Alumni June Newsletter
Dear Classmates & Milne Alumni,
As you might have noticed, since last month's newsletter the word "Association" is no longer in our name. This was done in May because we may want access to the University Alumni Association's Milne database, and there is conflict in their bylaws regarding another "association" access. Last month I spoke with Melissa Samuels at the University about this, and we came to the agreement of the replacement name "Friends of Milne." However, since then, the new name did not feel quite right, and "Milne Alumi" will be used instead. I hope you find this okay and that this name will keep us in good relations with the University. I believe Milne Alumni will better frame our present and future intentions.
These Milne Alumni intentions are: To put together a Milne Directory to connect the unconnected Milne Alumni, to provide information for class reunions and All-Milne reunions, to keep people informed about Milne news, and to coordinate interesting projects that could contribute to the whole: faculty, sports, Crimson & White, Bricks & Ivy, music, art, clubs whatever might connect with Milne Alumni as our efforts progress.
I have been working on the Milne Directory project and I have copied what has been accomplished so far, below. (Instead click on Class Year, the most updated listing.) I have been working on adding and correcting all the class years and people listed, so it is only a draft at this point. I would welcome your response to this Milne Directory and your contribution of missing or corrected information. I have backup files with more detailed information on some class years, from reunion class contacts, and I am also using the Classmates.com listings where no contact is known. It will be a work in process for some time, but I believe it will be a helpful Directory when it is completed. Thank you again to all that have helped me so far.
If you wish, you can forward this newsletter to other Milne alumni. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or news to pass along. I look forward to hearing from you.
Welch, '71

Obviously, the 'C' is supposed to stand for "check". I think that's misleading. xfs_db _always_ checks the SB magic. This option just changes the the behavior on a mis-match. In a way, I think this flag belongs into the "verbose/quiet" category. It really is --you-really-want-to-work-with-xfs-volumes-only...I guess it's a don't-force flag. I can't think of a good letter for it at the moment. Josef 'Jeff' Sipek. -- Hegh QaQ law' quvHa'ghach QaQ puS

The Grafton boys' swimming and diving team made sure their first trip to a WIAA Division 2 sectional in Ashwaubenon last Saturday was a memorable one.
The Black Hawks trailed the host squad by five points heading into the final race, the 400-yard freestyle relay.
Grafton coach Mark Minz used his star to anchor the race and knew that if it was close, senior Sean O'Connor would pull out a victory.
Minz said he told his relay of Jake Herlache, Charley Hanney, Nick Starr and O'Connor to win the race and let everything else take care of itself. If the Hawks placed first in the event, it didn't matter where Ashwaubenon finished.
"You couldn't have scripted it better," Minz said.
And the four couldn't have swam much better.
"That's the first relay I've ever had with every guy's split in the 40s. That's an amazing accomplishment for a high school team," Minz said.
O'Connor made up some ground and the Hawks pulled it off, winning the race by nearly two seconds — 3 minutes, 13.22 seconds to Ashwaubenon's 3:15.2 — and took the sectional team title by one point, 379-378.
Every Hawk who swam qualified for the state meet this Friday and Saturday in Madison.
O'Connor won the 200 freestyle (1:42.75) and 100 butterfly (52.32).
Starr won the 500 freestyle (4:55.66) by less than a second. The race was a near-photo finish as Evan Geiser of Cedarburg swam a 4:56.08 and Mark Teske of Ashwaubenon swam a 4:56.36.
"That was a fun race to watch. For a long race, that place stayed loud," Minz said.
All four of Grafton's first-place finishes were pool records, Minz said.
The Cedar Grove-Belgium boys' basketball team destroyed Reedsville, 86-31, in its opening game of the Big East Conference tournament last Friday, earning a rematch with Howards Grove.
Eleven Rockets scored, led by Reid Hilbelink's 20 points.
Jordan Villa added 18 points, followed by Josh Weiss with 10 and Ethan Brochtrup with nine.
Hilbelink scored 16 points in the first half as the Rockets built a 55-15 edge.
Cedar Grove-Belgium defeated Reedsville, 90-68, in the Big East regular-season finale on Feb. 6.
Howards Grove beat Cedar Grove-Belgium, 78-51, on Dec. 22, after which the Rockets went on a nine-game winning streak.
This week, Cedar Grove-Belgium was scheduled to play at Howards Grove Tuesday. The tournament continues Thursday with the winner taking on the winner of a game between top-seeded Hilbert and Oostburg.
Games continue Saturday and Feb. 23.

