Milwaukee's new arts season satisfies diverse range of tastes
Milwaukee's new performing arts season will be as epic as "Ragtime" and as lyrical as Emily Dickinson, as massive as Present Music's band of 99 and as intimate as two guys playing cello.
And it may surprise you: The two guys playing cello may be louder than the band of 99. »Read Full Article(2)
A three-star night at the Iron Horse
Coming over the 6th St. viaduct last night, there were already hints that it'd be an interesting night. The big Harley-Davidson anniversary fete might be a few weeks away still, but more riders than usual were sidled up side-by-side at the Harley-Davidson Museum.
Bike night at the Iron Horse Hotel, just up the road and a home away from home for riders, was roaring. Sure enough, there were more leather-clad and tattooed bikers in "the yard" than most weeks. »Read Full Blog Post
Alchemist's 'Burden of Being' Has Promise, Needs Work
Aaron Bradway (Michael David Stoddard) is at the top of the world: college-bound class valedictorian and boyfriend to Princess (Rachael Zientek), class diva. While Princess is human and Aaron is a puppet monster resembling a young Yoda, that's no barrier when one is starting out and confident of success.
But even the title of Robby McGhee's "The Burden of Being" — the new puppet musical that opened Thursday night at Alchemist Theatre — hints at what we all learn, somewhere between high school and 30: Life, as one character informs Aaron, throws us curve balls. »Read Full Article

15 noteworthy sandwiches in Milwaukee
Great sandwiches this summer at Love Handle on the east side and Bavette in the Third Ward got me thinking about other sandwiches I have known and loved around town. Before long, I had a healthy list.
Far from an exhaustive compilation of every great sandwich in and around Milwaukee, this list comprises the best sandwiches I've had lately, beyond those at the two new restaurants. Some I first had a decade ago, or even longer; some are more recent happy discoveries. »Read Full Article(8)

The number one online retailer, Amazon, said it will start collecting Pennsylvania sales tax on orders shipped to the state, beginning Saturday.
The Seattle-based company has previously refused to include Pennsylvania's 6 percent levy on its orders.
A spokesman said that it's now reversed itself because a state directive requires it to take effect Saturday.

Feb 15, 2006
David: Since the space where most of us are looking for impact is pretty close to the clinic, I think that a lot of this is actually going to be directed from a regulatory angle. We knew that omics had arrived in large pharma when the FDA started asking for the data.
Colin: But David, the FDA didn't start asking for genomics data until relatively recently, and it was five, six, seven years ago that genomics really took hold and was ubiquitous throughout the industry.
Stan: I agree with Colin on that. What the FDA is now doing is asking for voluntary genomics data submission. And it's probably a minimum of five years before they get beyond voluntary to mandate it in the areas that they're already looking at. It's only when we all see the value very clearly that they will then start asking for it. The value for us would come in the form of improved failure rates in Phase III clinical trials.
Alex: What is interesting is the white paper that [the FDA] put out on Innovation or Stagnation -- The Critical Path Initiative. They talk about trying to generally and broadly use technology and [to] encourage use of technology and specifically. I think the fact they even stuck a flag in the ground is encouraging. The industry reaction has been, maybe we need to take a little closer look at this, which is exactly what the FDA wanted.
Keith: If you look at when we can really see that modeling has had an impact will be when companies like Pfizer take models to the FDA to prove their points, not when the FDA asks for them.

Overall Experience
Good hotel
September 26, 2016
Hotel was clean and easy access from the airport. Hotel is located in a good part of town with easy access to restaurants.
Good place to stay
September 21, 2016
Not to far from Notre Dame campus. The bed was comfortable and the staff were helpful and friendly.
Overall nice stay
September 14, 2016
Overall the place was great. I thought for the price I was paying there should have been free breakfast. All the prices were inflated that weekend due to the football game but overall I think for a place as nice as this hotel there should be some sort of free breakfast.
Money wisely spent

