Starting this season, the Milwaukee Brewers will have a new sponsor for the Milwaukee Brewers Radio Network post-game show.
The sponsor? The Wisconsin Department of Tourism.
TravelWisconsin.com will be the presenting sponsor of the post-game show for every regular season game in the 2013 season. The post game show will officially be known as the TravelWisconsin.com Post Game Show.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
While it may seem odd to promote state tourism in a city within the state (they're already there…) apparently the partnership will have a positive impact,
"The sponsorship offers co-branding value with the Brewers and provides TravelWisconsin.com with a longer statewide presence through the peak summer and fall travel season," said deputy tourism secretary Dave Fantle. (via Milwaukee Biz Journal)
Brewers fans can hear the TravelWisconsin.com Post Game Show on the Brewers flagship station, WTMJ-AM (620).

It could be Philadelphia's last chance to hear the legendary Barbra Streisand in concert.
On Oct. 8, she'll launch her first North American tour in six years with a performance at the Wells Fargo Center.
Although Streisand, who turned 70 in April, said her 2000 tour would likely be her last, she put on 20 shows across the United States in 2006, followed by seven more in Europe the following year.
In her long career, the singer turned actress and director - and activist - has been honored with two Oscars, 10 Grammys, a Tony and a dozen Golden Globes. With more than 50 gold albums, she's one of the best-selling female singers of all time.

Two free-speech groups have called on Villanova University to reconsider its decision to cancel a workshop by a controversial gay performance artist.
The National Coalition Against Censorship (NCAC) and the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education sent a letter to Villanova's president, the Rev. Peter H. Donohue, saying they were concerned about the "threat posed to academic freedom" by the abrupt cancellation of Tim Miller's workshop, which was scheduled for mid-April.
Donohue said he called off the residency because of the "explicit, graphic, and sexual content" of Miller's work and not because of his sexual orientation.

Florence – Kathleen (Kathy) Ann Wessel, 61, unexpectedly passed away January 26, 2014 due to natural causes. She was born June 6, 1952 in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, to Edward and Frieda Dietz. Married to Cliff Wessel for the past 17 years. They were filled with fishing, reading, boating, hunting and enjoyment of the outdoors in big sky country of Montana. Kathy enjoyed walking her dog Emma through the woods and loved spending as much time with her grand children as possible, often mailing them trinkets from Montana. While the distance was great between our families, the love and compassion from Kathy was always near and just a phone call away. Her legacy will be best remembered as a strong woman, loving wife and mother, compassionate friend, and an inspiration for her family and friends.
She is survived by her mother Frieda Dietz, husband Cliff Wessel, sister Sharon (Dennis) Hoffman, stepson Tim Wessel, stepdaughter Tammy Porter, sons Richard (Kacey) and Eric (Cori) Thomas; grandchildren Dylan Olsen, Clint Olsen, Kirianne Olsen, Rebecca Thomas, Ranan Thomas, Cody Wessel, Hunter Wessel, Josiah Olsen, Madi Wessel, Matthias Olsen, Isaac Thomas, Ian Thomas, Aiden Thomas, Eli Thomas, and great-grandson Wyatt Harms. She was preceded in death by Edward Dietz (father), Larry Dietz (brother) and Greg Hoffman (nephew).
Kathy lived in Scottsbluff, Hayward, Lodi, and Florence. Kathy graduated from San Joaquin Delta College with an AA Degree in Landscape Design and a certificate in Landscape Horticulture. She previously managed offices for both Dr. Mullen and Dr. Freund in Lodi, California. Kathy's journey took her to Florence, Montana, where she became the lead billing manager for Partnership Health Center in Missoula, Montana. She was elected to serve as the vice president of the local union in 2013 because of her natural leadership ability.
Funeral services were held on Saturday, February 1, 2014 at the Florence-Carlton Community Church with burial following at the Carlton Cemetery. A reception was held following the committal service at the church. Condolences may be left for the family at www.whitesittfuneralhome.com.

Stockman Hopes to Hang Onto Cruz's Coattails
One year ago, two pugnacious Texas Republicans with very different backgrounds were sworn in as members of Congress.
Ted Cruz, a freshman senator from Houston, had advised President George W. Bush and argued before the U.S. Supreme Court nine times. Pundits were already talking about him as a presidential candidate.
Steve Stockman of Friendswood was returning to the U.S. House after serving one boisterous term two decades earlier in which he drew attention for various outlandish comments and ties to domestic militia groups.
Now, Cruz's star continues to rise, and Stockman has hitched his wagon to it in ...

