New Calumet police chief fired
Roger Rogge
GREEN VALLEY, Ariz. – Roger Rogge, 79, of Green Valley, Ariz., and formerly of Hancock, passed away peacefully at home March 28, 2013.
He was born in Milwaukee, Wis., on May 13, 1933, to Esther and Theodore Rogge.
After graduating from Kingsford High School, he enlisted in the Army in 1952 and was stationed in Germany.
After his military service he earned a degree in business administration from Michigan Tech. Roger retired from Michigan Tech in 1995 after 39 years of service. His positions there included Manager of Operations of the University's Ford Forestry Center and Director of Support Services on the main campus.
He was a consultant to Ford Motor Company, overseeing land and mineral rights of their vast Upper Peninsula holdings.
His community activities included: Lions Club, Board of Bishop Baraga Shrine, Chairman of the Baraga County Memorial Hospital Board, church councils of Holy Cross Lutheran and United Lutheran Churches in Baraga and L'Anse.
In Green Valley, he served as a board member of the Community Water Company and was a member of the Sheriff's Auxiliary Volunteers.
Roger was a member of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Houghton and an associate member of Desert Hills Lutheran Church in Green Valley.
He was preceded in death by parents, Theodore and Esther; stepmother Blossom Rogge; daughter, Diane Rogge; son-in-law, Dennis Martinac; daughter-in-law, Heather Berner; brother, James Froehlig.
He is survived by his wife, Verna; four children and two stepchildren; Mike (Peggy) Rogge, Kay (Riley) McIntyre, Karen Rogge, Sharon Haapala, Kristine (Don) Hagwell and Kevin (Kimmie) Berner; 11 grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and siblings Carol Schumacher, Bill Froehlig, Richard Froehlig; sister-in-law Lois Froehlig.
Roger and Verna traveled the country in their motorhome with at least one to four cats and dogs along for the ride.
Many of their trips took them to quilt shows from California to Wisconsin where they displayed and sold quilt hangers made by Roger and quilts made by Verna.
Roger was an avid outdoorsman, an early advocate of forests being a renewable resource, and a student and proponent of water issues in southwest Arizona.
His quick wit, storytelling, intellect and great sense of humor was enjoyed by all who knew him. He will be greatly missed by his family and many friends in the Upper Peninsula and Green Valley.
The stories of "packing heat," legendary four-wheel drive club trips and related stops in Arivaca will live on.
A memorial service will be held Friday, April 5, at 11 a.m. at Desert Hills Lutheran Church in Green Valley. Lunch will be served following the service.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to Desert Hills Lutheran Church, 2150 S. Camino del Sol, Green Valley AZ 85622.

The new breed of affordable personal computers that are mostly intended for Internet browsing and email usage lacks a lot of capabilities that were sacrificed to trim power consumption. But graphics chip designer S3 hopes that its new Chrome 400 ULP-series graphics processing units (GPUs) will enable a true multimedia experience on such PCs.
S3 Graphics, a wholly owned subsidiary of Via Technologies, on Wednesday announced the world's first graphics processing units designed for ultra-portable personal computers, such as netbooks, mobile Internet devices (MIDs) or ultra-mobile PCs (UMPCs), that support hardware decoding of high-definition video in addition to Microsoft Windows Vista Aero user interface and DirectX 10.1 support.
"S3 Graphics can now deliver a superior mobile visual experience that users will soon demand on all mini-note and mobile products. Our latest Chrome 400 ULP series processors offer manufacturers a mobile graphics component that's long overdue; a truly power-efficient mobile GPU that really performs," said Dr. Ken Weng, general manager of S3 Graphics.
Modern portable computers usually feature low-performance graphics processing cores integrated into core-logic sets that usually do not support either hardware-accelerated video playback or feature proper speed even for simplistic games. The sacrifice of graphics processing capabilities is a direct result of continuous attempts to reduce power consumption and prolong battery life, but without rich multimedia features end-user experience may suffer.
S3 Graphics Chrome 400 ULP processors support latest Microsoft DirectX 10.1 application programming interface (API) as well as hardware-accelerated decoding of high-definition content encoded using MPEG2-HD, VC-1, H.264 or WMV-HD codecs amid thermal design power of just 7W. But while the breed of features seems to be interesting, the actual success of S3 Chrome 400-series ultra low power (ULP) GPUs is under a question mark.
Ultra portable computers are usually not used for gaming or watching high-def videos: they have small screens and do not feature optical disc drives so that to install a modern game or insert a movie on Blu-ray disc.
Still, some may take advantage of hardware-accelerated video decoding since many trailers or clips are now available in high-definition. Perhaps, some may even attempt to try downloading a DirectX 10 game demo on a "mini note", however, since virtually all DirectX 10 titles are made in close collaboration between game developer and GPU designers, the vast majority of games may not work properly with an S3 hardware since the company usually tweaks drivers for its chips after the title is released to the market.
S3 Graphics said that Fujitsu plans to adopt the Chrome 400 ULP GPUs for its portable computers.

