IN WIN Dragon Slayer Micro-ATX Chassis
Inside The IN WIN Dragon Slayer Micro-ATX Case
With the door panel off we can finally glance into the heart of the Dragon Slayer. Most notably missing is the typical full length of bay drives. On one hand, rarely do we use them all, and secondly, it makes for a huge area to allow for long graphics cards.
In the front there is a 5.25" drive bay and a 3.5" bay hanging just under it, both utilizing tool-less clips to mount the devices. Then there is the large void and at the bottom of it, there is a 140mm fan to blow air directly into the cards intake. At the bottom is a removable cage that allows for 3.5" drives to be installed, and if removed will allow for 5.25" devices to be placed there as well. The options are endless for a single hard drive and single optical drive setup.
The motherboard tray has holes in all the right places and you will see wiring is made simple a bit later. Even though it only supports m-ATX motherboards, there is a serious hole for access to the back plates. In the top you can see the 140mm fan and the 90mm in the back. The five expansion slots just above the PSU are tool-less as well, but still offer room for a screw if you see one is necessary.
Around the back you can see a good sized offset of the tray from the door panel. This will allow for all extra wires to be routed through here and hidden, as to improve the ability of the fans air flow inside the chassis. The venting in the door panel lines up with the venting in the bottom drive bays; and the fan in that cage can cause a draft of air to come in.
Three long tabs wrap around the front of the steel body and when released, the front bezel can be removed. The front I/O wiring is attached, so be careful, but the switches and lighting are mounted to the frame and stay out of the way. At the very bottom, we get our first look at the 90mm fan that cools the removable bay. In the bezel the three 5.25" and one 3.5" covers are removable with just a tab on each end holding them in place.
The front I/O wiring is quite long and will be no issue getting them connected. There are the audio connections just left of the USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 connectors. To the right you find the power LED (in 2-pin and 3-pin configuration), power switch, HDD LED and reset switch wires. The 4-pin Molex connection powers the blue LED logo on the front.

Air Power, Insurgency and the 'War on Terror'
22 / 23 August 2007
The First Biennial Conference of:
Air Power Studies,
King's College London at the Royal Air Force College
RAFC Cranwell, Lincolnshire, NG34 8HB
In today's ambiguous strategic environment it is common to see the campaigns against terrorism and various insurgencies being characterised as primarily soldiers' struggles. Media coverage of those campaigns routinely depicts platoons of soldiers in body-armour patrolling hostile suburbs. Yet the media seldom shows air forces and their aircraft despite these playing significant roles in almost all aspects of the multi-faceted, multi-theatre War on Terror and the various insurgencies that it reportedly includes.
This conference – to be held at the historic and prestigious Royal Air Force College – will assess the nature and significance of air power's recent and current roles, contributions and challenges.
The Air Power Studies team intends the conference to attract practitioners, policy-makers, academics and especially university students (for whom attendance will be free upon presentation of a student id card), and for it therefore to wrestle analytically with big air power-related themes and topics at the heart of current strategy and security debates.
The conference proceedings will be published.
We invite submissions on the following topics:
• Air power and national defence strategies
• Air power and Low-Intensity Conflict
• Air power and the wider War on Terror
• Air power in Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon
• Historical case studies of air power against insurgencies
• Air power and the media
• The ethics of air power in this ambiguous environment
• Developments in relevant concepts and doctrine
Speakers already confirmed include:
• Professor James S Corum, Department of Joint and Multinational Operations, US Army Command and General Staff College, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas
• Dr Philip S Meilinger, eminent American air power scholar
• Dr Christina Goulter, Senior Lecturer, Joint Services Command and Staff College, United Kingdom
• Dr Alan Vick, Senior Political Scientist, RAND Corporation, Virginia
Abstracts (of no more than 350 words) should be emailed to Mr Chris Finn, the Conference Administrator, at:
or posted to him at:
Air Power Studies,
King's College London at the
Royal Air Force College,
Cranwell, Sleaford,
Lincolnshire NG34 8HB,
United Kingdom
All submissions must be received by 1 November 2006.
All prospective contributors will be notified in late November.
Queries of an academic nature should be directed to:
Dr Joel Hayward,
Head of Air Power Studies
(and Conference Convenor), at:
Tel. +44 (0)1400 268020
The length of each presentation and the number of papers per session will be determined in accordance with the number and thematic distribution of the successful proposals.
Prospective presenters should normally expect 30 minutes per presentation, plus 10 minutes of discussion time.
We are particularly keen to ensure that graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and junior faculty are able to play an active role in the conference.
In addition to making attendance entirely free to all currently enrolled university students we may be able to provide limited financial support (for transport and accommodation) to any students whose papers have been accepted for presentation.
Air Power Studies,
King's College London at the
Royal Air Force College
Since late 2005, cadets on the RAF's Initial Officer Training Course have enjoyed a far more extensive and rigorous academic syllabus than before. That syllabus is the handiwork of a new academic unit – Air Power Studies, a specialist component of King's College London's War Studies Group – and of the RAF's own skilled trainers.
Created in partnership by the RAF and KCL's Defence Studies Department, the Air Power Studies team aspires to provide world-class, broad and critical defence-related education to RAF officers across various levels from initial officer training through to the RAF's flagship single-service course, the Higher Air Warfare Course.
The Air Power Studies team aims to develop into a national (and internationally recognised) centre of excellence in air power and related defence research and teaching. It seeks to generate academic discourse and public awareness of air power's unique abilities, activities and accomplishments across the spectrum of conflict. The team is also committed to supporting the RAF with specialist defence and security advice and the production of high-level research.

