F. Dean Lueking is a Lutheran pastor in River Forest, Illinois.
This week is Palm
and/or Passion Sunday, and choices will vary as to the form of worship and the
point at which the sermon falls. Palm Sunday, with its palms waving and
salutations sung to the Savior, is an event that children will enter into
readily even if adults are a bit shy. If the choice is for a Passion Sunday
emphasis, a dramatic reading is memorable for those who speak the parts and
those who listen--and the passion narrative lends itself particularly well to
this approach.
It is, after all, the
greatest story ever told.
Another option is to
focus on the second lesson.
Isaiah 50:4–9a; Philippians 2:5–11; Mark 14:1–15:47
The gospel reading this week tells the poignant story of the nameless woman's anointing of Jesus at the house of Simon the Leper.
Jeremiah 31:31–34
Among the most
stimulating books I've read recently is Samuel Wells's Be Not Afraid, from which I picked up the phrase repeated several
times in my current lectionary columns for the Century: "What's God up to?" This is the question that counts.
Jeremiah 31:31–34, Hebrews 5:5–10, John 12:20–33
It's Thursday afternoon or later, and Sunday is coming. For a pastor, the push is on to compose a sermon with application that's relevant to its hearers, along with compelling stories that illumine the connection to daily life. I do not disparage these pressures; I know them myself.
The Century's work relies primarily on subscriptions and donations. Thank you for supporting nonprofit journalism.

Carl Weinschenk spoke with Akil Chomoko, the product marketing manager for Volubill.
The past few years have made one thing certain: Networks on occasion will be called upon to do more than normal. This can be both expected traffic – such as that generated by the recently concluded NCAA basketball tournament – and it can be from unexpected emergencies. Akil Chomoko tells IT Business Edge blogger Carl Weinschenk that there are several ways to make it through times of high demand.
Weinschenk: Is there a significant difference between preparing networks for an expected spike – such as the NCAA tournament – and unpredicted emergencies?
Chomoko: It is a different mindset. For spikes like special events, operators will do a variety of different things depending on the nature of the spike. If it is a football tournament or festival, for example, they may want to put additional radio access network points in place. The response may be additional Wi-Fi for offload or it may be 3G or 4G masts. Those are typical ways of planning.
In the case of extra Wi-Fi, for instance, a local manager would approach the telephone companies involved and say they are doing this for the Olympics or whatever and they should be aware and become part of the planning team and help arrange things.
Weinschenk: What about an emergency, such as Hurricane Sandy?
Chomoko: Hurricane Sandy was quite a difficult one. [Handling such situations is] very dependent on infrastructure. There are a variety of things that can be done. Some examples: In that sort of emergency situation operators can prioritize certain types of traffic and deprioritize others. They can use deep packet inspection. That's one element. For instance, traffic to certain destinations and numbers may be allowed through whereas everything else is on low bandwidth or low priority in terms of connection. That's pretty standard, really.
There are new ways of doing things which are more focused. For example, there is now technology available, it's on some Sprint devices, with embedded agents in them which are designed for battery saving. They can stop particular apps, since apps in which requests go all the way to the edge affect more of the network.
Weinschenk: Why is it important to stop apps at the end device?
Chomoko: A device will keep on trying to get access to something or do something if it keeps on being blocked at the core. It keeps knocking on the door all the time. It is more effective to stop the device from continually retrying. The problem is that not all devices have embedded agents that can be controlled. Obviously the core is the first line of defense, but control can be more effective by going out to the edge.
Weinschenk: Is technology such as yours aimed at one type of network?
Chomoko: It is agnostic. It sits atop broadband, wireless and mobile networks. As a subscriber interacts with any service and uses any application, such as VOD, we police how they use the service in real time. If, for example, 1,000 VoIP calls initiate from one location at one point in time to a VoIP server, our software asks what to do. We may allow it to happen or first check if there is capacity … and then let it occur, once we check to make sure the subscriber has credit and meets other conditions.
Another approach is caching. People watch a lot of video. Why not cache it on the Internet and bring it to points closer to where it is used? We work with Akamai and Ericsson for instance to support things like March Madness.
Weinschenk: It seems that network operators need to be as proactive as possible.
Chomoko: Networks are dimensioned for standard service planning. Some redundancy is routinely built in. It is an element of spare capacity. But is very much a best effort approach on the part of operators. Now we take more of a view of controlling things and packing them and charging appropriately as a way to make money and to stretch the soup. I think every operator in the last two years started to do that.
Weinschenk: Are there standard approaches to network planning?
Chomoko: There is a network convention but the way marketing departments in most organizations promote goes way beyond what the network planners have built for. It is well known that most mobile networks are at saturation. Networks plan, but some plan better than others.

