Today we tackle the Green Bay Packers superfans. Like most of you, we are itching for football season to start. In the midst of the dog days of summer, many get sick of baseball and start turning their attention to football. Don't blame you a bit. To help quench your thirst, BC is going on a 32 team, 32 day, 32 gallery tour of NFL cheerleaders & superfans. Get your cheese-heads ready for some incredibly sexy Packers fans.
The Packers have a strange situation with their cheerleaders. From 1986 until 2007, they were without a squad. Currently they employ collegiate cheer squads on game days, but honestly these girls are usually nothing special. A team like Green Bay needs some more support from their ladies on the sidelines.
What they lack in cheerleader talent, they totally make up for with their sexy superfans. Girls love clinging onto successful teams and the Packers are no exception. We'd put their fans up there against any team in the league.
Know Your 2012 Green Bay Packers:
Key Additions: OLB Nick Perry, C Jeff Saturday, DE Anthony Hargrove
Key Losses: QB Matt Flynn, C Scott Wells, S Nick Collins, OT Chad Clifton, RB Ryan Grant
2012 Projected wins (via BeyondTheBets.com): Projected wins: 12.02

excerpts – A Sense of Order and Other Stories
It is another humid night in August, cornfields trembling slightly in a soft Illinois breeze. Trucks and tractors wait in the moonlight like mute, silvery ghosts of their daytime selves. The headlights of Cliff Emerson's Lincoln Town Car cut a momentary path down State Route 130, the countryside rushing past in flashes and silhouettes. Driving this rural two-lane road, Cliff knows it would take a lifetime to count everything he sees, to list the liabilities and assets of each farm and home now sitting parceled and still. There is no way to count it—the men and women and children sleeping or watching late-night TV, afraid of what the darkness reveals. There are too many choices, too many actions, too many wills for everything to fit inside something Cliff can understand. Coming home from a state insurance convention that night with a thirty-year-service medallion in his breast pocket, Cliff thinks about all the people and cars and buildings, hoping it might add up to something in his brain. He wants to know, once and for all, that it has some kind of meaning.
He powers down his window as he passes the Ebenezer Church road and the night air fills the car's air-conditioned interior. The numbness he feels is dull and relentless. He doesn't tell the doctor because there's nothing there the doctor can see. Before the stroke, before this hollowness, he had felt something else: a constant, relaxed assurance that had been there all his life, as buoyant as his own voice on the phone. But on that night in the Emergency Room three months ago, as he lay waiting for the doctor, something left him. A genie escaped its bottle. His wife had her purse on the gurney beside him, digging for a stick of gum when a new wave of dizziness came over him.
"What's happening?" she asked.
He couldn't answer. A blankness filled his closed eyes, a whiteness like death.
"I need the doctor," he finally whispered.
All those years he'd kept risks down, liabilities down, securities and assets on the rise. He'd made a life's work of accounting for things. He could read the actuary tables like a fortune-teller, predicting the possibility of accident, injury, or theft and translating any loss into a solid dollar value, payable upon verification of premiums received. But after that night, he couldn't straighten his accounts. Only days ago he'd sat in the living room of a client, Daniel Earl, the actuary tables spread out before them. "I'll have to get back to you," he finally said to Daniel, knowing he'd just lost a friend and customer of twenty years.
Things hadn't been any better tonight at the convention. In the middle of his acceptance speech, the guys wheeled out a giant cake and two young women in sequined outfits popped out and began dancing. The room erupted in hoots and catcalls. Cliff stood awkwardly at the podium, halting, unable to read the words on the page before him.
"Sorry about that one," Scott Rivers said later, clapping him on the back. "I told those bozos to wait for you to finish."
Gripping the steering wheel now, bracing for a curve, Cliff asks himself a simple question: Finish what? Five miles down the road, he still has no answer.
He passes Higgins' Farm Implements as the lights of a semi come and go. Feeling weary, he slows the car and pulls off onto a gravel spot a few miles down the road where truckers stop to sleep. He sits there with the air conditioner running, his window rolled down, the Lincoln's big motor idling. The digital clock glows a green 11:54 p.m. His wife would be asleep by now, calm and oblivious on her side of their California king-sized bed. He thinks about what the house feels like on nights when he comes home late: silent, orderly, the kitchen lit dimly by a bulb over the stove, the bathroom veiled in the faint glow of a nightlight. He tries for a moment to remember where they got the nightlight, how long they've had it, what color it is. He doesn't want to go home and undress in the dark, get in bed and whisper "It's me" when she awakes uneasily.
He kills the car's engine, steps out onto the gravel, shuts the door. The Lincoln's headlights reach silently into the night. He leans against the car, arms folded, head down. Get back in the car, he thinks. What are you doing? He looks up at the sky, chalky with a thousand stars. He takes off his jacket, tosses it into the open car window, and looks out at the blackness of the cornfield across the road. What is out there in the darkness? A killer in a hockey mask? The Face of God? Maybe nothing at all. The last thought frightens him more than anything else. He walks along the road, his shadow breaking the headlight beam in the distance. God, you know how these feelings hit me. I looked around tonight, I didn't know where I was. The same men, the same jokes. Giving each other awards, nodding at the numbers on the screen. I didn't know them. I didn't know myself.
He sits down on the pavement, loosens his tie. The road's surface is still warm from the heat of the day. The abandon in this action—doing what's never done, sitting in the middle of the highway at midnight—awakens something inside him. He remembers summer nights just like this one, growing up in southern Illinois. Jeff and I used to talk when it was dark and quiet like this. Sneak out our bedroom windows, sit in the middle of the street at midnight, and see how long it took before a car came. What were we then, fourteen years old? He shakes his head and smiles, arms resting on his knees. That one night we were talking about UFOs, Jeff stopped in the middle of his sentence. He pointed behind me with this scared look on his face. I fell for it, big time. For that brief second, before I turned around, it was like breaking through to something. When I turned around, though—nothing.
Lying back on the pavement, resting his head gingerly on the hard surface of the road, Cliff looks up at the sky spread out like black velvet, a thousand diamond stars keeping their secrets. He extends his arms on the pavement. He's an exhausted swimmer floating on the water after a tough race.
Rolling onto his side, he feels the macadam with the soft palm of his hand. Each tiny pebble embedded in the pavement could be its own world, its own universe. His face is there, just above the pavement, close enough to kiss its calloused surface. He can imagine the tiny lumps against his lips, warm and porous. He knows the tar, the tiny stones in the asphalt, the giant paving machine that can lay down a solid sheet of road like a coat of thick black paint. He imagines the men driving the trucks, the massive rollers, the blond woman in faded Levi's and an orange vest lazily holding the SLOW sign. So much to count, he thinks. He slaps the concrete hard; a tingle stings his palm. Any actuary tables for this? He touches the pavement once more, almost caressing it. I know this, I can feel it. It's solid and real. He puts his cheek to the pavement. I shouldn't be doing this. Men don't behave this way.