Bookmark your calendar to return to the world class city of Chicago for our 152nd Midwinter Meeting, Thursday - Saturday, Feb. 23-25, 2017. The theme of our meeting will be Leadership: Cornerstone for Success.

And we've made it easier than ever to bring your whole team through incentives like our 3=1 FREE and Member Bring a Non-Member programs. Learn more below.
The CDS member leadership team continuously looks for ways to improve the Midwinter Meeting. That's why the Chicago Dental Society continues to be The Respected Leader in Scientific Dental Meetings. For 2017, three, new all-day learning tracks are featured – one for each day of the Midwinter Meeting:

Template talk:History of Poland
|WikiProject Poland
|(Rated Template-class)
|WikiProject History
|(Rated Template-class)
I think this should include the History of the Jews in Poland and, when we finally finish it, the History of Polish economy, History of Polish culture and similar projects. Also, we may want to consider a kind of see also to Template:Polish statehood. What do you think? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 13:50, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I think it's a good idea to add culture to the topical section of the template. There is no History of Polish culture yet, but Polish culture might work.
I came across this template at the top of History of Poland (1945-1989) when I saw its nomination at featured article candidates. I reformatted it; it is now similar to the American history timeline template. Phoenix2 01:31, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Piotrus, I would also have liked to have the Piast Dynasty in the template, but the article also talks about the period of the Andegawens, which is why I simply called it "Early History". Perhaps we can change it back.
- Are you the person who redesigned the template few minutes ago? Welcome to Wiki, and please consider registering so it is easy to identify who is talking (and doing the edits). I like the new colors, but as I wrote below - I am not sure if increase in size is good. It was slim, now it is bigger - nor that it is worse, perhaps I need to get used to it. Hopefully we will hear input from some others soon. Once again, welcome to Wiki. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 21:43, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, that was me. I'll try to register when I get the chance. What do you say about changing the Piast entry back to "Early History"? Also, I had considered naming one of the entries "Partitions" (the way it is now), but I think "Loss of Statehood" sounds a little more formal, and therefore perhaps more appropriate?
- Registering is very easy - just click in the link top right corner. The Andagewans are a real wrench in the works of properly naming this period, I know. I guess you could revert it back to Early history. I think Partitions are ok - let's wait and hear from more ppl on this, though. I won't object much to either version. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 22:41, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
- I wonder--does Pawel Jasienica include the Andegawens in his "Polska Piastow" or in "Polska Jagiellonow"? If it's the latter (I think I remember seeing Queen Jadwiga on its cover), then we would be slightly out of sync with him (this is less of an issue for this template than for the way the articles divide up Polish history). Does anyone have an opinion on this?
Anon vesion[edit]
I am not sure whether we want to keep it. Colors are nicer (red-white), but it's bigger and partially redundant with Template:Polish statehood. Below is the pre-anon template. If you decide to revert to it, copy the anon template here for further discussion. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 21:41, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
|History of Poland
Until 966
- Hi, I didn't realize there was another template. I think they're different enough to warrant keeping this one. I don't think the size detracts at all. I got the idea for it from Template:French_Revolution, which is pretty nice. I'd also like to make it so that the entry in the template turns bold when you click on the article, but I'm not yet familiar enough with wiki syntax.
- I assume the pink was a compromise since red makes text on it rather hard to read. I like the idea, but the current version does live much room for improvement. Perhaps you could work on it - you have created several nice templates yourself... --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 17:46, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
- You're right--I made it pink (as opposed to red) to make it more readable. The more I look at the template, though, the more I agree that the color scheme is a little weak. I wanted to work in some Polish "symbolism" in the form of colors, but maybe it would be a better idea to simply use a picture at the top, like some of the other templates. Other Polish templates use pictures of the eagle (Polish Statehood) and of the flag, so we can't use those. I thought that a picture of a husarz would work beautifully for this template, but I don't know where to get a nice-looking, legal copy of such a picture.
- Although the aesthetic of the template in its current form is not ideal, I think the more meaningful addition from these recent changes is the naming of each of the date ranges. Even at the cost of widening the template, I think it's useful because we no longer have to look at a bunch of numbers.
Other versions[edit]
See Wikipedia:WikiProject History of Poland/Periodization for older versions of this template, as well as for discussion regarding periodisation and several suggested variants. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 18:12, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
Hi everyone, I've updated the template. I've removed the painful color scheme, added a picture, and tried to improve the overall appearance. I chose the painting Stańczyk for the image because I believe him to be the best symbol of Polish history (other than the Polish flag, and the Eagle, which are used by other templates). Please let me know what you think. Appleseed 18:49, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
Blurry pic[edit]
WIth all due respect to Matejko, the thumb pic of Grundwald is rather illegible - it is impossible to make out what is in the pic in the thumb size. I think we need to change it to something simpler. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 01:54, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
- I agree that the thumb is a little blurry, but I don't think it's too bad. I like it because, as we all know, it is the essential image in Polish history. Plus, because it's much wider than it is high, it works well at a width of 200px without making the template seem massive (as is the case with Stańczyk). I really would like to get rid of Stańczyk; his pessimism has been grating on my nerves ever since I added him to the template. If you're really opposed to Bitwa pod Grunwaldem, I'll try to find a third image. Appleseed 02:53, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
- I do find Grundwald very unclear, it remiands me of nothing Polish - well, except bigos, maybe :> Let's hear from others. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 22:29, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
- I see no one has joined the discussion. Piotruś, maybe you can help me find an image that we both like. Any ideas? Appleseed 17:04, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
- I do find Grundwald very unclear, it remiands me of nothing Polish - well, except bigos, maybe :> Let's hear from others. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 22:29, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
Consolidation & Cleanup[edit]
Consolidated Pre/Proto History sidebar into the main History sidebar (this page). Also cleaned out the cultural topics. There should be a separate sidebar for Religion in Poland, Cultures in Poland, Polish Leaders and any other topics. Please keep this sidebar as the way to tie the History carticles together.