Holden Senior Center turns 10
On its 10th birthday, July 27, the Holden Senior Center is a busy place, used by seniors and community groups, scout troops and town boards.
Make a quick scan of the senior center's monthly newsletter and one could be excused for thinking it reads a little like a cruise brochure. Listed activities include musical acts, Victorian teas, card games, movies, meals and a choice of one-day excursions.
In that mix include exercise classes tailored to those over 65, and seminars on insurance, finance and identity theft.
Before the center was built, seniors were relegated to a wing of the old junior high school, after the rest of the building burned down in 1980. The town searched buildings it already owned to find a new home for senior activities. At the time, the old Rice School was the only place available.
"It was in pretty bad shape; most of it was condemned," Jim Jumonville, current selectman and a member of the board that had the charge of siting a senior center.
Fortunately, there was an open piece of land in the center of town and it was perfect for a senior center, or, as some people preferred at the time, town offices.
"It was kind of contentious at first," he said.
Town meeting appropriated $1.5 million for the senior center project, an architect was hired and the building just seemed to fly up in about a year, on time and under budget.
Once the groundbreaking was over and the seniors were ensconced in their new home, use of the facility "just exploded," Jumonville said.
"Now it's the prototype of how a senior center should be run. They're called all the time by other towns for information and advice," he said. "It's one of the jewels of Holden."
Louise Charbonneau, senior center director since 2005, agrees with that assessment.
"If you build it, they will come," she said. "We can easily justify the expense of the project." Charbonneau said user numbers have tripled since the center opened.
She recalled the years in the old junior high school, with the seniors' area, with rooms "all lined up like a choo-choo train," limiting use and lacking in hospitality. Charbonneau was senior clerk and later transportation coordinator for the center.
"We did well for the size of it," she said. "Whenever we had an activity, we had to cut off attendance at a much lower number than we do now."
The 10th birthday concert with Celtic and American folk music duo "Two Old Friends" was standing-roomonly with 130 attending and afterwards enjoying coffee and the enormous sheet cake donated by Oriol Health Care.
"We would never been able to have that many in the old place," Charbonneau said.
And that would have been a shame, since the audience clapped, sang and laughed at the corny jokes musicians Mac McHale and Emery Hutchins tossed out with broad smiles.
Besides a chance to socialize, the center provides outreach to the town's 3,584 senior citizens, the most important aspect of the job to Charbonneau.
The center provides information and referrals on elder finances, accessing health care and making connections for seniors who are looking into services that help them stay in their homes. The center also serves or delivers lunches daily, averaging 24 meals.
"It depends on the weather, the program that's following lunch, and the menu," Charbonneau said.
The transportation van takes riders to medical appointments, hairdressers and grocery shopping, with ridership peaking during the winter months. The center is a community for people who live alone, providing the simple social contacts that everyone craves.
"They are their own family. There's a fabulous knitting group on Tuesday morning where they've solved all the problems of the world. There's as much talking as knitting. When one of the members broke her hip, the others checked on her and gave her a big cheer when she came back," Charbonneau said.
She sees the close-knit staff as responsible for the senior center's success. Charbonneau credits activities coordinator Clare Nelson for bringing more cultural programs to the center, booking events like a one man play and a presentation by two sisters who co-authored a cookbook.
Transportation coordinator Naomi Suhlman oversees five part-time van drivers and a part-time van escort who helps board passengers. Cherylann Owoc and Paula Early are outreach workers and Theresa Black is the nutrition site manager.
"Senior clerk Maureen Buffone is the glue that holds the staff together," Charbonneau said.
The town's share of the center's budget is $239,075. Beyond that, Charbonneau pursues grants and donations. Two generous benefactors are The Friends of the Council on Aging, who provide funding for concerts, and Oriol Healthcare, which funds the van and provides personnel and ideas for senior-oriented programs.

Beautiful setting
Interesting hotel in lovely setting with view over Ullswater and access to the shore service and shared areas immaculate, and room managed to be fairly spacious and cosy at the same time.
The setting was amazing. You can walk down to the lake, and see a view over it from the dining room and many bedrooms. The little balcony with table and chairs made a pleasure of time spent in the room. There was a problem with hot water while we were there, which was a shame as the bathroom was lovely and a hot bath would have been nice after a day out. I have been in holiday recently in Sweden, where it is usual to have a floating jetty, to help wild swimmers get in and out of lakes. It would have been lovely to have had one to encourage this use of the lake.

Let's get back to the Trip Reports....thank you for the fabulous, sweet comments on the Paris post. We did have a fabulous time there, but it was time to leave our sweet hotel and board the high-speed train to Belgium!
It was an easy 90 minute train ride with gorgeous views.
There is no denying the lure of Paris, but we found an equally magical place on our next stop of the trip....Bruges, Belgium!
As with our trip to Santorini, Bruges arrived on our radar from a movie.
|In Bruges
The historic town is near the coast (west of Brussels), and because of the intricate canals in the city center, referred to as 'The Venice of the North.'
Bruges is like a fairytale, with cobbled streets and sidewalks and medieval architecture.
It's easily navigated on bicycle (as most locals do), and a boat tour through the canals was the perfect introduction to this city established in the 12th century.
We lucked out with several days of beautiful weather (although cooler than Paris), and Spring put on a show!
Of course we had to dig into the food right away, and learned the Belgians eat their waffles in the afternoon...at Tea Time! Sounds good to me!
These ain't Eggos either! (No offense to my beloved Eggo.) They are light as air with a crispy shell and soft center. We made our way through most of the toppings available (powdered sugar, fresh cream, fruit, chocolate and nutella). They are divine, but don't feel overly indulgent. (Good thing since I'd already been forced in to wearing spandex.)
What is indulgent are the Chocolatiers found on every block. It's just as amazing as you'd imagine. I'll pause while you drool over the pics.
One of the few 'sights' is the Belfry (or Bell Tower) in the city's market center. It's open to walk the three
We were rewarded with fabulous 360-degree views of the city, and a glimpse at the giant, working clock.
Of course after any kind of exertion, we were always ready for a snack! One of the other Belgian staples is frites...or fries. They even have fritteries, that specialize in making The Perfect Fry. An interesting twist is the selection of sauces they like to dip...their favorite being mayonnaise. (We didn't actually combine the frites with the waffles, but one was always in our menu rotation.)
The city center is also home to the weekly Farmer's Market....where all the locals stock up on fresh food and flowers. Listening to them sell their goods in Flemish definitely sucked us in!
Because the dollar is doing so fabulous *insert sarcasm*, we didn't do a lot of shopping. But one of my favorite stores was Dille & Kamille...every kitchen gadget you can imagine, along with some fabulous table-setting wares.
Most of our time was spent just exploring. It's a peaceful place straight from a storybook, and I was expecting to see Snow White appear at any moment.
Our last day, we biked out into the countryside about 10 miles...simply gorgeous.
Bruges is not a city full of must-see sights, but a place to wander, explore, taste and easily imagine life there 800 years ago.
The final leg of our trip is up next! Then I think it might be time to pick up a glue gun again.
* And for the record, there are some museums in Bruges. You may be surprised to hear I sat them out. If you're interested in the Salvador Dali museum, check with Mr. Sugarplum for details.