Then he hears a car. He groans as he rises from the pavement. A new dizziness washes through his head when he walks back to the Lincoln, brushing at his slacks. He reaches for the handle to get in his car, drive home, end this nonsense, illuminated by the lights of the oncoming car as it rushes past—but then there's a blast like a gunshot, followed by the clumpity-clump of a tire disintegrating.
He sees the brake lights of the car as it drifts to the side of the road. Getting in his own car, he slowly drives the hundred yards or so along the edge of the highway, stopping behind a small white Toyota, taillights ablaze. One of the car's tires is still on the edge of the pavement. His headlights shine on two young women inspecting the remnants of their left front tire. One of the girls is a brunette in jeans, the other a blond in sweat pants. They both wear tennis shoes and tee shirts, both have their hair pulled back in ponytails. Cliff can't place where he's seen them before. Daughters of clients, maybe. The blond turns toward him, squinting into the brightness of the headlights.
"The thing just blew up," she says as he walks toward them. "Thank God I didn't wreck!"
"I was asleep," the brunette says. "Scared the hell outta me!"
"You know how to change one of these things?" the blond asks.
Up close they look older, maybe twenty-five. Something like this could happen to his own daughter out on the road, and he would want someone to come along and help. "I'll see what I can do," he says.
He gets his flashlight and hands it to the blond. The spare tire is one of those little donut things under the carpet in the trunk. Cliff moves a box aside to lift the carpet, a box of glittery costumes, the kind dancers wear. He doesn't make the connection at first. "We worked an insurance convention tonight," the brunette says, "a bunch of tight-fisted old men."
Cliff looks up. These are the girls who jumped out of the cake. They don't look at all the same—the heavy makeup washed off, the glittery costumes in the box, the high heels in the back seat somewhere. "They were cheap," the brunette huffs.
"They were nice," the blond counters. She waves the flashlight at Cliff. "Like this guy," she says.
Cliff can't make sense of the way the girls look now—so collegiate—compared to the slinky, catlike way they danced around the cake. "Thanks for stopping," the blond says.
He lifts the donut tire out of its well in the trunk. "Would you grab that tool kit?" he asks. Carrying the tire to the front of the car, he feels a bothersome flutter in his head. But he kneels and positions the jack under the frame. He takes the lug wrench out of the tool kit, slides it into the slot on the jack, and starts turning the crank.
"A car!" the brunette says.
Cliff looks over his shoulder. The oncoming car doesn't slow down. It eases halfway into the next lane and swooshes past.
"Doesn't care about us," the brunette mutters. She walks to the middle of the road and makes a gesture at the car's taillights. "Screw you, bud!" she shouts.
Cliff knows they could all be liable if an accident happened—the car on the edge of the pavement, no flares or triangles on the road, the three of them standing in the traffic lane. Turning the crank of the jack, he thinks, These girls should have pulled over more.
When the front tire is almost off the ground, he puts the wrench to the first lug on the wheel. The nuts are tight, but the first and second finally give way. He stands to take a breath. He can still feel the dizziness in his head, like his right eye is being pulled out of its socket. But the sensation seems familiar and trivial.
He takes in the Toyota at a glance. It's worth $2,000 at most. The blond probably has the minimum 25-50-25 liability. His own car, the Lincoln, is worth $29,000. He's got plenty of insurance, though—$200,000 in accidental, $150,000 group, $100,000 individual. He's got the PLUP too, a million dollars in a Personal Liability Umbrella Policy. If something happened, a sharp lawyer would put Cliff at fault and go after that.
Cliff clenches his teeth, trying to ignore the throb in his right eye. "You all right?" the blond asks. He shakes his head and kneels down, going to work on the third bolt. We're all liable here, he thinks. He puts the wrench on and leans into it. This one's more of a bugger than the first two. "They put these things on with an air gun," he explains.
"You gonna be all right, old guy?" the brunette asks.
Cliff nods, not speaking. The lightness in his head is expansive. He wants to change this tire before something happens. He jerks hard on the wrench. He doesn't understand why he can't get the nut off, why a lug nut can feel like the center of the universe. Everything he's ever known branches out from here, from the wrench in his hand, from the stubborn nut that will not turn, that will not give up its secrets on a humid August night. He leans on the wrench. As the nut gives, it squeaks out the word stroke in a tiny voice. All the symptoms are there, but worse than before. His face and arm go numb. His right eye is two feet out of his head. He drops the wrench, stands and staggers like a drunken man. God, this is it. You know this is it.
He hears the girls cry out as he stumbles backward, his feet tripping ridiculously beneath him. He falls to the center of the opposite lane, his head wrenched to one side. The headlights of an oncoming truck fill his eyes with light. He can account for everything now. A driver named Kent. A semi-truck loaded with soy beans headed for Decatur. Kent's listening to an all-night radio talk show. He wears a beard and a felt cowboy hat, a red band above the rim, a turquoise jewel on the front. Sipping his coffee, he takes his eyes off the road for a second. By the time he sees a man collapsed on the pavement, it's too late. He can't stop himself because he knows it could be him out there some day, an old skunk waiting to be road kill. Eighteen wheels whine as they slide across the pavement. The blond shrieks, pulling Cliff's arm in a vain attempt, but Cliff's dumb with the pain, blinded by new vision.
As the truck twists into a jackknife, Cliff makes an account of it all. The tractor-trailer is old, an owner-operator rig worth less than $20,000. The trucker has $50,000 in property insurance, $300,000 in personal. He'll have a few bruises, a totaled rig, a lifetime of guilt.
The lawyers will go after Cliff's policies. After the settlements between the trucker and the dancers, his wife will still get half a million. He has that much to comfort him as the massive truck moans out one last shrill complaint.
The blond falls backward, just out of the truck's path, and Cliff sits up suddenly, rising like a saint from his coffin. A vague notion strikes him, as light as a poem on a funeral program. He reaches out for the truck that's coming on like the Face of God from across the universe. The body gives way. The bones break. This is knowledge. The rear wheels of the tractor strike him, tossing him a hundred yards into the cornfield. He leaves his body and doesn't look back.
From a dark, Illinois cornfield, Cliff Emerson moves into all the world, except he isn't Cliff anymore and never was, because he's everything. Everything in the mind of God. Everything that's accounted for at every moment. This is real he shouts in a voice like hallelujah. This is finally real.