Although many criticize Nokia's Symbian operating system today, recent quarter's €3 billion revenue drop and €1.3 billion loss clearly point to the fact that the transition to Windows Phone was a mistake. A former executive from Nokia claims that the current chief exec of the company lacks vision and Nokia should have stuck to its own platforms, e.g., MeeGo to realize its potential.
"Stephen Elop has not delivered a roadmap. He has been there for two to three years and there's really no roadmap. There's no overarching vision for this company. [...] Elop is operating like a chief financial officer - CFOs are very practical, always looking at costs, always internally focused. I do not think he is really projecting anything forward or sitting around with his team imaging what the future looks like. I think it is 's**t how do I get rid of a third of this overhead in R&D?'," said Lee Williams, a former senior vice president of Nokia in charge of Symbian, in an interview with Cnet UK web-site.
While Mr. Williams admits that Nokia was executing poorly in the late '00s, it was on the fundamentally right direction: it had very popular Symbian platform (which managed to outsell Apple iOS even in Q1 2011) and it was developing MeeGo platform that could rival both Apple iOS and Google Android on flagship devices.
But Stephen Elop, the current CEO of Nokia, decided to pre-announce transition from Symbian to Windows Phone, which dropped sales of Symbian-based devices immediately, and cancel all the works on the MeeGo operating system. While two or three Windows Phone-based models might make sense for Nokia, putting all eggs into the basket of one OS that had failed to become popular, was a rather controversial decision. In fact, with about two million life-to-date shipments of all Nokia Lumia WP 7.5-based smartphones, it is clear that the decision was more than just controversial.
"When I was at Nokia and we shipped a Symbian product and it was bad, in its worst incarnation we knew that if we just flipped the switch, we could move 2.5 to 3 million units overnight, no matter how bad the product. That was Nokia. That was Nokia's brand, we knew we could count on that. Now look at it: they flipped the switch and oh, 200 thousand [Windows Phone] units out of the gate. Huh? Only selling in the US, under AT&T's moniker. If you cannot flip the switch like that, Nokia's dead and devalued," claims Mr. Williams.
One operating system does not serve well on tens or hundreds of devices. Therefore, there is no right decision when choosing between Android, MeeGo, Symbian or Windows Phone as a single platform. What matters are two things: great fit of an OS for a particular product and ability to develop unique devices with exclusive differentiators.
Over the years, Nokia has developed many exceptional innovations that could become major unique features for its phones. However, with a third-party platform, such as Google Android or Microsoft Windows Phone, this cannot be done. For example great Nokia's photo capabilities cannot be realized under Windows Phone.
"The 'in house' software and expertise Nokia had and in some cases still have, created differentiators, and features that needed better market presence, and they needed to realise the benefits of a true ecosystem of software and service providers. Android is not and I do not believe will be the answer to this situation for Nokia. [...] Now they have a Windows Phone product, and the differentiators are nonexistent, the battery life is orders of magnitude behind their other products, and the best imaging or camera features are not able to be fully realized leveraging the Windows Phone code," stressed the former Nokia executive.
All-in-all, Mr. Elop will have from six to twelve months to return Nokia onto the course of own software, according to Mr. Lee. However, the company might have to get rid of certain divisions to stay alive...
"I'm confident they will be able to course correct and that they have the kind of assets and talent left to be able to do something here. I don't see them going out in a firesale. I think what will happen is they'll sell off some divisions, and/or will simply gut leadership quickly and change course a little bit, back in the direction of where they were going," concluded Lee Williams.

Pope John Paul II
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Rick Norlock Northumberland—Quinte West, ON
Mr. Speaker, the House will agree that Pope John Paul II inspired us all through his selfless example. His contributions will be felt for generations.
He reached out to all faiths with humility and sincerity. In Israel he began his speech with a salutation to his "older brothers", bridging the understanding between Catholic and older Jewish faiths. He was instrumental in defeating communism and in bringing democracy back not only to his native Poland but to an eastern Europe long held in chains.
He valued youth and created World Youth Day to bring kids of all faiths together in common understanding and common purpose. He was committed to defending the human rights of all faiths, cultures and traditions. That is why he was so admired by Canadians, because he was a champion for all.
I would like to express my full support for the current efforts in Ontario to name every April 2 Pope John Paul II Day in Canada.
International Day Against Homophobia
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Rob Oliphant Don Valley West, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize that May 17 is the International Day Against Homophobia. This day causes us to celebrate the human rights Canadians enjoy and to reflect on the tremendous challenges facing gay and lesbian people around the world.
The UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights declares that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. In Canada, this is lived out through our Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Few of the world's citizens enjoy the privileges Canadians enjoy living with: equality, dignity and the guarantee of inalienable human rights. In many countries of the world, same sex relationships are forbidden and punishable under law. In Canada, gay and lesbian people still suffer from misunderstanding and discrimination, but human rights have been won incrementally.
Yesterday marked the 40th anniversary of the decriminalization of homosexuality in Canada, thanks to the tremendous courage, passion and strength of then prime minister Pierre Trudeau.
Let us today commit ourselves to promoting the same human rights throughout the world by continuing to lead by example.
Firearms Registry
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Randy Kamp Pitt Meadows—Maple Ridge—Mission, BC
Mr. Speaker, the NDP members do not want some people to have access to guns, but the people they are trying to keep away from guns are hunters and farmers, not urban gang members. Recently, the NDP members were either missing in action when it came time to vote on the long gun registry or fell in line behind their big city leader.
In this place, the member for Thunder Bay—Rainy River said, "for eight years since the turn of the century, my constituents have told me that we need to get rid of the long gun registry". Then there is the member for Timmins—James Bay, who criticized the registry, saying, "It was never set up to deal with the realities of northern Ontario". The member for Winnipeg Centre said, "I wouldn't want one more penny to go to that gun registry". They voted in favour of the registry.
How can members of the NDP say they will vote against something and then sit on their hands or oppose it? How can they say they are standing up for their constituents when they seem to forget where they stand on the gun registry?
Their constituents should see how the NDP members behave when in Ottawa. They want to punish farmers and hunters, not the criminals. However, that is what one does when one is a member of the soft on crime NDP.
General Motors
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Malcolm Allen Welland, ON
Mr. Speaker, yesterday we witnessed the closure of the GM truck plant in Oshawa. Canadians mourn the end of almost a century of truck making in the region. Our thoughts and hearts go out to the workers and their families.
The closing of the award-winning facility that produced the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra will affect thousands of workers and their families, further impacting an already devastated industry and the communities. It is a tragic irony that what was originally a Canadian company established by Sam McLaughlin would be taken over by Americans only to have those jobs and production shifted to Mexico.
My NDP colleagues and I will continue to speak up for auto workers and their families in Oshawa, in my community and throughout Canada. We will continue to press the government for immediate, meaningful and long-term action to help preserve a vital Canadian industry.
Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Sylvie Boucher Beauport—Limoilou, QC
Mr. Speaker, over the years, if not the last few weeks, the Liberal leader has praised Liberal-style taxation. He wants to raise taxes. He wants to increase Liberal-style taxation. The Liberal leader must now answer to legitimate questions from Canadians, as well as my questions.
Which taxes does he want to raise? Does he want to raise income taxes, as well? How does he want to raise them? What portion of the population will bear the brunt of these tax increases?
The more closely we look at the Liberal platform on taxes, the more we find percentages creeping up.
Does he want to raise the GST to 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%? Are people going to see their entire salary eaten up?
He does not want to answer these questions.
We, the Conservatives, have lowered taxes for Canadians. We are proud of that, and we will never allow the Liberal leader to eliminate the progress we have made.