Tomorrow last exam, a presentation. I'm turning my swag on!
Excuse me, are you saying something? Nah, you can't tell me nothing
I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be, than me.

located next to aral station and mcdonalds. very good price to performance. typical low cost choice - clean and comfortable. Close to Liepzig Messe.
Everything regarding the hotel was great: personnel, furniture, service, nature around it (even a warbling of birds was heard there), transportation to the city! We liked it very much and would like to stay there once again. The quality-price ratio surpass all expectations.
Courteous staff, great restaurant, cleanliness, good location
Only stayed one night. Staff very friendly and room very comfortable. Not in a very smart parrt of town. More a restaurant with rooms. Sorry we did not get the chance to try the restaurant which looked very good. A bit expensive for what it was.
It was great; you definitely won't be disappointed with the room or staff; 3 kids and 2 adults fit easily in family suite with free roll-away.
Room is big enough, very clean, comfortable. Staff was really friendly. In the same building there is a super market, very convenient. If we have another plan to visit Leipzig, we definitely repeat this hotel.
The location is a bit far from city center. I think it is better to have more tableware prepared, but it was ok for us.
The staff was polite and friendly. The building would be good for big conferences.
Nice cozy hotel, easy to reach, close to Leipzig. Excellent food both in the restaurant next building and breakfest in the hotel.
Rooms are without air conditioning - good they had some free rooms in the shadow side :)
Location, Parking, Breakfast
Elevator only to the 4th floor, early wakeup due to light penetrate the screen.
localization very attractive due to near univesity neighbourhood. Rooms are small but nice for undemanding guests. 15 minutes walk to the city center also close to some markets and kebab restaurants.
Excellent reception by owner who took a very committed interest in making my stay more enjoyable.
Really friendly and helpful staff. Well equipped rooms and great comfort (better tha most 3-star hotels I 've ever been at). Simple but good quality breakfast buffet.
Need to pay attention to the check-in times!
close to the market area, good food quality
Location and cleaness
There was no internet connection . But in your site you said it has . So i was in there for business but i didnt connect to internet .
The room was clean and neat.
A bit too far away on foot but it's OK.
Breakfast, good value/price with comfort.
The reception closes early and during the evening there is no one there permanently (it would be nice to have someone there permanently at least until midnight).
Friendly personnel, good location for my business purpose
Somewhat difficult access due to road works (not the hotel's fault)
Fancy Trabant in the restaurant area - boy kids really liked it. =)
We didn't have problems at all during our stay in this hotel. Big tidy room and a bathroom, no noise from outside, friendly stuff.
I wouldn't call sauna and solarium ' the fitness centre' as it was in advertising... Restaurant is nice, but too expensive.
We love our stay at the Balance Hotel, mainly for the food and the services. The terrace in the back is charming and the breakfasts are fantastics. Very easy to reach the downtown using public transportation.
Staffs were good, breakfast was included, near the center but hard to get the hotel. Free and fast Internet !!
There were some stairs so with big luggage it was not easy to use (But staffs helped me) The cleaness was not so good. Breakfast was soso. The region it locates looked dangerous.
The room - incl. the bathroom - was as good or better than expected. A nice and quiet hotel. Breakfast was resonable without being something that you would remember. The town is nice.
The hotel is located in a part of the town where a lot of houses are empty and in need of renovation. Parking must take place on the street. The double bed was rather small.
At about 11pm I accidentaly booked Leipzig-Nord instead of Leipzig-City, and literally after 3-4 minutes I realized this and called them to change the booking. They took 50€ from me, because "the cancellation request came after 7p.m." Stupid and selfish move from their side.
the very friendly welcome and the uncomplicated way the hotel is run
The staff was excellent and accomodating. The hotel is clean and centally located with easy access to parking for the old central part of the city of Leipzig. We enjoyed our stay there.
Great location - close to the city of Leipzig and very quiet. Parking available in front of the hotel.
Big parking place, in the room it was warm, good breakfast.
The walls is too thin, we could hear everything was going at the next rooms.
Fantastic staff - really friendly and helpful. Everything you need was there, albeit in a budget setting.
Everything was absolutely super! Excellent staff, very helpful.Clean room with space:)) Nothig to complain of.
There was nothing to remark
that it was placed close to congress center and reception worked proffesional
the breackfast was nice
the room was very basic for a 4 star hotel
We were visiting the white - water canoe park and the hotel is very convenient for that.
The air conditioning did not work in our room. When I complained about this to the reception staff, the fault was ignorred, saying that it wasn't that hot anyway. The bottom line is I was uncomfortably hot at night so I didn't sleep well.
The hotel is central to all atractions in Leipzig. The rooms were spotless and very comfortable. The staff made sure we had everything we needed ie. extra pillows etc.
No complaints!
The hotel is very nice & perfectly located. It's biggest plus for me was the free internet connection.
They were very kind, gave us extra bedding and towels.
The friendly and supportive staff made my stay in Leipzig one to remember. The rooms are the ideal size with a very nice bathroom.
Nothing really it was all normal
did not have fans in the room
big room
smell in room
large flat, well decorated. nice situation.
some clues let indicated us that the cleaning was not well done or not very fresh, but that's the only negative point.
it was very convenient for centre of Leipzig.
Spacious room, great breakfast and I could easily recommend the food in the restaurant since I had the chance to eat in twice
3 tram stops from the main train station but found the area a bit dark at night hence better to take a cab to avoid any problems....furniture outdated
Helpful and friendly personal service at desktop, great breakfast, good restaurant. Close to the city center (3 tram stops) and to the Kubus conference center (3 tram stops)
Big room, staff.
The location for access from motorway,the friendly greeting from reception,the welcome and proffesional staff in the resturantf was all one could ask fro for a late arrival after a long day
Close to train station, low price
No space, bathroom is too small
airy & clean room. better than we expected
credit card payment wasnt available
Here's why:
We're not the seller.
At KAYAK we don't set the prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We compile tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.
If you have more questions or if you have a bad price to report to us,
please send us an
and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

