Hello everybody,
the other day, I defined a complex path model in OpenMx with a lot of mxPath objects. By accident, I included a duplicate mxPath object, that is, two mxPath objects with same "to" and "from" properties. While making changes to my model, I changed only the first definition not being aware of the later redefinition and it took me a while until I realized that my first definition was overwritten by the second. I think, OpenMx's behavior makes sense and I'd expect redefinitions of paths to overwrite past definitions. It might still be helpful to users if OpenMx checked for duplicate path definitions and gave out a warning. What do you think?
best regards,

HOUSE . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . No. 4331
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts
July 17, 2014
To the Honorable Senate and House of Representatives,
Pursuant to the provisions of Article II, Section 8, Paragraph 1, Clause (2) of the Amendments to the Constitution as amended by the Article LXXXIX, I am filing for your consideration the attached legislation entitled "An Act Validating the Results of Certain Election Held in the Town of Lancaster"
Representative Naughton and members of the Town of Lancaster Historical Commission have requested that I file this legislation on behalf of the Town. The purpose of this legislation it to ratify the results of the Town's May 13, 2013 Annual Town Election to the same extent as if the warrant included the text of the ballot questions in the text of the warrants posted for the election as required by G.L. c. 39 § 10. This legislation is necessary because the Town Board of Selectmen duly approved and signed the warrant for the May 13, 2013. After such approval, however, the text of the ballot questions were inadvertently left off of the warrant pursuant to the statutory requirements of G.L. c. 39 § 10. Despite this oversight, the question whether to move the Lancaster Historical Commission and other administrative offices of the Town to a newly renovated building passed by a majority vote. The failure to provide the text of the ballot question on the warrant resulted in the election law requirements not being completely met.
The Town and bill sponsors are confident that the Town residents did receive adequate notice of the vote through a variety of channels including posting on the Town website and at the Town Hall leading up to the election.
I urge your early and favorable consideration of this bill.
Respectfully submitted,
Deval L. Patrick,
HOUSE . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . No. 4331
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts
In the Year Two Thousand Fourteen
An Act validating the results of a certain election held in the town of Lancaster.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
SECTION 1. Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, all acts and proceedings taken by the town of Lancaster at the annual town election held on May 13, 2013 and all actions taken pursuant thereto are hereby ratified, validated and confirmed, notwithstanding any failure to include the text of ballot questions in the posted warrants for the election.
SECTION 2. This act shall take effect upon its passage.

Stockholm Dean resigns over Jesus exhibition
The Local · 28 Apr 2006, 10:00
Published: 28 Apr 2006 10:00 GMT+02:00
Hakon Långström says that the display, which opens at Stockholm's Kulturhuset in October, is an insult to Christianity.
The theme of the exhibition is pictures of Jesus which have been bought by Kulturhuset and Stockholm diocese from The Israel Museum in Jerusalem. The Swedish Church has committed itself to a contribution of 300,000 kronor if the diocese adds 100,000 kronor.
Hakon Långström, who has been in his job for three years, reckons that many of the 70 photographs which will be on display are offensive.
"Money which has come from the Swedish Church's members is paying for this. I have to protest against that even if it is with sadness that I leave the job," he told Svenska Dagbladet.
Although some of the pictures have been removed from exhibition - a couple engaging in oral sex on the cross was considered inappropriate - the dean objects to images which include people hanging on the cross with exposed genitalia.
"Look at this one - a naked woman posing with a Mickey Mouse mask. The bishop really likes that one but I simply cannot stand for this," Långström told SvD.
The whole collection of pictures, including those considered too risqué to be put on display, will be included in book to be sold at the exhibition.

Instead, it turns out, a spam SMS message from her cellular provider accidentally set off the device early. The SMS came in just hours before the planned attack, and killer her, but not her two accomplices, who were seen fleeing the scene.
It is common in Russia for Islamist terrorists to trigger bombs with an SMS message. They use cheap unused mobile phones as detonators, with the bomber's "handler," who is generally watching. The "handler" detonates the device by sending a text message which sets off the explosive belt at the moment the "handler" deems is best for maximal damage and injury.
In general the phones are kept turned off until the very last second. In this case, Russian authorities believe that the terrorists were simply lazy or careless.

American physician who , revolutionized kidney dialysis by creating in 1960 the Scribner shunt, a device that allowed patients to receive long-term dialysis. Sewn into arteries and veins, the shunt eliminated the progressive damage caused by repeated insertion of tubes from the dialysis machine directly into blood vessels, the method previously used. Scribner also oversaw the creation of committees to determine which patients would receive dialysis and thereby laid the foundations for bioethics committees.

What's it do?
It's an alarm app that donates $US0.25 to a non-profit organisation (under the LetGive umbrella) every time you hit the snooze button. Think about that, from now on every time you're feeling lazy and can't get out of bed, you're actually helping somebody! The app doesn't force you to donate either, it just makes it a helluva lot easier. Snooze will asks you two times a month if you would like to donate your snooze hits to the non-profit of your choice.
Why do we like it?
My former roommate hit the snooze button at least 10-20 times a day. I couldn't understand it. What a waste of time! Why not set your alarm later? No matter. We all have our philosophical differences on getting up but if you can help a "good" organisation at a rate that won't dent your wallet while still doing what you do, what's not to like? I'm not sure if this is supposed to encourage or discourage snoozing but if you have half a heart, you'd sign up for this (though I do wish you could pick your own charity and the rate at which you would want to donate per snooze).

