Company Honored with 2012 International Service Excellence Award
Broan-NuTone Shares U.S.-based Customer and Technical Service Experience Through New "Ask Us" Program
HARTFORD, Wis., January 22, 2013 – Broan-NuTone®, the leader in residential ventilation for ENERGY STAR® qualified products, has announced the launch of its new "Ask Us" customer and technical service program. This concerted effort by the 80+ year old company to promote easy access to its acclaimed U.S.-based customer and technical services program is just another reason why customers and homeowners prefer BROAN, NuTone and BEST branded products.
The BROAN, NuTone and BEST "Ask Us" program encourages contractors, electricians, builders, architects, designers and homeowners to pose their questions to the over 65 local customer service and technical service professionals. From selecting the right product for the project, to installing it properly, to maintaining it for optimum performance, this team, and their support team of over 2000 other Broan-NuTone employees, are passionate about providing the assistance needed resulting in a code-complying, comfortable and healthy home.
In addition, Broan-NuTone supports existing and future customers through online how-to videos, proprietary online specification tools and many other additional problem-solving resources. Located in Hartford, Wisconsin and Kenwood, Ohio, the Broan-NuTone customer service and technical service teams have more than 1, 200 years of cumulative service experience.
"We receive praise for the efforts of our team and the quality of our products every day, " states Dave Pringle, president and CEO, Broan-NuTone LLC. "And I could not be prouder of each one of our associates and their commitment to serving our customers."
Broan-NuTone recently received a prestigious 2012 International Service Excellence Award, topping 38 other companies in the Medium Business category (organizations with between 501 and 3, 999 employees) to rank number one. Sponsored by the Customer Service Institute of America (CSIA) and the International Council of Customer Service Organizations (ICCSO), this exclusive award recognizes top organizations around the world that achieve world-class customer service excellence. Previous winners of the award include E*TRADE, OnStar, Safelite Autoglass and Guardian Insurance.
This honor was based on Broan-NuTone's proven record of consistently exceeding the rigorous criteria of the International Customer Service Standard (ICSS), which was developed to provide a comprehensive and practical framework for assisting organizations in delivering consistently high levels of service. Broan-NuTone demonstrated the highest level of competence in key judging criteria that included the breadth, depth and proven results of the company's customer service approach, client involvement in the company's strategic direction and continuous measurement and improvement of client service delivery based on ICSS criteria.
"Our research showed that customers put significant emphasis on the value of strong customer and technical service and even more so on the value of that service being USA based, " says Richard Palmersheim, group vice president, marketing, Broan-NuTone LLC. "Customers are also looking for tools that allow them to confidently make product selections. The tools we offer set us apart from others in the industry."
The company recently launched three new online tools to help its customers:
- The CodeKey™ Whole House Mechanical Ventilation Specifier helps builders, contractors and architects select code- and green building program-compliant ventilation solutions for the home by encompassing all of the growing number of statewide codes that affect ventilation standards into one user-friendly industry-first online tool.
- The Range Hood Make-Up Air Specifier Tool helps builders, contractors, code officials and other building professionals find code-compliant solutions for range hood make-up air
- The BEST Hood Height Calculator helps simplify the task of choosing the range hood that best fits one's kitchen space.
As part of its multifaceted "Ask Us" program, Broan-NuTone plans to introduce many more how-to videos and online tools throughout 2013. In addition, the Ask Us logo with toll free phone numbers and email addresses will be incorporated into packaging, displays, literature, websites and other touch points for easy access by customers and potential customers to the Broan, NuTone and BEST customer and technical service teams.

Maltese pigeons for longest race ever
Maltese racing pigeons will compete against 26,000 others from all over Europe in a race from Barcelona, the first time they will be taking part in such a long race.
Maltese pigeon fanciers have been competing regularly in races from Pozzallo, Syracuse, Reggio Calabria, Taranto, Bari and Manfredonia. But the longest race they have so far taken part in is the one from Manfredonia, where pigeons have to fly a distance of 660 kilometres. The race from Barcelona covers 1,232 kilometres.
Some 25 enthusiasts have sent 35 pigeons to Barcelona. If the weather conditions are good, the pigeons will be released tomorrow.
The other birds are from The Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany and the UK. The Maltese pigeons were taken to the San Gwann racing pigeon club and then sent to Belgium, where all the pigeons were collected. From there the pigeons were taken to Barcelona.
The winning pigeons fetch very high prices and are bought by fanciers who strive to breed the best pigeons from them. Alfred Micallef from the San Gwann racing pigeon club, who encouraged fanciers to send pigeons to the race, said last year's winning pigeon was sold to a Japanese fancier for £108,000.
Mr Micallef said it would be very tough for Maltese pigeons because first they have to separate themselves from the huge flock, most of which will fly in a north easterly direction, while Maltese pigeons will have to fly in a south easterly direction. Secondly, Maltese pigeons will have to fly across a long stretch of sea, he said.
Vince Barbara, a pigeon fancier, said about 45 per cent of pigeons usually return from long-haul races. Ten per cent return within two days and the rest over a period of time.
"Weather plays an important part. The satisfaction one gets from seeing a pigeon trained and return to the loft following a race is hard to describe," Mr Barbara said.
Pigeon racing in Malta was introduced by the British in the 1940s and there are still a number of pigeon fanciers in their 80s who were among the pioneers of the sport on the island.