US-HEALTH Summary
Sep 15, 2011, 10:27 p.m.
Analysis: Bachmann vaccine comments toxic, doctors say
CHICAGO (Reuters) - No matter how much the U.S. medical community repudiates the suggestion by presidential candidate Michele Bachmann that a vaccine for human papillomavirus (HPV) is dangerous, doctors fear the damage has already been done. Physicians are bracing for more parents to refuse the HPV vaccine, which protects against the most common cause of cervical cancer, for their daughters.
Prescription drugs poisonings up in kids
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - More and more kids are showing up in the emergency room after accidental poisoning from prescription drugs, according to new research. The findings show that powerful painkillers and sedatives including sleep aids and muscle relaxants are behind much of that rise, and that the poisonings usually occur when kids get into medications themselves -- not when parents give them too much by mistake.
115 U.S. children, teens died from flu last season: CDC
(Reuters) - Some 115 U.S. children and teens died from influenza last flu season, and many of those deaths were of children who had not gotten an annual flu shot, U.S. health officials said on Thursday. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends flu shots for children as young as six months old, yet less than a quarter of the 74 children over age six months who died between September 2010 and August 2011 had been vaccinated.
U.S. government draws fire for pulling doctor data
(Reuters) - Consumer advocates and journalism groups are fighting a U.S. government move to cut public access to a database of malpractice claims and damages paid by doctors around the nation. The Association of Health Care Journalists (AHCJ) and Consumers Union on Thursday joined several groups in criticizing curbs by a U.S. health agency earlier this month on public access to a database of malpractice settlements over concerns of a breach of one doctor's confidentiality.
Western states lead in reducing lung cancer rates: study
BOSTON (Reuters) - Western U.S. states boast the lowest rates and most rapid decline in lung cancer in the nation as fewer people smoke cigarettes, a study released on Thursday showed. Over nearly a decade, from 1999 to 2008, rates of new lung cancer cases dropped among men in 35 states and women in six states, with residents in the West leading the pack, the report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
FDA warns about cantaloupe linked to illness, deaths
CHICAGO (Reuters) - The Food and Drug Administration warned consumers on Thursday not to eat cantaloupe grown in part of Colorado after two deaths from what it said was the first Listeria outbreak traced to the melon. Jensen Farms, grower of the cantaloupe in the Rocky Ford region of Colorado, voluntarily recalled the melons earlier in the week. The melons were sent to at least 17 states.
China newborn baby deaths fall with improved healthcare
HONG KONG (Reuters) - Far fewer newborn babies in China are dying compared to 15 years ago, researchers reported on Friday, underscoring the success of a Chinese programme to encourage women to deliver in hospitals rather than at home. Deaths among newborn babies fell 62 percent to 9.3 for every 1,000 live births in 2008, compared to 24.7 in 1996, they wrote in a paper published in The Lancet medical journal.

Icon is one of the coolest American boutique vehicle builders around today, known in part for its talent of combining the looks of classic vehicles with modern powertrains and features to create something beautiful. A new video takes a sentimental look at the company's philosophy and at two of its more recent creations – the Thriftmaster truck and E-Flyer bicycle.

Take a ride with new Icon Chevy Thriftmaster truck
- Brandon Turkus
- Feb 11, 2014
We were big fans of the Icon Chevrolet Thriftmaster when it debuted at the 2013 SEMA Show (okay, we're kind of big fans of whatever Icon does). Its retro looks and beautiful craftsmanship combined with a brawny 5.3-liter V8 make it seem like a prime vehicle for summer's night cruise.
Icon's new old Thriftmaster is masterful, but hardly thrifty
- Noah Joseph
- Nov 7, 2013
If you've been jonesing for some news from Icon, the release of the E-Flyer electric bicycle the other day may or may not have done the trick. But either way, the Californian company known for retrofitting and restoring classic trucks is back with the Thriftmaster, which it has helpfully displayed on the show floor at SEMA (incidentally, with an E-Flyer in the bed).

The European Football Championships are upon us, and with them an eclectic mix of prediction models from media organisations, financial institutions and independent statisticians. To assuage our FOMO (fear of missing out, for the non-Millennials), the FT has joined in with one of our own.
Spain are favourites to lift the trophy, narrowly ahead of Germany and hosts France, based on our method which uses Champions League appearances and players' market values to determine each team's strength. This trio of teams comes in well ahead of the other 21 countries taking part.

NEWARK,N.J. - Mayor Cory Booker of Newark was at it again last week.
Eating like a food-stamp recipient to understand poverty, Booker documented his experience on five social media sites. Flirting with running for governor against Republican Gov. Christie, he kept legions of lesser-known Democratic challengers biting their nails. And enhancing his "super mayor" reputation, he pulled over to help someone after a car crash.
All of that garnered national attention, further building the profile of the 43-year-old Democrat whose social-media moves and propensity for the extraordinary have made him a political phenom.
Meanwhile - and unbeknownst to most of Booker's 1.3 million Twitter followers - a political crisis was brewing in Newark City Hall. That's where Philadelphia native Modia "Mo" Butler came in.

Louisiana - Call-Out
The call for help has been heard, we need Illinois Baptist who are willing to respond.
There are over 65,000 homes affected in Southern Louisiana. Damage reaches from Mississippi line, north of Hammond to Eunice/Opelousas. The disaster also reaches to Lafayette, New Iberia and Lake Charles. Baton Rouge, Denham Springs, Walker, and Livingston areas are hit the hardest.
Over 60 churches have anywhere from 2 inches up to 5 feet of water in their sanctuaries. More than 60 pastors and staff homes are also underwater as well. It is expected that this response will last into October before the Rebuild Phase moves begins.