Will Money Grinch steal foot ferries?
By June 15, 2003, Washington State Ferries wants to shut down passenger-only ferry services from Bremerton and Vashon to downtown Seattle routes that combined carried nearly one million passengers this year.
The proposal, floated Wednesday by WSF Director Mike Thorne at a state Transportation Commission meeting, is an effort to maintain and bolster its fleet, despite a disappointing turn in state transportation funding.
With the repeal of the value-based motor vehicle excise tax in spring 2000 and the recent failure of Referendum 51, ferry officials have been forced to seek a funding solution.
We looked at all available options and, in the end, made some tough, but necessary decisions, Thorne said in a prepared statement.
WSF officials hope funds saved could be used to reinvest in the system including building replacement vessels.
We have four boats that need to be retired, said WSF spokeswoman Pat Patterson.
Patterson said WSF has tried to find a process to live within its means.
Its a cold, hard reality and were going to own the problem and solve it, she said.
Thorne said when crafting the proposal, in part to end POF service, ferry officials tried to leave commuters with options. The overall WSF proposal would not affect about 95 percent of the entire systems riders and commuters.
Thornes proposal also involves discontinuing the 1 a.m. departure from Edmonds to Kingston on Friday and Saturday nights and continuing the schedule modifications and reduced fuel costs on the Seattle-Bainbridge Island ferry route that began this fall.
The proposed route changes and the discontinuation of POF service could save about $6 million annually, officials said.
The WSF plan, which overall could save the ferries nearly $7.7 million, is not a done deal.
It is still subject to legislative review and and public input.
This has been in the air for some time, said Fred Chang, chairman of the Bremerton Ferry Advisory Board. In a sense, its actually nice to finally find out how bad the news really was.
Chang says he wants to keep track of the public input process, and is concerned the proposal appears so extreme.
Its as if we either have them all or none, he said. Why not go back to 1996 levels where we just had one passenger ferry out of Bremerton?

Why Google is working hard to be your next Internet service provider
Google just announced the winner for its Google Fiber project, and it's Kansas City, Kansas. Congratulations, Kansas City! The announcement couldn't arrive at a more crucial time. Following AT&T's announcement that it's buying T-Mobile and ongoing bad news like Comcast and Time Warner Cable trying to get rid of competition by using/buying the U.S. government. For the people of Kansas City, Google is like a knight in shining armor coming to free them from the evil and monopolistic Telcos.
Google will start working on the infrastructure later this year and plans to offer service at the beginning of next year. The service consists of mind-blowing data speed (1 Gbit/s to be precise) offered at a competitive price. "Competitive price" means dirt cheap in Google language. This is Google after all, almost everything they offer is free. Plus, I don't think they're doing this for the profits. So, it's official, Google will be an Internet Service Provider next year, at least for the people of Kansas City that is. After years of rumors and denial, Google will finally become an ISP. The questions is: How big of an ISP do they want to be?
Before getting into how big will Google Fiber become, we first have to take a look at why Google is doing this. First, they're not doing this because they believe becoming a service provider is their next 1 billion dollars business strategy – although it wouldn't hurt if it were. But that's not the main reason why they're doing this. Secondly, they're not doing this as an act of charity. They might be one of the most lovable and consumer-friendly companies around, but they're not that awesome. Instead, they're doing this because a faster and bigger Internet benefits Google. More people using the Internet equals higher profits for Google from its massive ad business. And a faster Internet means more people visiting more websites, meaning they use Google more. Put simply, Fast Internet + Big Internet = Happier and richer Google.
This is easy to understand if you look at other products out of Mountain View. Chrome, Android, Chrome OS, and Google TV all make it easier and faster for people to access the web. HTML5, Native Client, and WebGL; Google heavily supports all these projects because they make a faster and better Internet. Basically, most Google products benefit the Internet or make people use it more. Which in turn helps their bottom line. Google is just like any other web company, they're not the Gandhi of corporations. The only difference is that they get richer by giving us a faster and better Internet – everybody wins.
Then there's the "choke point". Google doesn't like choke points. By choke points I mean places where another company controls how the user accesses Google's products. Internet Explorer and Windows are choke points. Microsoft controls them and uses them to compete against Google by making Bing the default search engine. Thus we have Chrome and Chrome OS. The iPhone is a choke point. Although Apple doesn't have a competing search engine today, it could very well have one tomorrow. What if Microsoft pays Apple to make Bing the default on the iPhone? Google can't let that happen. Thus we have Android and Google TV to some extent. You get the point. The less barriers between Google and the user, the better. Which brings us to the last choke point, Internet access.
There's no doubt that the Internet access situation here in the U.S. is going from bad to worse. On the wireless side, you have AT&T set on going back to the "good ol' days" and becoming the only carrier in the country by buying or destroying everybody else. On the wired side, you have the likes of Comcast, Time Warner and AT&T (again) working ferociously on finding new ways to screw the consumer with high prices, low speeds and horrible service. Google is watching all this, and they don't like the fact that a couple of companies could soon stand between them and their users. What if AT&T or Comcast gets so big that they can tell Google "Hey, I need a percentage of what you're making from ads or I block the whole country from accessing Google.com". (Update: A reader's comment helped come up with a more realistic scenario, Microsoft pays AT&T to make Bing faster than Google.) Google would have no choice but comply or it would risk losing the whole U.S. market to competitors like Bing.
Google is not going to sit back and watch some company become the sole gatekeeper of the Internet. That's where Google Fiber comes in. Google Fiber is to Telcos what Google Chrome is to Internet Explorer. A nuclear bomb aimed directly at the last choke point between Google and the consumer. How much will Google push its broadband service?. Well, this is what they said on their blog today:
We'll also be looking closely at ways to bring ultra high-speed Internet to other cities across the country.
Yep, that sounds like a nationwide rollout in the making to me. If I was somebody at Comcast or AT&T I'd be looking very closely at what happens to my market share in Kansas City next year. I wouldn't be surprised if Google Fiber takes over a good chunk of the market very fast. Once the American consumer gets used to 1 Gbit/s cheap Internet access it's hard to go back. Of course, we have yet to know the details of Google Fiber, like how they'll offer customer support, pricing, etc. But whatever they offer, I bet it'll be better than what we have now. In conclusion, in the not-so-distant future we'll be using our Android phones, and our Chrome OS laptops connected to Google Net with a 1 Gbit/s connection. No choke points whatsoever, just like Google likes it. I'd love to hear what you guys think about Google Fiber, so head to the comments section and fire off.