Would your relatives, if they came to visit you, think that you were
rude if you looked through the privacy peep-hole in your front door
before you opened it after they knocked? That's what caller ID is.

you read the display (peep),
you pick up the receiver and say 'hello' (open the door and say hello)

Washington (AP) — The House has passed a temporary funding measure to keep the government running. The bill is coupled with a tea party-backed measure to block President Obama's new health care law.
The 230 -189 vote sets the stage for a confrontation with the Democratic-led Senate. The Senate promises to strip the "defund Obamacare" provision from the bill next week and will challenge the House to pass it as a straightforward funding bill that Obama will sign.
The White House promises Obama would veto the measure in the unlikely event it reaches him.
At issue is the need to pass a short-term funding bill to prevent a partial government shutdown when the budget year ends on Sept. 30. Washington's longstanding budget stalemate has derailed the annual appropriations bills required to fund federal agency operations.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
The GOP-controlled House moved Friday toward a confrontation with the Senate over President Barack Obama's health care law with a legislative ploy that threatens a government shutdown in a week and a half.
The fight is coming on a stopgap funding measure required to keep the government fully running after the Oct. 1 start of the new budget year. Typically, such measures advance with sweeping bipartisan support, but tea party activists forced GOP leaders to add a provision to cripple the health care law that's the signature accomplishment of Obama's first term.
The top Senate Democrat has pronounced the bill dead and calls the House exercise a "waste of time." The White House has issued a veto threat.
The fight over the must-do funding bill comes as Washington is bracing for an even bigger battle over increasing the government's borrowing cap to make sure the government can pay its bills. Democrats say they won't be held hostage and allow Republicans to use the must-pass measures as leverage to win legislative victories that they otherwise couldn't.
"Republicans want to play games of brinksmanship on the budget and the debt limit even though the foreseeable consequence will be plummeting stock markets and businesses freezing their hiring," said Rep. Nita Lowey of New York, the top Democrat on the Appropriations Committee.
"If this legislation is not enacted and we embark on a government shutdown, the consequences are severe: our brave men and women of our military don't get paid, our recovering economy will take a huge hit, and our most vulnerable citizens — including the elderly and veterans who rely on critical government programs and services — could be left high and dry," said House Appropriations Committee Chairman Harold Rogers, R-Ky.
In the event of a shutdown, federal workers' pay would be delayed, non-essential workers would be sent home and national parks would mostly close. But Social Security benefits, Medicare and most elements of the new health care law would continue.
Even before the House vote was to occur Friday, lawmakers were looking a couple of moves ahead on the congressional chessboard to a scenario in which the Democratic Senate would remove the "defund Obamacare" provision and kick the funding measure back to the House for a showdown next weekend.
An earlier plan by GOP leaders like House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, designed to send a straightforward bill to keep the government running through Dec. 15 ran into too much opposition from tea party members who demanded a showdown over the Affordable Care Act, the official name of what Republicans branded Obamacare.
Boehner has sought to reassure the public and financial markets that Republicans have no interest in either a partial government shutdown when the budget year ends or a first-ever default on a broader set of U.S. obligations when the government runs out of borrowing ability by mid- to late October.
"Let me be very clear," Boehner said. "Republicans have no interest in defaulting on our debt — none."
GOP leaders want to skirt the shutdown confrontation and seek concessions when addressing the need to raise the debt ceiling next month, but Obama says he won't be forced into making concessions as he did in the 2011 debt crisis, when he accepted $2.1 trillion in spending cuts over 10 years.
Boehner accused Obama of being ready to negotiate with Russian President Vladimir Putin over Syria but not to engage with Republicans on increasing the nation's debt limit.
GOP leaders scheduled a meeting with the rank and file to discuss the debt limit measure. Aides said they plan to propose attaching provisions, including a mandate to permit construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline, a framework to reform the loophole-cluttered U.S. tax code, limits on medical malpractice lawsuits and higher Medicare premiums for higher-income beneficiaries. Even with the grab bag of GOP chestnuts, some ardent conservatives are likely to balk at voting for any debt limit measure.
Meanwhile, a GOP family feud simmered. Many Republicans in both the House and the Senate see the "defund Obamacare" strategy as futile and faulted architects Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Mike Lee, R-Utah, for whipping up expectations among tea partyers that the fight could be effectively waged.
A key part of the law, the opening of state insurance exchanges, is set to take effect Oct. 1, so the effort to gut the health care law has added urgency among conservative activists.
When Cruz suggested in a statement that the fight could not be won in the Senate, he infuriated House Republicans.

