Shoreland Management Lake Classifications
Minnesota's lakes range from the sterile, rock basin lakes of the Arrowhead region to the naturally fertile, shallow lakes of the southwest prairie region. These different types of lakes require different shoreland development standards. A classification system was developed so that the appropriate development standards could be applied. This classification system has been in effect since the early 1970's when the shoreland management program was originally established. It includes public waters basins (lakes) down to 25 acres in size in unincorporated areas and ten acres in size in incorporated areas that have DNR-approved shoreland ordinances. Lakes are divided into the following classes based on a combination of factors:
- Natural Environment Lakes usually have less than 150 total acres, less than 60 acres per mile of shoreline, and less than three dwellings per mile of shoreline. They may have some winter kill of fish; may have shallow, swampy shoreline; and are less than 15 feet deep.
- Recreational Development Lakes usually have between 60 and 225 acres of water per mile of shoreline, between 3 and 25 dwellings per mile of shoreline, and are more than 15 feet deep.
- General Development Lakes usually have more than 225 acres of water per mile of shoreline and 25 dwellings per mile of shoreline, and are more than 15 feet deep.
Lake Shoreland Classifications List by County (6.5 Mb)
To obtain more lake shoreland classification information, contact the DNR area hydrologist or the local unit of government.

Lawsuits settled over Minn. B&B fire that killed 6
Wrongful death lawsuits have been settled over a New Ulm bed and breakfast fire that killed six people last year.
A Brown County judge approved a request Monday to keep the settlement amounts and allocations confidential.
The fire at the Bohemian Bed and Breakfast killed the inn's owner, Roberta McCrea, her two daughters and three guests on July 2, 2011. Four others escaped the fire.
Four wrongful death claims and one injury claim were filed against McCrea's estate.
The Journal of New Ulm reports Mankato attorney Jerry Maschka said after the court hearing that the case appears to be complete.
Maschka had asked Judge Robert Docherty to keep the settlement amounts confidential.
Investigators determined that burning candles left unattended caused the fire. The fire was ruled accidental.