The Detroit Free Press's Jamie Samuelssen attempts to answer the question, and I quote, "Which newcomer will have the greatest impact this upcoming season? Devin Gardner, William Gholston, Mike Modano, Tracy McGrady or Kyle Vanden Bosch?" today, and he states the obvious about Modano and the comparative lack of pressure he faces as the Wings' third-line center:
August 27, Detroit Free Press: Let's start with the old guys. There is no real issue with the Red Wings bringing in Modano nor the Pistons bringing in McGrady. Modano fits a specific need on an otherwise deep, talented team. And he's a bargain, by NHL standards. McGrady is a total flier taken by a team that desperately needs a longshot to come through. There is little risk for either. But really, neither brings the chance for great reward. Modano is a role player. McGrady is a shadow of his former self after years of injury.
Modano's still got the potential to post 10-15 goals and 35-45 points, and at the NHL level, that's quite a bit of reward for $1.25 million...
And the Dallas News's Mike Heika happened to posit the Dallas Stars' "Mount Puckmore" for Yahoo Sports, and he suggests that Modano is, without a doubt, THE face of the Stars' franchise.
We're just borrowing him for a year, or hopefully two.

Making the right hires at the executive level may be the single most critical step you'll take to affect your company's success. Your company's future rests in the hands of your senior management team. Yet when it comes to hiring new talent, even the most savvy often succumb to the temptation of trying to do it without a professional recruiter.
A good executive recruiter is both a consultant and a partner, and comes to understand your business. One of the major advantages of using a professional for your senior recruiting needs is their ability to tap into an extensive network of contacts that can deliver high-quality candidates. The best candidates often prefer to work through an executive search firm, valuing the high level of confidentiality and the benefits of mediation that a professional recruiter brings. This confidentiality also protects your company during the vulnerable period when an executive position is open.
What kind of recruiter should you use?
There are two basic types of executive recruiters: firms that work on a contingency fee basis and those that work on retainer. Contingency firms are paid if and when they fill a position, while retained firms are paid regardless of the outcome of a particular search. At first glance, the contingency arrangement may seem more attractive, but it's important to understand the difference in the services you'll receive when you choose one type over the other.
A contingency firm acts like a clearinghouse, working quickly and gathering a large number of resumes. It's generally appropriate for entry-level or mid-level management positions with clearly defined requirements. Hires are usually local, and speed often takes precedence over finding the ideal candidate.
A retained firm functions more like a senior adviser to the executive client, handling higher-level searches with selective criteria. These firms are highly skilled at managing challenging searches, and will usually bring you a carefully screened short list of well-qualified candidates. The retained firm is generally the choice of technology companies for top-level general management and Board of Director recruiting, as well as for management consulting and venture capital hires.
How much will using a recruiter cost?
The standard practice in the executive search industry is to charge a percentage of the new executive's first-year compensation. For retained firms, the usual range is 33 percent to 35 percent. For contingency firms, the usual range is 20 percent to 25 percent or higher. The range may be higher for international searches.
There are some exceptions. Some firms are willing to negotiate lower fees in exchange for a guaranteed volume of assignments. For the most senior positions with the highest salaries, an increasingly common approach is to charge a fixed fee for a given assignment. And in the world of startups, recruiters may even accept stock in lieu of some portion of the cash fee. Be sure to get an agreement up front on how expenses will be handled. Most firms bill for expenses incurred while working on an assignment, and the costs can vary widely.
If a search fails — you aren't happy with the candidates presented, or no one is found who will accept the job in question — you are still legally obligated to pay a retained firm its full fee. In this case, a contingency firm is not paid, ergo, the "contingency" moniker.
While contingency firms won't bill you until a search is completed, the billing policies of retained firms are more varied. The standard practice is to bill one-third when the search is initiated, one-third after a month, and the balance at the start of the third month.
Choosing the right recruiter
The key to finding the right executive recruiter is asking the right questions. You'll want to get solid answers to the following questions when you start evaluating firms.
How long has the firm been in business?
Does the firm have any areas of specialization?
What are some recent searches they've completed?
Does the firm conduct international as well as national searches?
Who will lead the search — a senior or junior recruiter?
Does the firm have the bandwidth to adequately handle your assignment?
Ask to review a draft of its standard engagement letter to gain an understanding of how the firm handles searches, and what to expect at each stage of the search.
What kind of recruiting limitations, due to recent placements, will the firm have? Generally, a search firm is limited from recruiting candidates out of a company for whom they have worked during the prior two years.
After you've interviewed a few firms, question your own comfort level. You'll need to feel confident that the person and firm you're hiring are worthy of your trust.