Discord In The Superman Camp
From all accounts Michael was pretty much ignored by Joanne and Laura while he was alive. Marc Toberoff knew Michael though, he represented him and attempted to sell Michael's Superman shares to a yet un-named billionaire - the deal collapsed once Toberoff managed to sign both Joanne and Laura to his firm to represent both them and their Superman copyrights. Michael was cast aside once more, in a brutal manner. According to author Gerard Jones, "...in all the interviews he gave and all the conversations he had with fans over the next fifty years, (Siegel) never mentioned his son, Michael. He never mentioned his first wife, Bella."
You can read a lot about Michael here, it's a sad tale, but one that is all too common - husband divorces wife, marries again, fathers a new child and generally ignores the first child and ex-wife. According to Michael, Jerry, Jerry "never tried to see me. He never asked about me even when he had to talk to my mother. And after the first few months, he didn't pay a cent of alimony or child support." Hell, I know why Michael was angry - my old man did exactly the same thing to me and my brother. But that's life, the only difference is that Michael's father was world famous.
The animosity between the two half-siblings persisted almost to the very end. In November, 2005, Michael sent the following email to his legal counsel, Don Bulson. In the email Michael's feelings towards both Joanne and Laura are revealed, however despite his wishes, Laura ended up controlling Michael's copyrights in both Superman and Superboy. Sadly, despite appearances to the contrary, the Siegel family weren't one big happy family after all. More is the pity.

text: 000 FXUS63 KARX 222332 AFDARX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service La Crosse WI 630 PM CDT Mon May 22 2017 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday) Issued at 255 PM CDT Mon May 22 2017 Main impactful weather concerns are on thunderstorms this evening with the potential for some small to perhaps isolated large hail and gusty winds. Currently watching a shortwave moving through South Dakota, headed for the local area. Surface based CAPE values are expected to top out in the 700 to 1000 J/kg range late this afternoon. Showers and thunderstorms should initiate around 4 pm over portions of south central Minnesota into north central Iowa. These storms will then track east into southeast Minnesota and northeast Iowa by late this afternoon into this evening. 0-6 km bulk shear values are expected to range from 25 to 35 kts. So storms may become organized briefly with the potential to produce large hail and gusty winds. Freezing levels are also fairly low (right around 7kft), so hail production should be fairly efficient in any stronger updrafts. We may see some hail up to the size of quarters or possibly a little larger. Showers and thunderstorms will then work east across the area through the evening hours. The main areas impacted by these showers and storms will be locations south of the Interstate 94 corridor across southeast Minnesota, northeast Iowa, and southwest Wisconsin. Low pressure then spins over the region on Tuesday with continued chances for showers and perhaps a few thunderstorms. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Monday) Issued at 255 PM CDT Mon May 22 2017 The low will exit the area late on Wednesday but lingering cyclonic flow aloft may bring isolated to scattered showers to the region. The low finally exits the area late Wednesday into Thursday with dry weather expected. High temperatures will trend upward slightly Thursday into Friday as another trough approaches from the west. The trough then pushes a weak front through the region on Friday and we may see some showers and possibly a few thunderstorms with this feature. Small chances for showers and possibly thunderstorms continue through the weekend into early next week as a long wave trough moves across the Upper Mississippi River Valley. So, if you have outdoor plans for this Memorial Day weekend keep a close eye on the weather. The pattern favors slightly cooler temperatures and chances for rain showers and a few thunderstorms. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday evening) Issued at 630 PM CDT Mon May 22 2017 Cigs: looking at vfr cigs tonight-Tue morning as upper level trough/low drops south/southeast through the region. Models suggesting that the clouds will continue to lower Tue afternoon/evening - with the potential for mvfr. Trend looks reasonable and will add some late afternoon mvfr for KRST. WX/vsby: scattered shra/ts sliding across the area this evening, exiting east overnight. Thunder threat mainly through about 04z. Showers could spark again for Tue afternoon under cold air advection/perky low level lapse rates and the upper level low. Will add vcsh for both sites. Winds: winds mostly light/variable for the first part of tonight, settling into a more north direction overnight - holding there through Tue night. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 255 PM CDT Mon May 22 2017 Minor flooding is expected along portions of the Mississippi River this week. Minor flooding continues on the Yellow River at Necedah and the Trempealeau River at Dodge. Monitor river levels closely if you have interests along these rivers. && .ARX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WI...None. MN...None.

Chennai, May 7 (UNI) Trane, a leading provider of energy efficient and environmentally responsible building management and indoor comfort system, today announced the launch of its first Design Centre in the country in Chennai.
The centre would support the Indian market and would be a global R and D facility for Trane controls. It would also have a state-of-the-art validation and verification capabilities.
The design centre, located in Ascendas IT Park would initially focus on controls embedded and application software engineering skills, Company Vice President, Global Engineering and Technology, Prakash Bedapudi told newspersons here.
"Being located in a region with a large supply of engineering talent, the centre can help accelerate new feature additions to the existing products and reduce the time needed for new product introductions. In addition, it can help the company rapidly adapt its products to the demands of the dynamic, fast growing and emerging markets," he added.
The company was closely associated with various development programmes and integrated seamlessly with other engineering centres.
''It is expected to exchange knowledge, expertise and best practices with Trane's design centres in Epinal (France), Shanghai (China) St Paul (Minnesota), La Crosse, Wisconsin, Tyler, Texas and Clarksville in the United States," he claimed.