McCormick & Company, Incorporated has signed an agreement to acquire 100 percent of the shares of One World Foods, Inc., seller of Stubb's barbecue sauces, a privately held company located in Austin, Texas.
- Stubb's is the leading premium barbecue sauce brand in the U.S. In addition to sauces, Stubb's products include marinades, rubs and skillet sauces. Annual sales of the business are projected to be $30 million in 2015 and are expected to grow at a double-digit rate annually for the next several years.
- Stubb's products complement McCormick's range of grilling items with the addition of authentic, craft barbecue sauces. McCormick plans to drive sales of the Stubb's brand through expanded distribution, increased household penetration and innovative flavors.
- McCormick has agreed to acquire the business for approximately $100 million in cash.
- Acquisitions are an important avenue of growth for McCormick. Stubb's is McCormick's third acquisition agreement announced in 2015.
Alan Wilson, Chairman & CEO of McCormick stated, "We are pleased to announce this agreement to acquire Stubb's. Based in Texas, Stubb's is an authentic, craft brand with an enthusiastic and loyal consumer base. Through marketing and innovation, we intend to build this base, increase household penetration and expand retail distribution in the U.S. and internationally. The Stubb's products round out the range of grilling products currently marketed by McCormick under the Grill Mates, Lawry's and McCormick brands. We look forward to working with the Stubb's employees to drive increased sales and profit for this business."
After opening his first Stubb's Legendary Bar-B-Q restaurant in 1968, C.B. Stubblefield began selling his popular sauces to retail grocers in 1992. These products feature bold flavors made of high quality ingredients. McCormick intends to maintain the headquarters of this business in Texas. With newly expanded distribution and product offerings, annual sales growth exceeded 20 percent in both 2013 and 2014. Annual sales of the business are projected to reach $30 million in 2015.
The acquisition should be completed by the end of July 2015, subject to regulatory approval. The purchase price for Stubb's is approximately $100 million subject to certain closing adjustments. Due to the estimated impact of transaction, integration and financing costs, McCormick expects no earnings per share impact in 2015 from this acquisition. However, with plans to achieve strong growth and significant cost synergies McCormick expects incremental EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization) of at least $10 million by 2017.

We booked our stay the day before our visit due to last minute arrangements for a business trip nearby. We were the only ones in the home for our one-night stay and enjoyed our time here. The innkeepers are very hospitable and helpful and the home was very comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. We stayed in the Victorian room and thoroughly enjoyed the jacuzzi after a long day in the car. We don't know if life's journey will ever bring us this way again, but we'd be happy to stay here again and whole-heartedly recommend it!

We stayed in the Inspiration Room and shared a bathroom with the Texan bedroom. Could have used more bath towels in the bathroom.

My fiance and I stayed there for a family reunion and were very pleased with our stay. Carolyn was very friendly and hospitable...more than we expected. The house was beautiful and well decorated. We stayed in the Victorian Room and very much enjoyed the jacuzzi. One downfall to that is not having a shower, but the jacuzzi was great after a long day outdoors. Carolyn was nice enough to offer us tickets to the rodeo that evening. We had a great time and are hoping the reunion is at the same time as the rodeo next year. We would definitely stay there again. The only other downfall is that we couldn't watch the TV in our room unless the main TV was on. It really wasn't that big of a deal, but we like to wind down with the TV in the evening.

Thank you so much for your input. We value the review of your stay. I failed to mention that you were very welcome to use the hall bathroom upstairs. It does have a shower and I know a nice shower after a long day at the lake would have been very refreshing. By the time you return, we will have the television issue taken care of. Two days prior to your visit, we installed a tv in the Victorian room, so we didn't have the 'kinks' worked out. The Dish man is scheduled to install another dish. Again, thank you so much for choosing the Robey House for your weekend get away. Monte & I look forward to your next visit.

The InnKeepers decorated the outside in style, and we especially enjoyed the front porch swing at night as we watched the large lighted tree out front sway in the Texas winter-warm wind. There were even a red and green tractor parked out! My husband and I were the only guests in the entire estate for 3 days and had the full run-of-the-house! The upstairs bathroom is getting prepared for renovations, thus we were able to use the downstairs bathroom attached to the Captain's Cabin. This bathroom is crisp, clean and tastefully updated. We stayed in the Texas Room upstairs and were comfortable in the large king size bed. The satalite TV proved to be a luxury at the end of long days of holiday merriment! Overall, the Merriman's have done a great job creating a retreat from the outer-world inside The Robey House! We will definitely stay again on our next visit to Coleman. Many thanks!