There's Bryant-Denny Stadium and Neyland Stadium and Pat Dye Field. Georgia wants to do something nice for former longtime coach Vince Dooley by naming a loosely defined area that houses various facilities the ``Vince Dooley Athletic Complex.''
Some former players say that's not enough. They say his name should prominently displayed where he won so many football games. Former Georgia quarterback Buck Belue had the best line.
``Why couldn't they have done something at the stadium? We've got burial plots inside the stadium for the dadgum dogs.''
"How long does it take to figure out all the things this man did for the University of Georgia and the impact he made on so many people's lives and the leadership he provided for over 40 years?'' Belue said in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Dooley wasn't always a Georgia man. He played football at Auburn in the 1950s. He was even an assistant coach for Shug Jordan.
Dye was honored by Auburn after his 12 years of service. Tommy Tuberville is approaching that longevity. He's entering his 10th season with the Tigers.
There are ways to drum up support for heroes and to raise money, to be sure. There are fundraising organizations like Tigers Unlimited, Tide Pride and the Georgia Bulldog Club that force fans into donating money so they have the right to order football tickets and... Oops! What we meant to say is: There are fundraising organizations like Tigers Unlimited, Tide Pride and the Georgia Bulldog Club that encourage fan loyalty!
All schools have various ways to rally the troops. Auburn coaches will certainly hit the road to speak to alumni groups. Here's a way Alabama will do it in a three-week Red Elephant Club fundraising blitz with the Crimson Caravan.
In other developments, several backups have left the Tigers:
Inside the Auburn Tigers reported offensive lineman Antwoin Daniels won't play for Auburn again. He is the most prominent of the departures, though he never started and fell behind true freshmen last year. He played in the line for only nine snaps through the first nine games before logging 42 plays against Tennessee Tech. His other appearances were on special teams. Defensive back Lorenzo Ferguson is also gone. He didn't appear in a game. Another defensive back, Blake Shrader will graduate this spring, but won't return to play football. His only appearance was against Tennessee Tech. He was a special teams player. Defensive lineman Bryant Miller, who also didn't appear in game, is also gone.

A day after Seattle's Richard Sherman produced one of the most-talked about post-game interviews in recent memory, FOX sideline report Erin Andrews, who got the interview, called it "awesome."
"I'm the best corner in the game," Sherman screamed into the camera right after Seattle's 23-17 win over San Francisco in the NFC title game. "When you try me with a sorry receiver like Crabtree, that's the result you're going to get. Don't you ever talk about me."
On Monday, Andrews told The Dan Patrick Show it was refreshing not to get the same old standard one-liners from players walking off the field.
"He lost his mind and it was awesome," Andrews said. "He never threatened me. He never cussed at me on the camera. I never was frightened."
Many on Twitter reacted to her facial expression during the exchange. She said she simply was trying to decide to ask a follow-up question or move on to another topic.
The interview was cut short when a producer told her to wrap it up.
"I think, maybe, they were worried about language," she said.
She was asked by Patrick if she thought Sherman would be his same outspoken self leading up the Super Bowl.
"I hope so," she said.
"It was just so much raw candid emotion at once."
Check out the entire interview below.
Did you have a problem with his interview? Tell us why or why not below.

BEND — The city of Bend has signed an agreement to help guide the development of Oregon State University-Cascades as it expands into a four-year institution.
The Bulletin newspaper reports the memorandum of understanding states the city will hold OSU-Cascades to the same land use standards and application process as other developers.
Bend City Manager Eric King and OSU Vice President Becky Johnson signed the deal that covers the first, 10-acre phase of the new college campus in southwest Bend.
They will negotiate a separate agreement to cover planning for the rest of the 56-acre campus.
Left unanswered is whether OSU-Cascades will pay the city for law enforcement and other services.
Property taxes cover most of those expenses. But the university, as a government entity, won't pay property taxes.