Mr. Speaker, the United Kingdom's Royal Philharmonic Society honoured young Montreal conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin with the Young Artists Award, describing him as "one of the most influential personalities in London's musical life". This organization recognizes the most dazzling performances of classical music.
This distinction is one of many impressive accomplishments for the man who has been the musical director of the Orchestre Métropolitain du Grand Montréal since 2000. He is currently the principal conductor of the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra and the guest conductor of the London Philharmonic Orchestra. This month he will make his debut at New York's Metropolitan Opera and Milan's La Scala.
He has quickly built a solid reputation around the world with his combination of rigour, originality and passion. He does not hesitate to work with popular artists in order to make classical music accessible to the people, as was the case at the 2007 Montreal FrancoFolies with Pierre Lapointe.
The Bloc Québécois warmly congratulates this homegrown conductor who has a truly promising future ahead of him.
Canadian Paraplegic Association

Martha Hall Findlay Willowdale, ON
Mr. Speaker, how high are the buttons in the elevators on the Hill? Is it possible for one to balance a cup of coffee on one's lap while wheeling from one side of the room to another? How long does it take to get from finance committee in Centre Block to operations and estimates in West Block if one cannot take the stairs or run?
These were the kinds of situations I had to deal with on May 7 when I joined 10 other members and senators for a national awareness day for the Canadian Paraplegic Association. I spent the whole day in a wheelchair.
It was an incredible and eye-opening experience. It was eye opening for those of us in chairs and I hope it was also eye opening for many other observers. Ultimately, we were the lucky ones, able to get back up on our feet at the end of the day.
I would like to express my respect and admiration for all those who cannot walk and who face these challenges every day.
I urge members of the House and Senate from all parties to take part in the day next year, as the Canadian Paraplegic Association aims to have 65 members participate to celebrate its 65th anniversary.

Mr. Speaker, during the recession when the Conservative government is focused on an economic action plan that will create jobs, the Liberal Party is focused on increasing taxes. The Liberal leader himself said quite bluntly, "We will have to raise taxes".
The Liberal Party supports a job-killing carbon tax, and members of the Liberal Party said that they would raise the GST. In fact, the leader of the Liberal Party even refers to himself as a tax and spend Liberal.
Raising taxes is the absolute worst thing to do during a recession. The Liberals should come clean and tell Canadians what other taxes they want to increase. They should tell Canadians who is going to pay these taxes and how much they are going to have to pay.

Oral Questions

Denis Coderre Bourassa, QC
Mr. Speaker, representatives from Quebec municipalities are currently meeting in Gatineau as part of the annual meeting of the Union des municipalities du Québec, also known as the UMQ. The president of the UMQ and mayor of Maniwaki, Robert Coulombe, was very clear when he said that he has yet to see any major projects started under the emergency infrastructure fund promised to stimulate the economy.
Yesterday, the Prime Minister had the nerve to blame the Quebec government instead of taking responsibility.
What is the government waiting for to get the money flowing and to get people working? Why is the Conservative government penalizing Quebeckers?
The Economy
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
Rob Merrifield Minister of State (Transport)
Mr. Speaker, we are working with the municipalities and the provinces right across the country, including Quebec, on this specific announcement. Some of the provinces are ahead of other provinces. For example, British Columbia has 140 projects, Nova Scotia has 26 projects and Newfoundland and Labrador has 22. They have all been green lighted, are ready to go and some are actually going. The hard hats are on and the digging has begun.
However, the House will find out exactly what is happening in our June report card. I ask my hon. colleague to just wait on that.
The Economy
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
Denis Coderre Bourassa, QC
Mr. Speaker, are you familiar with the Pinocchio syndrome? We just witnessed it in action.
The Conservatives should have understood that stimulating the economy means investing and not causing problems. Here are the real reasons. First, the government refuses to finance the infrastructure projects that the Quebec government had already undertaken. Second, the federal government insists on analyzing projects that fall under the sole jurisdiction of the provinces, which is unnecessary. Third, Quebec will have to reimburse the money already spent if the project is not completed by March 31, 2011.
Instead of blaming others and bickering, why does the Prime Minister not order that the money be released immediately?
The Economy
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
Rob Merrifield Minister of State (Transport)
Mr. Speaker, as I said, we are working very closely with the provinces and municipalities right across the country. We will get the job done. My hon. colleague should just relax a little bit while we get this money out at an unprecedented rate right across this country. We need to get Canadians working and good projects actually happening so we can compete internationally and continentally when this is over.
My hon. colleague should wait for the report card in June before he criticizes this government.
The Economy
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
Denis Coderre Bourassa, QC
Mr. Speaker, he should tell that to the mayors in the gallery here today. It is unacceptable that they are being told to wait and wait.
Instead of playing the blaming game, the Prime Minister should immediately tell his officials that Quebec is ready and that they should send the money for infrastructure ASAP.
Municipalities want to be full partners and are ready now to be part of the solution against recession. Stimulus means investment, not confrontation.
Will the Prime Minister instruct his minister and his officials to deliver the money for infrastructure in Quebec now?
The Economy
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
Rob Merrifield Minister of State (Transport)
Mr. Speaker, we have doubled the gas tax. We have advanced that three months earlier. Municipalities right across the country have the ability to get their infrastructure projects working.
We are working very closely with all the provinces to get these up and going and out the door at an unprecedented rate.
It has been 45 days since the budget was passed. My hon. colleague should give us the first 100 days before he starts criticizing.
Aerospace Industry
Oral Questions
May 15th, 2009 / 11:15 a.m.
Marc Garneau Westmount—Ville-Marie, QC
Mr. Speaker, CAE has just announced that it is laying off 700 employees, including 600 in the Montreal area. These layoffs are in addition to the job losses at Bombardier, Pratt & Whitney and other aerospace companies. The Canadian aerospace industry is the fourth largest in the world, and half of that industry is located in Quebec. In fact, the aerospace industry is to Quebec what the auto industry is to Ontario.
What do the Conservatives intend to do for the aerospace sector?