More About American Pit Bull Terrier Breed
- Do your research – find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
- Decide what you can handle – before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
- Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies – It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet.
- Start looking… Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
- Meet in person. Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
Pillow - American Staffordshire Terrier Dog For Adoption

rescue Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier Sex: Male Male Location: USAPosted Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier. My name is Pillow, and I am a two-year-old Pit mix. I have been in foster care looking for my forever home for almost a year and a half! I am a good boy, but I have had a rough past. My foster parents saved me from the "kill list" from New York City Animal Control. While they love me dearly, they know that the right thing is to find my perfect forever home. The good news is I am super snuggly! I LOVE LOVE LOVE humans and attention! All I want to do is spend every possible minute with you, whether it is doing chores around the house or watching movies. I am also very active and playful and I am content playing games like tug of war with you or sprinting around the yard with my favorite toy a "jolly ball". The bad news is while I love people, I would PREFER TO BE YOUR ONLY PET because cats are super fun to chase and I don't really know how to interact with other dogs. I could potentially live with the right canine sibling as I did in my original home, but with patience and training. I would really love a home with lots of room for me to run and people who have time to give me lots of attention and love. I could also live in a home with an active family looking for a new running or swimming partner. I am an all terrain kind of dog as I love running, swimming, hiking mountains and curling up on the couch. As long as I have a healthy outlet for my energy I am very well mannered and calm in the house. If you are looking for a constant companion, look no further!Tags:

Planning For Equity
As planners, we are familiar with the notorious legacy of various planning practices or initiatives such as urban renewal's disproportionately negative impact on minority populations, or more recently, the foreclosure crisis' disparate impact on elderly, low-income, and minority populations.
Carolina Planning Journal
Planning For Equity (Volume 38 - 2013)
We frequently learn and examine retrospectively the ways in which planning contributed to negative outcomes for certain disenfranchised groups. However, there are many opportunities for us to think critically about the ways in which our practices benefit or hurt others, and to plan proactively for places that are inclusive and create opportunity for all residents.
The topic of planning for equity is currently more salient than ever. The recent economic downturn raises concerns about widening disparities in opportunity and wealth. In this challenging atmosphere of diminished resources, the planning field must consider innovative ideas and practices to provide equitable outcomes and the equitable delivery of services to people of all socioeconomic backgrounds.
In soliciting articles for the journal this year, we were asked the question of how we define "equity". Rather than seek to define equity in one concrete way, we sought to embrace the diverse angles from which you could approach its definition and application. Issues surrounding equity span across every aspect of planning, including housing, transportation, food access, health, economic development, and neighborhood stabilization.
Editors: Ashley Williams and Bill King
The 2013 issue of Carolina Planning is available for purchase.
|VIEWPOINTS ON PLANNING FOR EQUITYKrumholz, Norm; Clavel, PierreTwo expert planners offer their viewpoints on how planners can use their role and influence in "speaking truth to power" and providing equitable outcomes for communities.
|A STUDY OF INNOVATIVE INTEGRATION STRATEGIESSteephen, Anisha; Gill, Hannah; Nguyen, MaiWhile local governments are making efforts to create more inclusive social policies, little is known about what these policies are and how they are developed. To better understand municipal immigrant integration practices, my Master's Thesis, Building Integrated Communities: Innovative Bureaucratic Incorporation Strategies for North Carolina, completed in May 2012 examined integration using two methods: 1) analyzing strategies local jurisdictions employ across the country to integrate immigrants and 2) presenting a case study to better understand the contextual, structural, and institutional factors of a two-year strategic planning process to develop an immigrant integration plan in three local jurisdictions in North Carolina, a new immigrant destination. From this analysis, I gleaned practical recommendations for other local governments interested in developing similar immigrant integration initiatives that will be discussed in this article.
|THE POLITICS OF CITY BUILDING: PRO-GROWTH PLANNING REGIMES AND EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF INFRASTRUCTURE Brock, Tim; Crick, JeffNeoliberal governance and pro-growth planning regimes divide the urban form into small patches of private development. This results in a fragmentation of infrastructure and an increase in sociospatial inequalities. City planners and policymakers evaluate the value of urban infrastructure projects based on economic development potential, including anticipated economic revenues and return on investment. Because of this, infrastructure and service distribution becomes clustered in commercial districts, which have the greatest potential for economic growth. Drawing on the concepts of 'exchange value' and 'use value', the authors critique the conventional economic evaluation criteria for infrastructure and services projects. Exploring the role of city planners in the context of neoliberal governance, this article highlights the infrastructural inequity that results from growth-oriented planning. The authors present transit oriented development as an example of pro-growth planning and suggest new planning obligations and evaluation processes that incorporate the everyday uses of public infrastructure projects.
|COMMUNITY REVITALIZATION, CIVIL RIGHTS, AND THE LOW INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDIT PROGRAMJulian, ElizabethThe Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program is the latest federal low income housing production program to be challenged by civil rights advocates for perpetuation of racial segregation by failing to expand housing opportunity outside of low income, distressed, minority concentrated areas. The LIHTC statute encourages the use of this low income housing resource in low income areas, at least where the investment would contribute to community revitalization according to a concerted plan. The paper presents original calculations based on existing data as applied to measures of community opportunity and distress utilized by two federal agencies which raise questions about the efficacy of LIHTC investment as a revitalizing tool in highly distressed census tracts, even if approved as part of a concerted community revitalization plan. The paper argues for national standards and guidance for state agencies which insure that the benefits of revitalization are indeed afforded to the residents of distressed communities, who will otherwise continue to suffer the dual harms of racial segregation: separate and unequal.
|PLANNING FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE IN CALIFORNIA: SOME OBSERVATIONSBarrett, CarolThe American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP) Code of Ethics includes an aspirational responsibility for planners to seek social justice. However, the Code is silent on how this work is to be done. In many communities, planners are enjoined from pursuing equity objectives. In other places, the social component of community planning is being addressed in a meaningful way. This article explores how several California entities are responding to this challenge to the planning profession. These approaches can be models for others seeking to embrace a more socially just model for community planning.

Renault Alpine Leaked Ahead of Monaco GP Debut
Initially rumored to be based on a Nissan GT-R, the Renault Alpine has been reborn and a lone photo has leaked ahead of the sports car's planned debut at the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend.
New reports suggest the car is actually based on a tube-frame Megane Trophy race car while using a 400 hp Nissan VQ V6.
Styling for the modern-era Alpine is familiar, borrowing heavily from the Renault DeZir concept, which first bowed at the 2010 Paris Motor Show.
While no details are yet available, the car is expected to deliver performance through light weight, though it won't be a stripped down machine.
Celebrating 50 years since the original Renault Alpine was created, look for more exciting details and photos as we approach the weekend's race in Monaco.