MARCH 9, 1963 -- Edwin Walker, an Army general demoted by President Kennedy for espousing extreme right wing beliefs and who demonstrated against James Meredith's admission to the University of Mississippi, was given the key to the city by Birmingham Mayor Art Hanes as he addressed a crowd at Municipal Auditorium.
"The attack on (Mississippi) Gov. Ross Barnett and Mississippi continues" against all Southerners, Walker said.
Joining Walker was Billy James Hargis, an evangelist, anti-communist crusader, who said the civil rights movement was a Communist scheme and Martin Luther King, Jr. was "anything but a saint."
"You people of Birmingham have seen Communist agitators," Hargis said.
- The U.S. Department of Defense issued a draft call for 10,000 men as fighting in Vietnam escalated.

Grilled potato salad is new and sensational
Grilled Potato Salad with White Balsamic Dressing
(NC)—Tired of taking the same old thing to back yard barbecues and other events? This Mediterranean-influenced version of potato salad is light and nutritious. The grilled golden potatoes absorb the sweet flavour of white balsamic vinegar for a fresh taste.
6 Yukon gold potatoes (about 2-1/4 lbs/1.25 kg), scrubbed
2 red peppers, quartered
2 tbsp (25 mL) extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp (25 mL) chopped fresh basil
1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper
White Balsamic Dressing:
1/4 cup (50 mL) extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp (25 mL) white balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp (25 mL) finely chopped sundried tomatoes in oil, drained
1 clove garlic, minced
1/3 cup (75 mL) halved pitted Kalamata olives
2 tbsp (25 mL) chopped fresh basil
1 tbsp (15 mL) capers
Cut potatoes into 8 wedges each and place in large bowl with red peppers. Add oil, basil, rosemary, salt and pepper and toss to coat well.
Place potato wedges and pepper on greased grill over medium high heat and grill about 20 minutes, turning once or until golden and tender. Remove from grill and thinly slice red peppers; return to bowl with potato wedges.
Whisk together oil, vinegar, tomatoes and garlic. Pour over grilled potatoes and peppers. Add olives, basil and capers and toss gently to combine.
Serve warm or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Bring to room temperature and toss well before serving.
Makes 6 to 8 servings.
Tip: You can substitute 1 jar (340 mL) roasted red peppers, drained and sliced for the 2 red peppers.

The time has finally come.
Football officially begins this Friday night for the University of Tennessee, which means that no longer are we forced to talk about "what ifs" and the potential good or bad for the upcoming season.
The offseason brought about many ups and downs for the Vols. According to head coach Derek Dooley, this is the best team in Knoxville during his three years at the helm. However, the recent news of Da'Rick Rogers leaving the program has put a small damper on some spirits.
Come Friday night, it will be time to put up or shut up for Dooley and the Vols, and the opening game with North Carolina State will set the tone for the 2012 season.
Here's a look at the final depth chart for game one.

A Toledo woman was placed on community control for four years and sentenced to six months at the Correctional Treatment Facility in Toledo on Friday for robbing a local convenience store.
Rachel Chandler, 38, of 230 13th St. pleaded guilty to robbery before Lucas County Common Pleas Judge Gene Zmuda for an Oct. 17 hold-up at the Stop & Go, 3131 W. Sylvania Ave. She admitted she went into the store, demanded money, then jumped on the counter and stole the cash from the cash register because she wanted money to buy drugs.
Judge Zmuda ordered her to perform 100 hours of community service, submit to random drug and alcohol screenings, and to pay $2,864 in restitution to Stop & Go.

Could what you have be like a visual migraine? Like, a rainbow aura that covers your entire field of vision, but with no headache or pain?
Visual Migraine Animation - YouTube
I get them occasionally. Mine have always been related to being exposed to quickly flashing lights, like driving past a large row of trees, where the sunlight is dappled through the leaves, and you're quickly driving past shade sun shade sun shade sun. Like that.
One data point you might find interesting: I get the visual migraines only when I'm in ketosis. I have never had one at any other time. If I increase carbs, no auras.