Oak Park's Gang Prevention/Intervention Program Demonstrates Its Effectiveness
The street gang problem was just beginning to emerge in Oak Park and neighboring River Forest when the Gang Prevention/Intervention Program was created in 1995. While no particular gangs had "claimed" Oak Park or River Forest as territory, several violent incidents had been attributed to gangs, and in August 1995 the community had its first -- and so far, only -- drive-by shooting. This incident, which occurred at a junior high school, was followed by the gang-related beating and subsequent death of a teenager a few blocks away.
Broad Intergovernmental Agreement
A Drug and Gang Task Force formed in 1993 includes representatives of the local school districts, churches, service agencies, the youth township, civic organizations, and the Village of Oak Park's Community Relations Department. As a group they represent 22 governmental and private sector entities within Oak Park and River Forest and include 11 separate local taxing bodies. Within a month of August's violent events, these taxing bodies -- including village and township governments, school districts, park districts and public library districts which serve Oak Park and River Forest -- held their first intergovernmental meeting. In it, two members of the Task Force presented a detailed plan to address the emerging gang activity. The same two members worked with several volunteers, including police officers, members of the clergy, board members, parents and youth, to conduct interventions with everyone involved in the shooting and beating incidents -- approximately 24 young people and their families. The Task Force itself held a series of meetings to educate residents, particularly parents of teens, on gang presence and warning signs, and published a gang awareness booklet.
The Interventionists
The intergovernmental initiative produced an agreement which authorized the pooling of funds by the 11 bodies to support the hiring, in August 1996, of two full-time interventionists to work with young people and their families. Trained and supervised by Oak Park Township Youth Services, an agency which provides a variety of programs and services for young people, the interventionists' mission is to intervene directly in the lives of school-age teens suspected of gang involvement, confront their anti-social behavior, and identify alternative activities appropriate to their needs. Local school administrators and police departments refer students they have identified as being at high risk for joining gangs. Reasons for referral range from weapons possession and defacing property with gang graffiti to battery or assault charges stemming from a gang-related confrontation. Once arrested, individuals are automatically referred to the program by the police. Additionally, through an arrangement with the Cook County Juvenile Probation Department, juvenile court judges mandate participation in the program as a condition of probation.
The interventionists' responsibilities cover:
Crisis Intervention. The interventionists have worked hard to build trusting relationships with teens who are at risk and often are the first to learn of an impending violent situation or of a student who may be fighting or displaying weapons, gang signals or colors. In these cases, the staff intervenes directly with the participants or calls in a crisis team. Program leaders report that this approach has averted dozens of potentially violent incidents in the last year alone. The interventionists also respond to school officials needing assistance with crises related to gangs and school violence.
Identification of Pertinent Issues. The interventionists meet with targeted young people and their family members, and bring in professional counselors when needed, to identify issues that have triggered anti-social behavior. These can include a variety of core problems such as alienation from school, drug use within the family, and the lack of parental supervision.
Identification of Appropriate Services. The interventionists work with the community's network of social service agencies to identify the most appropriate services to meet the needs of the targeted youth and his or her entire family. They then bring together the resources required to address individual and family issues, including parenting skills, conflict resolution, job training and substance abuse counseling. Finally, they continue to track the youth and their families through the communities' various support systems.
The Results
Local officials have seen a reduction in the number of gang-related incidents reported to the police since the program's inception and credit the program's deterrent effect on the at-risk teens who have been referred to the interventionists. In 1995, there were 14 gang-related incidents, including the drive-by shooting. Incidents dropped to two in 1996, two in 1997, and to just one in1998. And juvenile crime overall has been reduced from year to year: Between 1997 and 1998, juvenile arrests dropped 27 percent.
To date, the interventionists have handled 90 cases, nearly all of which involve several family members in addition to the youth, and up to 18 community agencies, organizations, schools or volunteers. Through their experience they have identified several factors common to the cases, in particular: the lack of a stable, supervising adult presence in the youths' lives; involvement with a negative peer group; and substance abuse by the individual or within the family. To be effective, they believe, it is necessary to address the needs of the entire family, to go beyond the school environment, and to achieve early intervention through a variety of institutions -- many of them outside of law enforcement, such as social service agencies and support systems. They advise that law enforcement agencies must play a leadership role, working with schools to assure that a continuum of needed resources is available. Finally, they believe the program has demonstrated that violence prevention must become an intrinsic part of the regular school curriculum, and that resources must be made available to support violence prevention efforts that begin early in a child's life.
The original intergovernmental agreement creating the intervention/ prevention program covered a two-year period. It was renewed in 1998 with a third interventionist -- one with expertise in substance abuse and its link to youth violence -- being added. To supplement its local support, the program was recently awarded funds by the Illinois Violence Prevention Authority, Department of Human Services, and Criminal Justice Authority.
Says Oak Park's Village President Barbara Furlong, "I'm excited by the concept of the program, thrilled that it is working, and proud that everyone, including taxing bodies in Oak Park and River Forest, pulled together to make it happen."