Rotate usually carry a 1911, but I rotate my Glocks, Walthers and Sigs but always pocket carry my 642 CT.
I used to rotate my two Kimbers and my Glock-36 (prefer .45')...after a point shooting course, I decided to narrow my carry to my Glock-36.
Could I continue to alternate, sure...but I now prefer my Glock-36, what a gun!

Through generationsthe power has descended,now weaker, now stronger.And which way did thepower run in the four-year-oldin the garden, playingwith a pie plate?
It was an old house not far from the coast, and had descended generation by generation to the women of the Putnam family. Progress literally went by it: a new four-lane highway had been built two hundred yards from the ancient lilacs at the doorstep. Long before that, in the time of Cecily Putnam's husband, power lines had been run in, and now on cold nights the telephone wires sounded like a concert of cellos, while inside with a sound like the breaking of beetles, the grandmother Cecily moved through the walls in the grooves of tradition.
Simone Putnam, her granddaughter; Nina Putnam, her great-granddaughter; the unbroken succession of matriarchs continued, but times the old woman thought that in Simone it was weakened, and she looked at the four-year-
In a house that the Putnam women have lived in for hundreds of years, an old woman talks with her granddaughter about the power the family's women have had over the years. The power to make things happen over a distance. And about the weakness of the men they married. The danger is that the granddaughter's husband is too strong, and the great-granddaughter is too ordinary.
Nice characterizations of everyone involved (even the husband, who never appears,) and a dazzling ending.

Title (German) Isolationskoordination für elektrische Betriebsmittel in Niederspannungsanlagen - Teil 3: Anwendung von Beschichtungen, Eingießen oder Vergießen zum Schutz gegen Verschmutzung (IEC 60664-3:2003 + A1:2010); Deutsche Fassung EN 60664-3:2003 + A1:2010
Title (English) Insulation coordination for equipment within low-voltage systems - Part 3: Use of coating, potting or moulding for protection against pollution (IEC 60664-3:2003 + A1:2010); German version EN 60664-3:2003 + A1:2010
Document type: Standard
Publication date: 2010-10
Part 3 of DIN EN 60664 applies to configurations which use coating, potting or moulding for protection against pollution. This allows a reduction of clearances and creepage distances which are determined with the methods described in Part 1 or Part 5. This standard describes the requirements and tests for two types of protection: - protection Type 1 improves the microenvironmental conditions of the parts protected by this type; - protection Type 2 is regarded as being similar to solid insulation. The standard also applies to all types of coated printed circuit boards, including the surface of the interior layers of multilayer printed circuit boards, substrates or similarly protected configurations. In the case of multilayer printed circuit boards, the distances between the inner layers are determined by the requirements for solid insulation contained in Part 1. This standard only deals with lasting protection configurations, however it does not deal with configurations intended for service or repair. The methods in this standard apply to functional insulation, basic insulation, supplementary and uprated insulation. The responsible Committee is K 123 "Isolationskoordination für Niederspannungs-Betriebsmittel" ("Insulation coordination for low-voltage equipment") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.

As you know, I grew up in Green Bay where eating exotic meant trying that new lasagna-flavored Hamburger Helper. Eating Chinese meant La Choy chop suey in a can, I'm telling you, Green Bay, Wisconsin in 1982 was WHITE.
When I went to art school in Minneapolis, my gal friends BLEW MY MIND when they took me out for Thai food. It was the first dish I tried from Thailand, and the last dish I tried from Thailand. It was cheap and delicious and went well with beer.
(How funny, I did a search for "Thai Beer" and a Wisconsin newspaper site is the second listing. How times have changed.)
Tried this recipe straight out of the Gourmet Cookbook a few times now and each time I make it even better.
A kettle's worth of boiling water
2 tablespoons tamarind (comes off what they call a "pliable block" but look in your grocery hole near the asian cuisine, it's usually there)
3 tablespoons fish sauce (super cheap, super stinky, find it near the Asian section)
3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
pinches of salt
1 package rice noodles
Canola/vegetable/any kind but olive oil for the pan
2 eggs, lightly beaten
6 garlic cloves, chopped
3 shallots (or half an onion) chopped
1/2 pound peeled medium shrimp cut in half
1/2 pound plain extra firm tofu, cut into cubes roughly the same size as the shrimp (1/2 inch?)
2 1/2 cups bean sprouts, rinsed and dried
8 scallions cut into 1″ pieces
1/2 cup crushed peanuts
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
Ready? Steady? Rock.
Put the kettle on to boil the water. Break off 2 tablespoonsish of tamarind from that block I told you about. Put it in one of those Pyrex measuring cups.
When the water is boiling, pour it over those gloppy two tablespoons of tamarind and mush with a fork. Let it sit for three minutes.
During those three minutes, put the fish sauce and sugars into a small saucepan, heat on low.
Pour the tamarind mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into the small saucepan. Push on the gunk to make sure all the tamarindy goodness gets through. Stir until the sugars dissolve and remove from heat.
Those beaten eggs?
Cook them.
Put 1/2 that oil in a giant wok or frying/saute pan and cook the eggs until firm.
Take them out of the pan and chop into thinnish pieces. Put those pieces into a big bowl.
Cut everything else.
Finely chop the garlic.
Chop the shallots.
Cut up the shrimp.
Cut the tofu.
Wash and dry the bean sprouts.
Cut the green onions.
Crush the peanuts.
Pull the red pepper flakes from the cupboard.
Place the rice noodles in a bowl and pour the rest of hot water from the kettle over the noodles. The noodles should sit in this for about 5 minutes.
Heat up the oil in the now empty giant pan, add the garlic and shallots, give 'em a good toss. Add the tofu and don't touch it while it gets a nice brown on it. Add the shrimp. Once the shrimp is barely cooked through, take it out of the pan and add it to the eggs in the big bowl.
Heat the now empty giant pan to high heat until hot. Hott.
Add tamarind mixture and bring it to a boil.
Add noodles and let them absorb some of that tamarindy goodness for about two minutes.
Add the egg/shrimp/tofu/shallot/garlic mixture,
add the scallions, add most of the bean sprouts,
add all the red pepper flakes,
add most of the peanut smashings and
toss toss toss
like the Steve Miller Band itself was directing you to do so.
Mound it on a platter, top with the rest of the bean sprouts, peanuts and lime wedges.
And it's even better the next day.