Illinois Disaster Relief Teams are responding to the massive flooding in Louisiana. Floodwaters have damaged more than 7,000 homes and affected 28 parishes (counties).
Normally states closest to Louisiana, such as Texas, Mississippi, and Arkansas would be the first to respond. But the volunteers in those areas are currently responding to flooding in their own states. Illinois Disaster Relief has accepted the call to assist with the flood recovery efforts in the Leesburg, Louisiana area.
State Disaster Relief coordinator Rex Alexander shared, "Our teams will be serving for several weeks -- possibly into May. The Williamson Association, Capital City Association, and First Baptist Galatia as well as individuals from all over the state will be serving in Louisiana."
How can Illinois Baptists help? "Long distance travel to Louisiana will increase the cost of this disaster response so prayer and donations from Illinois Baptists are especially needed at this time," Alexander said.
Updates are also available at www.Facebook.com/IllinoisBaptist.
Donate online now. To donate by mail, send a check payable to IBSA Disaster Relief to: Illinois Baptist State Association, P.O. Box 19247, Springfield, IL 62703.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Ah, what could have been.
After last season, monstrous and athletic defensive end Julius Peppers became a free agent. One of the many teams lusting after the 6-foot-7, 283-pounder was the New England Patriots.
How would Peppers have looked in a Patriots uniform, with New England taking advantage of his versatility to line him up at various spots on the field, turning him loose to rush the passer, watching him chase down a running back or dropping him back in coverage?
Such thoughts no doubt had New England coach Bill Belichick salivating at the prospect of unleashing such a skillful and strong defensive weapon on the opposition.
Peppers, meanwhile, was doing his due diligence as he approached free agency for the first time after spending his first eight seasons with the Carolina Panthers.
And he chose Chicago for several reasons, not the least of which was the six-year, $91.5 million contract the Bears lavished upon him.
On Sunday, Peppers will be lining up against the Patriots as the Bears (9-3) host New England (10-2) at Soldier Field.
"I thought about a lot of teams, including New England," the 30-year-old Peppers said Wednesday via a conference call. "At that point of free agency you have to look at all the options, look at the better franchises. I definitely looked into it a little bit, playing for those guys."
But the Bears' scheme, coaches and, of course, money lured him to Chicago. Peppers counts himself fortunate to be in the Windy City.
"Everything has been going great, actually, personally and professionally," he said. "It was a big decision for me and I think I picked the perfect place."
While Peppers wasn't a dominant force at the outset of the season, at least not if you put stock in sack and forced-fumble totals, he was a big piece of the Chicago defense. Lately, he has been racking up impressive stats. He enters the game against the Patriots with seven sacks (five in his past three games), three forced fumbles, one interception and five passes defensed.
Not coincidentally, the Bears, who also have gotten some consistency from the sometimes-erratic quarterback Jay Cutler, are leading the NFC North and riding a five-game winning streak.
Chicago coach Lovie Smith is thrilled that the Bears made contact with Peppers at 12:01 a.m. on the first day teams were able to talk to free agents.
"You need an impact player [on defense], especially for us, because everything we do defensively starts up front. That's exactly what he has been for us, an impact player," Smith said.
"He's an all-down player. He can rush the passer. He plays the run as hard as he does the pass. He's a legitimate pass rusher but he has the speed to get to the outside [to pursue running backs]. He was elected a captain for a reason. He comes to work with his lunch pail. I couldn't be more pleased.
"No doubt, he makes the defense better. We've had great football players here, but this is a special player we're talking about," Smith said.
Peppers was named the NFC Defensive Player of the Week for his three-sack performance in a 16-0 win at Miami on Nov. 18, and picked up NFC Defensive Player of the Month honors in November. Since entering the league in 2002, Peppers has racked up 88 sacks, with only Dwight Freeney and Jason Taylor, each with 92, having more over that span.
Belichick couldn't contain his enthusiasm and respect for Peppers at his media briefing on Wednesday.
"He's not a one-man band but you have to account for him on every play," Belichick said. "He has quickness, speed, strength, length. He's just a real good player."
Accounting for Peppers may mean double-teaming him, which could leave other talented Bears defensive linemen more opportunities to make plays. And if the Patriots put just one man on him, Peppers could turn into a disruptive one-man band.
Peppers' versatility had Belichick, the former defensive coach, envisioning what could have been had Peppers elected to join the Patriots, though the coach didn't address that possibility directly.
"You could put him anywhere on the field," Belichick said. "He can play on the front line, he could play linebacker. He could play strong safety. He could play anywhere on the defensive line. He's tall. Richard Seymour was tall and he played there. Put him out at tight end, make a left tackle out of him. I wouldn't want to tackle him if he was carrying the ball. He's a great player."
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady certainly will have to account for Peppers.
"He's one of the best in the league. He's big, strong, fast, athletic. He's got seven sacks, wreaking havoc," Brady said.
The number of sacks, though, can be somewhat misleading. A player of Peppers' caliber can occupy two or three offensive players, making it easier for teammates to make big plays. In the Bears' case, that means linebackers Brian Urlacher and Lance Briggs, among others.
The Patriots held Peppers without a sack in a 20-10 win over the Panthers last season.
"I guess if you look at numbers, I didn't have a sack, but I thought I had a decent game," he said.
Peppers plans on playing another solid game Sunday, aware that his team will be facing a stern test.
"We're going to be playing a very good football team that is playing well," he said. "It's a huge challenge for us to see where we are as a football team, to see how well we can play against a team like the New England Patriots that is playing as well as they are."
That challenge works both ways, including the Patriots' challenge to neutralize Julius Peppers.