Alan Bennett was once asked what was the most offensive T-shirt he could imagine. He famously replied that it would proclaim: "I hate Judi Dench".
What greater obscenity could there be than to insult a national treasure? In the same vein, my offensive T-shirt would state: "I hate Alan Bennett's latest play". To confess that one was rather bored during a much anticipated, critically lauded work by another national treasure, is not something to be recommended in polite society. So when Bennett's People was premiered at the National Theatre late last year, I kept to myself my opinion that it had longueurs, and that I found its negative depiction of National Trust volunteers unnecessarily patronising, even a little snide. They're decent enough folk, surely.
But suddenly I find I have a strange ally for this critique. The Culture Secretary Maria Miller has belatedly seen the production and was quoted as saying afterwards: "I'm all in favour of this army of volunteers. It seems that most other people agree too, with the exception of this illustrious playwright." I was pleased to read this, not just because on this occasion I share her view, not because it is a particularly illuminating or elegantly phrased piece of criticism, but for a much more important reason – here was a Culture Secretary engaging with the art she had witnessed.
I can't immediately recall another example of someone holding that office saying anything more after a performance than the usual "it was wonderful" platitude. Here at last was a genuine, heartfelt reaction.
Now I know that many, many people in the arts will deplore what she says, not because they feel that Bennett is beyond criticism, but because it is anathema to most of the arts world for the politician in charge of culture to have opinions on culture. They are meant to arrange the funding and then silently relish the fare without passing comment. And for a Tory politician to criticise a liberal playwright is the stuff of many an arts nightmare. But as someone who has long argued for Cabinet ministers to be seen at arts events, it seems to me nonsensical to then say that they may be seen but not heard, that they should with their presence endorse British culture, but not be allowed to publicly engage with it or debate it.
The artists should welcome debate, and the ludicrous, long-standing fear in the arts that ministers' own prejudices will affect funding has no basis in reality. I look forward to Maria Miller adding the job of critic to her portfolio. One of the great pleasures of seeing a show is discussing it afterwards. Part of that discussion can now be led by the Culture Secretary, with others taking her on forcefully, and many others watching the debate unfold, and keeping the week's big openings as talking points. What's to be afraid of?
The Barbican and the Bard are an ideal match... again
The Royal Shakespeare Company has announced that David Tennant will be playing Richard II later in the year. It's an exciting piece of casting, but I'm equally intrigued by the venue for the production, when it comes to London. It will be the Barbican. The Barbican was, of course, the RSC's London home until the company decided, controversially, to leave it in the Nineties. Since then the Barbican management has commented from time to time on how they had no interest in having the RSC back. Have some quiet negotiations been going on behind the scenes?
Certainly, the various London venues that the RSC has used since have failed to give it an identity, and have simply confused the public. I suspect that the RSC has been making peace overtures with the Barbican. I also suspect that Richard II will be the first of many RSC productions there, as the company begins to realise it wasn't such a bad home after all.
Baton on stage, tickling stick in the audience
Orchestras are being urged to do more to connect with new audiences. One orchestra making the right moves is the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic. I went to see them perform the other day. Their charismatic Russian conductor, Vasily Petrenko, has inaugurated "coffee concerts" where he and orchestra replay the symphony of the night before at noon, all tickets are £15, coffee and biscuits are included, and the conductor talks to the audience. Hundreds of people came to the last one.
The audience at the evening symphony concert I attended was quite interesting too. It included the Norwegian consul, the Archbishop of Liverpool... and Ken Dodd. That's what I call eclectic.Reuse content

cranny05 Review
I was so excited when I ordered this luggage set. But, unfortunately, I didn't read the product info carefully enough because the pieces are weirdly sized. The biggest one is actually great. It's nice and big and perfect for checked luggage. But, the one after that is a tad too big to be a carry on. It's 24' and carry ons need to be 22'. This is my fault as I should've done more research. I just assumed that a luggage set would be designed for airplane use. A $100 dollar mistake I will never make again. The little one is just plain awful. It's 20' big. Yeah, it can be used as a carry on, but only if you also checked luggage and aren't trying to squeeze everything in it in order to avoid paying the stupid airplane checked luggage fees. The so-called carry on bag that comes with the set is a joke. My purse is bigger than that flimsy thing. I ended up going to Target to get a real carry on bag. Looks like I'll only be using one piece of this -piece luggage set. Oh, and the 20' suitcase looks like some kid stitched it together, which I truly hope isn't the case. Lots of mistakes on that one.
- How accurate was the sizing? For your site yes, but for airports, no
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Okay
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? No

The European Commission is threatening to block the Premier League from selling all its live football match rights to BSkyB. It has been angered by reports that Sky is demanding exclusive access to live football for the 2004-2005 season in return for £1 billion.
EC insiders have indicated that competition chief Mario Monti believes that the deal derails its attempts to open the Premier League up to competition.
'The press has reported that they are negotiating to sell those rights packages to a single broadcaster,' said a source. 'If this is true, there's a competition issue here.'
Commission sources have pointed to a legal challenge to French broadcaster Canal Plus for a similar agreement based on exclusivity. French competition authorities have challenged the deal and the Commission says the same precedent would apply.
Concern that Sky could monopolise football rights for the next season comes six months after the EC accused the Premier League of price-fixing. After an 18-month investigation, the EC tried to ban clubs from selling TV rights collectively. But after pressure from Trade and Industry Secretary Patricia Hewitt and prominent football club chiefs, Monti backed down. Europe agreed to allow clubs to sell rights together.
In return, the League agreed to split the live rights package into three tranches, giving terrestrial channels a better chance of securing live matches.
But BSkyB is thought to have bid £1bn for all three packages - on condition that it gets them exclusively. According to reports, if Sky fails to secure any of the three packages, it will withdraw the offer and pay a much lower sum for the other rights.
Three packages are on the table, a 'Gold' package of 38 games to be played on Sunday at 4pm, a 'Silver' package of 38 Monday night games, and a 'Bronze' tranche of 62 games on Saturday at kick-off times of 1pm and 5.15pm.
The broadcaster who wins the Gold package gets first choice of the best games and can dictate who plays on Sunday. The Monday winner will have second pick, leaving the broadcaster who gets the Saturday games with the third and fourth choice of games.
EC sources claimed that the Premier League knew the Commission would be unhappy if a single broadcaster scooped all the rights. 'They knew we had a problem in December with them selling all three packages to a single broadcaster,' said one. 'It's not in the interests of the stakeholder or the consumer. We want to see competition between broadcasters and we don't believe it's healthy for a football club to rely on a single broadcaster.'
But the League is deadlocked - the inability of rival broadcasters such as the BBC or ITV to match the sums on the table from Sky makes it unwilling to challenge their dominance.
Analysts believed that the BBC would not have been able to bid more than £100 million for a single tranche of live rights.
The EC has suggested to the League that if Sky splits one of the packages with a terrestrial broadcaster, it might be prepared to allow it to pick up the other exclusive rights. Sky refused to comment.
But TV industry insiders believe this approach will fail. 'If the League tries to split the rights it will lose the Sky revenue,' said one. 'Sky never negotiates.'