On Wednesday afternoon, September 25th, the Sheriff's Office made an unusual arrest at the Baxter County Court Complex. SHAWN EUGENE AUSTIN, 36 years old of Midway, was taken into custody on a misdemeanor charge of Obstructing Governmental Operations after he attempted to substitute bottled urine for his own urine during a court-ordered drug screen.
SHAWN AUSTIN was appearing before Circuit Judge Shawn Womack on a Contempt of Court proceeding. As part of the proceeding, AUSTIN and another person connected with the case were ordered to submit to a urinalysis drug screen test while at the Court Complex.
A Probation Officer was assigned the task of escorting AUSTIN to the restroom so he could provide a urine sample. During the second attempt to obtain a sample, the Probation Officer discovered that AUSTIN had concealed a plastic container of urine in his private area, which was duct-taped to his scrotum.
The Court Bailiff, Deputy David Estes, was summoned to assist, and he subsequently arrested SHAWN AUSTIN for Obstructing Governmental Operations after the completion of the court proceeding.
SHAWN AUSTIN was transported to the Detention Center for booking and was released after posting bond in the amount of $240. He will appear in District Court on October 13th.

I have BT4 beta installed.
I'd like to turn off the sound in Kismet.
Doers anyone know how to do this?
Thank you very much

At least you have sound. Running the live cd, there's sound. Once I do a full install, no sound... Yea, /usr/etc/kismet.conf is where you change your settings. Look for the sound=true part.
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69
when kismet starts you can press "m" to mute it
Thanks guys, worked a treat.
Sorry to hear the Barry, I know how frustrating these things can be. I'm running of a persistent USB install.
again, many thanks

Just announced on our show – @Real_T_Mac has retired from the NBA. — ESPN First Take (@ESPN_FirstTake) August 26, 2013 Tracy McGrady, who spent the past four years trying to make us forget how supremely talented he really was, has decided he's had enough, and is quitting the NBA. McGrady started his career in Toronto, where he and his cousin, Vince Carter, took turns shattering the hearts of fans there who saw so, SO much athletic potential in that tandem. They were only paired for two years before TMac went to Orlando, and became one of the deadliest scorers in the game. Over the following eight years, some of those with Houston, he averaged about 26.3 points per game. In the 2002-'03 season, McGrady put up a PER of 30.3. To put that into perspective, LeBron James' PER this past season was 31.6, and 30.7 the year before when Miami won its first title. He averaged more than 30 points per game in four straight playoffs from '01 to '05. But the sleepy-eyed scoring machine never could lead his team beyond the first round of the playoffs. Injuries became as much a part of McGrady's career as his ability to score points in bunches. He had back, shoulder, and knee ailments throughout his career, robbing us of some of his offensive prowess. His later years saw him holding onto the game as he bounced from city to city, and even to China. He played for seven NBA teams, finally sniffing some sort of playoff success as a bench mainstay with the San Antonio Spurs as they went to seven games against the champion Miami Heat. It's been a long road for TMac. It's hard to remember that he was virtually unstoppable for such a long stretch. The last few years have been spent dulling the shine on his star, but there is little doubt that McGrady was one of THE guys in the NBA over the early-to-mid 2000's. He was so good, that even a few years of single-digit scoring numbers only managed to bring his career scoring average down to slightly under 20. The next stop for McGrady will likely be Springfield. He is one of the biggest "preps-to-pros" success stories, and he should be remembered as such. [follow]

Confused - Zone Heats up but no pressure reading on external pressure gauge & no flow
I have a two zone hydronic heating system. I changed out the pump and and purged the lines. On the 1st zone I purged the zone and pressurized they line to 15 psi. On the 2nd zone (upstairs), I opened the drain valve and no water came out. I added water until about 20psi and stopped. I turned on the heat anyway and had the 2nd zone call for heat. All the radiators were heating but when I opened the drain valve water was emptying. After a few days the psi on the boiler dropped to zero again. I can't find any leaks.
Why is there heat in the pipes but I can't detect any pressure using an external gauge or purge the line?[IMG]http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/577/oth5.jpg/[/IMG]
can you isolate each zone? does each zone have have a separate draw off? If so close each zone and open valve and draw off for the same zone. attach a hose or get a couple of buckets get a flow the water through the zone until all of the air is pushed out and you get a good stream. You can let the pressure get as high as 25-30 lbs when purging. shut of the valves and do the same to the other zone. If it is a big house or has a lot of radiation it make take a while and 15lbs may not be enough initially to over come the existing air in the line.When yo get a good flow turn of water and let pressure drop to around 12-15 pounds reopen all the valves and turn the heat on.
If you have automatic air elimination (in some form) on the system the pressure may be dropping over time due to trapped air being released. If the system has an automatic make up water system on it the air leaving should be replaced by water and the pressure drop shouldn't be happening.

