July 10, 2012
Dr. Nivine Megahed President National Louis University 122 South Michigan Avenue Chicago, Illinois 60603
Thank you for your letter of June 25, responding to mine of May 7, 21and June 12, concerning the general secretary's decision to authorize an investigation into issues of Association concern at National Louis University. You ask "in what capacity [we] are making [our] inquiries/ investigations and by what authority [we] purport to be acting."
We agree it is important that we explain our basic aims. The Association, since its founding in 1915, has sought to secure an understanding of sound academic standards in accredited institutions of higher learning throughout the United States. It has, for example, issued statements of policy, frequently in cooperation with other leading organizations in the academic community, embodying these standards. The 1940 Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom and Tenure, upon which our interest in the issues of academic freedom, tenure, and due process posed by the cases at National Louis University is based, was adopted jointly by the Association of American Colleges and Universities and has been endorsed by more than 210 leading professional societies and educational organizations.
Also, from its earliest days, the AAUP has deemed it to be its responsibility to investigate, and to inform the profession about, institutional actions which appear to constitute significant departures from generally accepted academic standards. The Association has never maintained that the administration of a college is under any official obligation to participate in the Association's investigative efforts. On a number of occasions we have completed an investigation without that participation. In most instances, however, it has been and continues to be our experience that administrations are cooperative.
As we prepare our investigation, the second half of your letter, describing the NLU administration's perspective on the actions and decisions of the last several months, is a helpful step in enhancing our understanding of what has occurred, and we appreciate your sharing that information with us. There are quite a few issues and questions, however, that our ad hoc investigating committee will want to explore more fully with you and with other NLU administrative officers. These include such matters as the decision-making process that led to the discontinuance of academic programs and the termination of faculty appointments; the criteria that were used in making these decisions; the "serious fiscal pressures on the university" that you cited as the basis for the actions taken, and the budgetary savings that resulted from the layoffs; the nature and extent of the faculty's participation in the process that you have described as "fully collaborative"; the review procedures afforded to the faculty members whose appointments were terminated; and efforts that were made to find other suitable positions for affected faculty. We would hope, therefore, that you will agree to meet with members of our investigating committee, probably in September, when they visit Chicago to conduct interviews with the concerned parties.
Primary staff responsibility for our NLU investigation from this time on will be held by my colleague, Anita Levy. You will be hearing from her about the identity of the committee members and the proposed dates for the committee's visit.
B. Robert Kreiser Associate Secretary