|Infrastructure Research and Technology Strategic Plan and Roadmap
|Project Description:
|This project is an extension of activities conducted under pooled fund study SPR-3(078) to address the very important problem of wind-induced large amplitude vibration of bridge stay cables. Research activities will focus on wind tunnel tests to further clarify the impact of helical fillets, High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipe roundness, and wind turbulence on aerodynamic stability of stay cables.
|The key objective of this project will be to perform wind tunnel tests on a full-scale section model of a typical bridge stay cable to evaluate the influence of wind turbulence, aerodynamic surface treatment, roundness, damping, and cable/wind orientation on cable stability.
|Background Information:
|Rain/Wind-Induced vibration of stay cables has become a significant issue in the United States as well as around the world. There have been a number of significant observed events in this country accompanied by structural damage. A major pooled fund project has been underway to study the problem and develop guidelines to mitigate the problem. During this study, it has become apparent that more detailed information is needed regarding the influence of wind turbulence, aerodynamic surface treatment, roundness, damping, and cable/wind orientation on cable stability.
|Product Type:
|Research report
|Test Methodology:
|Wind tunnel tests will be performed to provide necessary information regarding surface treatments and specific cable instability issues. A full-scale section model will be tested statically and dynamically in both turbulent and smooth wind conditions over a full range of expected wind speeds. The model will be configured with and without a typical helical fillet attached to the High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipe. Test runs will be performed for a series of cable/wind orientations, pipe rotation angles, and levels of damping.
|Other Information:
|Tests will be performed in the 3 meter by 6 meter wind tunnel located at the National Research Council Canada (NRCC) in Ottawa, Ontario.
|Expected Benefits:
|The research will help to fill the knowledge gap regarding the significance of pipe roundness and a common surface treatment, such as a helical fillet, on the aerodynamic stability of bridge cables. The information obtained will support pooled fund study SPR-3(078).
|Name: Research report.
Product Type(s): Research report
Description: The deliverable will consist of one or several research reports, as appropriate, to document wind tunnel testing. The influence of aerodynamic surface treatment, wind turbulence, pipe roundness, and cable orientation on cable stability will be discussed.

The World Gold Council (WGC) released their Gold Demand Trends report on May 17th
Global gold demand in Q1/12 was 1,097.6 tonnes (t), down 5% from the high demand levels seen in Q1/11 of
1,150.7t. This decrease was largely to be expected given the introduction of import taxes in India and high gold prices.
Gold demand value however, showed a 16% increase year on year to an estimated US$59.7 billion.
The average price of gold for the quarter was US$1,690.57, 22% higher than the average for Q1/11. Demand for the quarter was underpinned by increased demand in China, continued central bank purchasing and inflows into exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
Highlights from the report :
i) China's investment and jewellery demand reached 255.2t up 10% on the previous year's levels.
Investment demand recorded strong growth with a quarterly record of 98.6t, up 13% from Q1/11. Jewellery demand in China
also increased significantly to 156.6t, accounting for 30% of global jewellery demand making China the largest jewellery
market for the third consecutive quarter;
ii) Gold demand in India was affected in Q1/12 by a number of factors; a new tax on gold jewellery, two increases in the import duty for gold and weakness and volatility in the rupee. Jewellery demand fell 19% to 152.0t from Q1/11. Investment demand was down 46% from the previous year at 55.6t. In May, the government withdrew the new tax on jewellery and the market is already responding positively;
iii) Central banks across the globe continued the now established trend of net purchasing with demand in Q1/12 reaching 80.8t. Demand was driven by Eastern Europe with Russia and Kazakhstan adding to their holdings and accounting for a substantial amount of the purchasing. Mexico's central bank made the largest single purchase of 16.8t. The main driver for this demand by emerging market central banks is the need to diversify
their holdings, and
iv) Q1/12 demand for ETFs and similar products totalled 51.4t (~US$2.8 billion), in contrast to Q1/11, when
the sector witnessed net outflows.
Perhaps more impactful than the WGC's gold demand and supply stats was the revelation this week by WGC chief executive Aram Shishmanian who said sharp increases in mining costs mean gold will need to reach US$3,000/oz in five years for the industry to stay profitable. Gold producers currently needed a gold price of US$1,300 to survive but faced steep rises in mining costs, along with the cost of dividends and host nation taxes.

Establishment Republicans are still lost, and they're still too clueless to know it
This quote from Susan Collins says more about what's wrong with our current governing class than any single quote I've seen in the last few years.
Senate Republicans do not deny that Mr. DeMint has opened a rift. "It is a new and shocking development to have a member of our conference opposing incumbent Republicans," Ms. Collins said….
Shocking, indeed! To think that someone in public office might actually stand by his principles and do what he thinks is good for the country instead of being loyal to the fellow members of the ruling class. Can't have that, now, can we?
I have long maintained that our political class is far more loyal to each other than to the country or even their own voting base. Here is vivid proof. She genuinely believes that other members of her party ought to support her and her kind no matter what collectivist policies they support, and no matter how often they "reach across the aisle" to help the collectivist opposition.
Ms. Collins, since you have no governing principles of your own, I commend to you an examination of the man your are criticizing so strongly. With just a hint of perception and self-awareness, you might see what such principles look like.
Bill Clinton – "oops, I may have been wrong about passing health care"
Way back in April of this year, I noted that Bill Clinton had told the Democrats not to worry, that the American people would get over the passage of the health care legislation as soon as they saw how good it would be for them.
A good portion of them [Democrats] have deluded themselves into thinking Bill Clinton was right – that after they passed the legislation all the furor would subside and Americans would accept the new legislation – even embrace it. The term "Judas goat" comes to mind. And I think for those who bought into that nonsense, they realize they've certainly been led into the electoral slaughter pen. The Obama post law-signing sales tour has been anything but successful in changing the public's perception of the law. And it certainly hasn't cooled the anger about its passage.
Guess what – nothing's changed. Well, except what Clinton is dining on these days … some crow:
Former president Bill Clinton, a champion of healthcare reform, admitted on Sunday that he made the wrong prediction about the popularity of President Obama's healthcare bill.
Initially, Clinton had predicted that the polls in favor of Democrats would be boosted as soon as the legislation was signed into law. Instead, Clinton said on NBC's "Meet the Press," his prediction was wrong for two reasons.
"First of all, the benefits of the bill are spread out of three or four years. It takes a long time to implement. And secondly, there has been an enormous and highly effective attack on it," he said.
You be there has – and that attack has been based in the facts coming out about the new law. In fact, the anger had gotten hotter as more and more people find out they were lied to, duped and frankly, steamrolled into a new system that doesn't do any of the things they promised.
My guess is Clinton didn't mention that.
Oh, and I loved this:
The former president said he thought the current commander in chief got "disoriented" for a while, but "I think he is getting his groove back now."
Uh, you mean because he's out "campaigning" again and attacking Republicans. Yup, that's about the only "groove" the man owns. Let's see how that works in November.