I was born and raised in Belfast, Northern Ireland. After a chance work experience placement in a veterinary clinic during my school years, I decided to change my career plan from zoology to veterinary medicine. I entered Cambridge Veterinary School in October 2008, and am now in my 4th year of studies.
In my 3rd year, I studied for a BA in Infectious Diseases, completing a research project investigating transgenic approaches to control influenza infections. The ability to tackle problems like this awakened my interest in conducting research.
Like most other veterinary students, I enjoy all kinds of animals, despite not having any pets of my own. Outside of my course, I like to spend my time reading, listening to and playing music, cycling, going for walks in the country, and watching films.
Career Goal:
My long-term career goals aren't exactly fixed in stone, but I would love to end up using my scientific background to embark on a career in research, perhaps after spending some years gaining clinical experience. Ideally, I would like to investigate infectious diseases of veterinary interest, and I hope that the Leadership Program will affirm that decision!

Mr. Lamoureux,
I hired a handyman to install a ceiling fan for me. He was going to replace a light I had in my bedroom ceiling with a fan that had a light also. He pulled on the light that was already there and said the box would be strong enough to support the fan. I told him I was going to think about it. I don't know a lot about this, but I've checked around and learned that there are special brackets used when hanging a ceiling fan. If I do need to have a bracket installed, are there any repairs to the ceiling that have to be made? Thank you,
Brenda T.
Hi Brenda,
First of all, you need to make sure that you have a fan box. This is a box that will have one or two spreader bars.
To install, you would put the fan up in the opening of the box and then spread the bars so that they dig into the joists.
I would not take a chance with the guy you are using and really investigate this thoroughly before installing the fan. If there is just a light fixture there now, chances are there is no fan box installed.
I would recommend using a licensed electrician for this type of work. Especially if the fan is over a bed, this is not something you want to risk as it could be very dangerous.
And no, if installed correctly, no drywall will have to be repaired.
Hey Robert,
Are permits needed to replace an asphalt shingle roof? I'll be doing the work myself as an owner-builder and replacing like for like. And let's say permits are required but I don't get any, what kind of penalty would be involved? Thanks,
Jake G.
Hi Jake,
Yes, you will need a permit. You're doing a tear-off and the inspector wants to make sure that the plywood sub-roof is in good shape. The penalty would be you having to pay double the original permit fee costs. The inspector could also require you to remove all of the new shingles you just installed so that the sub-roof could be inspected.
Hi Robert,
I've got a patio deck. I had a roof on it and I want to put a walking deck on top of it. We've used roofing products before but the sun chairs melt through the roofing stuff and has to be redone every year or two. My question is which decking system would you recommend and could you provide a step by step on the installation?
Angel M.
Hi Angel,
There are numerous decking options but one of my favorites is a fiberglass decking system. You first need to check that the patio cover or roof is rated for pedestrian dead loads which is the weight of the furniture.
You have to make sure there is adequate railing and stairs. You may remember a couple of years ago in Marina del Rey there were too many people on the balcony and it came down two stories. You have to be extremely cautious.
The fiberglass systems entails first of all making sure you have a good sub-floor.
You'll put down a resin paper and then a diamond mesh. Next you would apply a concrete base which is part of the system. After that dries, you lay down the fiberglass sheet which comes in 6' wide rolls and roll a resin on top of that.
After the resin sets, you come back with a hopper gun and spray your texture like a splatter or knockdown. Then when that dries, you apply two top coats in the color you want.
As long as you apply an additional top coat every three or four years, this system should last you a lifetime. It's a lot of work, but it's worth it. Do it once, do it right.
Hi Robert,
I'm writing about the knock-knock burglars in the San Fernando Valley that apparently can pick locks. Are there any locks available that can't be picked? I would feel better about spending a little money and be able to sleep better at night. Many thanks,
Connie W.
Hi Connie,
My recommendation is a Medeco lock. They have several different types of locks available. I use them on my commercial building and home. Basically, the only way you're getting in without a key is by using a drill motor or chopping the door down with a fire axe.
No lock is completely pick-proof, but Medeco is the toughest lock to break into. My locksmith is the man that installed the locks at Ronald Reagan's home and FBI offices. His choice is Medeco.
The keys are highly restricted. They will give you a signature card and only the person on that card will be able to get keys. If a locksmith were to cut keys for someone not on the card, he would lose his Medeco license.
Hi Robert,
We can't afford to run our air conditioner in our home anymore. I'm not sure what I need to ask but is it possible to make the air conditioner more efficient so we can still have it but costing us less to use? Thank you,
Ellen M.
Hi Ellen,
There's not an efficient way to alter the mechanics of the air conditioner. They run on 220V because of the compressor and air handler, but do you have ceiling fans?
What I do is cool my house down at night and then turn on the fans. Turning the air conditioner off and not having it run all night long will save you tons of money.
Keep your house at 75 or 76 degrees during the day to keep yourselves comfortable. Then run the fans as much as you can and you should see a drop in your electric bill by 25 percent to 30 percent.
You can also reduce your bills by replacing your incandescent bulbs with fluorescents. There are a lot of styles and options available these days. Another option is to go with LED's.
They are more costly up front, but the savings are substantial when looking long term. I replaced my bulbs with LED's and after about two years they had paid for themselves.
We have designed a custom, full-color The Signal/Your Home Improvements T-shirt we will give you if we answer your question. The T-shirt is available to be picked up at our office.