Asian girls must marry their own kind!

at the end of the day parents always know whats right for their child...they woulld never do something to hurt them.
But my point is, please do not indoctrinate your children. Teach them to question what they are told and tell them about all the different reli...oh who am I kidding, you're gonna do the exact same thing your parents did. Do prove me wrong
Offline1ReputationRep:(Original post by Tasneemo)
to hold respect in the family name or something.
it's a pride thing. Communities are proud of their own kind and look down upon others, so marrying someone from another culture/religion is practically belittling yourself and will tarnish the family name.
Because their parents are afraid of change and too ignorant to see that inter-cultural mixing is healthy.
(Original post by surina_xxx)
I'm asian and that is far from true everyone in my family like my cousins have married who every they wanted to and their parents havn't cared about race or anything
I love a muslim girl but she said her brother would go insane if she was to go out with me - there was a time during a revision session when her brother actually came into school to see who she was hanging out with *Sigh* I feel depressed every time I think about it
(Original post by AishaTara)
I'm with you with that one! Sme I want to stick to my own race and people are like whyy, is it because of your parents influence?? Which isn't true at all, i came to that conclusion myself.

I'm sure "non asians" don't mind people marrying in to their own race, i mean most people marry into their own race. But i do feel that this should not be forced upon anyone though. The statement "Asian girls must marry their own kind!" is a tad silly.
Offline2ReputationRep:(Original post by Angelus)
Break out of the tradition. Your parents are just holding on to what they believe is right. Thing is: that is not what all the Asians of this generation believe. I would tell such Asians to not carry on a tradition due to pressure or guilt, but do what they feel is right.
Offline3ReputationRep:(Original post by AishaTara)
well not really because they'd be social factors for example, I don't drink, wouldn't want alcohol in the house, but an english husband might do etc
well there are about over 10million muslims so I dont think I'd be limited for choice really :P
and I should yes your right, but personally well I wouldn't fall in love with another nationality, because I just don't feel anything in that way for them only like friends :/ the same way some of my english friends say they dont feel any attraction to asians
How do you know you won't find someone else attractive? It not usually PLANNED!
There are plenty of mixed race couples, so clearly some English people DO find Asians attractive.
I just think judging people based on their ethnicity like that is actually a bit racist. But each to their own I guess.
I think its just easier? Like same culture, language and whatnot..
But in saying that, if you're both born in the UK and grown up with the culture then you'd have the same culture (and language) anyway?
I know a a lot of people who have got married to other cultures (who were Asian) so I don't agree with the title of this thread =/
(Original post by Tinkle)
i agree! it has never been forced upon me to marry my own kind. it is my own decison...i think i am old enough to make that decision! that fact that its forced upon some asian girls is quite unfortunate..but its never been forced upon me.
i know people who are indian and have married turkish people english people i dont think its based on ethnicity but mainly religion
(Original post by MDMD)
<facepalm> Parents do all sorts of stupid sh*t, don't you watch the news? Plenty of examples there. Like a mother injecting an 8 year old with botox and giving her virgin waxes. She thinks shes doing it for the good of the child.

Asian parents are usually pretty insane and feel the need to control their kid's life.
I go to an international school abroad and the South Asian kids are usually the kids revising every night all year instead of going out.

The Google Data Center in Council Bluffs was briefly locked down as police investigated a threat Friday.
Sgt. Chad Meyers told KETV NewsWatch 7 an employee or former employee made a threat of some kind that prompted the lock down at the site off 11th Street and Highway 275, just north of Lake Manawa.
The person suspected of making the threat is being questioned by Council Bluffs police.