Main Forums > Someone I Care About Has HIV
My husband tested positive and I have some questions
(1/5) > >>
Hi everyone. I've been lurking here for a couple of weeks since we found out that my husband tested HIV poz a couple of weeks ago. He had his first visit with an infectious disease doctor and Friday we got a call that his T cell count was 18. They don't have the results of the viral load so in the meantime he is on Bactrim DS and Zithromax. My husband doesn't want to come to the forum because he is still having a hard time accepting this and has alot of guilt. We have four children (3 from my first marriage and he has a son from a relationship in 99.) I was tested by the infectious disease doctor, but they don't have my results back. I'm prepared for the worst, hoping that I'm negative though. He believes that he has had this for approximately 10 years....and since I met him in 2001, he has always had chronic thrush, toenail fungal infection, and recently he was fighting pneumonia which after doing some researching on the net I realized that these were all signs and symptoms of HIV/AIDS and told his family doctor to test him. My question is, I realize his Tcell count is extremely low. He can't get rid of his fever and has lost about 30 pounds. I'm very worried that this wasn't caught soon enough and the medications the doctor ends up putting him on may not work. I realize he officially has "AIDS", but what are his chances of fighting this and living a long and healthy life? He has become a father to my children and I don't know what we would do without him. He is 38 years old and if I see another chart stating that he could be gone by the time he's in his 40's I'm going to lose my mind. Thank you to anyone who responds. I guess I am hoping to find someone who also got diagnosed late like he has.....and is doing well with the meds.
Hello,Everyone is going to react differently to the meds, and to the amount of time it takes for the meds to start doing their job. So far, it appears your husband is only on anti-biotics.I had 16 t-cells back in October of 2003, with a viral load of 500,000. I also went through wasting, and lost about 30 pounds of weight during a ten month period. Went from 170 lbs to 140 lbs. I was also dealing with pneumonia at that time.Just prior to starting on meds, I was on Prednisone ( for I believe about a 20 day period.) I was also started on Bactrim and Zithromax. The bactrim was later changed to Dapsone. Some people can have an allergic reaction to the bactrim, in which case that can be changed to another anti-biotic. So , the doctor should be monitoring him, just in case he may be having an allergic reaction to the Bactrim. See below :http://www.drugs.com/bactrim.htmlHe will have to continue on the bactrim, until his t-cell count goes up to the 200 range. I was able to stop the Zithromax first, and then the Bactrim ( Dapsone) later. I was on the dapsone for quite a while, until my t-cells started going into the 200 range.TheHIV medication also started just a few days after that, which for me, consisted of Viramune, Zerit, and epivir. The Zerit was later changed to Ziagen (abacavir).He will have a tough road ahead of him. I remember in that period of time how extremely weak I was. I was also sleeping quite a bit. Trying to accomplish anything physical took a lot of effort, and I wore out very easily.He will need to sit down with his doctor, and discuss the regimen, that he will be placed on. Some can have a difficult time after starting on meds, others, not so bad.As soon as I started on the meds, Things started improving rapidly. I was sleeping the normal 8 hours a day, but it was still a struggle, and it took some time to build up the t-cells and get the viral load to <50.As I said earlier, it's going to be a tough road ahead, everyone responds differently. What I would suggest for you, is to read up on the lessons part of the site, educate yourself, so that you can help to answer his concerns. Just continue being there for him, this is what he needs right now.It is understandable that he is having a difficult time accepting things right now. He's scared, and he going through a lot of emotions right now. And I can understand, that this is not easy for you either. You need to be there for each other.Depending on what additional blood tests the doctor took, can possibly make a determination, as to what HIV meds, that he will be started on. My advice, would be to accompany your husband to the doctors office on each visit (if possible) and to ask the doctor questions. Be right there with him in the room. Two heads are better then one, when the doctor starts explaining details and regimens. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Take notes if possible. Have questions already written down for the doctor, when you and your husband visit with him. Try to keep his food and liquid intake going. He need as much nutrition as he can get right now. A multi-vitamin once a day would be helpful too. I was taking "BOOST" for a while. There are other nutrition drinks available.After I started on meds, the weight started coming back very fast, my energy levels were much better, and I was feeling 100% better, hopefully your husband will experience the same.If you have any other question, don't hesitate to ask. If there are things you don't understand from the lesson portion of the site feel free to ask away.Take care of yourself-------Ray
--- Quote from: lovingwife on March 20, 2007, 12:16:44 AM ---I guess I am hoping to find someone who also got diagnosed late like he has.....and is doing well with the meds. --- End quote ---Hi LW. How are you holding up? First, I pray you test HIV negative. Second, I can share my own low T cell experience and hopefully your family might find it helpful. I had a low T cell count (42) when I started antiretroviral medications in September of 2005. I copied my history below, in green, for you to see. Right here on these forums we have at least a dozen members who've started with low T cell counts but meds have helped tremendously. The meds available today are much better than the old drugs from the 1980's and early 1990's and some new drugs (still in testing) are supposed to be even better. Personally I have an optimistic view that the drugs will get better and better. I also had a 24-pound drop in weight right before I started meds. I have gained all that weight backLowest 42 cd4 (7%) VL=100,000 (Sept 2005, started HAART too)Highest 419 cd4 (18%) VL=67 (March 2006)Current 342 cd4 (20%) VL=<50 (March 2007)Meds are: Lexiva, Epzicom, NorvirMuch love to you and your family. Ask us anything.Alex
Andy Velez:
Dear LW,I'm glad you have found your way to our site. Keeping fingers crossed that you will test negative. As dark as things may seem right now, when the meds kick in I think you are likely to see quite a turnaround. At least that is what I have often seen in the past and in situations far more dire than what you have described. It's essential that your husband's numbers be monitored regularly and that a good working partnership is established with his doctor to keep him healthy. Hopefully you and he are on the way to making that happen now. Right now quite understandably HIV looms huge in your lives. Gradually as things "settle down" and get under control, it will still be important but it is by no means all that your lives will be about. The lessons on this site will likely provide you with some useful information. As time passes your husband may even want to look into our site. But don't pressure him about that. You are of course welcome to ask any questions you may have as well as just in general to talk about anything that's on your mind. As for all of the dire stuff you have been running across -- that's not helpful nor is it to be taken at face value. It's good that you know his status now and can set about dealing with it to regain his health. We're here for you. And please keep us posted on your test result. And again, welcome. Cheers,
Hi Lovingwife,We found out in May last year that hubby tested positive. He had a CD4 of 85 and his VL was over 280,000. Your hubby sounds a lot like mine. He lost a lot of weight, had thrush, and had that fever. They put him on Bactrim first and he developed a rash so they switched him to Dapsone. Hes done good on the Dapsone and is still on it. He ran a fever for a good 2 months. I kept asking the Dr about it and she said the Dapsone should take care of it. When his fever was a little over 103 i took him to the ER. They admitted him and did a lot of tests and come to find out he had meningitis. So keep a close eye on that fever.Hubby is doing great. He is taking Atripla and Dapsone. His CD4s are 252 and his VL is undetectable. He will be on the Dapsone until he has a CD4 count higher than 200 for 3 set of labs in a row. He just had his first so he will be on it for awhile yet. Hubby has gained all the weight he lost plus a few more. If you haven't read the lessons here i encourage you to do so. They really helped me. Make sure he drinks plenty of water and hubby drank Ensure until he started putting his weight back on. I have a notebook that I take to all his DR appointments. I write down questions I want to ask and then take notes on what the Dr says. I also have a notebook that I keep copies of all his labs.I know what you are going through. It takes time but it does get better...I promise. Keeping my fingers crossed that your test is negative. I have tested negative 3 times and now I just have to get tested once a year. Please keep us posted on your results.We are all here for you! You are not alone.HugsTeresa