Most patients with sarcoma need surgical treatment combined with radiation or chemotherapy. The goal of surgery is to remove all of the cancer, if possible.
Surgery for SCCA Patients
Surgery for Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA) adult sarcoma patients is performed at University of Washington Medical Center (UWMC) by surgeons who provide care at both SCCA and UWMC. Our surgeons perform more surgeries on adults with sarcoma than surgeons at any other cancer center in the Northwest.
The exact surgery that you need will depend on many factors, including the location and size of your tumor. Your team will explain the details of your procedure, the benefits and risks, how to prepare before surgery, and what to expect during your recovery and beyond.
In some situations, a sarcoma may be too large or aggressive to remove through surgery. In such cases, a multidisciplinary team can identify a course of treatment to control the sarcoma that does not involve surgery.
Limb-Sparing Surgery
If you have bone cancer in your arm or leg, our goal is to safely treat your cancer without amputating your limb. For most patients with bone cancer, we are able to spare the limb, removing only the cancerous bone and replacing it with either a metallic implant or a bone transplant, thanks to LifeNet Health Northwest, a tissue bank that provides bone for transplants.

Draft preview: PSU's Wisniewski excited; Royster projection; analyst disses Devlin
April 28, 2011 - Cory Giger
Stefen Wisniewski is excited and relaxed -- not nervous -- as he waits to hear his name called in the NFL draft Friday night.
Wisniewski is widely projected to be a second-round pick, and the offensive lineman will be the first Penn State player taken in the draft.
"That's what I'm expecting, that's what I've heard from several different NFL teams that are picking in the second round that they'd love to have me," Wisniewski said Thursday. "So that's what I'm looking at as a worst-case scenario. But you never know; the draft is a crazy thing."
Dan Shonka, general manager and national scout for Ourlads NFL Scouting Services, believes Wisniewski will go in the second round.
"If he fell to the third it'd be a steal for somebody," Shonka said. "We really like him. He's a terrific football player. He is actually our top-rated center. We've got Michael Pouncey as either our top center or guard, but if you put Pouncey at guard, then Wisniewski's our top center."
That he not only can but has played both guard and center gives Wisniewski the kind of versatility NFL teams crave. He spent most of his career at guard for the Nittany Lions but was the starting center his junior season in 2009.
"The NFL scouts and offensive line coaches really like that versatility," Wisniewski said. "It's big because you want to have a guy that can jump in at any spot. It's different, too, because a lot of guys might have played guard in college and are being projected as a center but have never played it."
Wisniewski also has all sorts of tangibles and intangibles in his favor.
"Great DNA bloodlines, uses his hands well, second level he'll seal off the linebackers, very smart guy," Shonka said.
A three-time Academic All-American, Wisniewski can impress teams in the meeting room as well as on the field.
"They're gonna look at film first and foremost," he said, "but I think the interview can really set you apart. I think it's things like that that really -- it kind of sounds weird -- but a team kind of falls in love with you. And if they really like the whole person and not just the football player, then that's the kind of person they're gonna want to invest a lot of money in."
Wisniewski said about five or six teams showed a lot of interest in him leading up to the draft, although he didn't specify which ones.
He grew up in Pittsburgh, and there's a chance the Steelers may be interested in him at the end of the second round -- if he falls that far.
"I did grow up a Steelers fan, and that certainly would be pretty cool," Wisniewski said. "I also grew up a Raiders fan, though, because my uncle [Steve] played for the Raiders as I was growing up. So either of those teams would be special for me.
"But at the same time, I really don't have any allegiance to any team at this point. I'm excited to go wherever and start a new life with a new team."
Knowing that at some point today he will be an NFL player gave Wisniewski reason to reflect on his football life.
"It's pretty cool just sitting thinking about all the work that's gone into it -- going back to playing football in middle school and thinking about all the weights you've lifted, all the practices, all the teammates you've played with, all the coaches that have helped shape you," he said. "It's really a pretty humbling thing to think about how much has gone into it and to see it get rewarded."
SUBHD: Other PSU ties
Running back Evan Royster, the Lions' career rushing leader, is not expected to be drafted until the later rounds, if at all.
"We've got him in the sixth or seventh round area," Shonka said.
Royster generally has been ranked as no better than the 20th best running back in the draft.
"I don't think he's drafted," Rob Brewer of NFLDraftBible.com said. "There are so many running backs I would pick over Royster. He doesn't have anything exceptional to his game."
Defensive lineman Ollie Ogbu has a chance to get drafted in the later rounds, as well.
Former PSU quarterback Pat Devlin, who transferred to Delaware, has seen his stock drop lately and is projected to be a fourth- or fifth-round pick.
"He's got the size, he's got pretty good arm strength, he's a smart guy, he manages the offense very well," Shonka said. "He does a lot of things. I think he's definitely a developmental quarterback."
Brewer wasn't so flattering in his comments about Devlin.
"He lost the starting job to Daryll Clark," he said. "Where is Daryll Clark? He's in the CFL. You couldn't beat that guy out for a starting position? And then you transfer to an FCS school? That doesn't say a whole lot for his pro potential.
"It's not like he was stuck at USC where they had Matt Leinart and Mark Sanchez and Matt Cassell and Carson Palmer and you just couldn't play because there's so much talent at that position. You couldn't beat out Daryll Clark, how are you gonna make an NFL roster? I just don't see it."
(NOTE: I don't agree with Brewer on Devlin, but one reason I use him as an analyst is he's not afraid to be politically incorrect. For those who say his thoughts are ridiculous -- and I've already heard from some of you -- I ask: Could there be some truth to what he's saying?
And for the record, I've always thought Clark did a fine job at PSU. He went 22-4 and led the team to the Rose Bowl and a Capital One Bowl victory. I judge him based on what he did in college, not on what he hasn't done in the pros.)