KiDiMu installs pirate treehouse
Skeleton crew working hard to make June 5 grand opening.
Arrr matey, landlubbers who drove down Winslow Way Tuesday morning might have stumbled on quite a sight: An elaborate pirate treehouse, the centerpiece display in KiDiMu's new location, being unloaded off a flatbed truck.
It took some big kid toys to get the three-ton display off the truck and into KiDiMu's new location at The Island Gateway, corner of State Route 305 and Winslow Way.
Mike Hill, from Hill Moving Services, had to fetch extra-long forklift extensions to get the treehouse off the truck.
The base, made from a hollowed-out tree, was lifted from above using a heavy-duty chain. Together, the tree and house will tower one-and-a-half stories just inside the doors of KiDiMu's new home. A tightly curving slide will spill kids into the adjacent exhibit, "OurTown."
The building was custom-designed so the front glass panel could be opened to allow for the treehouse's arrival.
That was just to get it inside. Once there, a team tackled the precarious job of assembling the components with limited wall clearance.
The structure will eventually be bolted to the museum floor.
"I'm really pleased with the tree trunk," said KiDiMu Executive Director Susan Sivitz. "It's a real tree, but not harvested. They use only fallen trees, but the texture is wonderful."
The arrival of the treehouse culminates more than two years' worth of planning.
"They've been talking about this since before I came," Sivitz said. "Now we're just really eager for the community to experience the new KiDiMu."
The whimsical treehouse, complete with pirate flag, crow's nest and a fairly gruesome-looking skeleton, brought out the kid in The Island Gateway superintendent Alex Olson.
"Arr," he growled while driving the forklift. "I'll bet we're having more fun than you arrr."
Two fund-raising events
Saturday is the last day for kids to create original artwork on tiles ($50) that will become part of the museum. Tiles can be painted or imprinted with a child's handprint as a fund raiser for the museum.
An adult fund raiser is set for 6 p.m. Thursday for the first 100 people to RSVP to 855-4650. Get a sneak peek at the museum, enjoy hors d'oeuvres and wine, and be part of supporting the museum. Admission is free; donations will be taken.

Lately, I've been having a love affair with black and white stripes. Specifically, how they can make practically anything—bouquets, invitations, centerpieces, cakes, gowns, bowties—look instantly cooler. They add a graphic-chic touch that positively pops against bright colors. Are any of you guys incorporating stripes into your wedding decor? —Lauren Matthews, editor

October was a ridiculously good month if you were bullish on equities. For the month, the S&P 500 rose nearly 11%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEX: ^DJI ) tacked on an impressive 9.5%. What's really odd about October's gains is they came during what it normally one of the worst performance months on record for the indexes.
But as can be expected with a month of near-record gains, we've seen a resurgence in insiders willing to part with their shares. In fact, October marked the first time we've seen insider selling outpacing purchases by more than a 20-to-1 margin since July. Here's a closer look at the staggering amount of insider selling shareholders have been subjected to over the past 10 months:
Source: Thomson Reuters.
Keep in mind that insiders can have a wide array of reasons for parting with their shares. Sometimes, it can be something as benign as tax-loss selling, or perhaps to simply generate revenue for everyday expenses in their lives. Other times however -- and this is the real concern -- insider selling represents a bet from management that a stocks better days could indeed be behind it.
While I can't say for certain whether or not what we witnessed in October was another bet from insiders that this market is getting frothy, I can say that some notable names were on the insider selling list. Here are the six companies that had the most insider selling for the week that ended Nov. 4, according to the Wall Street Journal:
Insider Shares Sold
Market Value
|Oracle (Nasdaq: ORCL )
|AutoZone (NYSE: AZO )
|CapitalSource (NYSE: CSE )
|Danaher (NYSE: DHR )
|Intel (NYSE: INTC )
|Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ )
Source: The Wall Street Journal, market value data as of Nov. 4.
As I said before, the selling we've seen in these companies could be completely normal. Then again, for a company like CapitalSource, it's confusing to see the company aggressively purchasing shares while insiders are busy dumping them.
Unfortunately, we may never know whether insiders sold because they thought shares would fall soon. But my gut instinct tells me that after such a large run-up last month, corporate executives are more than willing to hand you over their shares at higher prices. The question is: Does Main Street want Wall Street's shares? I predict we'll have an answer to this question in a few months.
In the meantime, let's have your input on the matter. Does the large increase in insider selling in October curb or change your investing habits, or will you just captain your ship as normal? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.