It wasn't the WIAA regional team title Port Washington was hoping for, but nine Pirate wrestlers advanced to Division 1 sectional competition last Saturday at Cedarburg.
Blake Pfeiffer (106 pounds) and Preston Makoutz (132) won regional championships for Port.
Also advancing for the Pirates were Lukas Burke (182) and Tristan Griswold (195) with second-place finishes and Oliver Rosado (120), Tanner Meinel (126), Sal Gauthier (145), Nate Russell (152) and Cody Lewis (285 with thirds.
"It was kind of up and down, some highs and lows," Port coach Angelo LaRosa said.
"As a team, we didn't finish where we wanted to. We wanted to win it."
Germantown won the eight-team meet with 201.5 points. Second-place Cedarburg scored 193, and Port Washington was third with 188.
Pfeiffer (30-4) pinned Jake Roden (16-19) of Cedarburg in 56 seconds and scored a 6-4 decision over Jordan Craft (19-11) of Manitowoc Lincoln in the finals.
Makoutz (24-12) pinned Mason Peters (0-5) of West Bend West in 1:49, won a 13-1 major decision over Eric Abel (25-12) of Germantown and a 9-4 decision over Sam Boerner (31-7) of Cedarburg in the finals.
"They had a really good day," LaRosa said of his champions. "They are in a good spot going forward."
Burke (32-13) pinned Carson Bogner (2-2) of Germantown in 3:56, won a 5-4 decision over Cooper O'Keefe (22-16) of Cedarburg, was pinned by Anthony Schlass (31-4) of West Bend West in 2:55 in the finals and pinned Hayden Lodel (20-18) of Manitowoc Lincoln in 3:56 for second place.
Griswold (30-8) pinned Frankie Carrothers (11-8) of Sheboygan South in 3:38, lost an 8-7 decision to Joe Leonhardt (37-5) of West Bend West in the finals and scored a 13-1 major decision over Caleb Drake (13-15) of Cedarburg for second.
LaRosa said he moved both Burke and Griswold up a weight class in a gamble.

It works! **edited**
If after plugin and WordPress core update it gives you some errors, try deleting local cache, server cache and wait some time before testing again… It is working. I've been using this plugin for more than 3 years.
I purchased a license a long time ago not knowing it was an automatic renewal.
Recently it was renewed for almost $80. I immediately wrote to them telling them that I didn't know it was on auto payment. They refused to issue a refund.
You be the judge.
No thanks
When the free version annoys me, I have no incentive to opt for the paid version. Tried it on three sites and it seemed fine on 2 but on the third one, nothing but trouble. I found a better solution that works just fine on all my sites and no annoying sales pitch.

Extend Wireless / Wired Network, Share Internet (2 Routers)
Infopackets Reader Bernie H. writes:
" Dear Dennis,
I have a hard wired DSL Internet connection at my office. If I want to add more connections in order to share my Internet with more computers, can I daisy chain another modem to the current one? Or do I have to replace the current one with one that has more sockets (ports) available? "
My Response:
You don't need to replace your current router -- you can easily chain two or more routers together. All you need to do is connect the two routers together using any LAN port on each of the routers using standard RJ45 (Ethernet / network cable). Do NOT connect the two routers using any of the WAN ports as it will not work.
Click here for a picture of how to connect 2 routers.
Don't Forget: Disable DHCP on 1 Router
You will need to disable DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) on the second router, otherwise you'll be on two different IP networks -- or worse yet: they may conflict having the same default IP settings.
DHCP is responsible for assigning IP addresses for any new device (PC / laptop, etc) attached to your network.
Extend Wireless Network Coverage Using 2 Wired + Wireless Routers
Note that you can use this exact same scenario to extend your Wireless Network using two routers. Refer to the picture on how to connect 2 routers.
Extend Wired Network Using a Switch
If you don't own a second router, you could also buy a network Switch to extend your wired network. A network switch is pretty much the same as a router but has no DHCP. The price for a network switch is about the same as a router.