AUSTIN — It looks like the July 31 runoff in Texas House District 88 may be a north versus south contest — or, put another way, between the Texas Panhandle and the South Plains.
And though the nine South Plains counties in the 17-county district have the majority of the votes, if the contest between Plainview Rep. Jim Landtroop and Canadian school board president Ken King is anything like it was in Tuesday's primary, voter turnout in the Texas Panhandle counties could be the deciding factor in the election.
Election returns show Hale County — the most populous of all counties and where Landtroop received the highest percentage of votes — had a turnout of less than 12 percent. Landtroop is from Hale County.
Gray County, the district's most populous county in the Texas Panhandle, had a 28.8 percent turnout; the percentage was even higher in Ochiltree and Hemphill counties.
By contrast, although South Plains counties such as Cochran, Hockley and Yoakum also had robust turnouts, Lamb and Swisher counties had discouraging numbers, just like Hale, Landtroop acknowledged.
So, what does he need to do to motivate the voters in the July 31 runoff?
"That's the million-dollar question," he said. "We'll have to go out there and urge our supporters to go to the polls."
Although King said that he's glad the voter turnout in the Texas Panhandle seemed to be much higher than in the South Plains, his challenge between now and the runoff is to spread his message across the district and to make sure his supporters go back to the polls in two months.
In Hockley, Castro, Bailey and Swisher counties, King received at least 25 percent of the vote and finished second to Landtroop.
"We're going to identify our supporters and make sure they go to the polls," King said.
Moreover, getting the endorsement of former Rep. Gary Walker of Plains should be a big help because Walker — who also challenged Landtroop in Tuesday's Republican primary but came last in the four-candidate race — had a strong showing in Hockley and Yoakum counties, of 26.6 percent and 68 percent, respectively, King said.
"When you talk about a 20 percent difference, anything helps," King said in reference to the 17.3 percent of the vote Walker received in the final tally.
It is a slightly different story in neighboring District 68.
In this district, it is the eastern counties versus the western counties. This is also a drastically redrawn district, stretching as far east as Cooke County to as far west and north as Wheeler County in the Texas Panhandle and south to Fisher County in the South Plains, a distance of more than 300 miles from east to west and almost the same from north to south.
Trent McKnight of Throckmorton County received more than 50 percent of the vote everywhere except in Cooke and Montague counties, which account for more than one-third of all residents in the 22-county district.
Nonetheless, in Montague County — the second-largest county in the rural district — McKnight received 41.3 percent, the highest percentage of any of the four Republican hopefuls.
McKnight, who received nearly half of all the votes in the district Rep. Rick Hardcastle has represented the last 14 years, said he could not be more pleased.
"I certainly feel that it's a strong showing," he said. "So, I am going to continue knocking on doors and talking to voters about issues they care about, like water, public schools and jobs for rural Texas. I've been very consistent in that message."
But Drew Springer of Cooke County, who'll face McKnight in the Republican runoff, said his home county of Cooke has a sheriff's runoff race and that should help boost the turnout
In addition, he will campaign hard in the western counties of the district and emphasize his West Texas roots. He graduated from Pampa High School and from Texas Tech.
"The fact that I finished second doesn't matter," Springer said. "It's a new ballgame and I am going to campaign heavily in the western section of the district and everywhere I can. I think it's a winning strategy."
In House districts 88 and 68, more than half of the voters live in five counties. The figures below show who received the most votes in those counties.

KALAMAZOO, MI -- Bach Festival Week brings them back.
"Oh, too bad you're missing the Schubert and Faure," Turner told him. So Jordan made a vow to return.
Jordan and Laura Tribby will be featured soloists May 18 at Kalamazoo College's Stetson Chapel for a late afternoon of Bach, Schubert and Faure. The concert is this season's finale, and the start of 67th annual Bach Festival Week.