Two Queen Anne student-athletes advance to swimming Districts
From our sister site My Ballard – congratulations to Queen Anne residents Josh Pehrson and Ian Rice!
Ballard Student-Athletes Advance to Regionals and State
By Bucky Beaver, Posted by Danielle Anthony-Goodwin on February 18th, 2013
Ballard High School had all five of its winter programs make the playoffs for the first time since the mid 90's. In addition to boys and girls basketball a number of student-athletes from wrestling, boys swimming, and gymnastics advanced to regionals and on to the state competition in their respective sports.
The following boys swimmers advanced to districts at the University of Washington: seniors Kyle Garrity, Duncan Fowler, Elijah Lancey, and Nathan Powell, juniors Josh Pehrson, Tim Porter, Kellen Reeder, sophomore Andrew Stevens, and freshmen Rory Carlson, Ian Rice, and Nate O'Leary. Junior diver Evan Arends also qualified. The 200 relay team consisting of Garrity, Stevens, Pehrson, and Carlson, as well as Pehrson in the 100 breaststroke advanced from districts and qualified for state as did diver Arends.
John Hay raises $2,900 for disaster relief in Japan
The weekend before last, on Saturday, May 21, John Hay students and parent volunteers put on a rummage sale and bake sale to raise money for disaster relief for victims of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. That rummage sale turned out to be a huge success, raising a total of $400 from the bake sale portion and $2,500 from the rummage sale.
The school says all proceeds from the rummage/bake sale will go directly to people in need in Japan, while any left-over items not sold at the event will go toward helping needy families here in the Seattle area.
John Hay student rummage sale for Japan Saturday
Students from John Hay Elementary will be hosting a rummage sale from 9 a.m. to noon this Saturday, May 21 at the school to raise money for disaster relief in Japan. A variety of items, including clothing, toys, books, and small appliances, will be available at the sale. Two classes of John Hay 2nd graders will also be selling baked goods and coffee at the event, the proceeds of which will also go toward the relief effort.
Can't make it to the sale but want to lend a hand? Volunteers are needed to help sort items and set up for the sale on Friday, May 20 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Those interested in volunteering their time should contact email@example.com.
All proceeds from the rummage and bake sale will be going directly to the Iwate Bank in Japan, which will use the funds for relief efforts in the areas affected by the recent earthquake and tsunami.

Surprisingly, MTV sought out and interviewed longtime producers and
directors of the Grammy telecasts, rather than only recent performers
and producers. The finished product delivered a raw, fun, and
informative look at the Grammys and its evolution. It was even
conceived as a taped program,something not always known. Still, some
things pointed out that are just silly, Re: Barbara Striesand, Andy
Williams, JLO Versace dress (actually I liked the latter, never mind.
I really never watch the other Uncensored's because they are always telling us MTV garbage I don't care too much about. This one about the Grammy's was a nice change of pace, and all in all, MTV put an excellent spin on an otherwise sham awards show.

Biz burada kalıyorum büyük bir zaman vardı. Oda gerçekten güzeldi ve her zaman iyi bir duş sıcaktı. Alanı iyiydi ve sadece yaklaşık 5 dakika wak metro - trenler gece boyunca gitmek ve biz seyahat her zaman meşgul ve güvenli hissettim - gece yarısı kadar - bazı büyük şehirlerde düzenli bir şekilde her zaman olmasa da. Biz tek sorun vardı ama Christine ve ailesi çok samimi her zaman vardı ve - duyulmasını geldiğinde çok loudy vurmak gerekiyor olsa.
We had a great time in staying here. The room was really nice and was always warm with a good shower. The area was fine and only about 5 minutes wak from the subway - trains go throughout the night and always felt busy and safe when we travelled - up to around midnight - though aren't always as regular as in some big cities. We had the odd problem but Christine and her family were always in and very friendly - though you do need to knock very loudy when you arrive to be heard.
We liked our stay in this cosy apartment. We feel at home. Its's clean. Easy to get the Subway and buses. We can Cook our own meal and we share also with the other visitors and build our friendship.
Christine and her husband are friendly and kind.
We surely will come again!
Thank you so much
It was a fantastic experience an Christine is a great host!
Great location and friendly neighborhood!
Christine was very nice and helpful person. The room was comfortable and clean. Good subway connection. I recommend this host.
Everything was uncomplicated, only 7 minutes to the subway, there was everything we needed.
Christine and her husband are very friendly.
Very good stay at christines house for a good price.
Christine is a really nice host. We spent a lovely month in her house. The neighbourhood is calm and very safe (if you have a problem, people on the street are always nice and helpful). It isn't a dangerous neighbourhood as some comments may say... My boyfriend and I often came back home at midnight or 2am and we never had any problem ! The subway is near the house (Belford Stu. : 2minutes; and Myrtle : 10 minutes). And even though you have 30 minutes of subway to go to Manhattan, you can appreciate the view that you have of NY between the subway station Marcy Av. and Essex ! The room was as expected and as it was on the pictures so no disappointment. Living at Christine's house was, for us two, like living as ordinary american citizens. I mean, if you want something perfect, go and book an expensive hotel room. But if you're searching for something nice and if you want a total immersion in the real New Yorker life, you'll be very happy to stay at Christine's House. We would love to come back one day. Brooklyn was a great surprise for us. And Christine answered to all of our questions and always found solutions when there was a problem. She and her family are really nice and really good host!! :)
Séjour plutôt agréable à Brooklyn. Nous avons logé chez Christine qui n'avait pu être présente cette semaine là. Un ephémère contact le dernier jour nous laisse imaginer combien l'accueuil est chaleureux et le partage aisé.
L'espace qui nous avait été réservé est ok même s'il n'était pas totalement identique à celui proposé par les photos ( chambre et salle de bains).
Alles in allem war das Zimmer in Ordnung, wir hatten ein kleines Problem mit der Anreise, da Christine nicht vor Ort war (aufgrund von privaten Problemen) uns hat dann aber ein nettes Pärchen in das Haus gelassen und Christines Mann kam dann um uns alles zu zeigen. Also alles gut.
Das Zimmer war ein bisschen klein aber ausreichend, für den Preis wirklich super. Die Gegend ist jetzt nicht die schönste, aber man ist in 5 Minuten an der U-Bahn.
Sauberkeit war an sich auch ok, die Mädchen die mit uns in der Wohnung gewohnt haben waren auch sehr nett.
Für den Preis ist es absolut empfehlenswert :)