Looking for an on-trend pop of yellow in the garden? Try the popular perennial crocus to bring a hopeful harbinger of spring color to the garden. The Pantone Color Institute thinks the bold yellow of Freesia will be a trendy color choice.
Each year the Pantone Color Institute picks an array of on-trend colors each season like the bold, sunny yellow of Freesia. This year's spring color palette pairs soft pastels with vivid brights says the Pantone Color Institute's executive director Leatrice Eiseman, who consults designers to choose seasonal color trends for fashion, home and outdoors.
"Full of warmth and energy" says Leatrice Eiseman, Freesia pairs well with Pantone's Celosia Orange. If you are a fan of color paired with delicious fragrance, freesia in a happy yellow shade, makes a lovely summer bloomer when planted in pots or in garden beds.
Pantone's designers took their inspiration for colors like Celosia from nature. "Floral-inspired tones are very important for spring," says Pantone Color Institute executive director Leatrice Eiseman. "No less than half the palette are named after flowers or ornamentals."
'Jewel Box Salmon' Celosia Argentea (Cristata Group)
The Cristata cultivars of celosia work very well in containers with their warm burst of color.
'Apricot Brandy' Celosia Argentea (Plumosa Group)
The Plumosa cultivars of celosia feature feathery, plumelike flowers with a whimsical, tree-like shape.
Violet Tulip
Violet tulip is "a romantic, vintage purple" says Leatrice Eiseman, that "evokes wistful nostalgia." Leatrice Eiseman suggests pairing Violet Tulip with Celosia Orange "for a captivating vision, much like the setting summer sun."
'Delft' Violets African Violet
The 'Delft' African violet is a real head-turner with its wavy-edged blooms above dark leaves. The large, semi-double cornflower-blue flowers have contrasting yellow centers.
Verbena Superbena 'Violet Ice'
This new verbena grows vigorously and shows good tolerance to heat and mildew. The bright violet blooms of 'Violet Ice' are an on trend garden color.
"Sand," says Leatrice Eiseman, is a "lightly toasted and amiable neutral, conjures images of the beach and the carefree days of summer. Try pairing Sand with Hemlock for perfect, natural balance."
Attract Wildlife to the Garden
If the natural look is what you are after, there's no better way than creating a habitat attractive to wildlife like the American Toad (Bufo americanus), sometimes referred to as the hop toad, can be found mostly in the northeast United States and eastern Canada.
"A summery, ornamental green, [hemlock] provides a decorative touch that's very different from the greens of recent seasons," says Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute.
Seafoam Succulent
The soft, nearly translucent seafoam green of baby's toes Fenestraria work well in a small container to highlight their delicate form.
Colorful Container
Succulents in Hemlock-hued greens offer unlimited possibilities for container gardens, including the use of color pots and even colored gravel—as seen here—to complement their unusual shapes.
Placid Blue
Leatrice Eiseman describes Placid Blue as "like a picture-perfect, tranquil and reassuring sky."
Delphinium Summer Blue English Cottage Style Plant
Delphinium grandiflorum, or 'Summer Blues', is a wonderfully compact plant that is blanketed with sky blue flowers in early summer. 'Summer Blues' has better heat tolerance and is early blooming.
Borinda Bamboo Known for Vivid Blue Stems
Color can crop up in unexpected places in the garden. If you're not a flower fan or are working with a more modern or Asian garden style, a blue-tinted bamboo can be a great botanical feature. Borinda bamboo has feathery green leaves and gracefully arching canes. The new shoots are pale blue in color and can tolerate a fair amount of sun but prefer afternoon shade, especially in warmer climates. Allow ample space for this beauty.
Purple Haze
Bold colors like Purple Haze work surprisingly well with more subdued pastels, says Pantone Color Institute's Leatrice Eiseman, of the color philosophy behind the Pantone collection.
'Blue Bird' Hibiscus
If you want to add a Mediterranean touch to your patio, deck, or garden, you can't beat a hibiscus shrub for pure flower power. The 'Blue Bird' variety is perfect for a sunny, sheltered area.
Basketful of Blue
The bright blue flowers of campanula 'Stella Blue' are a wonderful addition to containers from midsummer to fall.
'Oxford Blue' Is a Spectacular Blooming Foliage Plant
Eryngium bourgatii, 'Oxford Blue', forms clumps of divided leaves with prominent white veins, and cone-like, dark blue flower heads with silvery blue, spiny bracts.
Magenta Purple
"Another aspect of color for spring is to think in context of combining many unusual combinations—mixing bold with pastel and creating combinations that are exceptional and not straight out of the 'rule book,'" says Pantone's Leatrice Eiseman. Colors like Magenta Purple can be incorporated into a garden design founded on shades of purple; a mix of rich jewel tones; or a blend of brights and pastels.
A Magenta Poppy
Bold-colored flowers in the Magenta range are a great way to add drama to any garden.
Dazzling Blue
Pantone Color Institute executive director Leatrice Eiseman calls Dazzling Blue "scintillating" and says "these strong, vibrant colors also pair well across the palette: they are perfect companions to pastels and add confidence and vivacity when mixed with other bold colors."
'Heavenly Blue' Morning Glory
A morning glory, such as Ipomoea, 'Heavenly Blue', has a superb flower display from summer to fall. Consider it to twine over an arch or pergola.
Radiant Orchid
Inspired by the colorful splendor of the garden, Radiant Orchid is Pantone's Color of the Year 2014 and takes its cue from exotic orchids.
Thanks to Pantone naming Radiant Orchid the color of the year, orchids are getting lots of attention these days. This year, more people will start growing orchids and incorporating their delicate patterns into outdoor décor.
'Princess' Orchid
The Momozono 'Princess' orchid produces colorful heads of blooms that gradate from pink to yellow to white. This beauty is a great way to bring vibrant color into a home or office.
"Cayenne, a high-pitched red, adds a dash of spicy heat to neutrals, and heightens the excitement when mixed with Freesia," says Leatrice Eiseman.
All About the Orange
Color is not just for flowers. Consider architectural elements from sheds, to trellises to containers that can introduce Pantone's gorgeous colors into the garden. Out building or sheds can be painted to coordinate with house colors, as in this shed that is painted a deep orange.
Spicy Tulips
Spice up your garden with the bold shape and color of tulips in an intense red-orange.
Grow the 'Scarlet Giant' Hibiscus for a Tropical Effect
Hibiscus rosa sinensis, 'Scarlet Giant', is a deciduous shrub native to tropical and subtropical areas. It features large, funnel shaped brilliant red flowers. They grow in full sun and well drained soil.
Pantone's color palette combines soft pastels and vivid brights and is inspired, in part, by blooming flowers, says Pantone Color Institute executive director Leatrice Eiseman. Eiseman calls Paloma "a quintessential neutral, interesting enough to be worn alone or combined with any color for sophisticated poise."
Shades of Gray
Huge felty leaves make this an attractive texture for any border. Remove the pinkish-white flowers when they appear or they will cause the quality of the foliage to deteriorate.
'Silver Queen' Artemisia Ludoviciana
Artemisia ludoviciana has a striking silver color and spiky form that can bring lovely texture and a chic gray palette to the garden.
Gray Slate
Live the trend in design, with gray slate in the garden.
A soft green-grey, Comfrey is more masculine and richer than Hemlock, and would be the perfect hue for an outbuilding, potting shed, fence or even a chicken coop.
Mobile Chicken Co-op
Soup up your coop with a beautiful paint color to coordinate with your home or just offer your birds a little dose of style. Heritage chickens live in this Comfrey-colored mobile chicken co-op at the Tennessee farm resort Blackberry Farm.
Are Collards the New Kale?
The silvery green color of collards make them the ideal edible to mix with ornamentals. Many are predicting that collards may soon unseat kale as America's hippest veg. Though more familiar to Southern gardeners, collards are easy to grow in almost any zone. This cool-weather crop can be planted in both spring and fall.
Giant Feather Grass
A striking gray-green with silvery flower spikes in spring, giant feather grass shifts to shades of gold and tan over summer and winter and makes for a great specimen grass.

Angelina Jolie Heads to Disneyland With Family and Friends to Celebrate Daughter Shiloh's 11th Birthday
Gustavo Caballero/Getty Images for iHeart)
Charlie Puth is feeling prickly—and it seems Bella Thorne is to blame.
In a series of tweets Thursday morning, the 25-year-old singer announced he was no longer interested in romancing the 19-year-old actress. "I can't believe what I'm reading," he said. "No one should have their heart messed with like this, and I'm not going to be in the middle of it."
Puth was apparently upset after fans had questioned his relationship status with Thorne. Less than 12 hours earlier, she tweeted two pictures, including one that showed her embracing former flame Tyler Posey. In the caption, she wrote she was "taking a trip down memory lane."
"I don't know Tyler personally," Puth tweeted, "but I know he shouldn't be treated this way." When one fan suggested Thorne was still dating Posey when she began a fling with Puth, the singer-songwriter replied, "She told me she was not with him anymore. This is all news to me."
"I want nothing but peace for all," the singer tweeted. "I'm just removing myself from this."
Thorne did not respond to Puth's tweets. But on Wednesday, the former Disney Channel star corrected rumors about herself and Posey. "Haha yeah and me and ty never lived together," she tweeted. "We just were always together...Rumors rumors can't always believe the media."
Jiro Schneider
On Thursday, Paper magazine published an interview Thorne in which she explained why she puts it all out there on social media. "When [Posey and I] first started dating, paparazzi got a photo of us kissing outside and it sucked that people got that photo because we really didn't want it out at that time," the actress explained. "We were obviously dating and hanging out, but it just wasn't necessary to put that in front of everyone's face, you know? That one sucked."
Bella tweeted a link to the article, adding, "Ty and I have been broken up for like over two weeks and charlie and I ARENT DATING we are friends. That article was written forever ago."
Posey, for his part, has not weighed in via his own social media accounts.
Several weeks ago, Puth tweeted about the "kiss of his life," which many of his fans assumed was with Thorne. The pair took their romance public Sunday when they got close in Miami Beach. Later that night, they made their red carpet debut at the 2016 Y-100 Jingle Ball concert.