Bach's well-known Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 will lead to two substantial works of choral, Franz Schubert's Mass in G Major and Gabriel Faure's Requiem, Op. 48.
Unlike other choral works "that can go on for hours," Schubert's and Faure's are under 30 minutes each, so "one doesn't have a chance to get bored," Turner said. Schubert was very prolific, so why is his Mass such a choral rarity in his output, Turner wondered. "Oh, yeah. He was 31 years old when he died," he said.
Schubert wrote his Mass in five days. "One can't help but wonder if he knew time was of the essence," Turner said.
Faure's Requiem was a two-year project for the French composer. It is "considered to be one of the most beautiful choral works," Turner said.
City Sings Bach is also happening May 18, with area church choirs and organists performing Bach for their services.
Many highlights -- Bach Community Sing, May 20; Bach's Lunch Concert, May 21 -- follow for the week.
The biggest event should be the Bach Around the Block Organ Crawl, May 19, Turner said, with Bach on the grand pipe organs in the churches around Bronson Park.
"We almost always have around 300 people show up for that," Turner said.

Police in Ephrata say a horse attached to a parked buggy went wild and ran off, striking two cars.
The incident happened around 4:30 p.m. Thursday on the first block of East Main Street.
Police said the horse became out of control, ran over its owner and ran off, pulling the unoccupied buggy behind.
The buggy struck two cars and after the impact, the horse kept running.
Police said the horse was recovered a short time later and sustained only minor injuries. The horse's owner was treated at the hospital for her injuries and is expected to be OK.

To the Editor.—
In reference to the article "Serotonin Uptake in Blood Platelets in Psychiatric Patients," by Meltzer et al (Archives 1981;38:1322-1326), we do not agree with the authors' conclusion that it is the passive diffusion that we found in our assay. The tube containing imipramine served as an indicator for estimating the passive diffusion, but it was only the first tube. The second and third tubes did not contain imipramine; therefore, the results drawn from them reflected the overall uptake of serotonin in five minutes. The final results were calculated after reduction of the results seen with imipramine from the average of the results seen without imipramine, thus reflecting only active transport of serotonin.Second, Meltzer et al compared their values from maximum velocity (V max) with our uptake values in the final serotonin concentration of 10-7M, which definitely does not reflect Vmax values. Therefore, the authors'

|Nine Inch Nails singles chronology
"The Perfect Drug" is a song by Nine Inch Nails. It was written for the David Lynch film Lost Highway and originally appeared on the Lost Highway soundtrack and as a single from the score in 1997. Remixes of the song were released in an EP, "The Perfect Drug" Versions.
Though "The Perfect Drug" Versions acts as a single for the titular song, the original version does not appear on the American single. A slightly extended version of "The Perfect Drug" has also been included on the foreign singles "We're in This Together, Part 3" and "Into the Void", but the only audio release of it in North America has been on the Lost Highway soundtrack. The music video for song was directed by Mark Romanek, and is on the Closure video compilation and The Work of Director Mark Romanek.
Despite being a single, "The Perfect Drug" has never been performed live. On the official NIN website, "Sara" asked whether this is because "the drum solo would make Jerome's arms fall off." Then-drummer Jerome Dillon replied that they "never rule out the possibility of playing any of the songs live."[2]
On April 6, 2005, despite the song's fast-moving worldwide success, while presenting the late-night BBC Radio 1 Rock Show in the UK, Trent Reznor responded to the question "which piece of your own work are you least satisfied with and why?" by saying "the only thing I think I really don't like that much is The Perfect Drug song. It was one of those things where you have a week to do a track for a movie, the mindset that you kind of adapt in that situation, or I did, was 'let's go in and experiment and see what happens, and it's not, y'know, whatever comes out of it, it's not the end of the world'. And I think what came out of it, married with a bloated, over-budget video, feels like ... the least thing that I would play to somebody if they said play me, y'know, the top hundred songs you've written, that probably wouldn't be in the top hundred. I'm not cringing about it, but it's not my favorite piece."[3]
"The Perfect Drug" was released as a track for the video game Rock Band on February 26, 2008 for Xbox 360 and on February 28 for PlayStation 3. It is available as a standalone download or as part of the 'Nine Inch Nails' song pack along with "March of the Pigs" and "The Collector". It is viewed as one of the hardest songs to play on drums in the game. It later appeared in Rock Band Unplugged.
"The Perfect Drug" has been covered by Die Krupps, Vanna,[4] The Chordials and Fit for an Autopsy.
The song is one of 31 music files in the Sony BMG v. Tenenbaum case, which resulted in finding the individual file-sharer liable for copyright infringement in July 2009, demanding an award of $22,500 a song.
Music video[edit]
A music video for the single was directed by Mark Romanek and released on January 18, 1997. The theme was inspired by the illustrations of 20th-century artist Edward Gorey, with familiar Gorey elements including oversized urns, and glum, pale characters in full Edwardian costume.[5][6] The most obvious reference to Gorey is the boy sitting on the cushion in front of the painting. Other references include an unidentified painting resembling Gustav Klimt's The Kiss (1907–1908) and a "Scanning Machine" designed by Frenchman François Willème in 1860.
The video is widely interpreted as Trent Reznor portraying a man mourning the death of a child and detaching himself from reality through absinthe. Charlie Clouser, Danny Lohner, and Chris Vrenna also appear in the video, most notably playing string instruments at the beginning of the video. The entire video was filmed with a blue tint with the exception of the drum breakdown, which uses flashing green light instead. Joanne Gair's work with Nine Inch Nails on "The Perfect Drug" won her the makeup portion of the best hair/makeup in a music video at the Music Video Production Awards.[7]
"The Perfect Drug" Versions is the eleventh official Nine Inch Nails release and consists of five remixes of the song "The Perfect Drug." The European, Australian, and Japanese releases append the original version of the song, while a promotional vinyl set adds an exclusive sixth remix, by Aphrodite.