This cold weather is making me think very wistfully of last November when I spent 12 days in Malaysia and Singapore. It was HOT there!
Two of us from the Butterfly Center went to Penang, Malaysia, to attend the biannual conference of the "International Association of Butterfly Exhibitors and Suppliers" (IABES) – which is, as the name suggests, an organization of live butterfly exhibits from around the world, as well as the businesses that supply us with butterflies. The Cockrell Butterfly Center has been an IABES member since 199?, and I currently serve on the board. Economic hard times meant fewer attendees in 2009 than were at the 2007 meeting in Ecuador; however, there were representatives from about 25 organizations. It is truly an international group, with participants from North America, South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia.
Having the chance to share ideas and problems with our international counterparts at these meetings is a big draw, but so is the opportunity to see a new part of the world. I had never been to Malaysia and was eager to learn more about it.
In case your geography is shaky, Malaysia is in Southeast Asia, south of Thailand and north of Indonesia. Peninsula Malaysia is separated from Malaysian Borneo by the South China Sea. Penang is a large island off the northwest coast of Malaysia – its main city is Georgetown. Since parts of Malaysia were under British rule from the late 1700s until 1957, English is widely spoken, and most signs use the Roman alphabet (or Latin alphabet), which made it easy to get around. While primarily Moslem, Malaysia is very multicultural and tolerant of many religions – in Penang we encountered mosques, Christian churches, Buddhist, Hindu and Taoist temples, all within a block or two of one another. Racially speaking, the native Malays are basically Indonesians, but other large ethnic groups include Chinese and Hindus (i.e., people from India).
Things I didn't expect – how modern and industrial Penang was (and we didn't get to Kuala Lumpur, which is even more modern). There are lots of cars and lots of motorcycles. There are also many interesting colonial buildings in the city center – and as mentioned, places of worship of almost any religion you'd care to name. There are also fun street markets with exotic fruit and vegetables and lots of seafood and weird things like black-skinned chickens.
I love to eat and to try new things – and eating seemed to be a national pastime. Every morning our host took us to a different warren of "hawker" stalls, small open-air places serving their own specialty, whether spicy noodles or soup, Chinese style roast pork or duck, Indian food, or even pizza, hamburgers or French toast. Most of our breakfasts consisted of noodles in a more or less spicy broth with a variety of toppings (including cubes of congealed chicken blood, the only thing that I didn't particularly relish). One day we went for dim sum (yummy Chinese dumplings, chicken and duck feet in sauce). For dinner, we hit the hawker stalls again, or a Chinese restaurant, and a couple of times tried the "Steamboat" arenas which seem to be very popular with the locals. The "Steamboat" is a big pot of steaming hot broth in the center of the table, into which you put your selection of meats, seafood, and vegetables, pulling them out as they are cooked.
We snacked on a number of exotic fruits sold on street corners and in markets. Jackfruit (related to mulberries and figs) is shaped like a huge green knobby oblong sort of ball. Inside, large chunks of yellow or orangish flesh, which is sweet and tastes sort of like a combination of banana and pineapple (or maybe those tropical banana-pineapple lifesavers), are packed into white, inedible flesh. Not bad, but I found it cloying after a couple of pieces.
I preferred rambutan, a weird-looking fruit resembling reddish sea urchins that is closely related to litches. The pearl-colored, eyeball-sized and shaped fruit inside the rind is sweet and tart, and surrounds a good-sized seed.
And then, of course, there is durian, infamous fruit of the Asian tropics. Durians are not quite as big as jackfruits (and not related), perhaps up to a foot long and almost as wide, and are covered with large spines. You have to cut them open to get to the delicacy inside. It's definitely an acquired taste – the sweet (to me, overly sweet) whitish flesh has a penetrating smell that has been variously described as rotting meat, or feces, or … you get the picture. The locals love this fruit – and it is not cheap. Apparently it is also a favorite food of orangutans. However, perhaps catering to delicate North American and European noses, many Malaysian hotels forbid guests from eating durian in their rooms!
Far and away my favorite of all tropical fruits is the mangosteen. Despite the name they are not anything like mangos. Mangosteens are very hard to find in the New World (I saw them in Panama once), and can only be found "in season" in their native Southeast Asia. From the outside they look sort of like a purple persimmon. But breaking open the thick purple rind you find what looks like the segments of a white tangerine inside. Delicious!!! I'm not sure how I'd describe the taste – sort of a cross between strawberries and pineapple but milder. Just the right combination of sweet and tart and juicy. Mmmm! My mouth is watering just thinking about them. Too bad it will mean another trip to Southeast Asia before I get to enjoy them again :- (
I seem to have gotten sidetracked by the edible side of Malaysia. In my next blog I'll talk a bit more about the natural history, and about the fabulous city of Singapore!