text: Remembering Andrew The Old Cul-de-Sac Where Hurricane Survivors Became Family By Kelley Mitchell & Trina Sargalski • Aug 9, 2012 Lisa Mongelia We've been listening to your stories and memories of Hurricane Andrew and life afterward. Many people have told us that one of their strongest memories from after the storm is how neighbors–who might have usually just walked from their car to their door without saying hello–banded together. In one Cutler Bay neighborhood, people were already friendly and helpful. As the storm was coming, they helped each other put up shutters. But after the storm, the neighbors became a kind of surrogate family. The Jock By Kenny Malone • Aug 9, 2012 Florida State Archives We're psyched to be able to share a piece of archival Hurricane Andrew ephemera from a familiar voice for some South Florida radio listeners. Joe Johnson has been a DJ at Majic 102.7 for the last 25 years. He hosts the nationally syndicated "Beatle Brunch" show. Kindness Awards By Laura Isensee • Aug 3, 2012 WLRN One of the themes that's emerged as we commemorate the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Andrew, is how the storm inspired a lot of good intentions, as well as just pure kindness. In 2002, Homestead sought to commemorate the tenth year anniversary of the storm. The area had been, by far, the hardest hit during the storm. Judy Waldman was on the Homestead City Council the year Homestead was planning the commemoration. She said what struck her most about the time following the hurricane was the way people had banded together and helped their neighbors and strangers. One Tough Little Girl By Sammy Mack & Luc Cohen • Aug 1, 2012 Luc Cohen For Susan Holtzman, the really terrifying parts of Hurricane Andrew didn't begin until the day after the storm. Susan was nine months pregnant at Baptist Hospital in Kendall. It was the day before she was due to give birth. She compares what she saw to a movie: Lost and Found By Luc Cohen • Jul 27, 2012 Hurricane Andrew: Path of Destruction When Hurricane Andrew hit, Debbie Wehking from Kendall was relieved that the people in her life were okay, but as the years went by, Wehking started to miss some of the things Andrew took away. It's only as time has past that I've realized that little things can have an important sentimental value. We asked you what you lost during Hurricane Andrew that was of sentimental value. WLRN-Miami Herald News intern, Luc Cohen, produced this story about what listeners lost during the storm. The Flamingo Photo By Arianna Prothero • Jul 26, 2012 Ron Magill One of the most iconic images of Hurricane Andrew is a photograph of flamingos, huddling on their toothpick legs in a tiled bathroom. Ron Magill, now communications director for Zoo Miami, snapped that picture after he and other staff (of then Miami Metrozoo) rounded up the flamingos and put them in the bathroom for safety. I remember thinking, gosh, you know, this hurricane better come after all this work because I'm working my butt off and it better not be for nothing. The Green Blotch: Hurricane Andrew Through A Six-Year-Old's Eyes By Trina Sargalski & Daniel Rivero • Jul 12, 2012 Danny Rivero Danny Rivero is our social media editor here at WLRN. You don't hear his voice on the radio, but Danny's is the voice of WLRN on Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr. My Mother's Hands By Geoffrey Philp • Jul 6, 2012 Geoffrey Philp Geoffrey Philp shared his story and poem about an old transistor radio with Kenny Malone on WLRN. Philp inherited that radio from his mother, who carried it with her from home to home, even as they moved in Jamaica and later, around Florida. It was the radio he listened to during Hurricane Andrew. Even though the radio no longer works, Philp can't bring himself to get rid of it. Philp is a poet, novelist, playwright and English professor at Miami-Dade College. Below is an homage he wrote to his mother. My Mother's Hands by Geoffrey Philp Pages« first ‹ previous 1 2

I'm a little embarrassed about how much I wear flip flops. But, not embarrassed enough to stop apparently – because I wear them every. single. day. Even in the winter, my friends. So I can appreciate a good flip flop refashion, just like the one Ashley did. Not only do I love the braids but I love the color combination. It's SO easy to do – visit the tutorial below.

When you find shoes at the Goodwill that you can actually do something with, it's a huge score. I love that Rachel got these shoes and did an entire Anthropologie knock-off for under $10 – saving over $90! I actually prefer these over the original because they don't have the heel. You're going to love Rachel's tutorial, so check it out.

I love New Balance tennis shoes – they are the comfy-est things around! Some of the colors are a bit drab, however, so I love it that Barbara decided to spice them up with a bit of fabric. The tutorial requires you to make a pattern, but the rest is no-sew. Aren't they cute?

| ACADEMICS | Majors & Minors | Women's Studies
Women's studies is an interdisciplinary, academic course of study which lies at the intersection of the traditional academic disciplines such as literature, history, and philosophy in the humanities, psychology and sociology in the social sciences, as well as biology and geography in the natural sciences. Women's studies has also found a prominent place in newer and interdisciplinary areas such as education, communications, urban studies and health sciences. Wherever gender issues are germane to a discipline, women's studies can be found, in part as a corrective to the centuries-long tendency of the traditional disciplines to focus mainly or exclusively on men and in part to bring new models of understanding to all areas of study.The undergraduate concentration in women's studies brings together courses that focus on women and provide a critical analysis of gender and the related categories of class, race, and other dimensions of social power. Gaining knowledge about women and men and understanding knowledge generated by women's studies helps students to move through a complex contemporary world.Requirements for a Concentration in Women's Studies: 15 creditsThe women's studies concentration is interdisciplinary; it uses a broad variety of academic disciplines in achieving its goals. Students are required to take a total of 5 women's studies courses from at least 2 disciplines. It is recommended that students take an introductory course such as WO/UR 103: Introduction to Women's Studies or WO/PH 150: Women in Western Ideas. Students also are encouraged to engage in some sort of specialized experience such as an independent study, a directed readings course leading to a major paper, a creative project, or an internship. Students in women's studies may use courses to simultaneously count for a concentration in women's studies and other Worcester State University requirements.