Valeant Pharmaceuticals will acquire Bausch + Lomb for $8.7 billion cash, the companies said yesterday, creating a more-than-$3.5 billion-a-year eye-care giant focused on ophthalmic pharmaceuticals, contact lenses, lens care products, and ophthalmic surgical devices and instruments.
Under the deal, Valeant will pay about $4.5 billion to an investor group led by Bausch + Lomb's current owner, Warburg Pincus, and spend the remaining roughly $4.2 billion to repay Bausch + Lomb's outstanding debt. Bausch + Lomb will retain its name and become a division of Valeant, which will integrate its existing ophthalmology businesses into the new division.
Valeant said it expects the new division to generate some $3.3 billion in revenues this year—about as much as the $3.55 billion in revenues racked up last year by the entire company. Valeant also expects the new Bausch + Lomb division can achieve at least $800 million in annual cost savings by the end of 2014, on top of roughly $720 million this year in adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.
The deal comes some two months after Bausch + Lomb filed for an initial public offering seeking to raise up to $100 million. The IPO was filed following news reports that Warburg Pincus tried but failed to sell Bausch + Lomb for at least $10 billion.
Valeant, Canada's largest domestic drug developer, reasons that it can capitalize on an aging patient population, an increased rate of diabetes, and demand from emerging markets through its latest acquisition. Bausch + Lomb is the 15th acquisition announced by Valeant since 2010, when the pharma company was created through a merger of an eponymous U.S. predecessor and Canadian-owned Biovail. Since then, Valeant has positioned itself as a specialty maker of branded pharmaceuticals, branded generics, and over-the-counter products, with a partial focus on dermatology.
"With this transaction, Valeant will be a worldwide leader in both dermatology and eye health," J. Michael Pearson, Valeant's chairman and CEO, insisted in a statement. "Bausch + Lomb's world-renowned brand, comprehensive portfolio of leading eye care products, and promising late-stage pipeline are an ideal strategic fit for our current ophthalmology business and we are strongly committed to continuing to build a sustainable eye health business."
Last year, Valeant signaled increased interest in eye care by acquiring the age-related blindness drug Visudyne from QLT for $112.5 million, and the maker of anti-VEGF inhibitor Macugen®, Eyetech, for an undisclosed "up-front payment and potential future milestones that total significantly less than two times sales." Both deals enabled Valeant to expand an eyecare portfolio it snapped up with Aton Pharma in 2010.