After a thrilling and reveling Week 6, the SEC comes back in Week 7 with a slate of games that will tell us a lot about several teams, particularly the South Carolina Gamecocks.
The Gamecocks vaulted all the way up to No. 3 in the latest Associated Press poll, their highest ranking in nearly three decades.
Standing in their way is an LSU team that's looking to get back into the national title discussion after losing to Florida 14-6 last weekend.
But the SEC fun this weekend isn't exclusive to Baton Rouge. Mississippi State is looking to move to 6-0 and keep its dream season alive against a desperate Tennessee team in Starkville.
Can the Bulldogs get the job done? My SEC Week 7 picks are in this slideshow.
2012 Record: 47-10 (22-26 ATS)

Spire Tunbridge Wells Hospital in Fordcombe, Kent offers an innovative, pain-free investigation called Capsule Endoscopy.This uses an electronic, pill-sized photographic capsule that takes pictures of the small bowel (a section of the digestive tract) which cannot normally be viewed or examined without surgery.
Dr Laurence Maiden Consultant Gastroenterologists at Spire Tunbridge Wells Hospital says "This diagnostic facility is particularly beneficial to patients who display obscure bleeding that persists or recurs, as well as for detection of Crohn's and Coeliac disease. It is a revolutionary pain-free device which enables us to see far more of the small intestine than ever more. Patients benefit as they no longer need to endure the discomfort of an endoscope, and we are able to offer a swift treatment programme."
What is a capsule endoscopy?
A capsule endoscopy is a procedure used to examine the small bowel. It is a relatively new and non-invasive way of providing your doctor with visual images of your small bowel using an electronic, pill-sized, photographic camera inside a capsule.
The capsule is swallowed and takes pictures of the small bowel. Since the small bowel is fairly difficult to investigate using traditional methods, the use of a capsule camera has helped to improve and simplify diagnostics in this area. For obscure GI bleeding for example, the 'diagnostic yield' of capsule endoscopy is usually considered to be much greater than that of any other current imaging procedure.
Who should have a capsule endoscopy?
A capsule endoscopy is most commonly performed for obscure gastrointestinal bleeding and obscure abdominal pain. It is most commonly carried out after endoscopic examination of the colon or stomach fails to determine the cause of symptoms.
A person who has been diagnosed with anaemia (low red blood cell count) may have a capsule endoscopy to help identify the cause. One common cause of anaemia is bleeding within the gut. This may be from the stomach, large bowel or small bowel. The bleeding may not always be obvious - or visible - and therefore tests such as a capsule endoscopy may very helpful. Once the cause is identified, corrective treatment of anaemia is generally successful.
Pain, diarrhoea or constipation can be symptoms of underlying intestinal problems. Diseases, such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis can cause inflammation (or even ulceration) in your bowel. A capsule endoscopy could be helpful as a diagnostic aid for these conditions, and to rule out more serious diseases - especially if you have visible bleeding from the back passage, which should never be ignored.
What does a capsule endoscopy involve?
Having a capsule endoscopy involves swallowing a pill-shaped camera that is approximately the size of a large vitamin pill (11mm x 26mm). This takes continual images during its passage down the small bowel. The images are recorded and stored in a reader that is worn on a belt around the patient's waist. The capsule has an eight-hour battery life and then usually passes naturally through the body with no need for retrieval.
If you are undergoing this procedure you may be required to take a small amount of bowel preparation on the evening prior to the procedure. You will then attend the Spire Hospital the following morning. You will be connected to the equipment and then instructed to swallow the capsule. This first appointment lasts approximately half an hour, after which you will be discharged and encouraged to go about your daily routine. You can usually drink two hours, and have a light snack four hours, after swallowing the capsule. You will be asked to return the belt and reader either that evening or the following morning.
The images are then downloaded onto a computer and viewed as a video stream by your consultant Gastroenterologist. Results should be available to your referring doctor within three working days.
As with all medical procedures, there can be risks involved. The main risk associated with Capsule Endoscopy is intestinal obstruction where the capsule becomes lodged in a narrowed area of the small bowel and it is therefore not recommended for patients with known or suspected gastrointestinal obstruction. As with any other medical test, it is possible that Capsule Endoscopy will not identify the cause of symptoms and it is also not recommended for pregnant women.

Riverwest Fest rocks to the end of the world
If it was the end of the world as we know it, the bands and spectators at Riverwest Fest appeared to feel fine.