Twenty eight year old First Lieutenant Clint Lorance of North Texas was recently found guilty of two counts of murder in the July 2012 killing of two suspected Taliban fighters in a remote sector of Kandahar Province Afghanistan. Lorance was sentenced to 20 years in Leavenworth, dismissed from the army and must forfeit all pay. He was found not guilty of making a false official statement.
Prosecutors insisted Lorance ordered his men to open fire on unarmed civilians which violates the U.S. military's official rules of engagement – a policy that requires them to hold their fire unless there's evidence of hostile action or direct hostile intent. Capt. William Miller, a government prosecutor, told the jury "Lt. Lorance used his rank and position to harass, intimidate, threaten and murder Afghans."
Lorance's defense argued that the village being patrolled was under Taliban control and had long since been vacated by all known civilian inhabitants due to constant violence and warfare. In fact, Lorance had just taken command of that particular platoon because in the days prior they had suffered several losses – including the loss of their prior commander. Lorance's very presence in the situation was a testament to the "hostile action" and definitive "hostile intent" that U.S. troops had come to expect in that district.
——-background of Lorance
Clint Allen Lorance was born on December 13, 1984 and is a North Texas native who grew up in the town of Celeste. He was a member of the FFA as well as a Police Explorer throughout High School who also worked 3 jobs simultaneously to help cover household expenses as well as prepare for moving out on his own when he turned 18.
On the day of his 18th birthday Lorance walked into the Army recruiting station in Greenville, Texas and joined the Army as a Military Policeman. Upon graduating from Basic Training and AIT he shipped off to his first duty assignment in Pusan, South Korea. His next duty station was in Fort Richardson, AK, stopping briefly at Fort Benning, GA to earn his Airborne Wings.
As part of the 4th Airborne Brigade Combat Team In Alaska, Clint deployed for his first deployment to Iraq from September 2006 to November 2007 , initially a 12 month deployment which turned into a 15 month deployment. Lorance was then assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division's 4th BCT and deployed to Afghanistan in March 2012 to Southern Afghanistan. During his deployment, Clint was the squadron's liason officer to the commander until selected to become a platoon leader.
——–setting the stage
Lorance's patrol, consisting of 16 US Infantrymen, 5 Afghan National Army Soldiers, and 1 US Interpreter, left their Strong Point early in the morning on July 2nd 2012 headed to a remote village within the Kandahar sector of Afghanistan for a combat patrol.
Traveling on foot with electronic mine-sweepers in the front due to the heavily mine-riddled terrain, Lorance was in constant contact with overhead US Army helicopter pilots who had warned Lorance over the radio of enemy presence to the North, East and West of the Platoon's position on the ground. Lorance confirmed with the pilots a good description of the enemy, and pilots continued to track and provide overhead surveillance for LT Lorance's platoon.
As the patrol approached the village they spotted 2 individuals who were sitting on a motorcycle at a distance observing the patrol's movement. The individuals matched the exact description that the Army pilots had relayed to Lorance moments earlier.
FYI: It's common practice for Taliban fighters to use what the US calls "spotters". This is a tactic the Taliban uses to communicate with one another and track the movement of platoons, just as it was apparently doing in the case of Lorance's patrol.
Official intelligence reports for the area identified any personnel owning or operating a motorcycle as Taliban because as I mentioned earlier, there was no local population living there. The local population had long since moved out of the area because it had been taken over by the Taliban. Essentially, if they were in the area, they were up to no good and if they were in that area and perched upon a motorcycle sitting stationary there was little doubt they must have been Taliban scouts intent on divulging the existence and whereabouts of Lorance's platoon – as had obviously happened just days prior when the same platoon was attacked in the same geographic location – losing several men.
——– his decision
Realizing the situation afforded him just seconds to react, Lorance made the decision to protect his troops by preventing the scouts from relaying back to the Taliban any further information as the platoons whereabouts by ordering a trained US marksman, who was standing guard in an overwatch position from the road on a US gun truck, to fire two long-range precision shots, eliminating the threat, but it was too late. Within minutes Lorance and his men found themselves embroiled in a gunfight with Taliban fighters.
———the aftermath
Following the precision shots US Intelligence intercepted enemy radio signals talking about the position of the patrol and planning an ambush. Moments later, Lorance's men engaged with and killed two confirmed Taliban fighters who were planning the ambush. Simultaneously, Lorance's men in a separate location intercepted and detained a Taliban fighter who was attempting to flee the village on a motorcycle. Another suspected Taliban fighter was shot in the arm and was intercepted by the Afghan Army Soldiers. Lorance ordered his Combat Medic to immediately stabilize the man and bring him back to base with the patrol for further medical treatment and remain on Lorance's base pending the investigation.
Upon return to base, Lorance ordered both of the captured men be tested for gunshot residue on their hands. Both men tested positive, confirming Lorance's suspicions that the men had fired weapons recently.
Lorance then ordered that both men be physically separated, put into a shaded area, and be given food and water. Two-three hours later, the prisoners were transported to the Detainee processing facility at the Brigade Headquarters.
Even though both men tested positive for gunshot residue and were acting suspiciously military intelligence released them back into the wild.
The two aforementioned scouts were not confirmed as enemy fighters by that same exact military intelligence and the Army assumed Lorance guilty of random acts of murder – fired him from platoon leader and took his weapon. He was moved to HQ to assume administrative duties while awaiting the investigation.
On Tuesday January 15th 2013 Clint was charged.
——-the trial
The marksman in this particular case, as well as 4 other U.S. military operatives involved in the events of July 2 2012, were exonerated of all responsibility in exchange for their testimony against Lorance.
On August 1st Lorance was found guilty on 2 counts of murder by a 10 member jury comprised of military officers. During the sentencing hearing Lorance said "I take full responsibility for the actions of my men on 2 July, 2012."
Former military colleagues appeared and spoke on behalf of Lorance's character, telling the jury they always knew Lorance as a smart, above-average soldier.
Capt. Zachary Pierce called Lorance "trustworthy," "unparalleled" and "one of the kindest and gentlest people I've ever met."
Regardless, Lorance was sentenced to 20 years at the Fort Leavenworth military prison in Kansas.
After the sentence was announced, Lorance turned to hug his crying friends and family members who traveled from Texas to North Carolina to watch the trial and support their hero during his court trial.
"Y'all can handle this," Lorance told them. "Be strong."
Lorance's family has maintained that he was unfairly singled out by the military for simply doing his job.