David Campos (born September 28, 1970),[1] is an attorney and former member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors representing San Francisco's District 9 (Bernal Heights, Portola, and the Inner Mission) from 2008 to 2016 when he termed out. His reelection in 2012 made him one of only two LGBT San Francisco supervisors. In 2014, Campos ran for the California State Assembly seat in the 17th District (eastern half of San Francisco), but lost to David Chiu.[2]

Early life and career[edit]
David Campos was born in Puerto Barrios, Guatemala.[3] His father was a meteorologist.[4] His family first tried to cross the border when David was 11, but they were caught and deported. Around 1983, his father made it across the border and went to Los Angeles, where he became a carpenter.[5] In 1985, at age 14, with his mother and two sisters, he fled Guatemala and emigrated to the United States.[6] Campos graduated at the top of his class at Jefferson High School in South Central Los Angeles.[3] He earned scholarships and admissions to Stanford University, from which he graduated in 1993 with a degree in political science.[6] While attending Harvard Law School from 1993 to 1996, Campos became a permanent resident of the United States[6] and met his partner, Phil Hwang. They married in 2014.[7]
After three years of private law practice, Campos became Deputy City Attorney for the City and County of San Francisco in 1999.[8] During his tenure he was chief attorney for San Francisco Unified School District overseeing its school desegregation program.[3] Campos was also appointed as a San Francisco Police Commissioner from 2005-2008.[8]
San Francisco Board of Supervisors[edit]
In 2008, David Campos was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, representing District 9 (Bernal Heights, Portola, and the Inner Mission), succeeding current State Assemblymember Tom Ammiano.
Mayor Gavin Newsom appointed Campos to the vacant supervisorial seat on December 4, 2008, one month before the other freshman supervisors were elected in November 2008.[9] His predecessor, Ammiano, had resigned from the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in early December to start his tenure at the California State Assembly.
San Francisco Sanctuary City Policy[edit]
In 1989, San Francisco passed the "City and County of Refuge" Ordinance (also known as the Sanctuary Ordinance) which prohibits City employees from helping Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) with immigration investigations or arrests unless such help is required by federal or state law or a warrant.[10]
In 2008, following the arrest of undocumented alien youth Edwin Ramos for a triple murder, Gavin Newsom amended the sanctuary city policy of San Francisco to allow the city to refer juvenile undocumented immigrants convicted of felonies to federal authorities for deportation.[11] San Francisco had also been referring such youth arrested but not yet tried in court to federal authorities.[12]
Supervisor Campos introduced legislation in August 2009 that sought to protect undocumented alien youths from deportation and separation from their families by the San Francisco police. The legislation would have required local authorities to wait for a criminal conviction before turning youth over to ICE.[1][12] In an editorial for the "San Francisco Chronicle", Campos stated that his proposal "strikes a balance between the former city policy that failed to report people who should have been reported, and the current one, which in essence violates the right of these young people to a hearing on the accusations against them and can ultimately tear them from the protection of their families" and that he believed "every person has the right to a hearing before being punished and is innocent until proven guilty."[13]
Free Muni for Youth[edit]
Supervisor Campos and local community activists including P.O.W.E.R. (People Organized to Win Employment Rights) and CCDC (Chinatown Community Development Center) are credited with providing free local public transportation to San Francisco youth.[14] San Francisco residents from low income communities were outraged after San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) decided to significantly reduce the use of yellow school buses for transporting students to and from school.[15] Campos argued, "in the midst of this affordability crisis, we know that low and moderate income families, youth, seniors and people with disabilities are struggling more than ever, and making public transportation affordable and accessible is one step towards alleviating some of the financial stress people are experiencing." [14]
On March 1, 2013, the San Francisco Municipal Transit Authority (SFMTA) launched the Free MUNI for Low Income Youth Pilot Program. The 16-month pilot program waived MUNI fares for low- and moderate-income youth residents of San Francisco between the ages of 5 and 18. To qualify for free passes, families must make less than the average income in the Bay Area, which the SFMTA puts at $82,400 for a family of two and $103,000 for a family of four.[16]
The SFMTA decided to renew the program in response to the pilot program's success. According to preliminary data by the Office of the Mayor, Free Muni for Low Income Youth had a positive impact on San Francisco's transportation network. In addition, Clipper card data showed 266,000 more rides by youth Muni riders in May 2013 than in May 2012. Approximately 45 percent of Free Muni for Low Income Youth participants plan to ride public transportation as an adult, while 70 percent would recommend Muni to their friends, according to the San Francisco Unified School District Student Survey results.[17]
This success has also inspired Google to contribute $6.8 million and support these efforts for two years.[17]
Creating reproductive health care buffer zone[edit]
Since it opened in 2011, the San Francisco Planned Parenthood sought to prevent protests by anti-abortion activists.[18] According to proponents of the ordinance, protesters were obscuring access to the clinics with large signs, and taking pictures and video of anyone entering the clinic. At that time abortions accounted for less than 2 percent of patient visits.[19]
In May 2013, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors unanimously passed Campos's Health Care Access Buffer Zone legislation.[20] The legislation created a 25-foot harassment free buffer zone around all free-standing health clinics in the city. The penalty for encroaching the buffer zone is up to a $1,000 fine or three months in jail.[21] The ordinance also expands the federal Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, which makes it a federal offense to use physical force or intimidation to prevent a person from entering a reproductive health care facility.
Securing CleanPowerSF[edit]
In September 2012, San Francisco's supervisors voted 8-3 to approve Campos's CleanPowerSF legislation. CleanPowerSF is a planned publicly owned clean energy program that allow residents to choose to buy electricity generated from renewable source rather than from PG&E, the dominant utility in the city.[22] Ultimately, the plan will use the program's revenue stream to help construct the city's own renewable energy infrastructure, including wind and solar generators.[23]
Airbnb Legislation and Lawsuit[edit]
In April 2016, Campos introduced legislation that would fine short-term rental companies like Airbnb $1000 a day for each listing that wasn't registered with the City of San Francisco. City law requires that all short-term rentals be registered.[24] After the Board of Supervisors approved the legislation, Airbnb sued the City, claiming that the law violated the Communications Decency Act, which prohibits the government from holding websites accountable for the content published by users.[25] Campos then introduced new amendments to the legislation to attempt to address the challenges in the lawsuit.[26]
2014 run for state assembly[edit]
On August 1, 2013, Campos filed papers at San Francisco City Hall to run for the California State Assembly seat in the 17th District (eastern half of San Francisco). If elected, Campos would have been the first Latino to represent San Francisco in the State Assembly.[8] His election would also have extended a legacy of consecutive LGBT public officials serving San Francisco in the State Assembly, starting with Carole Migden (1996-2002) and continuing with Mark Leno (2002-2008), and Tom Ammiano (2008-2014).
Campos lost to David Chiu in the primary on Tuesday, June 3, 2014, with 43 percent of the vote. Chiu won 48 percent of the vote and Republican candidate David Salaverry won 8.5 percent.
Three days after the November election, the race was too close to call. Campos received 48 percent of the votes and conceded the race to Chiu.[27]