SAN DIEGO (AP) - The Los Angeles Dodgers got good news on Kevin Brown's elbow injury: They think it's just torn scar tissue, but the pitcher is scheduled to undergo a more comprehensive exam on Monday.
Brown had no pain and just mild stiffness in his right elbow, team trainer Stan Johnston said after the pitcher was examined by a Padres team doctor prior to Sunday night's game against San Diego.
Brown, who had surgery on the elbow less than seven months ago, left Saturday night's game against the Padres in the second inning after throwing a 93 mph fastball to Tom Lampkin. Almost as soon as Brown released the pitch, he hopped once and held his right arm at his side.
"Obviously it's encouraging when he doesn't have pain today, and everything that we believed to be last night looks to be the same today," Dodgers general manager Dan Evans said. "It looks very encouraging."
Brown, the Padres' ace during their 1998 World Series season, is scheduled to have an MRI exam Monday in Los Angeles and then be examined by team doctors Frank Jobe and Ralph Gambardella.
After Saturday night's game, Brown said he "felt a burn."
That's not normal, Johnston said Sunday, "but you could have that same feeling of tearing an adhesion. It's like some scar tissue that let go that was stretched out. It is not stretchy material like muscle. It could have just been a little bit of scar,and that was the burn he felt."
Both Johnston and Evans said Brown was throwing his fastball the hardest he had this season, and that could have led to the injury.
"He had more fastball last night than he's had all year," Evans said. "He was throwing solid 94, 96 mph there in the second inning."
How long Brown is held out depends on his therapy, Johnston said.
"Just after one round of therapy this morning he's improved even better than he did when he first walked in here today," Johnston said.
Brown's next scheduled start is Thursday against San Diego in Los Angeles. Reliever Omar Daal would start if Brown can't, manager Jim Tracy said.

PHILADELPHIA An electric company's generosity was noted in the financial disclosure reports that city officials filed this week.
Peco and its parent company, Exelon Corp., gave at least $1,652 worth of gifts to Mayor Nutter, City Council members, and other officials, the reports show. The gifts, mostly tickets to dinner events, were disclosed in the 2013 reports that were due Thursday.
Out of 17 Council members who served last year - Bill Green has since quit to become chairman of the School Reform Commission - nine, including President Darrell L. Clarke, reported no gifts. Six reported some. Reports from two members were not available Friday.