Main Forums > In Memoriam
Chris Jones 1960 - 1993
I just keep thinking of Chris lately.We met in Mykonos in 1978 : he a young handsome American, me a 23-year old flightattendant.We started visiting each other after that. You met my family, my bf's parents and sister, and I got to know Chicago with you.We went horsebackriding, fishing, camping together. I took you to Paris, Rome and Athens.You were so handsome and so cute....Until the day your sister called to tell me you were sick, very sick. You struggled for more then a year...in vain.Blind, disorientated, incontinent and skin over bones you passed away in the spring of 1993...Chris, I still love you... you were just a boy....In sweet memory.Herman
Hullo Herman , what a nice memory :) I am glad you were able to have such a man in your life , and you always will :) I find as I grow older , MOST of the good times of the past bring peace :) wishing you great memories and a wonderful good time with your partner of now ! Karl :-*

The latest news and views about music in Milwaukee and beyond
Cream City Soundcheck site goes live
Cream City Soundcheck, a new music series and website established by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's Doc UWM media center, is up and running following an official kickoff party last Thursday at Turner Hall.
The site's got a nice, homespun feel to it and some high-quality video content made by UWM film students, featuring local performances and Milwaukee adventures from touring indie bands like Yacht and Generationals. Yacht for instance hopped aboard a charter boat for a tour of Lake Michigan (how appropriate), while Generationals went all over town, to such local gems as Koz's Mini Bowl, Buck Bradley's and Rushmor Records. Local bands Maritime, Kings Go Forth and Paul Cebar Tomorrow Sound also appear in the first batch of Cream City Soundcheck videos.
Check out what the series has come up with so far, and be on the look out for more Soundcheck videos featuring local bands The Fatty Acids, Kane Place Record Club and R.A.S. Movement featuring Naima Adedapo.

Retic count; reticulocyte index; corrected reticulocyte
To help evaluate the bone marrow's ability to produce red blood cells (RBCs) and to help distinguish between anaemia related to blood loss or destruction and anaemia related to decreased RBC production; to help monitor bone marrow response and return of normal marrow function following chemotherapy treatment, bone marrow transplant, or post-treatment follow-up for iron deficiency anaemia
If a patient has a decreased (or increased) RBC count, haemoglobin, and haematocrit and the doctor wants to evaluate bone marrow function
A blood sample obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm or sometimes from pricking a finger (or the heel of an infant)
This test measures the number and percentage of reticulocytes in the blood and serves as an indicator of the adequacy of bone marrow red blood cell (RBC) production. Reticulocytes are immature red blood cells. They are produced in the bone marrow when stem cells differentiate to the next stage of RBC development, eventually forming reticulocytes and finally mature RBCs. Most RBCs are fully mature before they are released from the bone marrow into the blood, but about 0.5 - 2% of the RBCs in circulation will be reticulocytes.
The body attempts to maintain a stable number of RBCs in circulation by continually removing old RBCs (approximately 120 days old) and producing new ones in the bone marrow. If this steady state is disrupted by an increased loss of RBCs or by decreased production, then the affected patient will develop anaemia. Increased loss of red blood cells may be due to acute or chronic bleeding (haemorrhage) or haemolysis. The body compensates for this loss by increasing the rate of RBC production. When this happens the number and percentage of reticulocytes in the blood increases until the balance is restored or until the production capacity of the marrow is reached.
Decreased RBC production may occur when the bone marrow is not functioning normally (due to a bone marrow disorder such as aplastic anaemia or due to marrow suppression from a variety of causes including radiation and chemotherapy treatments for cancer), because of insufficient erythropoietin (a hormone produced by the kidneys to stimulate RBC production) or because of deficiencies in certain nutrients such as iron, vitamin B12, or folate. This decreased production leads to decreased numbers of RBCs in circulation, decreased amounts of haemoglobin (an oxygen-carrying protein inside the RBC), a decreased haematocrit (the amount of cells versus plasma in the blood) and a decreasing number of reticulocytes as old RBCs are removed from the bloodstream but not fully replaced.
Occasionally, both the reticulocyte count and the RBC count will be increased because of excess RBC production. This may be due to a variety of causes including inappropriately increased production of erythropoietin, disorders that chronically produce increased numbers of RBCs (polycythaemia vera), and even smoking.
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm or sometimes from pricking a finger or the heel of an infant.
The reticulocyte count is ordered to help determine if the bone marrow is responding adequately to the body's need for RBCs and to help determine the cause of and classify different types of anaemia. The number of reticulocytes must be compared to the number of RBCs to calculate a percentage of reticulocytes; thus, the test is ordered along with a RBC count. A haemoglobin and/or haematocrit are also usually ordered in order to evaluate the severity of the patient's anaemia.
The RBC, haemoglobin, and haematocrit are often ordered routinely as part of a full blood count (FBC). Often included with the FBC is an evaluation of RBC characteristics such as cell size, volume and shape. Based on these results, a reticulocyte count may be ordered to further examine RBCs. Reticulocytes can be distinguished from mature RBCs because they still contain remnant genetic material (RNA) inside them, a characteristic not found in mature RBCs. Circulating reticulocytes generally lose their RNA within one to two days, thus becoming mature RBCs.
In a healthy patient, the reticulocyte percentage is very stable. When the number of RBCs decreases (thus the haematocrit decreases), the percentage of reticulocytes may appear increased compared to the overall number of RBCs. In order to get a more accurate assessment of bone marrow function, the calculated reticulocyte percentage (%) is often corrected with a calculation called a corrected reticulocyte count or a reticulocyte index (RI). This calculation compares the patient's haematocrit with a normal haematocrit value.
Reticulocyte (%) = [number of reticulocytes / number of red blood cells] x 100
Reticulocyte Index = reticulocyte count (%) x [measured haematocrit / normal haematocrit]
A reticulocyte count may be ordered when a patient has a decreased RBC count and/or a decreased haemoglobin and haematocrit and the doctor wants to evaluate bone marrow function. In a patient with no apparent symptoms, these findings may be found during routine blood work. Testing may also be ordered when a patient has symptoms such as paleness, fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath and/or blood in the stool.
When a patient has a known iron or vitamin B12 or folate deficiency, known kidney disease, known bone marrow suppression (such as that due to chemotherapy or bone marrow transplant) and/or is undergoing erythropoietin treatment, the reticulocyte count (and RBC count, haematocrit, and haemoglobin) may be ordered at intervals recommended by the doctor to monitor marrow function and response to treatment.
When a patient has an increased number of RBCs and elevated haemoglobin and haematocrit the reticulocyte count may be ordered to help determine the degree and rate of overproduction of RBCs.
What the doctor is looking for is an appropriate response from the bone marrow to see that the bone marrow is reacting as it should to an increased demand for RBC production.
The reticulocyte count is a reflection of recent bone marrow activity. If the bone marrow is responding appropriately to the demand for increased numbers of RBCs, then the bone marrow will allow for the early release of more immature RBCs (reticulocytes) - thus the increased reticulocyte count. If a patient haemorrhages (bleeds), then the number of reticulocytes will rise a few days later in an attempt to compensate for the red cell loss. If a patient has chronic blood loss then the number of reticulocytes will stay at an increased level as the marrow tries to keep up with the demand for new RBCs. If the marrow is unable to keep up or is not functioning normally, then the number of reticulocytes may be normal or only slightly elevated despite demand, but will eventually decrease due to lack of adequate production. If the number of reticulocytes is not elevated in an anaemic patient then it is likely that there is some degree of bone marrow dysfunction or failure and/or a deficiency of erythropoietin.
The reticulocyte count gives an indication of what may be happening but is not directly diagnostic of any one particular disease. It is a sign that further investigation may be necessary and a tool to monitor therapy.
If reticulocyte numbers rise following chemotherapy, a bone marrow transplant, or treatment of an iron or vitamin B12 or folate deficiency, then bone marrow RBC production is beginning to recover. In conditions causing RBC overproduction the number of reticulocytes and RBCs, the concentration of haemoglobin, and percentage of haematocrit will all be increased.
Patients who move to higher altitudes may have increased reticulocyte counts as their body adapts to the lower oxygen content of their new location. Smokers also may demonstrate increased number of RBCs and reticulocytes.
Reticulocyte counts may be increased during pregnancy. Newborns have a higher percentage of reticulocytes but the number drops to near adult levels within a few weeks.
Traditionally, reticulocyte counts have been done manually by looking at a specially stained slide under the microscope and counting the number of reticulocytes in a number of fields of view. This method is still in use but it is in the process of being replaced by automated methods that allow for a greater number of cells to be counted, thus enhancing the accuracy of reticulocyte counts.