Strange things are sighted in the woods, a dangerous infestation of hex creeps throughout the town, and a mysterious magical visitor arrives with his eye on her. With every spirit banished, creature helped, and spell cast, Arianwyn starts to get the hang of being a witch--even if she's only an apprentice. But the worst still lies ahead. For a sinister darkness has begun to haunt her spells, and there may be much more at stake than just her pride . . . for Arianwyn and the entire land.

Fotu Auelua's brutal hits left his opponents trembling in his debut Super Rugby season, but the powerhouse's Wallabies mission is the driving force behind his bid to have a bigger impact next year.
The ACT Brumbies forward hopes his first full pre-season in Canberra will help him reach his goal of breaking into the Australian Test squad next year.
Auelua arrived in Canberra in February just weeks before his first Super Rugby campaign started.
But while most players weighing more than 120 kilograms dread the hard slog in scorching conditions during pre-season, Auelua insists the gut-busting sessions will be the key to his Wallabies dreams.
Auelua has lost six kilograms in five weeks and has trimmed his frame to 117 kilograms.
It's all part of his plan to continue his power game but add endurance to have a greater impact for the Brumbies.
The 28-year-old was an Australian junior star.
But instead of playing in the domestic competition, Auelua started forging his career in France and Japan before returning to Australia.
One of the biggest motivators in leaving the lucrative contracts abroad was a chance to play for the Wallabies.
''I've definitely still got things to prove, the challenge for any rugby player here is to want to put on that gold jersey,'' Auelua said.
''I'm still pursuing that … but it all starts here at the Brumbies.
''I have the same goals as what I did last year and I still feel like I'm in the race.
''If I tick all the boxes I'll have the confidence going into my second year of Super Rugby whereas last year I wasn't aware of the speed and I was a bit scared that I wouldn't last the 80 minutes.
''If I brush that negativity away, that's the key.''
Auelua's Japan contract limited his time to work with the Brumbies in the pre-season last year.
His late arrival prompted coach Jake White to postpone his Super Rugby debut until midway through the season.
He had an immediate impact with his power running and hard-hitting defence.
The challenge he faces now is to be the same physically imposing player despite has weight loss.
''I've dropped down to 110 kilograms before and I just wasn't the same player,'' Auelua said.
''I could go for 80 minutes, but the impact I could have was really limited. Pushing forward and hitting the advantage line is my point of difference … if I can stay heavy but still carry my weight for longer, that suits my game.''
A fully fit and firing Auelua is a frightening prospect for opposition teams in what looms as an imposing forward pack.
All three starting front-rowers - Ben Alexander, Stephen Moore and Dan Palmer - have played for the Wallabies.
Test skipper David Pocock is the marquee recruit, with Ben Mowen, Ita Vaea, Colby Faingaa and Auelua fighting for spots in the back row.
''I think we need to make sure [Auelua] is more consistent and he can last the full Super Rugby competition,'' White said. ''Our forward pack was always going to be strong [next year] - last season was about cutting our teeth. The challenge is what combinations we play together and the make-up isn't necessarily as what it was last season. Who knows what end product we can have.''