text: [[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/panic_room.jpg]]->'''Raoul:''' Hey! What is funny about this?... Is this shit funny to you? \\'''Burnham:''' Well, I spent the last 12 years of my life building these rooms specifically to keep out people like us.2002 suspense thriller directed by Creator/DavidFincher and starring JodieFoster and a young KristenStewart. A recently divorced woman and her 12 year old daughter move into a four story Manhattan brownstone which has a fortified "panic room" in case of home invasion. Late at night three burglars (played by Creator/ForestWhitaker, Creator/JaredLeto and Music/DwightYoakam) break in looking for $3 million in bearer bonds belonging to the previous owner. The two women lock themselves up in the room, but are unable to call for help. Worse yet, the bonds were stored in the panic room and the burglars have no issue going through the new owners to get them.A box-office hit upon its release, it introduced the concept of "panic rooms" and "safe rooms" into public knowledge.----!!This film contains examples of:* ActionSurvivor: Meg starts to become one towards the end of the film, notably when she [[spoiler:whacks Raoul across the head with a sledgehammer]].* AllForNothing: [[spoiler:Burnham is forced to let the bonds go when the police tell him to put his hands up, and they're blown away by the storm.]]* AmusingInjuries: Averted. [[spoiler: Junior getting set on fire]] is portrayed realistically and painfully.* AntiVillain: Burnham. It's revealed that the only reason he took the job was because he needed the money to afford a custody lawyer.* ArtisticLicenseChemistry: The [[spoiler: propane gas the burglars pour into the panic room (which is then lit by Meg)]] would fall to the ground instead of sticking to the ceiling as it does in the movie.* ArtisticLicenseMedicine: Averted, BUT can be interpreted as one if you are unfamiliar with Type 1 Diabetes. The daughter has diabetes, and when in the panic room they try to find food to give her (which would heighten her blood sugar level) as her blood sugar drops; when they can't find any they give her a shot instead. Many unfamiliar with diabetes think this is an INSULIN shot (which is used to lower the blood sugar). However, she is injected with a drug called Glucogon, which is used to quickly raise a diabetic's blood sugar - so the portrayal is accurate, but can easily be taken as a mistake if you are unfamiliar with diabetes.* AxCrazy: Raoul. * BigBadWannabe: Junior. * BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:Just as it looks as though Raoul is going to murder Meg while Sarah watches helplessly, Burnham, who was previously making a getaway with the money, returns and shoots Raoul in the head, after deciding that he can't just let Meg and Sarah die.]]* BigFancyHouse: Meg buys the ridiculously huge house for just herself and her daughter to stick it to her rich ex-husband for a messy divorce. It even has an elevator!* BookDumb: Lydia has a moment like this:--> '''Meg:''' Ever read any [[EdgarAllanPoe Poe]]?--> '''Lydia:''' No, but I loved [[{{Music/Poe}} her last album]].* BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler:How Junior and Raoul meet their ends.]]* [[BottleEpisode Bottle Movie]]: Aside from a very brief prologue and epilogue, the movie takes place over one night and within the house.* BullyingADragon: Junior keeps berating AxCrazy Raoul over and over again. [[spoiler: Raoul finally ends the bullying with a headshot.]]* CellPhonesAreUseless: Meg makes a dash into the bedroom and grabs her cell phone, but the walls of the panic room are too thick to get a signal.* ClosedCircle: Meg and Sarah are trapped in the panic room, and the thieves won't leave until they get the money inside. [[spoiler:Later, the situation gets inverted: when Meg attempts to get Sarah's diabetes shots, Burnham and Raoul get inside and lock Meg out. However, Meg also has a gun, and there's only one way out of the room.]]* ClusterFBomb: A fair bit of Junior and Raoul's dialogue. Especially when the latter is ''really'' mad.* ColdBloodedTorture: [[spoiler:Raoul's treatment of Stephen.]]* ComicTrio: Although they aren't exactly comedic, the burglars fit the role nicely. Junior's the navigator, Raoul is the driver and Burnham's in the backseat.* ConscienceMakesYouGoBack: [[spoiler:Burnham has the bonds and is leaving the house, but can't bring himself to leave Meg, Sarah and Stephen to die, so he returns and shoots Raoul down.]]* CutPhoneLines: The thieves cut the main phone lines of the house to prevent Meg and her daughter from calling out, while the phone in the titular room is on a different line but hasn't been installed yet. However, Junior simply cut the cord of the kitchen phone, not the entire line. Meg manages to jury rig the panic room's phone into the main line and get a call for help out before the thieves disconnect the lines for real. * DeadpanSnarker: Evan, the guy showing Meg around the house at the beginning. Also Sarah.** Even Raoul gets in the act, when he's still TheStoic.-->*Junior smashes a mirror in frustation*-->'''Raoul''': That's seven years bad luck.* TheDeterminator: Raoul. [[spoiler: Despite having his fingers crushed, getting shot, taking a sledgehammer to the face, falling over a railing and hitting the floor, breaking some bones, and getting stabbed by Sarah, he still attempts to kill Meg, until Burnham steps in.]]* DidntWantAnAdventure: A villain variation; the house was supposed to be empty when the burglars came.* DropTheHammer: Meg uses a sledgehammer on Raoul [[spoiler:(his attempt to do the same fails).]] Earlier, she uses it to [[spoiler:break the security cameras.]]* EarnYourHappyEnding: In a rare turn from a David Fincher film, [[spoiler:Raoul and Junior are killed, Burnham redeems himself and Meg and Sarah survive and look for a new house.]]* EpicTrackingShot: From one floor down to another, through keyholes and coffeemakers.* EstablishingCharacterMoment:** Junior has a one of these, when he discovers to his chagrin that Meg and Sarah are already in the house, he explains that when the realtors told him how many days it would be before they moved in, he assumed they meant business days.** [[spoiler:Raoul's completely casual murder of Junior. Burnham is understandably horrified.]]* ExtremelyShortTimespan: Most of the film unfolds over a single night.* EyeScream: [[spoiler:Raoul has his right eye blown out from behind by [[HeelFaceTurn Burnham]]]].* EveryoneKnowsMorse: Sarah learned "SOS" from ''Film/{{Titanic 1997}}'', and attempts to signal a neighbor by flashing it through a vent. [[spoiler:It doesn't work.]]* {{Fingore}}: Raoul loses at least two of his fingers and most likely broke the rest of them when the panic room door slams shut on them, after he had his hand positioned out of range of the door sensors. Once the loot is scored, we see Raoul pick them up while leaving the panic room.* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Burnham is phlegmatic, Junior is choleric and Raoul is melancholic.* GeniusBruiser: Burnham is the biggest guy on screen (though he doesn't actually do much fighting), and he is also by far the most intelligent; he shows a level of competence in various fields and a resourcefulness equal to Meg's.* GenreSavvy: Generally quite a high level of this is shown by most characters in the film who are not explicitly shown to be quite thick. The only exception being the burglars not breaking the security cameras, though this is lampshaded as a silly thing to have missed.* GladIThoughtOfIt: When Burnham and Raoul begin to hatch their plan with the propane gas, Junior chimes in from the sidelines, "I was just thinking we should do something like this!"* GutPunch: See [[spoiler:Raoul]]'s EstablishingCharacterMoment.* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Burnham, who goes back to save Meg and Sarah from Raoul.]]* HopeSpot: Several - one of which being when Meg and Sarah think they might have managed to alert one of their neighbors to their plight... [[spoiler:and he simply closes his bedroom blinds in annoyance, believing their signal to be a faulty light.]]* HowlOfSorrow: Meg lets out a howl of despair and rage when [[spoiler:Raoul starts to severely beat Stephen, while all she can do is watch helplessly.]]* IHaveNoIdeaWhatImDoing: Meg's response when trying to wire the panic room phone into the main line.* {{Irony}}: The fact that a panic room Burnham built is keeping him and his crew from accomplishing their burglary. This is not lost on him.* TheKeyIsBehindTheLock: The movie's premise is basically this, but one bit highlights this in particular. When trying to lure out Meg and Sarah by filtering propane gas into the panic room, Burnham warns Raoul not to crank the gas too high. When Junior scoffs that the worst that can happen is that Meg and Sarah pass out, Burnham asks him how they plan to get into the room if the occupants are passed out.* LargeHam: Jared Leto as Junior.* LimaSyndrome: Two of the housebreakers [[AccidentalKidnapping accidentally end up taking hostages]] when the supposedly empty house was occupied earlier than expected, and then find themselves locked in the panic room with a girl about to slip into a diabetic coma. One of them is an AxCrazy murderer who talks about needing to kill her since she's seen his face, but the other one does everything he can to prevent her getting hurt. [[spoiler: In the end, he gives up his opportunity to escape with the loot so that he can rescue the girl and her mother (who had come pretty close to killing him a couple of times) from his deranged accomplice]].* LittleMissSnarker: Sarah.* MalevolentMaskedMen: Raoul. * MamaBear: Meg will do anything to protect Sarah, even threatening to kill Burnham and Raoul if [[spoiler:they let Sarah die]].* NeverHurtAnInnocent: Burnham, who refuses to take physical action ("I told you, I don't hurt people") and intervenes when Junior's and Raoul's tactics get out of hand.* NobodyPoops: Averted. Meg is shown going to the toilet in the middle of the night and her urinating is audible.* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:Stephen]] is assumed dead by Meg, until she discovers that, although badly injured, he's still alive.* OhCrap:--> '''Burnham:''' Turn the gas off. Turn the gas off ''right now''.** Sarah has a similar reaction when she realizes what her Mom was about to do.--> '''Sarah:''' Oh my God.* OnlySaneMan: Burnham.* PapaWolf: Stephen Altman. He doesn't have the opportunity to do much after [[spoiler: Raoul captures and tortures him]], but he gets points for [[spoiler:calling the police in the first place]].* PoliceAreUseless: Played with and ultimately averted: [[spoiler: Meg calls 911, only to be put on hold. She then calls Stephen for help, only for the burglars to cut the cord, but not before Stephen gets suspicious and calls the police himself. They show up and confront Meg at the front door, and [[GenreSavvy do indeed notice that something is horribly wrong]]. They later return with a SWAT-squad.]]* PrecisionFStrike: Meg is so bad at this her twelve-year-old daughter has to tell her how, and even then she screws it up. On the other hand...** ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: ... she manages this quite well when talking to Stephen's new paramour.-->'''Meg:''' Put him on the phone, bitch!** Sarah gets one early in the movie when Meg is still feeling down about their family situation.-->'''Sarah''': Fuck him.-->'''Meg''': Don't.-->'''Sarah''': Fuck her, too.-->'''Meg''': I agree, but don't.* ProtectThisHouse* PunchClockVillain: Burnham. And, unlike Junior and Raoul, he refuses to hurt people.* RapeAsDrama: Early in the movie, Meg and Sarah are in the panic room looking at the intruders on the closed-circuit TV, Sarah asks why the men are there. Meg replied that the robbers may want to rob them or ... something else. She trails off without finishing the thought, but it's clear that (as she doesn't think there's much of particular value in the house), she is worried about being raped.** Later, after [[spoiler: Sarah has ended up locked in the panic room with the burglars]] the first thing Meg says after being reunited is "Did they hurt you? Did they touch you?" in a tone of voice that clearly shows how terrified she was that this might have happened.* RealisticDictionIsUnrealistic: When Raoul threatens Junior, Junior scoffs at his tough-guy talk: "Don't start spouting some Elmore Leonard bullshit you just heard because I saw that movie too!" [[spoiler: Junior learns too late that Raoul's words were more than just talk.]]* RuleOfCool: The [[InSceneTitleText three dimensional opening credits]] that look like they're floating above various shots of the New York City skyline.* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Junior. It is debatable whether [[spoiler: Raoul]] would have actually let him leave anyway, [[WhatAnIdiot but muttering loudly to yourself information that shows you've been lying to your fellow criminals is not a good idea.]]* ShowerOfAngst: Meg, still broken over her husband leaving her, cries in the bathtub.* SirSwearsALot: Junior and Raoul.* TheSociopath: Raoul. * SoftSpokenSadist: Raoul unless he's genuine angry.* TheStoic: Raoul... [[NotSoStoic at first]].* TechnicolorFire: Blue.* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: [[spoiler:Shooting Junior well and truly dead doesn't stop Raoul from putting another bullet into his head, just because he ''can''.]]* TokenEvilTeammate: Raoul unlike Burnham who is good hearted and Junior who is too dumb. * TriggerHappy: Raoul, although Junior clearly doesn't know just how much of a psychopathic lunatic he really is [[spoiler:until it's too late.]]* WouldHurtAChild: Raoul implies that he plans to kill Sarah, and at one point outright threatens to do it. He also punches her across the room in the final fight.* WrongGenreSavvy: [[StarterVillain Junior]] believes he's the DiabolicalMastermind, that [[DragonInChief Raoul]] is the DumbMuscle and [[TokenGoodTeammate Burnham]] is TheSmartGuy. Turns out, he was only right about the ''last'' one.* XanatosSpeedChess: Meg and Burnham are quite well matched in this regard, and engage in a lot of this as they try to outmaneuver each other.* YourCheatingHeart: The reason Meg and Stephen divorced is because of the latter having an affair.----