"Any military mother, if I were you, I'd get them out of the military," Lorance's mother, Anna, said through tears as she and the rest of his family left the courthouse. "I'd get them home."
———ed note
I spoke to Anna Lorance for nearly an hour via telephone today(9.24.13) preparing to write this report. The only thing more predominant than utter sadness in her voice and the words she chose to relay to me – was pride. She seemed quite torn between the crippling sadness of the injustice which has befallen her son and the beaming prideful joy any parent would have for their son or daughter who's accomplished great things.
Clint Lorance is being added to our DCX "Leavenworth 10 – Uncommon Injustice" series page where he will be honored alongside others who have suffered the same fate. While he wasn't one of the original 10 members of that unfortunate group of brave heros – it's becoming quite obvious that the first 10 were merely the beginning. Based on my own research I suspect there are approximately 90-100 soldiers currently serving time in Leavenworth for charges related to killing the enemy in order to protect themselves or the lives of their comrades – resulting in nothing more than U.S. soldiers becoming POW's of the United States' current policy of radical Islamic appeasement.

With your support and interest we can make all Americans aware of Clint's case and the cases of other American hero's who have been unfairly persecuted in the name of injustice.
Clint Lorance has dedicated his entire adult life to serving his country and protecting American freedoms. During his tours he risked his life combating an enemy who wishes to bring great harm to our beloved country.
How ironic that — instead of his life being taken by that enemy, it was taken, in many regards, by the very government that ordered him onto the field of battle to begin with.