SAGINAW, MI — Dilapidated roads and a shortage of funding to fix them are prompting three townships in Saginaw County to seek millage renewals or increases in the August primary election.
The requests will appear on Aug. 5 primary election ballots in Albee, Marion and Richland townships.
Richland Township
After voters turned down a request for a maintenance millage a few years ago, Richland Township Supervisor Brian Frederick said conditions have continued to deteriorate.
"The roads are in very poor condition, costs of road repairs have increased and townships don't have enough money in their general funds," Frederick said.
Richland Township is asking voters to approve a new 2-mill road and bridge repair millage. The millage would raise nearly $2.8 million during its 10-year lifespan
- See the exact language here
While his community draws $70,000-$90,000 from its general fund for road repairs annually, Frederick said it isn't enough to deal with the quantity of work needed. The construction of one mile of asphalt roadway alone would cost the township $400,000, according to Frederick.
Even if the millage is passed, Frederick said the township isn't going to be able to fix all the problems in the first year. But without changes, Frederick said drivers will continue to face crumbling infrastructure along the nearly 100 miles of roadway in Richland Township.
The 2-mill levy would cost the owner of a home valued at $100,000, with a taxable value of $50,000, about $100 per year.
Albee Township
Fifteen miles south of Saginaw, Albee Township voters are being asked to consider a 1-mill road maintenance millage.
Township Trustee Gary Briggs noted similar concerns with other township officials in dealing with road repairs sooner rather than later.
"The longer we put it off, the more expensive it'll get," Briggs said.
The proposal would generate an estimated $57,228 in the first year alone and would run from 2014 through 2023.
- See the exact language here
A 1-mill tax would cost the owner of a $100,000 home, with a taxable value of $50,000, about $50 a year.
Marion Township
Marion Township voters are being asked to renew a 3-mill tax for 10 years, from 2015 until 2024, according to township Supervisor Ray Sholtz. The millage would generate $55,615 in its first year if current economic projections hold.
- Read the exact language here
Sholtz said the millage helps preserve the integrity of the township-maintained roads in the rural community.
"The millage lets us keep our roads up instead of allowing them to get worse," Sholtz said. Even with voters concerned with taxes, Sholtz said Marion residents have been willing to fund such public projects.
"I feel lucky to live in this community," Sholtz said.
Marion Township currently maintains a fire department, a public park and graveyard, according to Sholtz.
Without a renewed millage, Sholtz said money that goes toward those projects would have to be diverted toward road repairs.
The 3-mill tax costs the owner of a $100,000 home, with a taxable value of $50,000, about $150 a year.
In an effort to alleviate some of the stress put on municipalities, state lawmakers allotted $271 million from the state's general fund for road repairs. However, lawmakers were unable to come to a long-term agreement before summer break, with a proposed gas tax bill dying on the Senate floor.

Use our convenient millage calculator below to help determine what each of the 16 tax proposals coming to Saginaw County ballots this August mean for homeowners, in dollars and cents.
Just enter your property's assessed value, and select the taxes that apply to you where you live. Hold down the Control key (Command key on a Mac) to make multiple selections.
The calculator makes the assumption that taxable value is one-half the total assessed value of your home.

DETROIT, MI- The "Indy 500" of motorboats is returning to Detroit this weekend and things are looking up, according to officials.
Ticket sales for the three-day APBA Detroit Gold Cup presented by the Detroit Yacht Club are already up 17 to 18 percent compared to the same time last year, according to Detroit River Regatta Association Event Director Mark Weber.
"That is something that is really making us feel good," Weber said during a media event Tuesday in downtown Detroit's Cadillac Square. "I think it says something very positive about the City of Detroit."
Admission to the grandstands for testing, qualifying and air show from noon to 7 p.m. Friday is free. Starting at 8 a.m. Saturday and Sunday, admission ranges from $15 to $250 for private tents and catering. Heat racing and the 103-year-old Gold Cup final will occur Sunday.
Along with Light Hydroplanes and 12 Unlimited Hydroplanes, which can travel over 200 miles per hour on water, this year marks the first time since 2009 that Vintage Hydroplanes will return to the track -- located on the Detroit River by the Roostertail, 100 Marquette Dr., and Belle Isle.
Detroit Mayor Dave Bing said besides the race bringing 75,000 or so people to the city, it continue to be another step in helping bring back the Motor City.
"I think it does something more than just leave money in the city. I think it shows off our city, he said during the media event. "It allows people to see a different side of Detroit."
Unlimited Hydroplane driver J.W. Myers, who has crashed twice since 2005 in Detroit, said it remains his favorite race.
"I just want to win the trophy," he told MLive.com. "That's the Indy 500 of … motorsports trophies for power boat racing."
The most-recent crash for Myers, who has never won the race, occurred in 2012 when he crashed into the Roostertail's concrete seawall (video: crash occurs at about 7:45), suffering broken bones in his left foot during Heat 1B of the APBA Gold Cup. The crash occurred after damages to the boat had occurred during a previous collision.
Check back to MLive.com Thursday morning for more information about the 2012 APBA Gold Cup.

|The winter that I spent in Regina was their third coldest on record.
I was surprised at how easily I survived the winter cold.
That is largely due to the great amount of sunshine. Regina records half of the cloudy days of those counted in my West Coast hometown. The annual rainfall is just 11 inches. Summers are normally warm, dry and pleasant.