The two-day event's grown to be one of the largest showcases of music in the city; by the time the fest wraps up Saturday, about 66 bands should have played nine different venues. »Read Full Article(1)

Build Your Own AIM Answerbot (7 tags)
The easiest way to solve a thorny problem is to ask a guru... yet when you don't have access to a resident expert just across the office, what can you do? IRC bots solve this problem -- if you have access to IRC. Robert Treat redeployed that idea within his company across AIM with a bit of Perl, a database full of answers, and a couple of hours of time.
In-Room Chat as a Social Tool (6 tags)
This fall, I hosted a two-day brainstorming session for 30 or so people on the subject of social software. In addition to the usual "sit around a big table and talk to each other" format, we set up an in-room chat channel accessible over the WiFi network which created a two-channel experience -- a live conversation in the room, and an overlapping real-time text conversation.

Forty years ago today the United States began celebrating a day to honor Mother Earth.
What a grand idea it was back then to honor this place that sustains our life.
And so the event goes on. Perhaps Earth Day has lost some of the pizzazz that greeted its inaugural celebration, but it's important nonetheless to recognize why it's vital that we protect the place we call home. Given the alternatives - which are slim - we have no choice.
Earth Day came into being during the administration of President Richard Nixon, a man not generally hailed as a major environmentalist. But on President Nixon's watch, the nation created the Environmental Protection Agency - which over the years has become the bogeyman of many Americans who get fed up with the burden of government regulations.
But its creation has helped push to the forefront the need to protect the planet from ourselves.
No one wants to acknowledge their role in damaging our precious world.
And surely the criticism that is directed at many right here in the Panhandle over our stewardship of the planet is misdirected.
As Mike Engler, a noted Amarillo cattleman, writes in an essay on this page, "Those of us in the cattle business are among the most dedicated environmentalists in the world. Our land is our livelihood. We invest a lot of time and money to protect it."
Indeed, we all should be careful to protect the fragile world on which we live. Why not, then, make every day "Earth Day"?
Yes, some of the government's rules and regs are burdensome. But that shouldn't dissuade us from doing our part individually to conserve our resources, such as water, as a hedge against using up what we all know cannot last forever.
Happy Earth Day!
May we always be able to celebrate it.

|Sarcos Online
Sarcos is an American developer of robotics and microelectromechanical systems and related technologies. Based in the University of Utah Research Park in Salt Lake City, Utah, the company specializes in creating robotic devices for military and public safety applications. The company is also developing robots that improve safety and efficiency in the aviation and maritime industries.
Sarcos was founded in 1983 by current head Stephen Jacobsen and operated principally as a bioengineering research institution. By 1992, Jacobsen increased attention to commercial interests such as animated film props, prostheses, and human/computer interfaces. In 2000, Sarcos accepted a grant from DARPA, the research arm of the United States Department of Defense, to develop a design for a powered exoskeleton suitable for military applications. DARPA accepted the Sarcos design in 2006 and the firm began developing prototypes.[1] In November 2007, Raytheon purchased Sarcos for an undisclosed sum, seeking to expand into robotics research and production.[2]
In 2006, Sarcos attracted media attention for developing an exoskeleton that is designed to be worn by a human. Slated for production in 2008 for the United States Army.[3][4]
In late 2007, American defense contractor Raytheon purchased Sarcos.[5] The company became known as Raytheon Sarcos and was operated as a division of Raytheon until 2015 when Raytheon Sarcos President and Mission Center Executive Dr. Fraser Smith and technology entrepreneur Ben Wolff led a consortium that acquired the Sarcos business from Raytheon. Sarcos has developed technologies in partnership with, and for, government agencies such as the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), an agency of the U.S. Department of Defense, NASA, the Department of Homeland Security, Fortune 100 companies such as AT&T, Boeing, Ford, Merck, and Xerox PARC, and universities such as MIT and Carnegie Mellon.
Powered exoskeleton[edit]
In 2000, DARPA requested design proposals for a powered military exoskeleton. Of the 14 designs submitted, DARPA chose the one submitted by Sarcos. The Sarcos design involves a suit powered by a single engine, including a tank holding 24 hours of fuel, that sits near the wearer's buttocks. The suit gives the wearer increased strength and endurance through servo motors powered by the engine.[3] The finished suit is named the XOS Exoskeleton and weighs 150 pounds (68 kg).[5] Popular Science reported that the XOS gives wearers the ability to lift 200 pounds (91 kg) "repeatedly with minimal strain".[6] DARPA specifications call for the suit to allow lifting of up to 400 pounds (180 kg), but it is not known whether the XOS meets that criterion.[1]
The army will use initial production models of the XOS for logistics and supply tasks such as repetitive lifting of heavy objects. Future models will have various combat customizations for firing heavy weapons or transporting wounded soldiers.[7]
A second iteration, the Raytheon Sarcos XOS 2, was released in 2010.[8]
Since its inception in 1983, Sarcos has produced a wide variety of robotic devices for different applications. It builds undersea salvage robots used by the United States Navy and other units for law enforcement organizations. Sarcos also builds robotic props for films and amusement park attractions. For example, Sarcos has built some of the animated pirates seen in the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction appearing at four Disney theme parks,[1] the Wicked Witch of the West audio-animatronic at Disney's Hollywood Studios' The Great Movie Ride, the robotic dinosaurs for Jurassic Park: The Ride at Universal Studios Hollywood, and the robotic fountains for the Bellagio casino in Las Vegas.
Sarcos develops artificial limbs that use sensors to detect the subtle skin or muscle movements and translate them into limb movement.[1]