Real Stewardship
Rick Vuyst hosts a local call-in radio gardening show in my hometown. Vuyst, who identifies himself an "entre-manure," weekly "soils" the airwaves with gardening advice. But don't let his "cracked pot" puns fool you. If you're having problems with your lawn or plants, this master gardener can help, often telling listeners who have called in, "Thank you very 'mulch.' "
Lessons from the Young
On the way home from soccer practice last week, my 12-year-old son busily jotted his thoughts onto a notepad he had brought with him. When he finished, he handed it to me and said, "This is what I [created]."
Happiness & Joy
My wife, Merryn, and I spent last Christmas on the Isle of Mull in Scotland. With its snow-capped mountains and vivid landscape, it's a truly beautiful place! One moment we drove through snowstorms, the next we saw double rainbows appear from end to end. To me, Mull is a place of fairytales.
Behold Him
When was the last time you lingered in silence simply to delight in the beauty of God? One Christian artist thinks that "beholding" His beauty is essential in a Christian's life. Writer Joseph Sunde, in a blog post titled "Beauty on a Bike Ride," quoted artist Mako Fujimura as saying: "Perhaps the greatest thing we can do as a Christian community is to behold. Behold our God. Behold His creation."
Stewards Unaware
Recently I met the captain of one of the boats featured on Wicked Tuna, National Geographic Channel's reality television show. The show follows the lives of bluefin tuna fishermen living in the US. Bluefin tuna are some of the largest marine creatures. They can grow to 10 feet long and weigh more than 1,000 pounds. Sadly, illegal practices and over-fishing have seriously threatened their population.
Knowing the Deeper Things
As scientists have continued to search the Mariana Trench, which lies 26,000 feet under the Pacific Ocean's surface, they've discovered a new species of fish never seen before—one which researchers describe as a mix between a puppy, an angel, and an eel. It's mind-boggling and humbling to think that even after so much time and effort has been spent trying to understand this planet, there's still so much that we don't know about all that God has created.
God Won't Fit
Years ago, when our youngest son was 5, Seth asked during breakfast, "What day is it? Am I going to school today?" "Yes, it's Tuesday," my wife answered. An excited smile broke across Seth's face. "Tuesday?! Today is sharing day!" I asked Seth what he was supposed to share. "Something that begins with the letter D," he said. I grinned. "Well . . . you could bring . . . Daddy." "No," Seth replied matter-of-factly, "you wouldn't fit in my cubby."
One More Year
Happy New Year! Today marks the day that planet Earth has once again completed its annual orbit around the sun. Just how many times the earth has made its journey is anyone's guess. But we do know the voyage is a long one—584 million miles, to be exact.
A Bigger Story
It's a little cartoon with a simple plot. The Christmas pageant is approaching, and the boy-director can't do anything right. Now, 50 years later, A Charlie Brown Christmas still draws excellent ratings in parts of the world. Why?
Marvel Amid the Mess
It's the kind of photo that compels even tough guys to use words like adorable and precious. And many women? They'll say "Awwwww" in one long, heartrending syllable while clutching at their hearts and contorting their faces into maudlin expressions.
odd couples
Wolves devour lambs. Leopards pounce on goats. A calf is never safe around a lion, and neither is a child! Though very touching, the picture of predators living in harmony with their prey can strike us as naïve. Prophetic pictures of such a scene have been interpreted different ways, but the image is striking. So, how different would things have to be for animals to be able to live like that? Perhaps not that different at all.
bring on the bees
Bees can identify certain scents from nearly 3 miles away. Because of their keen sense of smell, ability to fly, and minimal bodyweight, they make ideal bomb-sniffers. Croatian scientist Nikola Kezic has trained bees to detect TNT—an explosive used in his country's many active landmines. He trains the bees by mixing tiny amounts of TNT with sugar. When the bees are released over a minefield, they'll fly to areas where they smell the explosive—hoping to find some sweet dessert!
Shine like Stars
I'm not exactly what you would call a stargazer, but I've spent my fair share of clear nights gazing up into the heavens. I've learned enough about the star field to point out constellations such as the Big Dipper or Orion's Belt or Aquarius. And I'll never forget the time that locating the North Star was the only thing that saved me from spending the night lost in a cold, wet swamp. I used it to find my way out of the inky darkness.
true beauty
Beauty isn't skin deep—not for the believer or for those who don't know Jesus. A movement to see beauty in women of all shapes and sizes and the call to reject the false standards of entertainment and advertising continues to grow. From marketing campaigns using larger-sized models to local groups teaching young girls to be confident without wearing makeup, the message is clear: You are beautiful and you are powerful . . . simply by being you.
happy endings
In the 1880s, Daeida Wilcox and her husband bought 160 acres of land with the aim of creating a town. But this wouldn't be any old town. Daeida's dream was that "Hollywood" would be nothing less than a Christian utopia—free of alcohol and guns, a place of peace.

MLS vs Exclusive Listing: What's the difference?Recently I was asked an interesting question about the difference between an MLS vs Exclusive listing. Below, I will try and differentiate between the two for you. The MLS — also a multiple listing system or multiple listings service — is a platform where properties for sale and rent can be listed and viewed by all participating brokers. Here, the commission is split between the listing brokerage and the brokerage whose client eventually purchases the property. This is a particularly useful and most widely used tool for realtors who deal with residential properties, and for those who do not have ... Read More »

