incorporate Google Plus into your everyday actions now!

Johnson: My childhood hero was The Rock
CORAL GABLES – Growing up in the heart of ACC country, Hurricanes center Reggie Johnson's first true passion wasn't basketball, but rather WWE wrestling.
His childhood hero? The Rock, a.k.a. former UM defensive tackle Dwayne Johnson.
"I wasn't playing sports. I was always watching wrestling. Always," said Johnson, who's from Winston-Salem, N.C. "Take my wrestling belt from me, I would cry. I had the tag-team belt, the championship belt.
"I would go outside, put my wrestling belt on the tree, and then fight my teddy bear and act like it was a cage match."
It wasn't long before the teddy bear was missing an eye.
"I would dog him," Johnson said, laughing.
Johnson said he had action figures of wrestlers, as well as a CD that included The Rock's theme song.
"I want to meet The Rock," Johnson said. "If I meet him, it'd mean the world to me."
Guard Malcolm Grant, Johnson's roommate, laughed.
"It just blows my mind that he loves wrestling. I can't believe it," Grant said. "And he knows that it's not real. He still goes crazy for it."

Lucy, a smooth black and tan dachshund, last belonged to an elderly woman. Upon her passing the family obligatorily took possession of the precious pup, but after a short trial period they decided the small pooch was not a good fit for their big dogs. The beloved dachshund ended up on Craig's List, "as free to a good home." It's sadly a routine occurrence in the dog community, and underscores the need for loving parents to prepare for the day their small dogs may outlive them.
Many humans falsely assume their family will happily accept responsibility for their dog when they're gone. Sometimes we have a time to prepare for the end while other times it come suddenly and unexpectedly. It is not a popular subject, but a necessary one. Here are few tips to consider.
1. Socialization. A well-socialized dog can make the transition better than a non-socialized one. Expose your pup to other people, places and dogs.
2. Talk about it. Don't make assumptions. Talk to family and friends to find the best possible continued guardianship options.
3. Discuss the financial responsibility associated with the continued care of your pampered pup. Ensure you find someone aligned with your values and someone in a monetary position to execute them.
4. Write it down. Put your wishes in writing and publicly discuss it with your family so there are no misunderstandings when the time comes.
5. Knowledge is power. Small dogs generally live longer than big dogs. When you get a small dog, you should know it could be a commitment of 15-20 years (if you get it as a puppy). Being aware of the possible long life plan early.
Thanks to a great network of devoted dachshund humans and rescue folks Lucy was picked up yesterday and put in a foster home until her forever family can be found.