We've lost three straight, and five of six. Throw out The Miracle Comeback at Brookline in 1999, and we haven't beat the Euros since 1993.
Finally, at the spurring of Captain Paul Azinger, the American point system and selection process was tweaked to more of a "what have you done for me lately" system. In 2006, guys like JJ Henry, Vaughn Taylor, and Brett Wetterich made the team due to wins in the spring/early summer, then hung on to get the last couple automatic berths, even though they were playing like shit once September rolled around. We had no chance.
Also, 'Zinger gets four Captains picks now instead of the previous two. Top 8 points qualifiers make it instead of the top 10. Also, 'Zinger gets to make his picks two weeks later than normal to make sure he's really got the hottest golfers.
The changes should help. They can't hurt.
As dominant as he is in stroke play events, not having Tiger really doesn't worry me. He's 10-13-2 in his Ryder Cup career, and most of those ten wins are in the Sunday individual matches. He's been downright bad on Friday and Saturday at this event.
As it stands now, we got four guys locked in ...
Phil Mickelson
Stewart Cink
Kenny Perry
Jim Furyk
The last four auto qualifier spots right now are ...
Justin Leonard
Boo Weekley
Anthony Kim
Woody Austin
Spots about 5 through 15 are real tight though. Guys on the cusp right now are ...
Brandt Snedeker
Steve Stricker
DJ Trahan
Hunter Mahan
Zach Johnson
Jeff Quinney
Rocco Mediate
JB Holmes
But outside of his automatic qualifies, Zinger has said repeatedly he's not even going to look at points. He wants the hottest golfers on Sept 2 when he has to decide. He's said he'd take a guy from the Nationwide Tour if he's won 3 of four tourneys going in. He also said he's going to consult with his eight auto qualifiers. While having the 12 best will be the goal, Zinger also said he doesn't want any guys there that people on the team don't want to play with for personality reasons.
If its my call, today, I go with ...
Phil Mickelson
Stewart Cink
Kenny Perry
Jim Furyk
Justin Leonard
Boo Weekley
Anthony Kim
Woody Austin
Zach Johnson - One of the bright spots in '06. Great under pressure. Gritty.
Rocco Mediate - Infectous attitude. Hitting the ball as well as he has in his life. Just went through as grueling a pressure situation as you can individually, and thrived.
Bubba Watson - The big bomber is playing well, US always shys away from picking these types, the young guys that hit the ball three miles.
Chris DiMarco - Buried on the money and points lists because a shoulder surgery put him on the shelf, but DiMarco has been the heart and soul of past American Ryder and Presidents Cup teams. Starting to finally play like his old self again.
Also would consider Steve Stricker, Brandt Snedeker, Hunter Mahan, Jeff Quinney, Sean O'Hair, Ryan Moore, Scott Verplank, and David Toms.
One of my favorite sporting events of the year. Back on our soil at Valhalla, a Nicklaus design in Kentucky. Hopefully we can get it done this year.

**edit: Perhaps as readership expands beyond an email list, perhaps I should advertise the Happy Hour location. A personal fav, the Cheers! of downtown Dallas residents: City Tavern.
Yes, Lindsay gets it!
For this BIZARRO BEER FRIDAY, we'll take a tour to an example of what happens when pegging goals/actions to meaningless, abstract statistics such as GDP; the blind creation of unnecessary infrastructure and the epitome of overly centralized planning and development. The opposite of a favela, if you will.
Lacking understanding of emergent nature of cities and the economic foundation underpinning population demand driven evolution.
Not wholly unlike the creation of edge cities in the US decades ago a la Las Colinas - of course, people had to go bankrupt first, and somebody will do so here as well.
Creating an architect's fantasy land, a clean slate, a blank canvas for ahem
I'd show more, but I'm afraid you may have seen them plastering every page of architectural record since a google image search of the city turns up a smorgasbord of unbuilt architectural portraiture, ignorant of all/any context, the type of humanizing and participatory complexity of urbanity. But of course, there is no context. Next stop, city building in Siberia!
ZOMG! Behold our masterpiece of arbitrary geometric shapes!
The world will know thy name!
In the end, it is too rightly ordered, too overly masterplanned to ever be usable in its current form.

Understanding Flat Networks
The traditional tiered network design is a staple of today's LAN and data center networks. However, this design has limitations caused in part by Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), which restricts the number of paths that traffic can take through the network. That restriction can affect performance and reliability requirements that are emerging because of virtualization and other factors, such as the convergence of storage and data networks.
An alternative network design, called a flat network or a fabric, is now available to IT. A flat network opens more paths and can increase available bandwidth. Flat network options include both standards-based approaches, such as TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links) and SPB (Shortest Path Bridging), as well as proprietary vendor approaches. All these approaches address shortcomings of STP and can make a data center network more flexible and responsive to the changing demands of highly virtualized environments.
However, a flat network also has its downsides, including the need to rearchitect the LAN. Depending on the approach that IT takes to a flat network, it may also require new gear; for instance, TRILL will likely require hardware upgrades because it uses a new frame type that has to be added to the standard Ethernet frame. Meanwhile, the proprietary approaches will lock IT to a single vendor.
This report examines the limitations of tiered networks and STP, explains the alternatives that allow IT to build a flat network, outlines potential downsides of this new approach, and offers guidance to help IT determine whether a flat network is a fit. (S4070212)

Hey rhinoass, that piece is a crock of shit. First Clemens was not traded to Toronto. The Red Sox chose to not sign him. Then had the nerve to say he was in the twilight of his career. So after working his ass off, as he has his entire life, he came back to prove Boston wrong.
From 1993 to 1996, Clemens was 40-39. His ERA was 3.78 in those years. The AL ERA was over 5 in that same stretch, so I guess he was still pretty good. Over those 4 years, Clemens pitched 743 innings and struck out 717 batters. Pretty solid numbers if you ask me. In his last year in Boston, he went 10-13, but that was probably not his fault. In 34 starts, he threw 6 complete games and 2 shutouts. He threw 242 innings and struck out 257. Obviously washed up.
Did he battle through some injuries in that time? Yes he did, and that is why he did not strike out over 200 guys during those 3 years.
His last season in Boston, he struck out 257. His first year in Toronto he struck out 292, not the 226 you incorrectly stated.
In 2 of those years, 1994 and 1996, he finished 2nd and 7th in the AL in ERA.
1994 he allowed the fewest hits per inning in the AL. In '96, he was second.
1994, he finished 2nd in k's/9 innings
1996, he was first in k's/9 innings.
1994 finished 2nd in total strikeouts.
1996 finished first.
If you are really going to write something like that, please use the proper facts.