Don't look for A-Rod in Tampa for Spring Training
Many Yankee fans hope to see N0. 13 on the green grass of?George M. Steinbrenner Field at least for Spring Training in about a month. But not so fast in this well penned story from ESPN Insider Jayson Stark thinks that A-Rod will not been seen anywhere near the Yankees complex.
So?Alex Rodriguez?is "100 percent certain" he'll be teeing it up in spring training next month?
What spring training is that?
The training camp of the Suspended For The Year All-Stars maybe. If he can find it. Or invent it.
But?New York Yankees?spring training? At George M. Steinbrenner Field?
I'd bet there's as good a chance of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig suiting up at Steinbrenner Field this spring as there is of A-Rod setting foot on that field.
I've had a chance to talk this weekend with several industry sources who are eminently familiar with both baseball's basic agreement and its joint drug agreement. None are convinced that those agreements clearly give a player like this, who has been suspended for the season, the right to show up for spring training as if everything was cool.
For one thing, the wording of the joint drug agreement, when it addresses suspended players attending spring training, couldn't possibly be more vague. It's so vague, in fact, that it wouldn't be a bad idea for somebody to file a grievance over it, just so we can figure out what the heck it does mean.
But pending further legalities, that agreement says only that the definition of a "game" for which those players are suspended does "not include spring training games, extended spring training games or affiliated Winter League games."
Nowhere, though, does that agreement specifically give suspended players the "right" to attend spring training or to play in spring training games. More of the?Jayson Stark story HERE...