'The Bachelor' Women Tell All Recap: Courtney Robertson Faces Angry Mob Of Eliminated Contestants
Tonight the ladies of The Bachelor sat down with Chris Harrison to tell all about Ben, the other ladies and their broken hearts. Let the catfights begin! One thing we know off the bat is there will definitely be a Bachelor Pad 3. All of the drama and the steamy hookups of the past contestants will continue. Ali and Frank? Ryan P. and any single girl? Michelle Money- again? We can't wait!
First lady up on the chopping block? Blakely. The clips roll from the show as the ladies watch on calling her a "stripper" and way too competitive. Blakely admits that it wasn't a competition and she was there for Ben solely. Samantha can't hold her comments in and yells at Blakely for not being friends with any of the other girls. Blakely doesn't regret the way she acted but wishes her guards weren't up as much. Cop out.
Chris moves on to Brittany and acts her why she left. Point blank- she said there was no attraction towards Ben which was why she went home. Way to go girl. Here comes Samantha, the chirping little Chihuahua, screeching about the mean bullies in the house until Brittany shuts her down. As Chris and the ladies reminisce about Shawntel crashing the party, she shows up again to talk about that night. Immediately the women start squawking about her having thick thighs and not being pretty in person- ouch! They all watch as she gets rejected by Ben after her attempt to rekindle their connection that we think may have just been a one night stand.
Next up in the hot seat is Emily, the girl who was brutally honest about Courtney to Ben, fell in love but ultimately got dumped. Once she warned Ben about Courtney, she admits there was a negative cloud that loomed over their relationship and she admits that she is glad that she didn't end up with someone who would want to be with a girl like Courtney. Emily says if he does choose Courtney, "he made his bed and he can lie in it."
Nicki talks about her time with Ben and how he broke her heart as her new BFF Kacie B. watches on and shares the pain. Her departure was one that brought tears to our eyes for sure. She admits that she was shocked when she didn't get the rose and still has some questions for Ben. Next we have to watch Kacie B.'s emotional goodbyes as she watched on from center stage with Chris. Next up, the black widow herself- Courtney…
They bring her out and the girls immediately start to heat up. Her laugh and that ripped off Charlie Sheen phrase, "winning" is going to drive us to drink. Heavily. She was in it to win it. Is it just us or does Erika look like Count Chocula? That is for making the rude comment towards Shawntel! They all agree that Courtney is not a nice, genuine person and was the bully of the house. Apparently after being in a confined, sound proof room backstage and not hearing anything the girls said about her, Courtney comes out to defend her actions. Blakely lashes out first and asks what she ever did to call her a stripper and the rest of the girls start to comment and throw their comments at Courtney. As all the girls are lashing out at her, Courtney seems to be more somber than she was on the show and asks as though she is regretful of everything that she did on the show. We agree that she is only here on the show to repair her image. Courtney is visibly upset and starts to tear up. Losing! Where can we hire her publicist?
Last but not least, the man of the hour- Ben. His opening line is, "Welcome to my nightmare." Jennifer starts the questioning with, "What did Blakely have that I didn't?" Can we answer that? Then follows up her statement by saying he could never take Blakely home to meet his parents- ouch! After Nicki asks Ben when the doubts about her came into play, he couldn't answer her but admits that she is a wonderful woman. Jamie basically tells him that if things don't work out with him and his current fiancé (Courtney or Lindzi?) she will always think he is fabulous and he can call her. After seeing a few deleted scenes, we can say that Ben is even more of a dork than we initially thought. We were a little disappointed that Jenna the blogger didn't get a chance to say anything, or cry for that matter. We can't wait to see who Ben proposes to next week- will it be Courtney or Lindzi? Tune in next week to find out who the future Mrs. Flajnik will be.