I feel over her,
But I know I'm not,
I could start a relationship with someone else.
But it feels like she owns part of me.
A piece of me.
Like she has something in her pocket.
I dont know exactly how I feel.
she's everything I would like, I would need.
She has the most beautiful eyes ever.
When we were together we just stared into each others eyes for hours.
Hugging, kissing.
It felt perfect… but it didn't last.
when I was with her at that time,.
I felt safe with her.
I thought she really liked me by the way she stared back into my eyes.
She definitely knew how much I liked her.
I guess some thing just don't work out.

K-9's 4 Cops founder Kristi Schiller
At a time when budget cuts are affecting every department in Harris County, Commissioner's Court readily approved the donation of the animals from an organization called K-9's 4 Cops. It was the brainchild of Kristi Schiller.
"It started 15-months ago. I was watching the news and I saw that a dog was killed in Precinct 4. Some kids had stabbed this dog and killed it. I was so heart broken. It was right after the holidays, and I realized the officer without a partner, couldn't be on the street."
Sgt William Thomas with the Sheriff's Dept K-9 unit says they were thrilled to get the new canine officers.
"We got two Belgian Malinois, one giant Schnauzer and one German Shepherd. The German Shepherd is a dual trained dog. He's made to hunt people or lost people, children. He's also made able to track down or smell out hidden narcotics."
There are twelve K-9 units in the Sheriff's Department. Last year they answered over 18-hundred calls for canine assistance. The donation is worth in excess of 60-thousand dollars, but Thomas says the animals are priceless.
"That's correct. Being a backup for that officer. Whenever you might have to send another officer, he might be able to answer a call by himself. Being able to locate narcotics in an area that would take other officers hours to search. I mean, you can't put a put a value on it."
More information on the organization can be found at www.K9s4cops.com.

According to NEWS, 'libtoolize --install' was added in libtool 1.9b (in 2004); however, 'info libtool "invoking libtoolize"' on libtool 2.4 still fails to document this option. I also checked the latest libtool.git, where it is still missing, eight years later. It would be nice to have this documentation added, along with hints of the appropriate workaround for libtool 1.5.22 still in use in RHEL 5, and still as the minimum version of libtool supported by gnulib. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org

After The Table Rock Fire, Boise Fire Chief Says Things Should Change
The damage is immediately clear visually as you drive into the city following the 2500+ acre Table Rock Fire last week. The cause was fireworks. Should our Idaho laws change?
The damage is immediately clear visually as you drive into the city following the 2500+ acre Table Rock Fire last week. The cause was fireworks. Should our Idaho laws change?
The atmosphere last year got a little rowdy, so the organizers of the 4th of July fun this year in McCall decided to take alcohol out of the equation.
How long has it been since watched a Dodgeball match? Not counting the movie or One Direction videos.
Here's the scoop on a Dodgeball Tournament happening of the 4th of July in Boise, and the charities it can benefit. Sounds fun!
We don't do it every day, but for some reason on the 4th of July we don't think twice about lighting a stick that burns at 2000 degrees and handing it to a 3-year old. Maybe not the best idea! Kids get injured from this one particular type of firework more than any other.
Bet you didn't know that one of the biggest and most spectacular fireworks displays west of the Mississippi happens every year here in Idaho on the 4th of July. It's true...bigger than anything in Portland, Seattle, California and it happens here in Idaho. Don't believe me? Check out last years video,
With the 4th of July this weekend, we are gonna hear the National Anthem a few times through out the long weekend. This rendition though I have to say it, is the best I've ever heard. And more than likely you have never heard of the woman who sang it.
Planning a big fireworks display at your house this 4th of July? You better make sure it's legal if you're outside city limits or a fire district inside Ada County...
It's been a year since Jason Pierre-Paul of the New York Giants injured his hand in a gruesome fireworks accident, and he's been doing quite a few interviews lately about he dangers of fireworks. Have you seen the pics? They look like something out of the movies. Don't eat first.
Visits to ERs in Idaho will be up this week because of fireworks-related injuries, but you can protect yourself. Here's how.
A guy named Mark Dice spent the 4th of July weekend at a beach in San Diego asking people questions, including, why, we as a country, celebrate Independence Day. Let's just say, that our edumacation system might not be the best after hearing some of these answers from grown adults.
It was a fun vacation, but it's nice to be back. Kate and I, along with about 10,000 other Treasure Valley residents headed to McCall for the 4th of July Weekend. For those who want to relive some of the fireworks, here is a quick video of some of the aerial pyrotechnics and a few pictures of the sights.