text: Friday, June 24, 2005 Terminal D plan saved months, millions The Fort Worth (TX) Star-Telegram D/FW AIRPORT - Terminal D was built during the most volatile time in aviation history. Under its graceful, glassy skin, it's a steel-reinforced behemoth, augmented with almost $80 million in security features. It was constructed as Dallas/Fort Worth Airport operated amid anxiety over terrorism, rising security requirements, war, airlines' near-bankruptcies and rising fuel prices. The largest construction job in Texas and one of the world's busiest airport operations went on side by side, simultaneously. But beneath its wing-shaped, stainless steel roof, Terminal D is not the same port for American Eagle regional jets first thought up in 1999. Fort Worth Mayor Mike Moncrief put it best last week: "With this terminal, it's truly what you don't see." Through the turmoil the $1.174 billion Terminal D project stayed on budget, and pretty much on time, even as designs turned into redesigns, then redesigns of redesigns, particularly after 9-11. But it was always going to be expensive, even from the start. World-class gateway On Feb. 4, 1999, staff members told the D/FW Airport Board that the expansion program -- two terminals, a people mover and a runway extension -- would cost $2.2 billion. Terminal D would be the 30-gate home of American Eagle, to accommodate the shift from propeller aircraft to regional jets. Terminal F would be the new home of international carriers and charter flights, and would include customs processing. At the time, the plan included the construction of an eighth runway in Grapevine -- a project later postponed indefinitely as flight levels decreased. (Terminal F became unnecessary after Delta Air Lines dramatically decreased its service, leaving Terminal E mostly empty.) Even then, D/FW Executive Director Jeff Fegan and other executives hoped to break out of the regional airport mold, to exploit what they believed would be the fastest-growing segment of aviation: international travel. D/FW already had enough airfield capacity and room to increase cargo, retail and other non-aviation revenue on its 18,000 acres. Longer runways would handle longer flights in bigger planes. But to really make it happen, the outdated terminals at the airport's heart would have to be augmented. "We really wanted the architects to have conversations with men and women who were kind of visionaries," said Kevin Cox, D/FW chief operating officer. "It was eight or nine people we had for lunch -- one was Raymond Nasher. And we asked them to describe in so many words what they saw for an international terminal." Three months later at the May 1999 board retreat, the plan was still hovering around $2.2 billion, but with an asterisk. In a presentation called "international terminal project," staff members presented the idea of making Terminal D a world-class gateway. All international travel would be consolidated there. The terminal would have separate arrival and departure levels, a centralized federal inspection facility, people-mover stations and a guideway. The 26-gate terminal had to be twice as big as a regular domestic terminal to accommodate customs and immigration services and a parking garage with thousands of spaces. It would cost between $850 million and $1 billion to design and build. On page 13 of the "Investing in the Future" presentation, two artists' renderings showed the sleek, glassy, squared-semicircle outline of the future terminal. The picture then matches the reality today. "It is right in form with the original design," Cox said. FLEXIBLE BY DESIGN By luck or by foresight, D/FW officials decided to fast-track the construction that started in August 2000. The plan was a cost-saving but riskier strategy in which design and construction were performed simultaneously. It's very likely the smartest decision they made on the $2.7 billion airport expansion program. When 9-11 happened, "it allowed us to go in and redesign the changes," said Clay Paslay, D/FW executive vice president of airport development. Based on a blast analysis, the entire terminal structure -- walls, columns, roof, floors, hotel-floor thickness, concrete base -- was redesigned, said David Lind, managing principal with the architect of record, Corgan Associates. Had D/FW officials not fast-tracked Terminal D, the project could have been delayed for more than a year instead of just three months. The 12,000 men and women kept construction going day and night. The Skylink people mover is up and running, the Grand Hyatt DFW hotel is scheduled to open July 1 and Terminal D is expected to serve its first passengers in July. American Airlines officials are enthusiastic about the opening of the facility for which they, ultimately, will pay most of the bill. "This very definitely has become a distinct international center," American spokesman Al Becker said. Without fast-tracking, Terminal D would be scheduled to open in early 2007. Its cost would probably have been, based on industry trends, about $1.6 billion -- about $430 million higher. --Source: D/FW Airport CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM Terminal D is part of a $2.7 billion airport expansion that includes runway extensions, Skylink, energy plant modifications, fueling system upgrades, a new major storm drain line and signs. The terminal budget includes the Terminal D parking garage, fueling systems, terminal roads, roads connecting to International Parkway, skybridges, pedestrian bridges, Hyatt Regency DFW West condemnation and demolition, and terminal offices for the Transportation Security Administration.