The day after Aaron Hernandez was charged with the murder of Odin Lloyd, reports have surfaced that the former Patriots tight end may be under investigation for a double-homicide in 2012.
Here's a collection of stories detailing the latest developments:
*The Boston Globe, citing law enforcement sources, reports that Odin Lloyd may have had information about Hernandez's role in the 2012 slayings of Daniel Abreu and Safiro Furtado.
*Police have located and impounded an SUV with Rhode Island plates that was tied to the 2012 murders, according to CNN. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Hernandez had rented the car.
*Aaron Hernandez denied bail Thursday
*My column from Thursday — Why would Hernandez throw his life, his $41 million deal away? Maybe because money doesn't change character.
*An excellent breakdown from Yahoo! on the evidence in the case
*Former Patriots lineman Matt Light said he "never embraced anything Aaron Hernandez stood for."
*Yahoo!'s Dan Wetzel says Hernandez faces an "uphill battle" in court

The 100,000 Strong Initiative Explained
Ryan Ashbaugh took part in a 4-week summer program, not unlike the ones covered under the 100,000 Strong Initiative, during his last year as an undergraduate student with an exchange program called INTO China. People often ask him what he thought of China and his response is simple: he plans on going back… Should you choose to give China a chance you might find yourself saying the same thing.
In this post Ryan breaks down the 100K Strong Initiative, highlights financial aid opportunities, and shares resources for studying abroad in the PRC.

The time has come. "Weird Al" Yankovic, the biggest selling comedy recording artist of all time, has returned to demolish the pop landscape with Alpocalypse, his first full-length studio album in nearly five years.
Few would have guessed that Yankovic, who as a shy, accordion-playing teenager got his start sending in homemade tapes to the Dr. Demento Radio Show, would go on to become the biggest-selling comedy recording artist in history with over 12 million album sales. Now entering his fourth career decade, he has won 3 Grammys (with 14 nominations) and won countless awards and accolades for Weird Al classics like "Eat It," "Like a Surgeon," "Fat," "Smells Like Nirvana," "Amish Paradise," and "The Saga Begins." Yankovic is also well-known for his cult-hit feature film UHF (1989), his late '90s CBS Saturday morning series The Weird Al Show and the numerous AL-TV specials that he's made for MTV and VH1 over the years. His previous album Straight Outta Lynwood (2006) spawned the Billboard Top 10 single "White & Nerdy," the video for which spent two months at #1 on iTunes and garnered over 100 million hits on the Internet.
Since then, he released his greatest hits package The Essential "Weird Al" Yankovic (Legacy), wrote, starred in and directed the themed attraction Al's Brain: A 3-D Journey through the Human Brain (featuring cameos by everybody from Fabio to Paul McCartney) and accumulated over 2 million followers on Twitter. And with the recent release of his children's book When I Grow Up (HarperCollins), Al now adds "New York Times Bestselling Author" to his resume. An app version of the book for the iPhone and iPad is also available.
Alpocalypse was released on June 21, 2011, charting at #9 Billboard – the highest debut of his storied career. The first single from the album is the Lady Gaga parody "Perform This Way." This song has already had its fair share of controversy… suffice it to say that after a number of crossed wires and a crazy one-day media firestorm, all is well – the song has Lady Gaga's full approval and blessing. Yankovic directed the video clip for "Perform This Way," and his proceeds from the single and video were donated to the Human Rights Campaign. Alpocalypse has been nominated for two Grammy Awards for the 2012 ceremonies -- for Best Comedy Album and Best Short Form Video for the "Perform This Way" Music Video.
Alpocalypse also features parodies of Miley Cyrus ("Party In The CIA"), Taylor Swift ("TMZ"), B.o.B Featuring Bruno Mars ("Another Tattoo") and T.I. ("Whatever You Like"). The album's requisite polka medley – "Polka Face" – features accordion-driven versions of songs by the biggest artists of the day, including Justin Bieber, Ke$ha, Britney Spears, P!nk, Lady Antebellum, Katy Perry and of course, Lady Gaga.
The album also features a fine assortment of Al originals, including the Doors homage "Craigslist" (with keyboards by original Doors member Ray Manzarek), the twisted love song "If That Isn't Love" (with Taylor Hanson on piano) and the provocatively-titled magnum opus "Stop Forwarding That Crap To Me."
On Saturday, October 1, Comedy Central debuted "Weird Al" Yankovic LIVE! – The Alpocalypse Tour, filmed July 16 at Toronto's venerable Massey Hall. The unabridged version of the concert was released on DVD and Blu-ray on October 4. Weird Al (and his band) continues to tour with his high-energy, rock and comedy multimedia extravaganza throughout the world.