(Re)learning How to Fly, One Day at a Time: Day Eight Part Three...Mature
My thoughts were no longer connected to my actions.
"Adam, wha--" She began, but my lips on hers cut her off.
One of my hands cradled her face in the palm of it, tilting her head up closer to mine. After a couple of floors, reality caught up with me. I stepped back a bit.
"Adam." She gasped, her lungs obviously searching for air as much as my own.
The truth, the need hit me then, and I spoke my thoughts out loud.
"We have to find a way to do this, Naomi. We have to."
"Yeah, we do." She said, biting her soft pink lip. Without noticing, I reached out and ran my thumb over her lip, trying to get her to release it from her teeth.
We were silent the rest of the elevator ride, and out to the car, though she reached for my hand somewhere in there. Dad raised his eyebrow at me when we got into the car, still hand in hand, but I ignored him, trying to get my thoughts in line....
A comfortable silence filled the elevator then, though we both knew that the problems were far from over. I don't know when I did, but sometime while we were in the elevator, I had took his hand in mine, and leaned against his side a bit. Our hands remained like that even through the car ride, and so did the silence, though I did catch Mr. McClure's glance at us in the mirror.
The overly cliche electricity and sparks were flowing through my fingers where they were intertwined with Adam's. They had to get it somewhere, didn't they?
Just the small touch between us was more comfortable than I ever had been with Wyatt, because with Wyatt I was always giddy and nervous and self-concious, which I now realized was NOT the way it was supposed to be.
"You do realize Victoria's going to spread rumors, right?" Adam said, while we were lounging across the couch in his living room, watching the ABC Family movies that were stupid but I still loved and he seemed to tolerate, since there was nothing else on.
"You do realize I don't really care anymore?" I smiled serenely. Even though it was going to be more drama than I would ever want to be involved in, it was worth it. I snuggled into his side a little more. "What time is it?"
He took his cell phone off of the side table and flipped it open. "A little after one." He yawned.
"That explains why I'm so tired.... And could you please not do that?! You know yawning is contagious!" I said, yawning two or three times just saying the few sentences.
He kissed my forehead. "Then go to sleep." He whispered, teasing.
"But you'll get uncomfortable sitting up like that." I protested.
"No, I won't, Naomi. I'll be fine. Just go to sleep." He said, draping the afghan that was set across the back of the couch over the both of us.
"Fine." I said, reaching up to kiss his lips before I fell asleep.
Somewhere inbetween consciousness and unconsciousness, I heard him whisper the words "love you", and smiled, knowing that we really were going to work this out.

When I use multiviews, I observe Apache slowing a good 20-30%. I read a lot of 'opinions' on the Internet, and came to believe the slowdown is related to Apache performing an opendir on each hit just to search for candidates matching /^index\.*$/. like the '.htaccess' look-ups, Apache does not cache these look-ups and they are done every single hit. Each of my directories has roughly 1k-5k files on average (just shy of 7k in the largest dir). When I used a type-map, apache appeared much 'snappier' under load and I could still have static content in both html (4.0.1) and xml (1.0; xhtml 1.1). > > Using the type-map, Firefox (1.5) and Safari (2.0.3) are not > > displaying the content inline, they both want to download the > > 'application/x-gzip' instead. > > That's what Content-Type is for.

It was going to be tonight I will ask her, Ill ask her to be mine, Ill ask her to marry me. We were both getting ready in our room she stood in front of the mirror. She looked stunning a simple black dress that made her long red hair stand out. She turned to her side and gave me big puppy eyes and pouted. "Hunny do I look fat because I feel it" she said her voice child like I chuckled. and walked up behind her wrapping my arms around her wait.
"Dont be silly you look stunning"I said trying tomake her feel better. I kissed her on her neck and that sent her into a fit of giggles. I loved her and she was mine I smiled to my self she might be my wife. One day.
We were in a the resturant and I took her hand and she smiled at me I stood up and kneeled next to her and she blushed. "Emily you are my life. You are what makes me want to get up in the morning, and thinking of being without you brings me pain. So I ask you" I open the ring case she gasped and covered her mouth and tears fell "To be my wife and stant by me in life" She nodded and I slipped the wring on her finger it was a blue saphire circled by diaminds on a white gold band. People being to applaosed us and I pulled her into a hug.
That is when my nightmare began The building began to shake glasses were falling over and smashing, I stood up and pulled Emily up to she looked scared and clutched onto me for life I pulled her outside. People were screaming in the streets I starting to panic, but being a teacher I knew I had to stay calm, it was the best thing to do. I grabbed her left hand and pulled her further in to crowed trying to fine out whats going on. "Damien look a the sky" I heard her voice full of panic I looked up the sky was changing to a red, no not yet.
People was pushing and I gripped onto Emilys hand but we were being pulled apart. "EMILY NO PLEASE NO"finnally her hand slipped out of mine and all that was left was our engagment ring I tried to push my way through the crowd it was impossiable.
Someone pushed me and I fell down some steps and as I did a depris blocked the enctrance. I hit my and it was pounding I put my hand to the back of my head it was blood. I cursed to my-self and looked around and a women was slumped on the floor with a dog with her.
I pulled my-self to a corner and darkness welcomed me to a peacefull sleep.
When I got control of my senses again I could smell Bacon, I sighed I guess it was a dream as I sat up the pain soared into my head reminding me of the truth. I had lost my life, my love, my Emily. I groaned I saw a girl at a stove cooking she turned around to look at me her blue eyes full of concern. her dark brown hair was a bit messy she was small but she looked strong.
"Erm hello Im jacob, er sorry I didnt mean to intrude but I got pushed down here when I was walking past and I hit my head sorry" I stood and I felt woosy and fell down again. She was by my side helping me sit down.
"Well you shouldnt be standing up silly I am cooking if your hungry" she smiled her voice was sweet and elegant and full of life. I smiled weakly at her
I heard crumbling in the roof I gasped I heard peoples voices a girl. I thought I need to help pull the debris away, for some reason I wanted lift up my arm and flick my fingers and as I did the debris fell down. "Thank you Jacob" I hard some one call I just stared at the whole as three figures dropped down.
"Did I just do that" I said breathlessly I stared down at my hands I looked at the chair in the corner and I lifted my hand slightly and so did the chair. I gasped and closed my hand into a fist and the chair exploded into pieces and everybody stared at me.
"Sorry" I said weakly 'Well done jacob always making a fool of your-self around new people no wonder your a rubbish teacher' I thought to my-self.