The Best Workout Music On The Charts Right Now
While club music generally dominates the workout scene, the bands have come out swinging this month. And if you can't decide between rock and pop, the cast of /Glee/ is straddling the line with their show choir version of a Journey classic.
1. Ashley Tisdale - It's Alright, It's Okay - 130 BPM
2. Green Day - Know Your Enemy - 130 BPM
3. 3OH3! - I'm Not Your Boyfriend Baby - 140 BPM
4. Keri Hilson, Kanye West & Ne-Yo - Knock You Down- 155 BPM
5. U2 - Magnificent - 116 BPM
6. The Veronicas - Take Me On The Floor - 140 BPM
7. Hey Monday - Homecoming - 150 BPM
8. Esmee Denters - Outta Here - 126 BPM
9. Kristinia DeBarge - Goodbye - 120 BPM
10. Glee Cast – Don't Stop Believin' - 124 BPM
MC's resident DJ Chris Lawhorn weeds through the Top 40 charts to find the best new workout music. The songs are organized, by beats per minute, into playlists designed to match the speed of your routine, while maximizing its results.
Chris Lawhorn spent his teens playing in punk and folk bands in Fort Wayne, IN. Apart from the occasional solo album, the rocking has taken a backseat to deejaying and production for his Case/Martingale label. Thankfully, this means that time once spent sleeping in the back of a van has since been freed up to scour places like Buenos Aires and Osaka for new music.
Chris has a bachelor's degree in English and Telecommunications from Ball State University. It finally went to use in creating RunHundred.com - a Web site that helps people find music that fits the pace of their workouts.

A positive number is 30 less than its square. Find the number.
First, let us label the unknown, the positive number we are asked to solve. For example, we can use "n". Hence n^2 is its square. What does it mean to be 30 less? Another way to phrase is that it means that the square, n^2, exceeds n by 30. So if we add 30 to n we get n^2. In equation form this can be written as
n+30 = n^2
n^2 - n - 30 = 0
Here you should get two solutions. Since the problem says 'positive number', this will limit your solution.
For the other two, I'll give you something to start with and you can write the equations on your own.
2) Consecutive can colloquially mean "the term in the sequence that follows". So if we choose n again as our integer, n+1 is its consecutive number. Products between two numbers can be written as xy, where x and y are two numbers.
3) Trickier in terms of wording, but same concepts apply as above.
What does it mean to have a sum of squares? ex. x^2 + y^2
What does it mean to have two consecutive positive even integers? ex. 2 and 4 and 2n and 2(n+1) [can you justify the last example?]
If you want me to verify if you set up the equations correctly, you may ask.

I'm jealous! Not much signs around here...dropped to -4 C last night so everything is frozen solid this morning.

We haven't had freezing temperatures for a week or two, and will not have the oncoming week either. That's why I think it is better to live here than in Oslo! There they have warmer summers but not as long season as we have here.