The Moose Jaw Municipal Airport is receiving a helping hand.
© Submitted photo.
Pictured is an aerial view of the Moose Jaw Municipal Airport.
The airport has been given $15,000 for a new lighting wiring system and taxiway crack sealing, as a part of the Saskatchewan Government's Community Airport Partnership Program. The government funding will award $700,000 for the 50 per cent cost-shared program, for 15 community airports in the province.
According to James Pottage, operations manager for provincial airways, the funding is important to smaller communities and towns who don't usually budget a lot of money for their airport.
"It kind of shows the Ministry of Highways feel it's important to keep these municiple airports open," said Pottage. "We are losing a few every year, just about, and that does limit (people's) ability to travel around the countryside, especially in Saskatchewan by air."
The funding is meant to offset costs for airports that don't receive scheduled passenger services, said the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure through a press release.
"The government is pleased to renew its commitment to aviation, which plays such a critical role in Saskatchewan's growing economy," said Don McMorris, minister of highways and infrastructure in a press release." Airports connect communities across our large province, benefit regional industry and provide landing space for air ambulances."
Moose Jaw's airport is utilized more than the public is aware of, said Pottage.
Beyond many business owners who fly out of the airport with their private aircrafts, the airport is used by crop spaying planes, sky diving groups and the air ambulance.
The funding will be welcome, said Pottage.
"Our lighting infrastructure is getting pretty old. It was all put in during the '80s and there has been short circuits, they are going to get it back working the way it was."
Since the program began in 2007, the government has invested $4.5 million into community airports.

What Color is Your Town?
Ever wondered what your town's identity might look like based on color? (No, not skin color. We've got Census data for that.) What ...
Ever wondered what your town's identity might look like based on color? (No, not skin color. We've got Census data for that.)
What about the color of your buildings? What's the palette of the houses in your community?
It's a question that intrigued artist Samuel Yates. He has created a public art project, called "The Color of Palo Alto," that seeks to catalog all the colors of the houses in the town, average them out, and arrive at a definitive set of tones for the city. From the New York Times' By Design blog:
...Yates photographed each parcel of land in the city of Palo Alto, Calif., seven days a week for one year.
A software program was designed to calculate color traits for each digital photo (such as average pixel colors). In a democratic manner then, each photographed parcel in the city will contribute one "vote" of average mean color toward a final Color of Palo Alto. The resulting shades, based on Yates's 17,729 photographs will be sold at hardware stores as "The Colors of Palo Alto."
Colors obtained by averages taken from particular streets, seasons and months were also developed. As three colors were determined to be mathematically and statistically the "Color of Palo Alto," Yates is putting the final decision between light, medium, and dark to the public. (You can weigh in at The Color of Palo Alto.)
Here's a nifty video trailer about the project:
What would be even neater would be to compare this with similar efforts in other cities. Wouldn't it be interesting to compare the results from Palo Alto to, say, Miami, or Seattle, or Santa Fe, or Portsmouth?
Although, given that the extremely detailed and complicated Palo Alto project has taken Yates seven years -- and counting -- to produce, I'm not holding my breath for another city anytime soon.

RUSH: Paul in Gainesville, Florida. Thank you for waiting. You're next on Open Line Friday. Hi.
CALLER: Hey, Rush.
RUSH: Hey.
CALLER: I'm a telecommunications student at the University of Florida, and it kind of goes hand-in-hand with the journalism school there.
RUSH: Right.
CALLER: And one of the things they teach us early on is that the people that we tell the news to and the stories, they're not very smart. They're not as smart as us so we gotta dumb down the stories for them.
RUSH: Do they say things like most people read at a seventh or sixth grade level, things like that?
CALLER: Yep, things exactly like that.
RUSH: So they tell you that you have to dumb yourself down in order to relate to your audience?
CALLER: Yeah, exactly.
RUSH: Now, how does that make you feel? You're in journalism school, you're in telecommunications. How does it make you feel when they tell you that the people you're gonna be informing or talking to are basically idiots?
CALLER: It seems like I'm not gonna be able to tell them a lot of the story that I want to tell.
RUSH: But what's incorporated? Isn't part and parcel of that, you gotta have a little contempt for people who are not very smart? If you run around, if you start your day thinking you're doing your job for dumb people, then you're gonna be arrogant. You're gonna be condescending toward them. You're gonna hold 'em in a little bit of contempt. You're gonna resent them a little bit. I maintain that this is one of the many roots of the problems of journalism: The idea that their audience doesn't know anything.
CALLER: Yeah.
RUSH: The audience doesn't know anything, and they're not capable. That's why when the audience complains... You know, it's the only business, Paul, where the customer's always wrong. You complain to a newspaper or a television station and they'll say, "Well, you know, you just really don't know how we operate here. You don't know how we put the news together. You just don't know." The customer's always wrong. You accuse 'em of bias, and you don't know what you're talking about.
"We're not biased! You're an idiot. You're stupid."
They don't say that to people, but you're being taught that that's how you have to realate to 'em. I, El Rushbo, on the other hand, am just the opposite. When I'm talking about the media, I make the mistake of thinking that they're smart. They're not. They are actually, I think, their audience. I think they're dumber than their audience, to be frank with you. But I, on the other hand, treat everybody listening to this program as though they know exactly what I'm talking about every time I open my mouth.
They may not know the information I'm gonna impart, but I assume you're capable of learning everything I am.
They don't.
And that's a great, great point.
RUSH: By the way, the journalism student, Paul from Gainesville, Florida, was also going to say that part of his education in telecommunications is that people are inherently not good people. He was gonna make my point for me that they have to be protected from themselves and from everybody else, that that's how he's being taught. He was gonna back me up on it.