Nope. This post is not about all those [redacted] parking garages. The jewel to which I'm referring is the long-abandoned Osco building just west of downtown. Not only is this [redacted] piece of [redacted] a [redacted] eyesore, but it also happens to be owned by the richest man in town, Stan [redacted] Kroenke.
Recently*, Kroenke narrowly avoided a $25k fine for parking some toys on the old Osco lot. Yes, that rich piece of [redacted] was somehow allowed to illegally park a bunch of bulldozers and cranes on the lot, but I can't get out of a $15 parking ticket for leaving my Ford Escort on Ninth Street for ten minutes past the meter's expiration while I wait for an Elvis Parsley at Main Squeeze. That [redacted] can also leave that eyesore to end all eyesores untouched with nary a fine or reprimand. I guess those are the perks for the world's 440th richest [redacted]. He is the 1%, mother [redacted]s. (To be fair and slightly more accurate, Kroenke was renting the lot to the university for work being done on campus, [redacted] both Peter and Paul simultaneously.)
To further complicate this issue, one has to look at the history of the property. What was there before Osco? The historic irony is that site was "purged" during the early part of the urban renewal period of "shacks" (i.e., poor black people living where visitors could see them) so that the gateway to downtown and to the university would be more appealing. So, now instead of poor black people impolitely showing their poverty to the rest of the world, we have one of the world's richest men letting a dilapidated retail store (that he helped run out of business) disintegrate to the ground. So, the take away to me from that is: it's alright to look at white, rich people's [redacted], but not poor black people's [redacted].
Anyway, my real point was to complain about the current Osco fiasco, not filthy rich jerks with a borderline porn star mustache**. The store that apparently specialized in vitamins and furniture kits(?) closed just over seven years ago. Still, nothing is currently happening at the old Osco building. The good people of Columbia have their ideas for the potential meth lab, but Kroenke sits on the property and the city just lets him.
The state of that building clearly is in violation of city/county health code and clearly no one at the city or county intends to enforce said code. Yet, a college kid puts a couch on his porch or parks on perma-mud to expand a gravel driveway a space and it can cost them hundreds of dollars in tickets and fines.
There are rumblings concerning the use of imminent domain and the rekindling of an urban renewal board to be used to declare part of downtown blighted where current owners don't want to sell, but big developers want to develop. As the god-I-don't-believe-in as my witness and over my rotting my corpse will single-family residential downtown be declared 'blighted' while that [redacted] Osco monstrosity sits there rotting in slow-motion. For this, the Comoian may have to come out of hiding.
People, pay close attention, the entire western corner of the intersection of Broadway/Providence (up to the cemetery on the south and the bank building on the north) are slowly being emptied and those parcels are being aggregated. You all need to understand that a BIG, [REDACTED] retail/commercial development is going to happen on both sides of Broadway sometime in the next 20-30 years. The Osco lot is already part of the Community Improvement District (CID). I'm not sure about the north-side lots, but we need to pay attention for those that are not already C-2 (central business district) asking for that zoning designation. The public will have virtually no input into how that develops thanks to everyone sitting around with their thumbs up their [redacted] while the Special Business District*** cronies got the CID**** pushed through. CoMo will pay for that HUGE.
Ever been to Lincoln, NE's dead downtown? I fear that is our fate. We don't want to be Lincoln [redacted], Nebraska, do we?
So, the next time you drive by that pile of [redacted] once known as "Osco", be sure to think of Kroenke and his cronies in city hall trying to turn us into Lincoln or simply a town of [redacted] empty strip malls. Imagine all the good things that could be done with that plot of land that would be preferable to an empty lot, waiting to provide trust funds for spoiled brats or even to line the pockets of select members of city council in the form of campaign contributions. Let that lot be a reminder of what's really going on in CoMo as we all bask in the dawning of a new year and want to preserve what's good and right with this place. Just don't ignore it, CoMo. We can't let these [redacted] win.
*Well, two weeks ago, actually. I get my news from leftover newspapers in people's yards. I'm too cheap to subscribe to newspapers and am functionally illiterate anyway. So, what would I do with a newspaper once I got my hands on one?
**Interesting tidbit: Although Kroenke's flavor saver is porn-worthy, he isn't married to a porn star like fellow 1%-er and CoMo-fine-avoider, trailer trash developer, and space house aficionado George Gradow.
***The Special Business District, which was a 501C3 that was essentially a department of City government funded through local tax dollars and governed by a city council appointed board. The SBD is in the process of being dissolved and replaced by the CID.
****The CID's a [redacted] travesty, nightmare for downtown. Downtown property owners can now pretty much do whatever the [redacted] they want with little public oversight or input. What was once a little jewel in the middle of nowhere will be turned into milquetoast, boring as all [redacted], suburbanesque piece of Disney bull [redacted] for "the ladies that lunch" in no time. It's disgusting.
Kate and Zac asked me to include this disclaimer so that they don't get blamed for my opinions. That's fine. Unfortunately, I have a terrible memory and keep forgetting to post it. In case you've forgotten, the above are my opinions, not theirs. I can own up to that while maintaining anonymity. So, you should know that The Comoian is part of the Collective meant to provide another perspective on Columbia not currently present in our pages. This perspective – like all the opinions on this website – are not representative of The CoMo Collective, its editors, nor its writers as a whole. Take it for what it is. Leave angry comments in the space below.
Also, the Comoian would like to send a warm thank-you to the Ever-Crabby, Doubter of Professed Communtarian Intentions of the Hyper-Wealthy. Without her knowledge and eloquence, this post/rant would never have been possible.

As a professional brass player I was especially concerned about having my wisdom teeth removed. But my fears were put to rest with Dr. Greenberg's expertise. He was quick, efficient, and exact.