Supreme Odds: How Will Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Vote On Marriage Equality?
For Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the argument that same-sex couples should be satisfied with civil unions or domestic partnerships probably has a familiar ring — and not a pretty one.
It probably sounds a lot like the argument that opponents made against women at the Virginia Military Institute in U.S. v. Virginia in 1996. Ginsburg, writing for the majority, rejected the state's proposal to create a "separate program" for women cadets. She called it a "pale shadow" of the all-male academy and "unequal in tangible and intangible facilities."
Although she is the oldest currently serving Supreme Court justice, Ginsburg is the feistiest when it comes to individual civil rights and probably the most progressive when it comes to LGBT people. During oral arguments in the Defense of Marriage Act case, Ginsburg said DOMA treats marriages of same-sex couples as "skim milk," compared to the whole milk of male-female couples.
If there is one caveat about how Ginsburg might vote, it is her repeated public comments lamenting that the landmark abortion rights decision, Roe v. Wade, went "too far too fast." An incremental step, she explained most recently at a forum at Columbia Law School, "would have put [the court's] imprimatur on the side of change and continued in the direction in which [the country was] heading" on the right to abortion.
This has made some wonder if she is feeling the same urge concerning marriage for same-sex couples.
Here's what the odds look like, statistically speaking, for Ginsburg, as well as some other factors to weigh in when considering how she might vote:
Percent voted pro-gay: 80
Percent voted with liberal wing: 86
Odds for two pro-gay votes: 4 to 1
Appointed by: President Bill Clinton
Age: 80
Religion: Jewish
Most notable case: Ginsburg wrote the 5 to 4 majority opinion in Christian Legal Society v. Martinez, upholding a school's policy against sexual orientation discrimination, calling it "a reasonable, viewpoint-neutral condition on access" to school resources. Legal activists were particularly enamored a remark within that opinion in which Ginsburg said, "Our decisions have declined to distinguish between status and conduct" with regard to attempts to disadvantage gay people by saying being gay is all about sexual "conduct" with a same-sex partner.
Interesting factoids: The court's tiniest, most frail justice is undeniably one of its toughest. She's served while battling cancer twice and recovering (just last June) from two broken ribs. She loves opera and has made cameo appearances in local productions with colleague Antonin Scalia.
Notable remark during Prop 8 argument: She summarily rejected an argument by Yes on 8 attorney Charles Cooper that the Supreme Court's dismissal of the 1971 Baker v. Nelson (Minnesota marriage) case were relevant today: "Mr. Cooper, Baker v. Nelson was 1971. The Supreme Court hadn't even decided that gender-based classifications get any kind of heightened scrutiny. And the same-sex intimate conduct was considered criminal in many states in 1971, so I don't think we can extract much in Baker v. Nelson.
Notable remark during DOMA argument: When BLAG attorney Paul Clement tried to argue that "no state loses any benefits by recognizing same-sex marriage" under DOMA, Ginsburg jumped in to point out that DOMA's effects "touch every aspect of life –your partner is sick, Social Security – I mean it's pervasive. It's not as though, well, there's this little federal sphere and it's only a tax question. It's as Justice Kennedy said, 1,100 statutes, and it affects every area of life. And so you are really diminishing what the state has said is marriage. You're saying, no, state did two kinds of marriage –the full marriage and then this sort of skim milk marriage."
Lisa Keen, co-author of Strangers to the Law: Gay People on Trial, will be posting nearly daily on legal matters leading up to and beyond the Supreme Court decision. Her coverage on this and other issues is also available at KeenNewsService.com.
Glad to see these articles, but they need to account for the fact that a "pro gay vote" could mean striking down Prop 8 as well as striking down gay marriage everywhere. A "pro gay vote" limiting Prop 8 to California does little for the rest of us in more conservative states, and though it is a good step, it is insufficient.
Ginsburg's words on Roe are nonsense. They tacitly endorse the heckler's veto by being hesitant to grant too unpopular a right. Either we should be equal before the law or we shouldn't. I have a hunch she'd feel differently if she were gay, but alas, we should be content with incremental progress it seems.

Federal Agency Begins Implementing Helium Stewardship Act; Offers Crude Helium at Revised Price of $95 per Mcf
Amarillo, TX – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has issued an Invitation for Offers (IFO) to sell 400 million cubic feet of crude helium from the Federal Helium Reserve for $95 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf). This offer is made as part of the initial phase in implementing the Helium Stewardship Act (HSA). Offers are due to BLM by January 15, 2014.
The HSA succeeds the recently expired Helium Privatization Act and allows for continued operation of the federally managed helium reservoir and pipeline near Amarillo, Texas, which supplies about 42 percent of domestic demand for crude helium. The intent of the HSA is to allow for a smooth transition to private means of production as the reserve is steadily drawn down.
The price of $95 per Mcf is up from $84 per Mcf in 2013 and reflects a change in methodology designed to more closely match market forces, encourage industry conservation, and provide a higher return for American taxpayers.
The quantity of helium being offered in the January IFO is less than BLM has typically made available in the past. Much of the helium in the reserve is currently stored under contract, having been previously purchased but not yet extracted. It is anticipated that this reduced offering will lead storage contract holders to withdraw their privately owned stock and encourage robust interest in future auction sales. This move is not expected to reduce the amount of helium delivered through the BLM pipeline in 2014.
The complete IFO can be found on the BLM Helium Operator website: http://www.blm.gov/nm/st/en/prog/energy/helium/helium_operators_information.html
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

The first night was spent getting lost in downtown Barcelona, Nashville-Davidson, Tennessee. Portland, Oregon. My body was a bit lethargic and my sinuses were still weezy so I decided to walk around the city for a few hours and call it a night, Zestril FOR SALE. Acheter en ligne Zestril, acheter Zestril bon marché, The next day I woke up rejuvenated and went exploring.
On my MUST see list:
La Sagrada Familia
Parc Guell
Picasso Museum
I had other various sites and attractions I wanted to see in Barcelona, Zestril without prescription, Where can i cheapest Zestril online, but those three listed above were the main attractions.
Day 1: La Sagrada Familia
The magnificent church, købe Zestril online, αγοράζουν online Zestril, Boston, Massachusetts. Charlotte, Carolina, designed by Gaudi, was in full construction mode when I visited, canada, mexico, india. Baltimore, Maryland. Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Never in my life had I seen such an impressive looking church, from the outside, Nashville-Davidson, Tennessee. Portland, Oregon. Zestril FOR SALE, Though the cranes too away some of the old time feel, the numerous towers, delicate Christian artwork, and columns made La Sagrada Familia look more like a palace than a church. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Las Vegas, Nevada, I remember having neck pains just from getting mindlessly lost starting at the incredible structure.
Inside was a different story, cheap Zestril no rx. Online Zestril without a prescription,
For 12 euros I feel like I got robbed. The building is completely empty, rx free Zestril. I understand the church always needs money to help fund the completion in 2026, but taking advantage of tourists is not the way to do it, Zestril FOR SALE. Zestril 50mg, Inside I was greeted with the enjoyable sound of large spinning saws and the smell of fresh saw dust. I could have spent all day watching these construction workers do their job, Zestril withdrawal, Order Zestril online c.o.d, but I decided to leave after about 5 minutes.
Day 2: Parc Guell
Day 2 was one of the most memorable days of my trip, Indianapolis, Indiana, San Francisco, California. Zestril no prescription, A trip to Barceloneta beach in the morning and an adventure to Parc Guell in the afternoon. Zestril FOR SALE, I celebrated my 26th birthday on this day.