Bedeviling Gravity
The Men Who Keep the "Grande Dame" Looking Her Finest
(page 3 of 3)
"I could go out and butcher something and the whole department will take a hit," Klepser explains. "It's nice that everybody here at Sun Valley works really hard to make sure that the work done on a nightly basis is good. Everybody does the best job they possibly can. The skill level here is quite high. I think that's because of the longevity. There is no substitute for experience." On the crew there are five guys with more than 20 years' experience and two men with more than 15 years' experience. "The skiing public benefits hugely from that kind of consistency."
Experience isn't the only thing that counts. "I think, too, to be a good groomer, you need to be a skier," Klepser adds. "I guess it's not absolutely mandatory, but skiing is a big part of grooming. It gives you a feel for the runs, way more than just running a snowcat all the time."
Most of the people who groom at Sun Valley have a background in skiing. They are former lift operators, ski patrolmen, and snowmakers. And that experience working in other capacities on the mountain is valuable, as it gives groomers an idea what the other departments may need. A former lift operator may notice that the chairlift loading ramps need grooming, or a former ski patrolman may recognize a potential skiing hazard.
"It really helps to ski," he says. "You can check out other people's work, check your own work out and see things you missed."
Klepser works the swing shift—4 p.m. to midnight—which gives him plenty of time to ski and evaluate his work. Grooming responsibilities are split between the swing shift and graveyard shift, 12:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. The former has a larger crew and does the bulk of the grooming. In total, the grooming team works for a 16-hour period, more than twice as long as the mountain is open for skiing.
Back on Christmas Bowl, we switch anchor points. This time Klepser wraps a strap around a tree and then attaches the cable hook to the strap. I find it hard to believe the tree will support the weight of the 18,000-pound winch cat.
"I like to do the risky projects that are high-pressure jobs," he says. Ski runs that are visible from the lift are considered high pressure, because the public has time to critique the grooming while riding uphill. Christmas Bowl is particularly challenging because it is highly visible, and groomers must contend with the trees and snowmaking guns.
There are many other things—besides corduroy—that indicate if a run is groomed well. A well-groomed run is flat, has a good fall line, and does not have thin spots.
Dark now, a spotlight illuminates the path for the snowcat. With the moonlight, however, it is surprisingly light outside.
"When the headlights come on, it's easier to see all of your mistakes. The shadows show up, and you see every inconsistency," Klepser says.
Clockwise from top: Bill Dyer: 11 Seasons, Kevin Klepser: 3 Seasons, Jack Seagraves: 30 Seasons, Jim Wieand: 26 Seasons, Dan Hoffman: 4 Seasons, Chad Vandellen: 1 Season, Brad Welcome: 26 Seasons, Charlie Kucher: 11 Seasons
At 9 p.m., it's lunchtime for the groomers. Klepser finishes a few more passes on River Run, before meeting the rest of the crew at the ski patrol hut on the top of the mountain.
There is a jovial mood inside as operators dine on spaghetti, soup and sandwiches, while joking about the March Madness basketball games on television.
These guys enjoy each other and their work.
"This has got to be one of the best jobs in the Valley," Charlie Kucher, a grooming supervisor, tells me. "There is a lot of mystique in cat driving."
As they finish their late-night lunch, their conversation takes on a more serious tone. The operators want to discuss the hazards of skiing during grooming hours.
Nearly all of the men at the table are skiers. The operators are concerned that the public is unaware of the danger posed by winch cat grooming. Someone may end up seriously injured or killed.
"If the winch cable did break, you wouldn't want to catch a skier with it," Klepser says. "There is so much traffic on this mountain. I have had more people cross my cable in the last two years than in the last 20 years."
When a winch cat is in operation, the cable may lie hidden in the snow as a cat moves downhill. Climbing uphill, the cable is apt to whiplash through the air. They fear that a skier may get caught in the cable's path.
Klepser explains, "I just want people to realize we are working up here and it's dangerous. If they aren't paying attention, they can get seriously hurt. That's what we are concerned about."
The serious conversation ends, and the cat drivers load up for the second half of their shift. I'm tired, they are not.
Inside the cab I am awed by the beauty of the other cats leaving the top of the mountain. The lights trail away as the operators return to finish their shifts. The train of lights twinkles magically against the snow. The beauty of the cats is spectacular; so is the quality of their work.
It's a luxury often taken for granted by skiers. There is a tremendous amount of work, dedication, and knowledge necessary to maintain this winter playground.
As he closes his cat door, Klepser remarks, "It boils down to this: if the skiers are happy, we're happy."
Megan Thomas spends much of her time skiing the pristine slopes of Sun Valley. She now has true appreciation for grooming and the people who dedicate themselves to the work.

In Brief: Sources: Obama backs off border policy changes
Sources: Obama backs off border policy changes
WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama is holding off for now on seeking new legal authority to send unaccompanied migrant kids back home faster from the Southern border, following criticism that the administration's planned changes were too harsh.
Instead when Obama formally asks Congress for more than $2 billion in emergency spending today to deal with the border crisis, the request will not be accompanied by the policy changes that the White House had indicated it planned to seek, according to two congressional aides. The aides spoke Monday on condition of anonymity.
White House officials said they still intend to pursue additional authorities to speed the return of the children who've been arriving by the thousands. For now, the White House request will focus on additional money for immigration judges, detention facilities, legal aid and other items that could address the situation on the border.
President signs intelligence bill
WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama has signed into law legislation that authorizes spending of $564 million over five years for the U.S. intelligence community and expands protections for intelligence agency whistle-blowers against retaliation.
The White House said Obama signed the bill Monday. The cost figure does not include classified programs.
The bipartisan legislation specifies that employees would be protected when they make disclosures about potential wrongdoing within their agencies, to internal watchdogs or to Congress' intelligence committees. The legislation adopts and expands whistle-blower protection proposals made by Obama in 2012.
The legislation encourages whistle-blowers to voice concerns through channels rather than through unauthorized and potentially damaging leaks, supporters said.
The new law does not provide protections to intelligence agency contractors, such as National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden.
14 slain, dozens hurt in Chicago shootings
CHICAGO -- Officials said shootings in Chicago over the Fourth of July weekend left at least 14 people dead.
During a Monday news conference, Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said his department's best efforts could not prevent the bloodshed that spiked dramatically on Sunday. Police said Chicago had 53 shooting incidents.
The Associated Press took its tally of deaths from the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office, from Thursday through Sunday. The number of shooting incidents came from Chicago police and was for Thursday evening through Sunday.
Two deaths early Monday morning were not included in the weekend totals.
McCarthy said Chicago is still on pace to end the year with fewer homicides than 2013. But he said the number of shooting incidents is up slightly over 2013.