We need Everyone's assistance
Most, if not all, of the Rutgers graduates and students would not like to see the name of our institution changed. We can let our voice be heard.
Please contact your state legislator and let her or she know on no uncertain terms that you disagree with this action and it will effect your vote come election time. Below you will find a link on how to find out your legislator contact information. Please let them know today.
State Legislator by District
Gov. James E. McGreevey created an implementation committee yesterday to detail the prospective merger of Rutgers, the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and the New Jersey Institute of Technology.
By executive order, McGreevey established a Review, Planning and Implementation Steering Committee to employ the recommendations of the Report of the Commission on Health Science, Education and Training, which proposed merging the three universities.
Merger moves forward
Rutgers junior defensive back NATE JONES has been named Co-Special Teams Player of the Year, and first team All-BIG EAST as a kick returner, by the BIG EAST Conference, it was announced today.
Jones was joined on the all-league team by teammate SHAWN SEABROOKS, a second-team All-BIG EAST pick as a defensive back. The All-BIG EAST teams are voted on by the leagues head coaches, who are not permitted to vote for their own players.
Jones Named BIG EAST Co-Special Teams Player of the Year
The Big East announced its honorees for the 2002 season yesterday and two Scarlet Knights were among those recognized for outstanding seasons.
The league's top kickoff return man, RU junior defensive back Nate Jones, shared the conference honor of Special Teams Player of the Year with punter Andy Lee of Pittsburgh.
Pair of Knights earn Big East seasonal recognition
Miami's Ken Dorsey and Willis McGahee were named the Big East offensive co-players of the year Tuesday, while the Hurricanes' Larry Coker was named coach of the year.
The league's coaches also named Temple's Dan Klecko, a Marlboro High School graduate as defensive player of the year. Andy Lee of Pittsburgh and Nate Jones of Rutgers and Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School shared the special teams player of the year award, and Pittsburgh's Larry Fitzgerald was named Big East rookie of the year.
Rutgers' Jones splits Big East award
Nate Jones, a bright spot in Rutgers' otherwise dismal football season, has been named co-special teams player of the year and first team All-Big East as a kick returner.
Rutgers' Jones is honored
Men's Basketball
Rutgers report: For all the talk about how head coach Gary Waters has stressed improved free throw shooting and rebounding, it's not showing for the Knights so far. As a team, Rutgers is shooting 55.5 percent from the foul line, which is even worse than last year's dreadful 58.3 percent.
A look at game with Fordham
A month into the season, many Big East rookies have already made significant contributions, but Rutgers University's newcomers are still finding their way.
Calvin Wooten, Cortez Davis, Adrian Hill and Harry Good have combined for 118 minutes and 28 points in five games this season.
Their limited productivity can be attributed to a couple of factors: Coach Gary Waters' complex system takes time to learn, and, with 10 lettermen returning, minutes are tough to come by
Rutgers' freshmen struggle to adjust
Women's Basketball
The Rutgers University women's basketball team opted for a blue-collar approach to Tuesday night's 52-42 road victory over Temple.
Attempting to avenge last season's 56-51 loss to the Owls at the Louis Brown Athletic Center, the Scarlet Knights went to work on the offensive and defensive glass with extreme aggression. Rutgers out-rebounded Temple 24-12 in the first half and 44-35 in the game to secure a much-needed non-conference win.
Rutgers women sparked by Pondexter
The Rutgers women's basketball team handed Temple its third straight loss last night at the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, defeating the Owls 52-42 behind sophomore guard Cappie Pondexter's 16 points.
This was a low-scoring affair, thanks to the Scarlet Knights (4-2) hustling defense and tenacity on both the offensive and defensive boards. Pondexter and sophomore Chelsea Newton also led the Knights with nine rebounds from their guard positions. The entire RU backcourt, consisting of Pondexter, senior Mauri Horton and Newton, compiled 26 boards as a unit.
RU picks up win vs. Owls
All arms on a wiry frame, Chelsea Newton has had to start answering to "Whitney Houston." Shaking her head at the cruelty of it all, the Rutgers sophomore laughed when reminded Houston is one of the best-selling performers of all time.
Tuesday night, despite a statistically off night, Newton turned in one of her usual intensity-packed performances, wowing the opponents and earning a standing ovation from the traveling fans behind Rutgers' bench. The Scarlet Knights turned back defending Atlantic-10 champs Temple, 52-42, and it was Newton flailing her beanpole body everywhere that made the difference.

Around the Nation
THE MOST LIKELY To Succeed honor does not figure to create much debate at St. Vincent-St. Mary High in Akron, Ohio, this spring. LeBron James would appear to be a lock.
James is the nation's best high school basketball player, maybe ever. He will be the first pick in the 2003 NBA draft. He would have been the first pick in the 2002 NBA draft had he been old enough.
The selling of LeBron James
Type the words "LeBron James" into eBay on Monday and you could chose among 235 separate items relating to the Akron high school basketball phenom -- everything from game tickets in Pittsburgh ($199 for 4) to an autographed basketball ($29.99).
Project reasonable attendance for his St. Vincent-St. Mary regular-season games and James will play in front of over 150,000 fans -- from the sold-out 5,500-seat "home gym" at the University of Akron to however many curious Californians file into UCLA's Pauley Pavilion on Jan. 4. And that's before the expected Ohio state tournament run or the McDonald's All-America game at 20,562-seat Gund Arena in Cleveland.

Kunstmann is a Chilean beer produced in Torobayo, Valdivia. The production began when the German-Chilean family Kunstmann started to brew for personal use in the 1990s, after Valdivia's main brewery Anwandter was destroyed by the 1960 Valdivia earthquake. Since 1997 the beer is sold to the public and today it can be found in most of Chile and is also exported to Germany, United States, Japan, New Zealand, Korea, Argentina and Brazil. Each year Kunstmann organizes the "Bierfest Kunstmann Valdivia" an event with typical German folk music and dance. Dance groups, music bands and sometimes even yodelers from Germany, Austria, Argentina and Brazil are usually invited to perform in the bierfest in addition to local groups. Students at Valdivia's German school, Instituto Alemán Carlos Anwandter, and personnel from Valdivia's German fire station usually collaborates with the event.