I sometimes get the same feeling, but I don't think it's that bad in reality. Average executive ages have actually declined over the last several years, and there are a lot of X-ers with 2007 top 20 albums: Jay-Z, Gwen Stefani, Kanye, Daughtry, Nickelback, Fergie, Linkin Park, Rascal Flatts, Norah Jones ... and depending on who you believe, maybe even Beyonce.

Former Dewey & LeBoeuf partners including those in London will be asked to pay up to $3m (£1.9m) each as a settlement to grant them relief from being sued, it was revealed today.
The optional deal will see partners pay between 10 per cent and 30 per cent of the total cash they received from the firm for 2011 and 2012, with a cap set at $3m.
The amount due to absolve partners from future liability varies depending on partners' positions in the defunct firm's remuneration ladder, with those towards the bottom paying 10 per cent and those towards the top 30 per cent, while those in the middle will pay a figure in between. The minimum amount partners who opt in will have to pay is $25,000 (£16,000).
Details of the deal were communicated in a conference call to ex-partners scheduled for 10am New York time today led by Togut Segal & Segal managing partner Albert Togut, the collapsed firm's bankruptcy counsel.
Partners will find out tomorrow (12 July) how much they are expected to contribute, with the firm set to send each partner an individual email detailing the amount due.
Former Dewey chairman Steve Davis is excluded from the deal, with Togut telling partners on the call that the estate reserves the right to sue the collapsed firm's erstwhile chief.
The settlement is open to global partners including former partners of the London and Paris offices, who were members of the UK LLP.
Partners have until 24 July to opt in to the settlement, but are still able to participate after the cut-off date if they pay an extra 25 per cent premium.
The total figure brought into the estate from the settlement has to hit a threshold of $50m (£32.1m) in order for it to gain court approval. However, the estate is aiming to raise a total of $103m (£66.2m) from the contributions.
If the deal is not approved by a 31 July deadline, the case will convert to a Chapter 7 bankruptcy as the estate will have run out of funds.
The look-back period does not go further back in time than 2011, with the amount due calculated as a percentage of total cash received rather than purely compensation. This means partners will have to pay a proportion of compensation deferred from previous years and any other payments they received, but they will not be required to pay a proportion of compensation that was deferred if they did not receive it.
Furthermore, the amount is calculated based on when the cash was received rather than the year in which the partner earned the remuneration.
A former partner told The Lawyer that the deal was favourable to those low on the remuneration ladder who did not bring in much revenue and to those on the top who earned significantly more than the cap of $3m they will have to pay. However, the partner said it was unfavourable towards those in the middle who were profitable members of the firm.
The partner said: "Those who are really getting screwed the most are those in the middle who were productive."
The details of the deal were originally put to former partners in a conference call last month in which those present were able to respond with questions (20 June 2012). However, today's call was a one-way announcement.

How did you get to school?
I remember looking cross eyed when a member of my parents generation would regale us with stories of the five mile , barefoot in the snow walks to school. In my dad's case, he was born and raised in Chicago, his elementary school travels were by sidewalk with leather shoes on his feet. However, his teenage years were spent on a ranch on the outskirts of Prescott, Arizona and he and his brothers really did ride a horse, a mules and a donkey to school. (he had some great stories about hunting mountain lions with the trusty family Airedales and the ranch hands from his family's property, but I digress).
In my own case, my elementary schools days were spent walking or riding my bike the half mile to school. Only hardship there was that my family lived on a steep hill which facilitated getting to school (good thing too!) but made coming home more arduous.
Unlike my wife, who road a school bus each way from her family's rural New Jersey home, I only had two brief periods when I road a bus.
However, that is not say my trips to and from school were lacking in some drama and during one period of real fun and adventure, when I first moved to Sao Paulo, Brazil back in 1955, my family rented a neat house that was designed by Oscar Neimeier (the same architect that design Brazil's capital Brasilia). The house was , at that time out in country, so I would be picked up every morning by my friends' father in chauffeur driven Chevi Sedan, who would drop us boys on the Bondi (what the city's streetcars were called) line where we would pick up a local that would take us to school. This all sounded just fine in theory, but the Bondi's ran really full at that hour of the day so you had to pick a spot on the running board for your foot and a purchase on a hand rail
bar and sort of hike out (sailor talk) as the streetcar gathered speed swaying and wiggling its' way down the tracks. We would take this exhilarating ride to school each morning (coming home was less exciting cause you could actually, usually, sit down during non rush hours. Lots of un till my parents found out .... and signed me up to ride the school bus.
Here are a couple of pictures of streetcars we used to ride:
bonde3.jpg bonde4.jpg
While most of our transportation around the city was by taxi (very nicely kept 1946-47 Chevrolet Fleetlines or Ford Fordors, always black with custom dark red vinyl interiors ) or, when they weren't in use by our parents, the chauffeured sedans that were our parents. But I have to say during our vacations we could be caught exploring the city of Sao Paulo by Bondi, both the open kind (which we preferred) or the closed, larger ear 20th century enclosed street cars .... we never took the buses as they were diesel and stunk with fumes.
So, how did you get to school back when you were young?
Re: How did you get to school?
How the hell are we supposed to top that???
Walked or biked... Bus for K and 1st from way out in the sticks.
Re: How did you get to school?
^^^ I'll bet Koz or Sub can top that in spades! And I wouldn't sell some of younger members short either.
Re: How did you get to school?
Nah, piece of cake here. Either biked or hiked the 7 blocks to Blessed Sacrament Elementary (Sacred Heart nuns) (after paper route). Bus and streetcar down into DC to St. John's (military high school - Christian Brothers). Drove the Morris Minor and an MG-TD to Catholic University (Jesuits and Marists). Did Am.Hist.Masters at U of SC part-time on sub patrols and drove from Charleston to Columbia for seminars, labs and exams in off-crew.