Berlin Raceway's new 4-Cylinder division is not the track's most glamorous, exotic or fastest class.
The cars are not professionally painted and are not decorated with fancy sponsorship logos. The cars even have speedometers, something you don't see in a race car.
It is arguably Berlin's most entertaining class, though, and that's coming from Tim DeVos, a two-time Late Model track champion.
"We had a ball with it last year," said DeVos, who went 4-Cylinder racing after wrecking his Late Model car in late July. "You get to do everything you enjoy doing. You get to go sideways and make smoke come off the tires, and they are so easy to drive. It's like beating around the back roads with a bunch of buddies.
"You don't have to concentrate real hard on setting the car up. It's not a chore. A Late Model is a chore to keep it fast."
From seven to 11 races
Berlin introduced 4-Cylinder racing last year, hosting seven races. It was so popular that the track is returning with 11 races this season. It is now an official class, and a champion will be crowned at season's end.
DeVos will go back to Late Model racing now that his stock car has been rebuilt. But the class will have no shortage of drivers. The first
4-Cylinder race drew 13 cars last year, but by the special event in September, the field attracted 38.
It is expected to be Berlin's biggest class, and the price tag helps make it so popular. Officials and drivers report that it costs about $1,000 to build a car, which gives Berlin a true entry level class.
Count DeVos' nephew, Jason DeVos, 22, among the favorites in the new class. Jason DeVos won a feature a year ago and will be running for points.
"We were eventually going to put a Sportsman together, but once these came along, I said let's put the Sportsman aside and go 4-Cylinder racing," Jason DeVos said. "It's cheaper to get into this.
"It's a four-wheel drive, and they are a lot easier to hang onto going around the race track. They aren't very fast, but the fans sure like it because there is a lot of competition."
Any 4-cylinder, front-wheel drive car is eligible to race, with the exception of convertibles, trucks and two-seat coupes. Turbo and super-charged engines also are prohibited, along with rotary engines and mid and rear-engine cars.
"What you need to do is remove the interior. You have to strip everything out of the inside of it," said Bob Marz, who heads Berlin's technical staff. "You have to remove the seats, headliners and door panels. We like you to take out the dash panel.
"You have to take out everything from the inside that's flammable so you have just metal around you."
A number of tracks across Michigan introduced
4-Cylinder racing before Berlin gave it a shot last year. Berlin officials were skeptical whether it would catch on in Marne.
"I've seen other tracks in the Midwest that had some success with it, (and) I hate to say this, but the feeling here was that Berlin Raceway is too sophisticated for this," Berlin director of race operations Mike Strevel said. "This will never fly. But we tried it and experimented with it, and we decided we could make this work.
"It's inexpensive and the arm chair racer in the stands can do it."
West Michigan Whitecaps president Scott Lane said fans took a quick liking to it, too.
"A diehard ticket holder who has been coming to Berlin for 40 years walked in one Saturday night and said, 'What is this 4-cylinder stuff?' " Lane said. "He said, 'Scott, this is Berlin Raceway. These fans aren't going to take to this.'
"After the race, he came up to me at the gate and said this was entertaining."

LA GRANDE, Ore. – Concordia University women's soccer student-athlete, Jackie Hendrickson, has been selected as the Cascade Collegiate Conference's representative for the NAIA Dr. LeRoy Walker Champions of Character Award.
The award is named after Dr. Walker, President emeritus of the United States Olympic Committee who served as president through the 1996 Atlanta Summer Games. Dr. Walker is a graduate of Benedict College (S.C.) and a former president of the NAIA.
"Jackie has certainly distinguished herself as a person deserving of this nomination," Cascade Conference Interim Commissioner Rob Cashell said. "She has excelled athletically, academically and more importantly as an outstanding citizen."

"Jackie has unbelievable character," Concordia women's soccer head coach Grant Landy said. "She holds herself and her teammates to high moral and ethical standards. Last year, she was named our team's Champion of Character Award winner by the NAIA and continues to give her gifts on campus and in the community with various work and community service endeavors.
I am trying to slow down this current semester as this will be the final time I get to spend with Jackie as she closes out her academic year with us. Her impact both on and off the field at Concordia University has been tremendous and will be missed. She is a unique and special young woman who would be a well-deserving candidate of the highly regarded Champions of Character Award."
Around the Portland area, Hendrickson has been a tutor for local public schools, and spent several community service hours as a volunteer at local elementary schools. On campus, she has served as a representative of Concordia many times.

She serves as a marketing specialist for TEDxConcordiaUPortland, and Game Management supervisor for Concordia athletics.
The criteria for the NAIA Dr. LeRoy Walker Champions of Character Award is stated as follows: the nominee must be a representative of an NAIA institution as a student-athlete; the nominee must be at least a junior academic status at the nominating institution at the time of nomination; the nominee must be "outstanding" in academic achievement (3.0 GPA or higher), outstanding in campus and community leadership, outstanding in embracing the five core values of the NAIA Champions of Character initiative (respect, integrity, responsibility, sportsmanship and servant leadership), outstanding in athletic achievement, and outstanding in future ambition.

Okay, we haven't seen a lot of rain in the past three years of drought, so maybe a refresher course is in order - don't water your yard after, and especially during, a rain.
The city of Amarillo reports daily water consumption has exceeded the conservation goal of 68 million gallons on all but four days this month. The high was 84.5 million gallons.
But please, since we've gotten more than .6 inches of rain at the National Weather Service over the past two days and more in other places turn off your sprinklers.
Director of Utilities Emmett Autrey estimates half an inch of rain should make for about four days of not watering grass.
You can even have a system shut down for you when it's raining.
"Rain sensors are easy to install on most irrigation systems and will override your system to keep it from watering on rainy days," Autrey said. "Plus, they are not expensive, especially when looking at the big picture."
Get it? You can save on your water bill as well as saving our water.
The city's Every Drop Counts water conservation team has a hotline you can call to report water wasters. Call 378-6826 or send an email to email@example.com.

Choose from 3 hours or a full day of one-on-one instruction to help improve your ability.

Zeal Ion Video Analysis Add-On