Editorial comment
French Tax Exodus Is More of a Trickle
31 Dec 2012
If recently reported cases of people leaving France amid tax changes are the best examples of an exodus across the English Channel then the French government will probably be quite happy
Over the weekend it was reported that various Paris-based private equity firms were relocating to the U.K. in the midst of French tax changes. But are they all really moving to pay slightly less tax?

Manor, Texas, isn't notable for much, except that it's where the famous movie What's Eating Gilbert Grape was filmed. But don't be fooled by pickup trucks and cow pastures. The city of 5,000 people is using a relatively new technology that lets anyone with a camera phone instantly access information about local points of interest.
"As far as I know, we are the first town in America to do this," said 22-year-old Dustin Haisler, the CIO of Manor.
Haisler, who also serves as city secretary and associate judge -- he takes defendants' pleas and issues judgments and warrants -- was referring to Quick Response (QR) codes, which are two-dimensional bar codes similar to what's found on a FedEx envelope. Manor placed them at various spots around town.
QR codes are an arrangement of squares, as opposed to the traditional lines used in supermarket bar codes. The squares encode information horizontally and vertically, making them able to store more information than traditional bar codes. Aided by downloadable, free software for mobile phones, users can snap a photo of a QR code, which then directs them to a Web site for more information.
Haisler, who is also a student at LeTourneau University, is the mind behind the introduction of QR codes and is part of Manor's larger effort to streamline its infrastructure on a shoestring budget by beta testing products and using open source software. "We use things that are open source, that are free and available that we can expand," he said. "When we beta test things, we can say, 'OK, here is what needs to be fixed for your end-user.'"

Shakespeare in America
When the English colonists sailed for the New World, they brought only their most precious and essential possessions with them, including the works of William Shakespeare. The earliest known staging of his plays in the colonies was in 1750. By the time of the American Revolution, more than a dozen of his plays had been performed hundreds of times in thriving New England port cities and nascent towns and villages hewn from the wilderness. The young nation, brought together under a unique Constitution and collective will, found common ground in a love of Shakespeare.
In his famous travelogue Democracy in America, the French writer Alexis de Tocqueville remarked on the popularity of Shakespeare across the new nation in the 1830s: "There is hardly a pioneer's hut that does not contain a few odd volumes of Shakespeare. I remember that I read the feudal drama of Henry V for the first time in a log cabin." One such log cabin belonged to the family of Abraham Lincoln, a frontiersman whose formative reading consisted mainly of the King James Bible, Blackstone's lectures on English law, and Shakespeare. Like so many American presidents, Lincoln had a lifelong fondness for the Bard. "There is, assuredly, no other country on earth in which Shakespeare and the Bible are held in such general high esteem," wrote the German journalist Karl Knortz in the 1880s.
Throughout the nineteenth century, Shakespeare was the most popular playwright in America. His plays were produced in large and opulent theaters and on makeshift stages in saloons, churches, and hotels. From big cities on the East Coast to mining camps in the West, his plays were performed prominently and frequently. In fact, Shakespearean actors from England came to America because the job prospects with touring troupes were plentiful and exciting. Shakespeare was so integrated into American culture by the nineteenth century that Mark Twain had his young hero Huckleberry Finn travel along the Mississippi River by raft with a pair of rogues who tried to pass themselves off as Shakespearean actors to earn money in riverbank towns.
Shakespeare productions attracted a broad audience across socioeconomic and ethnic lines. Audiences articulated their knowledge of and reactions to the plays by hissing, whistling, stamping, clapping, and reciting passages along with the actors. The plays were often accompanied by music, acrobatics, dance, magic shows, minstrel shows, and stand-up comedy during breaks between acts. Shakespeare's most famous lines and scenes— such as "To be or not to be"—were parodied through short skits, brief references, and satirical songs inserted into other modes of entertainment, demonstrating how well performers and audiences alike knew his work.
Shakespearean allusions and quotations were a regular feature of nineteenth-century newspapers. In schools, his plays were taught as rhetoric. Students would memorize passages of his plays and recite them aloud. While audiences admired the playwright's gift for language, they found his themes to be representative of their own trials and tribulations. His characters coped with love, hate, jealousy, ambition, and mortality just as his audience members did in their own lives.
Only in the twentieth century did the nature of Shakespeare's relationship to the American public change. He was still the most widely known, respected, and quoted dramatist, but his work gradually came to be seen as part of high culture rather than popular culture. His plays became more a form of education than entertainment, more the possession of an elite crowd than the property of all Americans. The accessible dramatist whom audiences once identified with, and even parodied, now became the sacred dramatist to whom everyday people could hardly relate.
There are many reasons for this change of reputation, among them an increasing separation of audiences, actors, and acting styles. Specialized theaters evolved that catered to distinct interests such as avant-garde theater, theater of the absurd, and musical theater. Radio, film, and television executives chose to feature fewer Shakespeare plays because they were perceived as unprofitable. Simultaneously the oratorical mode of entertainment and education that was prevalent throughout the nineteenth century and which helped make Shakespeare popular did not survive.
Many scholars assert that the end of the nineteenth century, with the development of industrial manufacturing processes, changes to American work schedules, and resulting increased social classism, saw a significant decrease in the place of Shakespeare in everyday society. Education values really shifted because of the industrial revolution as well, with families knowing that a good laborer could support a family and didn't necessarily need an education that included strong literacy skills. The American language moved rapidly away from the rich Elizabethan style of Shakespeare, making his words alien to a people who once so effortlessly understood their power.
Still, for more than four centuries, Shakespeare has played a defining role in American culture. Today he remains America's most widely produced playwright—performed in theaters, on film, in schools, at festivals, and read in millions of homes across the country.