Leicestershire County Cricket Club and Leicestershire and Rutland Cricket Board are to merge under the name of Leicestershire and Rutland Cricket from October 1.
The merge has been agreed by both organisations, whose constitutions remain the same, and the England and Wales Cricket Board.
The move allows them to work together to develop both the professional and recreational games across the counties.
In order to do so the boards will join together, with two people from each making up the new system, while a chief executive will oversee both organisations. The same approach applies to the financial manager and community development officer.
Meanwhile, Mike Siddall has announced he is standing down as Leicestershire chief executive at the end of the season after four years in the role.
He said: "I am proud of what has been achieved during the last four years on an extremely tight budget.
"The on-field highlight was the FLT20 triumph in August 2011 but the loss of seven players from that team was a real setback from which we haven't yet recovered.
"The re-laying of the outfield in 2011 has also had a massive effect on the quality of the playing surface.
"The full release of the city council covenant on Grace Road has probably been the biggest achievement off the field together with the granting of planning permission for 14 apartments on the Milligan Road side of the ground.
"However, having to endure the wettest summer for 100 years in 2012 did nothing to help the club's financial recovery.
"I'd like to thank those members who have continued to support the club through difficult times on the field and the staff of the club for their commitment to continual improvement.
"With the amalgamation of the county club and the county board, it is an appropriate time to pass on the running of the club to someone who can hopefully take this wonderful club to the next stage of its development whilst preserving the nature of the quintessential English county cricket ground that is Grace Road.
"I wish the chairman Paul Haywood and the Board every success in their future plans."
Haywood added: "The board of directors and I would like to thank Mike for bringing stability to the club through difficult times and for building a platform from which the Leicestershire County Cricket Club and the Leicestershire and Rutland Cricket Board can look forward to bringing success to the new organisation Leicestershire and Rutland Cricket.
"On a personal note I would like to thank Mike for his help to me as chairman."

Nuclear – Warning Sirens and Warning Systems
American Signal Corporation has decades-long relationships with the corporations that create energy with nuclear power. We have designed, installed, and manage the preventative for ANSs at dozens of nuclear facilities in the United States.
Formerly known as ACA, American Signal still services ACA sirens for some facilities but has upgraded a number of facilities to American Signal sirens and systems.
Our consultants provide valuable contributions to the creation of REP-10 documents. Based on our long experience with FEMA and other nuclear facilities, we will work with you to develop a clear, concise, properly formatted, and well-documented REP-10. We begin the process with an in-depth site visit and consultations with the county and plant's emergency operations managers and their teams.
From there, we design a robust, failure-resistant system capable of standing up to the most stringent design review and FMEA. We have technologies exceeding those required for the safety of the population around a nuclear facility. The creative, flexible, and technically-sound integration of our available technologies creates an appropriate, effective, and bullet-proof solution for each facility with whom we are entrusted.
Within the nuclear power industry, security is paramount. For this reason, we will not post our client list or provide descriptions of their systems. We will however, provide extensive references and project information to members of the nuclear emergency management community.
If you are seeking to install a new system, integrate new features to an existing system, upgrade the sirens or software of an aging system, or incorporate a manufacturer-level preventative maintenance program, American Signal Corporation has the expertise to design and implement the solution and document everything for your REP-10.

Pullman Police Commander Chris Tennant said Marvin Mead left two dogs and a cat in his pickup for nearly ten hours. The cat had to be put down at WSU's Veterinary Teaching Hospital due to complications from heat and dehydration.
Tennant said this isn't the first time Mead has been caught leaving his animals unattended in his truck.
"He's been contacted about leaving his dogs in the cab of the truck on numerous occasions leading up to this event," said Commander Tennant. "And then with the death of the cat we felt that it was necessary to go ahead and make an arrest."
Both dogs are okay and were handed over to Mead's relatives. An autopsy on the cat will be performed as part of the investigation.

The Ford Transit Connect will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Chevrolet Express 2500.
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Clearly, the Ford Transit Connect is a better financial choice over the Chevrolet Express 2500, when considering MSRP. Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. Both the Ford Transit Connect and the Chevrolet Express 2500 have similar Destination Charges.
Since the Ford Transit Connect is much slimmer than the Chevrolet Express 2500, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Ford Transit Connect, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Chevrolet Express 2500.
The Ford Transit Connect has much lower torque than the Chevrolet Express 2500, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.
The Ford Transit Connect has a significantly smaller turning radius than the Chevrolet Express 2500, allowing you to much more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.
In terms of towing capacity, the Chevrolet Express 2500 is clearly the choice over the Ford Transit Connect for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Ford Transit Connect has a lot less horsepower than the Chevrolet Express 2500.
Soccer Moms beware - the Ford Transit Connect seats a lot fewer people than the Chevrolet Express 2500. The Ford Transit Connect has significantly less cargo capacity than the Chevrolet Express 2500.
The Ford Transit Connect comes with essentially the same basic warranty as the Chevrolet Express 2500.

Sykas family will be missedNovember 20,2012
Sykas family will be missed
I was sorry to see that the Times Argus could only find a small spot to write about the sale of Yankee Spirits and Wines by Paul, Pat, and Amy Sykas to the Cameron family of Montpelier. The building that housed the liquor store and the one that NECI owns had been in the Sykas family for years.
Pat, Paul and their son, Steve have been a large part of Montpelier history for many years. Paul, his brothers and grandparents owned several businesses in the city for several years and touched many lives. They deserve more than a few sentences in your paper. They will be missed and my good wishes go to Scott Cameron and his son, Brent.