I remember the long hilly streets up the the park, purchase Zestril online. Australia, uk, us, usa, Very similar to those famous downtown streets of San Francisco.
Another one of Guadi's creations that went unfinished, Parc Guell is a fabulous park with large statues, gardens, and romatic houses, Zestril FOR SALE. Even during the winter, cheap Zestril, Zestril in cats, dogs, children, there was still vegetation all around.

Dallas, Texas. San Antonio, Texas. I really enjoyed the sight seeing and the walks to reach summits like this one below.
Day 3: Picasso Museum
One of my favorite themed museums on euro trip, the Picasso Museum houses some of the late Pablo Picasso's best work. Zestril FOR SALE, I highly recommend a trip to this museum to check out exceptional paintings from the Blue Period and the exhibits documenting Picasso's obsession with Japanese pornographic paintings. I need not explain more.
The museum did a great job of going in chronological order to help follow the life and inspirations of Picasso. As with most museums in Europe, there are times during the week where entrance is free. A great way to see first class art work on a backpacker's budget.
Nights in Barcelona
The nights in Barcelona were a completely difference experience, Zestril FOR SALE.
Sant Jordi is one of the premier party hostel chains in all of Europe. Every night they host a pub-crawl where travelers meetup with others from different Sant Jordi hostels to go club hopping.
Spain is well known for it's relaxed life style. Clubs stay open until 6am in the morning and the locals don't usually go out until 3 or 4am. Zestril FOR SALE, I went out on the pub crawls 3 of the 5 nights. The 1st night I explained above, the 4th night was a rather special one I will describe later.
Spanish Pub-crawls
If your used to going to bed at 8am in the morning and waking up at 2pm in the afternoon then you need not worry. For others, like myself, there is quite a bit of an adjustment to "normal" lifestyle.
Typically we the travelers would gather around 11:30 - 12am in in the evening, hang out at the hostel for drinks until 2am, (Did I mention the drinks at these clubs are expensive!), and go clubbing hopping until your mind goes numb.
The night would usually start off at a couple of local bars, Zestril FOR SALE. The drinks were cheap and the locals scarce. As the night went out we'd arrive at clubs that progressively grew bigger by the hour. Finally around the 5th or 6th destination, we would be taken to an ultra-club, packed with locals and tourists alike. Picture pulsing loud euro-dance music and extraordinary cocktail bars crowed with people waiting for their next drink. Zestril FOR SALE, And if you still haven't had enough, head to the local after party to dance the morning away. The weekends are even crazier as the party does not stop until 2pm in the afternoon. I never did make it to the final club on the pub-crawl.
Jan 21st
Easily the best birthday I've ever experienced in the most random of ways. The only night I did not go club hopping, besides the 1st night. This adventure deserves its own post in the future. I spent the day at Barcoleneta Beach, climbed Parc Guell in the evening, and had a great sushi buffet date at night. I never knew a sushi buffet existed. Such unusual circumstances led up to this day.

Love these? Me too! I'm sure someone else in the world has come up with the same thing, but I was not looking at their idea when I made these. They're another fun result of sitting down at the dining room table with paper circles! And the good news is you really don't need any special supplies! As I mentioned with yesterday's paper ornaments, don't be afraid to try these in contrasting neutral colors for a more sophisticated look. They could be great wedding decorations too!

- colored paper
- a soup bowl to trace

ROCKFORD - A man accused of murder doesn't even put up a fight to clear his name.
Wyatt Hawkins, 31, agreed to a plea deal for his role in the murder of Troy Crecy back in 2012. Hawkins pled guilty to 2nd degree murder. In exchange, he'll spend the next 16 years in prison.
The shooting happened at a home on 8th Street in July 2012. Police found Crecy with a bullet in his stomach. At the times, witnesses said Hawkins got into a fight with Crecy and shot him.

Hey Redrum,
I am familiar with SPSS and various other data software programs (SPS JMP, DataDesk, R, etc.). This stuff is not always easy. Do you mind explaining how you are able to say this: "The results of the MANOVA indicate that the groups tested do have an affect on my dependent variables (as a whole and separately)." Hypothesis tests? Statistics? Error?
There are a quite a few ways to tackle this, and I have used SPSS pretty recently (and also own a pretty thick and expensive book on it). If you want to attach a data set in whatever format you have, I could look over it and act as another set of eyes. I may or may not be able to direct you some.
For your own edification/convenience, allow me to list the Assumptions of Manova from Discovering Statistics Using SPSS by Andy Field (second edition): (Of course, you may already know all this)
1) Independence: Are your observations statistically independent?
2) Random Sampling: Your data should be randomly sampled from the population of interest and measured at an interval level.
3) Multivariate normality: In ANOVA, we assume that our dependent variable is normally distributed within each group. In the case of MANOVA, we assume that the dependent variables (collectively) have multivariate normality with groups.
4) Homogeneity of covariance matrices: In ANOVA, it is assumed that the variances in each group are roughly equal (homogeneity of variance). In MANOVA we must assume that this is true for each dependent variable, but also that the correlation between any two dependent variables is the same in all groups. This assumption is examined by testing whether the population variance-covariance matrices of the different groups in the analysis are equal.
You are also, of course, free to PM me. Hopefully I can be of some help.