Beating cancer together
Livestrong, a free 12-week program designed for cancer survivors, began at the Warren County YMCA in September. Local YMCA staff traveled to the National Y for training.
The pilot program attendees are more than half way through their program and have participated in strength training and cardio workouts. They also have enjoyed a variety of classes including yoga, bouncing for fitness, zumba, table tennis and drumming. They will finish their last weeks of the program with crafts, nutritional talks with Warren Chiropractic Care Center and a massage.
The Warren YMCA, with the assistance of the Warren General Hospital Cancer Care Center, has – through the Livestrong program – reached out to the community of Warren to bring together those affected by cancer. Through Livestrong, many resources are made available to cancer survivors locally and through hundreds of contacts made through the Livestrong research and information site.
Livestrong at the Y is not only for those who are at the end of their cancer treatment but also for people who are recently diagnosed. There is no reason to struggle with questions and concerns that take time and energy. Many have traveled that road and have logged the information on treatment, advice, financial assistance and more.
There are camps for children who have experienced the journey of a parent with cancer. There is a database called Immerman Angels that is free for cancer survivors. This site will match a cancer survivor with someone the same age, the same gender and the same cancer to talk to and help understand what they are going through.
The support is there; the technology is there; and the research is there to help cancer survivors with health care choices. Livestrong at YMCA also has pamphlets and journals for survivors to use to track their treatment and more. If you or someone you know is a cancer survivor, register to participate in the Y's 12 week program and heal with Livestrong at the YMCA.

Research Summary
The dynamics and logic of neuro-glio-vascular interactions in health and diseaseThe overall goal of our laboratory is to uncover rules that govern the complex interactions between all brain cell types in their unperturbed in vivo environment and to determine how these dynamic cell-cell interactions are disrupted in a variety of disease states.We utilize high-resolution cellular imaging in vivo and fixed tissues of single cells and small clusters of interacting cells combined with novel optical sensors of cellular physiology, optogenetics, chemogenetics, genome editing techniques and methods that we develop for improving the capacity to visualize and manipulate individual cells in their native environment. Our approach tends to be exploratory and hypothesis generating and thus, our results can take us in different directions such that projects in the lab can have a neuronal, glial or vascular focus and may be directed towards understanding normal physiology or neuropathology.
Extensive Research Description
- IN VIVO IMAGING:The majority of projects in the laboratory are imaging-oriented. We use a variety of techniques including transcranial in vivo two photon microscopy, high-resolution confocal, spectral confocal reflectance microscopy (SCoRe) and electron microscopy in combination with differential fluorescent cell labeling and genetic/pharmacological manipulations. We aim at developeing novel imaging strategies and methods to better understand the pathophysiology of a variety of neurological disorders.
- "NEURO-GLIO-VASCULAR UNIT" FUNCTION AND PATHOLOGY: Understanding the postnatal development and pathology of neuro-glio-vascualr interactions, neurovascular coupling, tissue oxygenation. Astrocyte physiology.
- MICROVASCULAR PLASTICITY: microvascular recanalization and angioplasticity after cerebral embolic occlusion. We have recently described a new mechanism of microvascular plasticity which leads to vessel recanalization (Angiophagy). We are investigating the molecular control and physiological relevance of this novel mechanism.
- AXONAL AND SYNAPTIC DEGENERATION/REGENERATION: We have recently developed a method for imaging myelinated axons in vivo (Spectral confocal reflectance microscopy SCoRe), which we are currently using to explore questions related to myelin's role in degeneration and regeneration.
- ALZHEIMER"S DISEAESE: understanding the dynamics of neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's disease. We study the interactions between microglia, neurons and amyloid plaques to understand the sequence of events leading to neural dysfunction in AD.