I didn't know you actually frequented quality
boards... just the CD group! As you are fully aware, this
is by far the best board I have encountered, mostly
because I rarely post on it! :)
Several things occur as possible ways to
recognize the unique CEO we have here.
1. An award,
with a suitable ceremony, for the best annual report
by an American company each year. I think there may
be one of these already, but if not, we could get
one going. WEB writes by far the best reports I
2. Pick a new name for the sum of money WEB pays
himself, 100K/year, and call it either a WEB or a Buffett.
Then a CEO who gets his board to pay him a million,
say, would be said to earn 10 Buffetts. Sheer shame as
he compares himself to WEB ought to get him to
temper his demands.
3. I would say someone ought
to write a book, but since several good ones are
already out there, I have been anticipated.
I am sorry to say that I have ill spent many
hours on the CD board. It has been a very sad place to
be. Nothing however points out the value of the
personal integrity and honesty of Warren Buffett better
than the poor service provided to the shareholders of
CD by their management. For those who do not fully
appreciate what we have here in Munger and Buffett, they
should spend some time watching Henry Silverman and
Walter Forbes.

In which market anarchists are sent out to catch the wild 22
Here's Juan Cole, Informed Comment 2011-08-12: Paul, Santorum and the Sixth War (on Iran):[1]
A significant stream within [Right-wing] libertarianism theorizes war as the ultimate in this racket, whereby some companies use government to throw enormous sums to themselves by waging wars abroad and invoking patriotic themes. This analysis is remarkably similar to that of Left anarchists such as Noam Chomsky.
The difference is that for anarcho-syndicalists like Chomsky, the good guys of history are the workers and ordinary folk, whereas for Libertarians, it is entrepreneurs. Both theories depend on a naive reading of social interest. Right anarchists seem not to be able to perceive that without government, corporations would reduce us all to living in company towns on bad wages and would constantly be purveying to us bad banking, tainted food, dangerous drugs, etc. I mean, they behave that way when they can get away with it even when there is supposed government oversight, usually by capturing the government oversight agency that should be regulating them and then defanging it (e.g. BP and the Minerals Management Service). On the environment, private companies would never ever curb emissions without government intervention because of the problem of the commons. (Tellingly, Ron Paul calls global climate change a "hoax.")
And, what makes the Libertarians think that if there were no governments or only weak governments, the corporations would not just wage the wars themselves? The East India Companies of Britain and the Netherlands behaved that way. India was not conquered by the British government, but by the East India Company. Likewise what is now Indonesia was a project of the Dutch East India Company. Libertarians have difficulty imagining warmongering corporations who pursue war all on their own without any government involvement.
And below, in comments on the post:
The theory that big corporations exist only because of government, and that monopoly capitalism is a result of government, is wrong. In fact, it is so obviously wrong and ahistorical (the biggest corporations and the strongest monopolies have occurred in the most laissez-faire societies) that it bewilders me how intelligent people ever came to believe it.
Well, you know, when left-libertarians get into arguments with progressives about this sort of thing, and we point out that, historically speaking, American-style capitalism did not really arise in anything resembling a free market — that there never has been anything resembling a free market — and when we point to the actual history of regulatory capture, legal monopoly, state subsidy, government dependence, etc. that historically lies behind commercial empires like the East India Companies (government-chartered and government-protected monopolies), British Petroleum (until recently a wholly owned subsidiary of the United Kingdom), Standard Oil and its descendents, Ma Bell and its descendents, General Electric, J.P Morgan-Chase, Bank of America, General Motors, etc. etc. etc. — and which created and sustained the family fortuens of the Rockefellers, Carnegies, Vanderbilts, Morgans, Goulds, ibn-Sauds, et al. — the response to this discussion of the historical sources of actually-existing capitalism is always met by a purely hypothetical alternative history, in which, it is alleged, such titanic concentrations of wealth, even though they actually arose in a system of privilege that had nothing to do with free markets, would still have arisen and maintained themselves just as well under purely hypothetical conditions of laissez-faire, even without all the concentrating, insulating, and subsidizing efforts that the manorial and corporate states have so energetically made on their behalf. If this claim is argued for at all, it is not argued for historically, since, of course, there are no historical examples of it ever having happened. It is instead argued for apriori, based on
well, why wouldn't they sorts of appeals to the nastiness of businessmen[2], and the occasional reference to ahistorical hypotheticals or game-theoretic models, like Garret Hardin's
Tragedy of the Commons[3] Then left-libertarians are accused of being
But if we respond to this hypothetical speculation by adding on, alongside the history we have already discussed, some more general, apriori economic reasons to believe that stable monopolies and cartels cannot maintain themselves without government privilege, that freed markets would tend to dissipate concentrated fortunes, and that they would systematically contain and undermine, rather than entrenching, monopolies and cartels, then we are accused of utopian theorizing, and told that our view of markets is
Apparently we can't win. Maybe that's the point; but I think a rhetorical victory that actually engaged with the historical arguments being offered, or with the apriori arguments being offered, rather than simply waving them off as either nonexistent or obviously beneath the notice of intelligent people, might be a more satisfying achievement.