The news will send a shiver among backers of Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical Sunset Boulevard which opens tonight. Like Sunset Boulevard, City of Angels is a musical about Hollywood. It has a particularly witty book by Larry Gelbart, who scripted the film Tootsie, and much praised performances by Roger Allum, Henry Goodman and Haydn Gwynne. However, the show has been playing to only 50 per cent of capacity. One reason for the failure might be that it had few memorable tunes, and musical fans were not tempted to go by the excellence of the script, acting and direction. Equally, people who would have enjoyed the wit may not have been natural fans of musicals.
But the pounds 30 top price seats may also have proved forbidding in the recession. The show, which cost pounds 2m to put on, had a possible take of pounds 200,000 a week but needed to fill 60 per cent of the house to break even. Roger Berlind, the American producer of the show, said yesterday: 'After receiving universally rave reviews no one has been able to account for the poor audience attendance.'
Sunset Boulevard, which opens at the Adelphi tonight, has cost pounds 3m to put on, but has already sold pounds 4m worth of tickets. But a spokesman for the production said yesterday: 'Even that sort of advance doesn't guarantee an automatic success these days.'

Observed: 23rd July 2012 By: creaturesnapper

Other observations of Ruddy Darter (Sympetrum sanguineum)
"Yellow-winged" darter.
Species other than Yellow-winged Darter can sometimes have extensive yellow in the wings (which it seems like you know, otherwise you wouldn't have suggested it might be a Common Darter).
The all black legs rule out both Common and Yellow-winged Darter, and female Yellow-winged Darters also have a continuous dark line along the side of the abdomen (which would just about be visible here). In other European species, except Red-veined, this line is broken into 'dashes'.
It's not that common to see Ruddy Darters with this much yellow in the wings, but it can sometimes be this extensive.
24 July 2012 - 3:37pm creaturesnapper
Thanks Roy,for sorting out the ID ,it can get quite confusing.
It would be a lot simple if variation like this didn't occur!
Field guides often over simplify things as well, concentrating only on the features that can normally be used to separate species. This is understandable though, because a lack of space prevents all possible variation being described, and most people using the guides will probably come across very few 'unusual' examples like this.

All Product Details
The book will include dozens of photos from King's childhood, her own family, and behind-the-scenes images from her performances over the years.
When King embarked on her Living Room Tour in 2004, she re-created onstage the atmosphere that millions had come to expect from the slew of albums she recorded from the 1970s onward. Tapestry, her breakthrough 1971 album, not only became a bestseller and a benchmark for women's achievements in the music industry but also introduced the down-to-earth, optimistic and liberated worldview of a woman with some timely stories to tell. King's trajectory mirrored that of many of her fellow musical peers. Bitten by the music bug at an early age and subsequently converted to rock 'n' roll in the '50s, she began writing her own songs, landing a record deal at the age of 15. She would experience far greater success, however, when she and co-songwriter Gerry Goffin turned out hit after hit for such artists as Aretha Franklin, the Shirelles and the Monkees. Having married Goffin when she was 17, King spent most of the '60s balancing her career with her responsibilities as a wife and mother. Change was in the air, though, and when her marriage deteriorated, she set off for Los Angeles to seek her own voice. That voice comes through strongly on every page of this memoir, an engaging assortment of recollections comprising a journey that started in her working-class Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn, took her to Manhattan and Laurel Canyon and saw her escape what Joni Mitchell called "the star maker machinery" to settle in rural Idaho. In one of the book's best sections, King explains her decision to retreat from fame in the mid '70s, chronicling the joys and sorrows of going "back to the land" as well as the tempestuous relationships she had with two men during this period. She is also refreshingly candid about her four marriages.
A warm, winning read that showcases baby-boomer culture at its best.--Kirkus Reviews
The audiobook includes a bonus PDF of pictures, an original piano piece, a cappella performances, and a video conversation with the author are included.
King, in addition to writing more than 100 top-selling songs has recorded 25 solo albums. In 2007 she and longtime collaborator James Taylor reunited and recorded Live at the Troubadour. Released in 2010 the album debuted at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and The Troubadour Reunion Tour became the second highest grossing Tour of that year. She has won numerous lifetime achievement honors and has been inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, "Hit Parade" Hall of Fame, and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Carole King continues to entertain audiences the world over. She released her most recent album in December, 2011, Carole King: A Holiday Carole, to rave reviews.

It was a familiar scene at the U.S. Supreme Court: states argued that allowing certain couples to marry would impose long-term harms upon children, families and social institutions. They contended that it is not the judiciary's place to scrutinize restrictions upon the freedom to marry. And they fell back upon the claim that the definition of marriage is a longstanding tradition.

I hate talking this way - sounds really cruel but it's a legitimate question on how to prevent innocent death in a deadly assault, so:
I've only seen a few mentions of this but I happened to meet in a gun store 2 Doctors who both were doing Trauma Room specialties, same hospital. Told me a number of interesting things from the angle of medical info and results of shootings they had seen and their own knowledge of the human body.
They both recommended hitting the pelvis of the attacker with your shots: one main reason: if the point is quick stops and it's at close distances AND with but a handgun no matter what the caliber, it's a very dicey affair succeeding at this. You may or may not effect a quick stop. The attacker may or may not be able to continue the attack if shot. Lots of IFs.
But the doctors said a hit in the pelvis that cracks or breaks it will HAVE to produce a quick-stop. Because it's anatomically impossible to stay on your feet with a broken/cracked pelvis, the structure of the human body doesn't allow it. They added the pain from such a wound is really agonal, and even if a weapon is near or in his hand the attacker would be so mentally immobilized by the pain there would no attention on using it or holding on to it.
Any thoughts on this? Radical change from where we practice aiming. Perhaps it could be worked into initial sequence of shots: torso, head, pelvis - or torso, pelvis, head. Then again, we are supposed to stop shooting when the attack is over. Never understood theoretically if that means stop after one and check quickly. But - another topic there...
Anyway, sorry for the grizzly post but we are trying to save innocent life.

"Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn." - C.S. Lewis
Just read an article from Massad Ayoob on this very technique. He also said that if you do have to fire on someone, hitting them in the pelvis can produce an almost instant knock down due to it being the main support of the body's frame. He also went on to the mental aspect of pointing a gun at some guys goodies. Some thugs think it a badge of honor in effect to be shot and like to show off their battle scars, knowing full well often times a shot to the torso can be survived. But NO MAN would dare make a move on someone holding their very manhood in their sights.
Don"t let stupid be your skill set....
And Shepards we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee,
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, So that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command,
And we shall flow a river forth to Thee, And teeming with souls shall it ever be,
Yes I have heard of this before and in my training within the military, we are taught that shooting at the pelvis will normally stop and attacker. The government have sent me to various type of small arms training with many former and retired Special Operations types who have all taught to shoot for the pelvic area as one of the areas to target. Their statements mirror what these doctors are saying, shooting the pelvis will likely seriously damage the area making it impossible for someone to walk. Now even though they may not be able to walk, they will still have use of their arms to shoot a gun. Depending on drugs, motivations to kill you, etc they still would be a threat.
Clint Smith will also advise to shoot for the pelvis IF that's what's available. It moves less than other parts of the body comparatively speaking. It CAN stop an attacker. IF the pelvic bone or head of the femur is broken.
As has been said previously, lots of "IF's."
Don't try to be fancy. Shoot for the center of mass. The world is full of decent people. Criminals we can do without. -- Jeff Cooper (19202006)
The attack is over when the BG either runs submits or falls.
The good Doctors are high on their anatomy scores but not so much on their ballistics I dont think.
True you cant stand with a broken pelvis. Breaking it with a handgun is entirely something else. Bullets from a handgun dont usually shatter a sternum. They either hit it and stop or punch a hole in it and keep going.
Pelvic bone is a lot sturdier than a sternum. From what research ive done on this after hearing about it what usually happens is the bullet either hits it stops, hits it and is diverted or hits it and punches a hole thru it, rarely from what I can read does a handgun round actually break it to the point it isnt weight bearing anymore.
I guess it could happen and probably having a pistol aimed at their junk might have a bigger mental impact but the rest is pretty iffy.
You dont have to believe a train is coming. Itll run over you anyway.
I think the idea of a pelvis shot is that it is a low angle shot which would extend any pass-through rounds into the ground and lower risk to innocent bystanders....it's a legitimate question on how to prevent innocent death in a deadly assault, so:
The 'pelvis shot' has long been established in the Failure To Stop category. It can be seen as a follow up target if the first burst to (com of whatever was available) did not stop or immobilize an attacker. As far as someone ceasing all hostilities due to pain because they were shot in the pelvis, I'm not buying that as an absolute. Search enough Ayoob Files, and other shooting related research, and you'll likely find folks shot in all kindsa painful places who continued to fight. The only sure, absolute, one shot stop, is that which destroys the CNS.
What you'll soon see here is folks decrying the PS (pelvis shot) as the first alternative. I agree. Unless that's the first presentable target. Just as a quick example, you were just walking down a street, minding your own business, and an attack initiated from an alley as you passed, and your attacker was over head wielding a machete. As you drew, and likely ducked down, a PS from retention would be a very do-able shot. IF the attacker did not fall due to broken bones, or pain, and the threat advanced or continued, then you would likely fire up the thoracic area until a stop is achieved, or you realize that due to adrenaline dump and whatever else is in his system, he ain't feelin' it. Or you haven't hit the CNS. So, you may go to a Failure to Stop sequence, and shoot him in the face/head. Or, if both parties are moving, as I'm betting they are, you again attempt to break down his structure and mobility with PS.
Said all that to say all this: shoot the center of mass of whatever the best target is at the time, until you get a better target. Then, shoot that till the problem is solved.
Where exactly is the point of aim in a clothed person for the pelvis? Seems like a large area and where to spot the small "bullseye" vague when you're seeing pants and belts, shirts hanging down, maybe a jacket etc - least to me it does.
I think it is a perfect way to stop an attack with or without a gun . All self defense hand to hand or feet to groin will double over most men and a possible way to get away to fight or live again . Even Primates go after the groin parts .
Christian Family Man
Perhaps it's something to consider but I just can't see myself going for a pelvis shot off gate. If the situation I found myself in made it the best available shot, sure, but it wouldn't be my first choice of place to aim in attempts to save my life or others.

Once again, we find that Mother's Day, May 13th is just around the corner. At First Congregational Church of Wauwatosa, 1511 Church Street (414-258-7375) (corner of Church St. and Menomonee River Pkwy), this day has come to be associated with special music in worship.
A couple of highlights included this year are a spirited African song for children's voices and percussion entitled "O Sifuni Mungu." Among the pieces to be presented by the adult Choir of First Church is a movement from a larger multi-movement piece entitled "The World Come of Age." Written to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of World War II, this work is based on the writings, imprisonment, and martyrdom of German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
And finally, the program concludes with a rarely heard folk hymn, "Bright Canaan" and a very energetic setting of the Afro-American spiritual "Ev'ry Time I Feel The Spirit," arranged by William Dawson. Mr. Dawson served for many years as the conductor of the choir of the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. As much as any one individual, Mr. Dawson nearly single handedly gave all of us in the United States the gift of the black spiritual, which has become such a significant part of our nation's musical fabric.
Plan now to be at First Church on Sunday, May 13 at 10 AM to celebrate those closest to you -- your family. Join us in honoring all mothers and families. It will be a meaningful and joyous day of celebration.