I've received a zipped file containing information from Lorance's defense team which is alleging the prosecution is withholding vital elements of testimony and physical evidence which would exonerate Clint Lorance. The list is long and the value of each item, from the defense's standpoint, is high. I asked for permission to publicize this file and it was granted. It can be downloaded in it's entirety here.(656kb)
Among the items of evidence the government is allegedly in possession of are biometric identities of the individual enemy combatants involved in the case – along with fingerprint evidence linking each individual to previous involvement in attacks on U.S. and coalition forces(appendix A). The list is very thorough and includes the names and other digital identifiers associated with each enemy combatant involved. Item 11 from appendix A provides a very forthright summary of the prosecution's non disclosure of that vital evidence during trial:
11. This evidence should have been developed and presented to decision-makers throughout the entire process. This evidence counsels against a General Court-Martial. And, it is certainly reasonable doubt. The Army has an officer imprisoned for twenty years. The Army also had this information at its fingertips all along. Nothing is known to have been done to develop it and use it. And, CID had IED terrorists standing before them. The third rider, on the very same motorcycle as the two EKIAs, is part of IED networks. Clemency as soon as possible resolves the matter for all concerned.
The first item in the file titled US v. Lorance 30 NOV 2014 PGS 1-3 expounds on the governments failure to disclose the evidence during trial:
1. REQUEST. The Army has in its possession evidence linking Afghan military-aged-males involved in this general court-martial to improvised explosive devices (IED) as well as IED attacks and terror networks in Afghanistan. The government failed to disclose this information to the chain-of-command, counsel for the defense, and the court-martial. These significant failures strike at the very heart of American due process and show that the government violated its discovery and disclosure obligations under Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) Article 46, RCM 701, Army Regulation (AR) 27-26, and well-settled Supreme Court and military case law. This newly discovered evidence, standing alone or in combination with the many legal errors already raised, shows that this court-martial is not correct in law and fact.
And from section 6 of that file:
The new evidence implicating the Afghan military-aged-males to attacks on US and other terror targets during the relevant timeframe all but confirms hostile intent and hostile activities. The evidence underscores the validity of the split-second decision to fire at the three riders. This is especially so where it is beyond any doubt that moments and meters later, Afghan military-aged-males associated with the three riders (as shown in Appendix A) were scouting 1st platoon for an attack. And, the two Afghan military-aged-males detained shortly after the second engagement each had HME on their hands. This is reasonable doubt. But, the larger point is the prosecution had this evidence available and did not disclose it.
Section 8 alleges the obvious, failure to disclose by military prosecutors, as well as exactly who didn't receive the information:
8. FAILURE TO DISCLOSE. Had the new evidence been properly developed and disclosed to decision-makers along the investigative, preferral, and referral processes, it is certain that there would have been a disposition other than General Court-Martial. Indeed, the Army did not court-martial SSG Herrmann or PFC Carson for killing and wounding military-aged-males that morning based on less than perfect information. The newly-discovered information was never presented to the chain-of-command when each commander recommended trial by general court-martial. It was not presented to the UCMJ Article 32 Investigating Officer. It was not presented to the Convening Authority when he referred the case to general court-martial. It was not disclosed to defense counsel.
Appendix B outlines 23 unique and very vital items which also weren't disclosed during trial. That list includes photographs and sketches from the day and place in question as well as expert and eye witness testimony which could have exonerated Lorance of wrong doing. Item 7 in the list indicates that the actual taped communications from overhead reconnaissance – which was very much responsible for the information Lorance was receiving and basing his decisions on – was not presented at trial. Those tapes contain a relay from recon to Lorance indicating the combatants in question had the intention of bringing harm to Lorance and his men:
7. Wolfhound communications intercepts were taped and recorded of two military-aged-males that Staff Sergeant Herrmann and Private First Class Carson shot and killed 500 meters away from the first engagement and but moments later. The record of trial states that EKIAs were using ICOM radios and stated – "they could see the Americans on the roof and that they wanted to do something to them." The tapes were not disclosed to the defense.
The defense was not able to use any of this information to prepare it's case. On top of these omissions the defense has also identified 10 material legal errors during the processing of this court martial, four of which are included in the PDF file contained in the zipped folder. Those four items include:
- The jury never knew each witness against Lorance was initially suspected of murder but then given immunity
- The jury never knew that the Squadron twice prevented CID from investigating the identities of the riders in the first engagement
- The jury did not know that the military judge failed to give the right instructions on applicable special defenses
- The jury never knew that the CID uncovered derogatory information about prosecution witnesses which was not disclosed to the defense
Clint Lorance was right to suspect those men were enemy combatants based on the information he was being provided with, which has now been proven accurate. The biometric identifiers, which anyone can download and view in the zip file, are linked directly to fingerprints found at previous IED events. Lorance's split second decision to take action protecting his men was justified. The government has in it's databases the "biometric proof" they were indeed the enemy and needs to reconsider it's entire case against Lorance. As it stands – they're holding a U.S. war hero in captivity for doing his job and doing it well. As Lorance has stated, he has "always believed those men intended to harm my soldiers and if I had done nothing and some of my men had been wounded or killed, I would have been in a different kind of prison … for the rest of my life."
Please share this post. You and I know the mainstream media won't cover it … they're too busy creating the next "Ferguson" to worry about doing what's right and actually helping Americans who truly deserve it.
In their absence the burden of promoting truth falls on our shoulders. It's why I created this blog and it's why you're here reading. I create the post, provide the information, you click the share button and/or bounce over to Clint's petition page and give him a Christmas gift of your name on the line – where it matters. Let him hear your voice and let him know you know the truth.
If you'd like to take your involvement up a degree, you can contact your state Senators and/or Representatives and let them know what you think about this situation. In case you'd like a quick note to drop them, try this one:
Dear XXXXXXXX,
I just learned the government is withholding vital evidence in the case against LT Clint Lorance who is currently serving 20 years in Leavenworth for killing enemy combatants in Afghanistan. That evidence, which was not disclosed during the trial, identifies each combatant and ties them to previous IED attacks against U.S. and coalition forces . This evidence exonerates Clint Lorance, who has testified on numerous occasions he was just trying to protect his soldiers, and I want to see him freed immediately.
I'm closely monitoring this case to see if you take action on behalf of justice.
Feel free to gut that or rework it to get your message across.
I believe in Clint Lorance. I think you do too. Please join me this holiday season in creating our own media event in his honor. Let's let that clemency board know we want our hero freed from Leavenworth. Together we can do it but each reader must take action right now, tonight/today.
Clint did his best for us. Now it's our turn …
Update 08.16.2014
The following documents pertaining to Clint Lorance's upcoming clemency hearing were sent to me by an anonymous source today, August 16th, 2014. The handwritten letter from Lorance himself was penned just yesterday, the 15th of August:
Clint A Lorance Petition for Clemency to the Commanding General.pdf
Signature Page.pdf
Mother's Plea
*Handwritten Letter by Clint Lorance dated August 15, 2014
Update 06.18.2014
On May 28th, Clint received the authenticated record of trial at the USDB. It was forwarded to the prison legal office to be redacted before Clint gets the final copy. Once Clint gets that copy, he has 30 days to respond to it before the General gets it for his review. The General can lessen or overturn the sentence at this time.
Keep the prayers coming! We are praying for Justice to be served and Clint be set free. We'll know soon.
Thank you for your support,
Lorance Family
This is the first update to this report I've made since the developments surrounding Bowe Bergdahl and the prisoner exchange and subsequent release of 5 high ranking Taliban detainee's from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. It draws some intense contrast with Clint's case because it was Taliban Lorance was charged with killing yet it's Lorance who remains in prison while the Taliban 5 – a group comprised of founding members of the Taliban dating back to the early 90's and as such responsible for the deaths of countless Americans and Christians around the world both military and otherwise – are now back in the wild.
Supporters of the president's move say 'no, they're in Qatar' to which I respond, you haven't done your Qatar homework. Qatar's emir Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani – is a main contributor to the terror organization Hamas and is suspected to have been the main financier of the Arab Spring uprising which saw the Muslim Brotherhood rise to power in Egypt – a move our own president helped solidify by recognizing the MB just a few short months before elections there.
Qatar, while considered the Mayberry of the Middle East because it's seldom heard of in mainstream news reporting(for a reason) – funds radical Islamic militant organizations. To suggest that the Taliban 5 is now anchored down in some sort of boarding school for bad jihadist kids – is ridiculous. To assume they've already begun operations setting up a new Taliban HQ in Qatar – is more realistic.
Yet there are still those who argue that justice has been served and things are as they should be – our president being one of them – but things are far from being as they should be as long as Clint is imprisoned by his own countrymen while our President – ON HIS SIGNATURE ALONE – allowed the very founding members of that same enemy organization to waltz right out the front door of their prison – and back onto the battlefield to take even more lives of even more American troops and even more Christians worldwide.
The prisoner exchange for Bergdahl adds a higher degree of injustice to the case of Clint Lorance even though it was about as unjust as it could be even before the Gitmo detainee's were released.
As the Lorance family continues to fight and pray for their son's freedom and as political pressure continues to be applied to have him released – I hope each and every reader of this story will take the time to "take an action," as a gesture to Clint and his family that you agree he should be released.
Follow the links here and sign his petition, find other articles online about Clint's case and leave comments condemning his imprisonment – write your congresspeople and Senators and ask them what their policy is on detaining U.S. troops while releasing our enemy back to the front lines and remind them that their jobs will be on the line in November.
Finally it never hurts to contact your local news station and make sure they're aware of Clint's situation. Many times they are not. I've personally scored featured time slots on local network news(unrelated matters) just by sending them a fax of an online news report.
These are our neighbors – our compatriots – our family. Please help them. –ed

Disorders of elevated body temperature may be classified as either fever or hyperthermia. Fever is caused by a pyrogen-mediated upward adjustment of the hypothalamic thermostat; hyperthermia results from a loss of physiologic control of temperature regulation. Fever in the ICU can be due to infectious or noninfectious causes. The initial approach to a febrile, critically ill patient should involve a thoughtful review of the clinical data to elicit the likely source of fever prior to the ordering of cultures, imaging studies, and broad-spectrum antibiotics. Both high fever and prolonged fever have been associated with increased mortality; however, a causal role for fever as a mediator of adverse outcomes during non-neurologic critical illness has not been established. Outside the realm of acute brain injury, the practice of treating fever remains controversial. To generate high-quality, evidence-based guidelines for the management of fever, large, prospective, multicenter trials are needed.