Listed vehicle acquires Polygon
Alternatives investment manager Polygon Management announced this morning that it has been acquired by a listed asset manager that it set up in 2005.
Tetragon Financial Group, which is listed on the NYSE Euronext exchange in Amsterdam, said this morning that it had acquired Polygon's asset management businesses and infrastructure platform.
Polygon's asset management business is made up of three strands. It runs $450m across three hedge funds: European event-driven, convertibles and mining strategies.
It owns a 13% stake in GreenOak, a $1.9bn real estate manager in which Tetragon owns a 10% stake. Polygon also owns a 25% stake in LCM, a $4.5bn collateralised loan obligation manager.
The plan, following the acquisition, is to simplify the legal structure of the two firms, according to a person familiar with the situation. The source added that the firms have similar strategies of building a multi-strategy asset management platform.
Tetragon hopes to grow in the mould of alternatives specialists Apollo Global Management and the Blackstone Group and ultimately may look to list in the US, the person said.
Polygon set up Tetragon in 2005 to make credit investments, originally under the name Polygon Credit Managment. Tetragon was floated on Euronext Amsterdam in May 2007. Tetragon's shares were trading at 8.51p, up 2.28%, at 10.14 GMT.
This morning's statement said that as part of the deal, Tetragon had also acquired Polygon's interests in LCM Asset Management and GreenOak Real Estate. The entire transaction was done for 11,695,940 Tetragon non-voting shares, the majority of which will vest over between three and five years, the statement said.
Polygon co-founders Reade Griffith and Paddy Dear are both already principals of Tetragon. In January last year another Polygon co-founder, Alexander Jackson, left Tetragon's board after a disagreement over the company's investment in GreenOak.
Griffith said in a statement: "This is a continuation of TFG's strategy to expand its asset management platform and diversify and strengthen its income streams."
Polygon began life managing a multi-strategy hedge fund, the Polygon Opportunities Fund, and grew to manage $7.5bn. However, after losing almost half its value in 2008, the fund was forced to close, with many investors finding themselves unable to exit the fund.
There is still about $600m in the "recovery" vehicle, which will be returned to investors when the assets are sold, according to a person familiar with the situation. This morning's statement said that Polygon has about $25m of contracted management fee income due over the next three years associated with the recovery fund, which is included in the transaction.
Following its 2008 problems, Polygon reinvented itself from a multi-strategy fund to a multi-fund boutique.

AN 8-DAY-OLD male infant weighing 2892 g was referred to the hospital for evaluation of a chest wall mass. He had been delivered vaginally by vacuum extraction. The course of the pregnancy was unremarkable and the patient's mother received routine prenatal care.
On physical examination, the patient appeared well developed and was in no apparent distress. Vital signs were stable. A firm, immobile, nontender chest mass was located slightly to the left of the sternum. The mass measured 1.5 cm in diameter and projected 0.5 cm from the contour of the chest. Findings from the remainder of the examination were unremarkable.
Multiplanar imaging of the chest wall indicated a well-defined heterogeneous mass that appeared to grow from the intercostal muscles, invaded the intercostal muscles posteriorly, and displaced the pleura. The mass measured 1 × 2.5 × 2.5 cm in the anteroposterior, transverse, and cephalocaudal dimensions (Figure 1 and Figure 2). It did not involve the pericardium, but bony invasion of the ribs and sternum could not be completely excluded.
The next day, an incisional biopsy was performed. Histological study of the mass showed a predominant population of large polygonal cells and a smaller number of admixed multinucleate giant cells (Figure 3). Both the mononuclear and multinuclear cells had a moderate to large amount of lightly eosinophilic cytoplasm. The nuclei in the mononuclear and multinucleate cells were slightly enlarged and irregular, but significant hyperchromasia was not present and nucleoli were inconspicuous. The mitotic rate was low at fewer than 2 mitoses per 10 high-power fields. The lesion infiltrated skeletal muscle. Stains for fungi and mycobacteria were negative. The mononuclear and multinucleate cells were strongly positive on a vimentin stain. Actin, desmin, S100, factor VIII, and cytokeratin stains all were negative.

Electronic Thermometer using LM35 and LM3914
This electronic project uses temperature sensor LM35 and LM3914 IC to display the results on led bar displays. The sensor outputs 10mV/°C so we must convert this voltage to a visual signal. The LM3914 (Dot/Bar Display Driver) is a IC that senses analog voltage levels and drives 10 LEDs, providing a linear analog display depended on input voltage. This IC can be "chained" to form a display of 30 leds as done in this circuit. With proper adjustment of each IC's range we can make first display to show 10°C to 19°C, second display to show 20°C to 29°C and so on. Check schematic here.