Ex-campaign volunteer charged with obstruction
Kyle Wood recanted political attack story
A former volunteer for a Republican congressional campaign who had claimed to be the victim of a politically motivated assault has been charged with obstruction.
In late October, Kyle Wood, 29, reported to Madison police that he was attacked in his home. Wood claimed the attack was politically motivated. He told police his face was smashed into a mirror and he was choked during the attack.
Wood said the attack was retaliation because he was an openly gay Republican volunteering for Republican Chad Lee's campaign in the 2nd District.
Wood claimed the attacker called him a "political traitor."
According to court documents obtained by WISC-TV, five days after the alleged attack while police were questioning inconsistencies in his story, Wood told police, "You're right -- I did it to myself."
For one of his injuries, to his eye and forehead, Wood told police he used a rock from an aquarium, one that looked most like a fist, placed it in a sock and struck himself with it, according to the criminal complaint.
The complaint said Wood told police he hit his own head against a mirror, causing injuries to his forehead and eye.
The complaint also said Wood used a guitar string to create marks around his neck.
Wood could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
It's unclear when he's due in court for the charge, which is a misdemeanor.
The charge carries a penalty of nine months in jail and a $10,000 fine.

NC Asheville would have to be considered the favorite after a 16-2 conference run. Losses to Coastal Carolina (2) and Charleston Southern (T3) in conference.

Charleston Southern brings a little value to the table.
This is top dominated conference. I really don't see one of the bottom tier teams pulling any shockers here.

By Mumtaz Alam Falahi, TwoCircles.net,
Patna: The Bihar Assembly poll results announced on Wednesday have brought some good news for the state Muslim community – the community whose lot is hardly changed with the change of political regime in Patna.
The incoming 15th Bihar Assembly will have more Muslim MLAs than the outgoing one. While the parties like Congress, RJD and LJP that fielded more Muslim candidates in the just concluded Assembly poll have got severe electoral blows from the people, it is good that the new Assembly will have 19 Muslim MLAs against 15 in the outgoing Assembly. The community can now hope there will be more mouths to voice their concerns in the state legislature.
The better part of the news is that among the newly elected 19 Muslim MLAs there are two women – it would be perhaps first time that two Muslim women MLAs will be in one assembly. It is interesting that all the two were fielded by JDU-BJP alliance. Those fielded by other parties have lost. RTI activist Parveen Amanullah, wife of Urban Development secretary Afzal Amanullah, has won on JDU ticket from Sahebpur Kamal assembly segment. Razia Khatoon from the same party has won Kalyanpur seat.
Among the newly elected Muslim MLAs is only one from BJP. Lone party candidate Saba Zafar has won the heavily Muslim populated Amour seat. He was the lone Muslim candidate of the party in the state assembly election.
It is noteworthy that Muslim representation has increased in the Assembly despite the fact that most of the sitting Muslim MLAs could not retain their seats. Of the 15 Muslim MLAs who fought the election only five could win their seats. They are Abdul Bari Siddiqi of RJD (Alinagar), Izhar Ahmed of JDU (Gaura Boram), Md Tausif Alam of Congress (Bahadurganj),Akhtarul Iman of RJD (Kochadhaman) and Shahid Ali Khan of JDU(Sursand).
Muslim MLAs in BIHAR Assembly2010
Do we hope they will work for the community.They could think NEXT Time may not see VIDHANSABHA so make money as much as possible like others.
On the other hand RSS will take Hindutva works in Bihar from their 91 BJP MLAs. Now we will have to see them in every department.And of course from now on Nitish Kumar would be the Poster Boy of BJP instead of Narendra Mody in India.
What was the need to list
What was the need to list Muslim winners separately? That outlook is what is keeping Muslims isolated. They see everything in religious terms. Does ideology and political beliefs not matter to them? It is this attitude of religion first and religion last, that makes a Muslim a suspect in the eyes of the rest of Indians and he cannot progress without their support.
Muslims dont depend on the
Muslims dont depend on the progress of cow dung worshippers.Rather its because of muslims existence that this universe is functional.The moment there is no muslim on earth Allah(swt)will dismantle the whole universe and punish all disbelieving criminals.
You people have been brain
You people have been brain washed by your Saffron Party that Muslims are doing nothing in the development of India. Through this news channel at least they remind you time to time the contribution of Muslims in the development of India as well as for the whole world. We also know that it is very difficult to convenience the rigid and prejudice brain. We all know that these Muslim leaders are not going to do anything specially for the Muslim community but at least they are going to work for this fast developing India. You people force us to remind you our contribution that why these news are important because main stream news media have very little space for positive contribution of Muslim. Thanks