�Chopped� contestant Chris Avtges ditched his �fat is flavor� approach to cooking and lost 140 pounds.
Chris Avtges, 42, keeps a running list on his phone he calls �Stupid Things I Can Do Now That I Lost the Weight.� Some of the items on the list may seem mundane, things the average person might take for granted, but they are small triumphs nonetheless. Being able to hop on an airplane without asking for a seatbelt extension. Changing his video game avatar from a large, round guy to a fit, thin one. Following his two children up the sledding hill without gasping for breath. And then, of course, there are the major things: namely, appearing on a popular Food Network reality cooking show. On May 30, Chris, a food service director from Ellington, Conn., was a competitor on a special weight-loss episode of Chopped, which challenges chefs to a cook-off using surprise�and often odd�ingredients. While he didn�t take home the $10,000 prize, simply competing was a coup for a guy whose 140-pound weight loss gave him a whole new perspective on life. RELATED:�Diabetes-Fighting Secrets From a Former Fat Chef� Chris�s weight loss journey began in 2010. When his son Hunter, 10, was diagnosed with Celiac disease, Chris was forced to reevaluate his �fat is flavor� approach to cooking. �I started to become more aware of what I was putting into our food,� Chris says. �I essentially retrained myself how to cook, finding ways to add flavor without adding fat.� Then, in 2011, Chris was laid off from his job as a food service director in a public school district in Massachusetts, leaving him with more downtime than ever before. �I sat around for a few weeks, thinking �woe is me,�� Chris recalls. �Then my wife and I decided to join the local YMCA.� After a few weeks of exercising and tracking meals on the weight-loss app Lose It!, Chris and his wife, Tabatha, started seeing results. �From day one, we were in it together,� Chris says. �It was a family affair.� Tabatha has multiple sclerosis (MS), a nervous system disease that affects the brain and spinal cord. Since adopting a healthier lifestyle, she has seen a miraculous turnaround in her symptoms. �Prior to this change, her MS was managing her, whereas now she is managing her MS,� says Chris. �Her good days are much more frequent than her bad days. It used to be the other way around.� In many ways, participating on Chopped was the capstone of Chris�s weight-loss journey. Although eliminated in the second round, Chris left the competition with a renewed sense of confidence and self-worth. �For the longest time, being overweight, I struggled with my self-confidence,� he says. �Being on the show has pushed me in a direction I could have not imagined myself taking. People have been coming up and saying my wife and I are inspirational. The more you hear that, the more you start to believe that. That�s worth more than winning.� Chris hopes his story can inspire fellow Americans to transform their lives. �Going into the show, my first goal was to win, but my second goal was to have a good time and take the opportunity to get my story out�to show that the average stereotypical obese American, with some effort and determination, can turn their health around,� he says. Below, Chris shares his top strategies to add flavor without adding fat: Use fresh herbs and boldly flavored vinegars for marinades. Substitute yogurt for or cream or milk when making mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes. ��Grill, grill, grill!!!!!� he says. Instead of thick heavy sauces, use seasoned homemade broths. �I use vegetable base and add enhancements such as lemon grass and ginger to build flavor,� Chris says. Swap ground turkey or chicken for beef in burgers or meatloaf, adding fresh herbs to lean meats to boost flavor. �For meat loaf, I use gluten-free oats instead of breadcrumbs as a binder,� Chris adds. �Don't eat family style,� he says. �Pre-plate and portion your family meals.� Brought to you by: Spry - Healthy Living and Wellness for Women

Calling all my paranoid sisters out there, this gift guide is for you! Don't be bashful, we all get a little nervous at times, and whether it be about our personal safety or personal hygiene or ability to text non-stop. I must admit I've always run a little more on the anxious side, and I like to prepare for a variety of contigencies. If you have someone on your list this holiday season that is paranoid, we've got the most stylish gifts for you to give. And P.S., I don't like to call it paranoid, I call it overly aware!
Ralph Lauren Home Stag Horn Candelabra
$2295.00 - $2995.00 via Ralph Lauren
This is a beautiful candelabra for winter decoration, right? Right. But you know what else it is? A prodding device you can pick up and use if you think someone has broken into your house.
Christian Louboutin Marquise Spiked Clutch
$1,295 via Net-A-Porter
I've always thought Christian Louboutin designed many of his spiked items to double as protective mechanisms. Carry this clutch and you will feel just a little more secure.
Pluggabugg Anti-dust Plug for I-devices

I guess I can't really give this a perfect score because I have the same thoughts on it as I do the Mario one. Well, Donkey Kong's technically a Mario character. I really do love how you design these things. Everything just looks so perfect. His face is what really strikes me.
It seems very Homer Simpson-esque. I think Homer's mouth is modeled after a gorilla anyway. You really can see the little marks on his skin here. Actually, that's kind of gross. Still a wonderful picture.

"Who stole my banana!!!!"
Rated 5 / 5 stars
First off DK is my all time favorite Nintendo character so my opinion will be biased. Otherwise this piece of work is by far some of the best I have ever seen, even DK looks EXACTLY like he should which would be enough for me to like it. But your artistic vision that you plastered on brings an atmosphere that is very exciting to look at, I am in love with this epic and artistic view of Donkey Kong.

Prep softball: Negaunee swept in Mid-Peninsula Conference showdown
NORWAY – From 27 losses to conference champions.
The third-year Norway High School girls softball team, with 4-3 and 8-5 victories over visiting Negaunee Friday, captured its first Mid-Peninsula Conference title.
"I had my hopes set on a split," Knights coach Scott Conery said of his mindset heading into Friday's action. "I thought that would be a huge step for us. To get two was really special."
A Norway team that debuted with a 27-loss season in 2011 has now run its record to 21-6 overall and 9-0 in league play – handing the Miners their first conference losses this season.
In the first game, it was Rachel Conery blasting a three-run home run in the first inning.
The four runs proved to be enough for Ashley Zanon in the circle. Zanon scattered four hits while striking out four, overcoming nine walks.
Norway led 8-0 in game two, thanks to a six-run fourth, when Conery tripled.
The Knights had nine hits while Negaunee got five and scored most of its runs with help from seven walks.
Pitcher Adena Anderson lost in Game 1, while sister Rosalie fell in Game 2.
Ishpeming gets split
At Kingsford, a 5-4 eight-inning loss to host Kingsford left Ishpeming (6-7) with a doubleheader split. In the opener, IHS romped, 13-6.
The Hematites' Gabby Croley hit a two-run homer in the top of the seventh of Game 2 to forge a 4-4 tie.
But Kingsford's Kasey Lee hit a run-scoring single in the bottom of the inning to win.
"We had two runners on in the top of the eighth, but our runner at third tried to steal home and was thrown out," Ishpeming manager Jeremy Thompson said.
Caitlin Korvela, who took the loss in relief, went 3 for 5 and scored a run. Teammate Lindsey Thompson chipped in two hits, including a triple.
In the opener, the Hematites posted 18 hits.
Sinead Korvela went 3 for 3 with a homer and two RBI; Lindsey Thompson turned in a 3-for-5 performance and drove in five runs; and Emily Myers went 3 for 5 and scored three runs.
"Our bats came out and set the pace for the game," manager Thompson said.