quote: The Start menu is the optimal form for the arrangement and access to installed programs.
quote: For anyone who actually uses their PC for actual work, and actually expects to be productive with it, the Metro interface does nothing but get in the way. It provides no benefits. There's nothing positive that it does that can't be accomplished with a plain old Windows desktop widget like what's been around since Vista, and by making it impossible to efficiently organize and access average or large numbers of applications, it prevents reasonable usage of the computer.
quote: Period. And if you have managed to convince yourself differently, you are not only in a vast minority, but likely also moderately insane. Because this is, quite simply, self-evident.
quote: Alphabetical is too challenging for you? Windows Key -> Ctrl + Tab. Or Windows Key -> type anything...
quote: As I previously mentioned and you ignored the start menu has limits on the number of applications.
quote: The start screen has no such limitation
quote: and the application list is just as it sounds, an alphabetical list of every installed application.
quote: Are you allergic to reading? Serious question. Windows 8 actually makes it EASIER to organize and manage a large number of applications. I would be delighted to hear what single screen in Windows 7 allows you to see an entire list of installed apps and manage them. By manage I mean pin them to the task bar, pin them to the start screen, and uninstall them.
quote: Once again you've supported your conclusions with literally zero evidence. The "suckiness" of Windows 8 is so self evident that you can't provide use cases to support your conclusions.
quote: The Start menu is alphabetical. In fact, an alphabetical listing of everything you have installed is optimal - that's what the Start menu is. As for your braindead re-assertion that you can "just type anything you want" - that's why we left DOS, and also, previous Windows versions do the same thing. And why, exactly, should anyone start learning more multi-key-presses to do stuff that was easy before, without such key presses? You've just proved yourself wrong in insisting that Metro makes these things easier.
quote: No, no it doesn't. There is no limit to the number of programs and program groups that the Start menu can manage for you - automatically, and in alphabetical order. Have you never used Windows before?
quote: ..really? Just how many of your Fisher-Price "tiles" do you think you're going to manage to fit on your screen? As noted many times before, if you only use your PC to do a couple things, then fine. Use your Fisher-Price kindergarten interface and be happy with it. But it is EXTREMELY limited in it's ability to organize and provide access to average or large numbers of installed programs.
quote: ...that's what the Start menu is, which is the one and only way to intelligently organize and provide access to all your programs. Putting the Metro UI on top of that does nothing but waste time as you get to the application list.
quote: OK, so apparently you actually haven't ever used Windows before - because that's what the Start menu does for you. Do you honestly think you've made a point here?
quote: It's clear that you're projecting. As can easily be seen, it is you who have provided no support to your assertions. The things you've tried to say are improvements are things Windows has done for years. Without the Fisher-Price UI on top of it, serving no purpose but to slow you down and make you less productive.ve just proved yourself wrong in insisting that Metro makes these things easier.
quote: Windows 7: Mouse to Start/Windows Key -> Mouse to All Programs -> Click on the application folder -> Click on application. Windows 8: Press Windows Key + C (or other alternatives) -> Click on application you want
quote: The start menu allows you to pin programs for quick access. This pinned list is limited. In Windows 8 the All Programs + Pinned List has been consolidated into one section.
quote: Right now across three monitors...
quote: Unless, of course, there was another way which required fewer clicks and greater control over the programs.
quote: No, it does not. It allows you to manage folders in which the applications reside. It is not nearly as easy to do any of the functions I mentioned, especially uninstall. This is especially true if you are allergic to typing or hate keyboard shortcuts. Even in Windows 7 typing the application name was faster than going through All Programs.
quote: So very very ironic. Besides, if you hate the start screen go download Start8. It's free. Just another point you've neglected to respond to. You're good at that.

Expand Your Relationship Circles:
The World House for Peace
Our challenge is to expand our circle to promote respectful engagement with a broader world. In the 21st century, not everyone shares the same values or experiences, and conflict exists. Through exploration and discussion of our differences, we must work to create the common ground necessary to build peaceful, just, and mutually beneficial relationships.
The World House for Peace works to prevent and resolve conflicts in non-violent ways, through efforts such as community development, mediation, increasing intercultural understanding, decreasing violence in media and technology, promoting global security through deterrence, promoting global security through disarmament, preventing violent crime, establishing and strengthening civil society and democracy and using technology to develop and sustain mutually beneficial relationships.