David Love's "Low Information White Working Class Voters Will Be Our Undoing," led the pack, followed by Karen Finney's "Neil Munro's Incivility"
Repubs and the Art of Flip-Flopping
Michael Sigman: The three so-called top-tier Republican presidential candidates — Mitt Romney, Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann — are, even as we speak, busy disavowing their inconvenient earlier statements by employing what an old boss of mine called the "Let's do a 180" strategy.

Washington May Be Broken Now, But the Future Is Up for Grabs
Michael Sigman: But lest the healthy anger of progressives during the Bush years curdle into full-blown, hide-under-the-covers depression, it's worth asking: When did Washington work, anyway?
My Heart Cries for Mitch Miller
Michael Sigman: Mitch Miller, the musical maven of middle-of-the-road pop who died in Manhattan Saturday at 99, became a household name via his early-'60s TV show Sing Along With Mitch . Long before that, he — along with Frank Sinatra and a guy named Al Cernick — provided my dad, songwriter Carl Sigman, with the flukiest hit of his career.
America's Cheesiest Charttoppers
Michael Sigman: Revisiting some of the greatest records that never made the pop charts was a heavenly experience. But like so many of life's pleasures, it was backed with an annoying flip side: Long-suppressed neuronal connections were re-activated, and I became obsessed with the most appalling music ever to worm its way into the Top 10.
Falling For Feldenkrais: A Patient's Progress
Michael Sigman: For an obsessive swimmer who craves the endorphins, the past two years of failed therapies for a bum shoulder have been a bummer.

Are we leaving the arts out of journalism?
Like most journalists, I look to reports like the recently released Tow Center report on the changing nature of the field for guidance, for ways of thinking about what I do. But what I find is that what I do as a critic is increasingly marginalized or ignored by such studies.
In the thousands of words in the report from Tow, based at the Columbia School of Journalism and written by some of the finest minds in the field, there is a glaring void. There is no real consideration of cultural dialogue and criticism, perhaps the fastest shrinking segment of mainstream media today. Journalism worth doing is defined as investigative, watchdog journalism, the stories that somebody, somewhere doesn't want written. I would agree that this is the core of good journalism. »Read Full Blog Post(9)
Street party at Burnhearts benefits Bay View neighborhoods
They'll be dancing in the streets from noon to 8 p.m. Saturday outside Burnhearts, 2599 S. Logan Ave. No worries: They've been doing this for six years. They've got it down. The idea is to raise funds for the Bay View Neighborhood Association.
Restaurants Honey Pie and Classic Slice will be selling food, and there will be an art and craft fair with goods from local artists, plus live screenpainting with Redwall. Braid, Mama Digdown's Brass Band and the Championship will provide the music. DJ WHY B will be on hand. »Read Full Article
Artists turn Fond du Lac Ave. into their canvas
In 1842, Johnsons Park was a farm where escaped slave Caroline Quarlls stayed, marking the start of the Underground Railroad in the area. A century after that pocket of the city harbored slaves seeking freedom, and a generation after homes in the neighborhood were razed to make way for a freeway, dislocation remains an ongoing issue for many living and working in and around a swath of Fond du Lac Ave., according to the organizers of a community-driven, yearlong public art project.
The public art initiative along 20 blocks of Fond du Lac Ave., between N. 17th and 37th streets, is designed to help Milwaukeeans rediscover this once vital artery and its history while engaging with artists and each other. »Read Full Article

The band plays until 7:30 p.m. when DJ Kid Millions takes the stage, followed by Kane Place Records from 9 to 10 p.m. Bonfire pits will allow party-goers to see each other and keep them warm if the temperatures drop. »Read Full Article

Fond du Lac Ave. art project; flamenco guitar performance
Ties that bind
Fond du Lac Ave. ties Milwaukee's downtown to the northwest side of the city. And the In:Site temporary public art project to be on display along the avenue from 17th to 37th streets hopes to tie together the people of those neighborhoods and the rest of the city. "Art on Fond du Lac" features thought-provoking installations that put a spotlight on the area and the needs of the people who call it home. Included in the projects are a sculptural urban greenhouse by George Jones; a tribute to Mattiebelle Woods, the first lady of Milwaukee's black press; and a painting on the avenue itself (at its intersection with Locust St.) by Reggie Baylor. »Read Full Article