Re: How did you get to school?
Sub, was I26 completed from Charleston to Columbia when you made those comutes?
I walked the 3 blocks to school. Sometimes in cloth hi top tennis shoes and sometimes in leather shoes.
Re: How did you get to school?
Yep - got a speeding ticket to prove it. '67 Cougar HiPo, lime green metallic, black vinyl top. Duals and glasspacks. SC Smokeys loved it.
Go, Gamecocks !!!
U SC in '77-78-79
Re: How did you get to school?
Walked mostly: only one block to elementary school; not quite 2 miles to junior high; and about 1 mile to high school. Northern New Jersey.
Re: How did you get to school?
Walked up-hill, both ways.
Re: How did you get to school?
On nice days, a cherry red 69 Camaro!!! Tubed with cheater slicks, caged, 468 with a 1050 dominator burning cam2, 400 turbo on a brake. Raw, low 11s, laughing gas,,low 10s. That car turned heads, and we loved to get dropped off in it!!!
Re: How did you get to school?
Mom or Dad drove me to school on their way to work when I was young, and I'd catch a ride home with one of my classmates or one of my older siblings, who were already driving. When I was a little older, I rode the bus part of the way home, then walked the rest of the way. Once I turned 16 and got my license, and never had to depend on anyone for transportation again.
Re: How did you get to school?
I lived about 1/2 mile from the schoolhouse. We didn't have a car. My sister and I walked to school every day. There was no such thing as a snow day. School never shut down for weather no matter how cold it got. I walked to school in -66F weather. All the kids did. There were very few actual school buses. Most were contract carriers where somebody with a man haul would transport the neighborhood kids for a few dollars from the school board. Fairbanks was a small place and we had one school that was K through highschool. As the town grew more schools were built and bus routes added but you still had to live a mile or more from the school in order to ride them. I came home for lunch every day and my Mom would have it ready when I came through the door. My Mom went back to work when I started fourth grade so at that point I'd come home and fix my own lunch.
In that day and age, car owners parked their cars for the winter except for doctors and emergency services. All the necessities of life were delivered by the shops. Groceries, meat and the like were a phone call away. A few of the upper crust had heated garages and drove but there was no where to go anyway as once the highways snowed in they were closed. Travel to the lower 48 was by railroad and steamship. The big leap forward in transportation was the development of the head bolt engine heater. A head bolt was removed from your engine and an electrical heating element was screwed in in its place. You could plug in your car and the engine would get warm enough to start. We had owned a '37 Buick with a bullet hole that had belonged to a U S Marshal but my folks had sold it during WWII. When the war was over and you could buy cars again my dad bought a new '47 Buick. My Mom drove that to work and my sister and I still walked to school. My junior year in high school my Dad died so we were on hard times and it was tough going keeping the car running. Eventually I got the residue from several old Ford pickups at an auction of military surplus and combined them all to make one that would run. By this time the '47 Buick had expired and it had been traded for a used '53 Buick that my mom drove.Don't mess with Binky Bear!

Re: How did you get to school?
When I was little my sister and I rode the bus. Grew up in very rural WI and it was almost a 90 minute bus ride to school. We were the first ones on and the last ones off everyday. Long ride for us being only 8 miles from school. Sometimes in the winter I take the snowmobile and cut through the woods to a trial. It was then only 3 miles. Once I was 16 I drove. Started an '85 Chevy Cavalier, then an '87 Buick Skyhawk, '89 Mercury Tracer and then finally by my senior year (1993) I had a 1990 Geo Storm GSI which was a fun little car.
Re: How did you get to school?
before my parents sent me away to out of distric schools the first 2 schools i ever went to where local public schools i lived to close to the schools for the city's to bus me their they didn't pick up kids that lived with in 1 mile of the school lol so i walked road a bike

Nitro Venture TLS Snowboard Boot Men's
Effortlessly transition from perfectly sculpted terrain parks to fresh pow laps with the mid stiff response and foot conforming liner of the Nitro Men's Venture TLS Snowboard Boot. Equipped with Nitro's TLS 5 Twin Lacing System, the Venture TLS offers independent tightening along the upper and lower zones with the quick and simple pull of each lacing handle. Not only does this facilitate quicker lacing than traditional laces, but it also dials in a customizable fit to your liking and the terrain at hand. Keep both zones as tight as possible for the utmost in response or loosen either zone for a bit more freestyle freedom. Inside this all terrain slayer, the heat moldable Cloud 6 liner offers a supportive, highly cushioned feel without nasty pressure points. Its lightweight thermacell foam conforms to the contours of your feet and calves for a truly customizable fit. Its internal lacing system and molded Latex heel pads keep heel lift in check, even when you're riding at high speeds. Softening the blow from heavy landings and choppy snow conditions, the dual density footbed and EVA midsole enhance impact dampening for high impact freestyle riding. Furthermore, Nitro equipped this boot with a super grippy rubber sole, which is a welcomed alternative to the lack of grip encountered with single mold EVA soles currently infiltrating the market.

On a construction industry forum that I participate in, this article has been posted. It questions the useability of salvage material in new construction, in spite of the fact that it's a more "green" way of doing things.
There certainly does seem to be some degree of contradiction existent. I'm curious as to how those of you in the planning profession reconcile that...Current building codes simply aren't formulated to accommodate the reuse of salvaged materials, leaving well-intentioned green builders caught in a classic Catch-22: As a matter of public policy, many progressive cities encourage the recycling of building materials, yet as a matter of administrative practice they make their use either economically impractical or else outright illegal.