REDLANDS — Redlands East Valley's baseball team had been through it before.
But celebrating a league title never gets old for the Wildcats.
REV players piled atop each other near the mound after ending the regular season with a 7-0 win over Eisenhower.
The victory secured a share of a third straight Citrus Belt League championship.
"Every season is a different animal; some seasons you are expected to do well and some seasons you surprise people," REV baseball coach James Cordes said. "But every time it happens, it's enjoyable in its own right."
The way the league season started for REV — a crushing league-opening defeat to Cajon — winning another CBL crown seemed a lofty goal.
"That was a real wakeup call," Cordes said. "Cajon just came in here and took it to us. They knocked our teeth out. But it was a good wakeup call."
REV (21-5, 13-2) responded by registering a 20-win season, sweeping its three-game series with city foe Redlands and going 2-0 against Cajon in the final two games of that series.
"We felt we had a target on our back when the season began," Cordes said. "We had to battle, especially after that loss. It was uphill from there. But the guys were able to maintain their focus, and from there on out it was great."
For a player like Casey Sheehan, the postgame celebration was special. Slowed by injuries, this has been Sheehan's one full season of baseball.
"I was excited, I really have no words to describe it," Sheehan said. "It's just my one and only season. It's awesome. It has been awesome to contribute and be able to help the guys out."
The game turned out to be a workman-like effort for REV, almost a routine effort.
"It was hard because of what we knew would be there at the end," Sheehan said. "We had one last game. It's never over till its over. We had one game to play and we did it."
Carter Flowers drove in two runs with a single in the first. Sheehan tripled in the third and scored on a passed ball. REV scored two more runs in the fifth on a Eisenhower throwing error and added a run in the sixth when Scott Moreno scored on a passed ball.
The game also provided a glimpse of junior pitcher Jake Gozzo at his best.
It was a one-hit, six inning victory for Gozzo. He struck out six.
"I tried to simplify everything," Gozzo said. "My main goal was to throw strikes. I thought it went well."
He faced just three batters in every inning expect the fifth, when he faced four.
"I didn't want to think about anything," Gozzo said. "I just went up there and tried to throw like I knew I could."

Burlap Bunting Christmas Decoration
This step by step tutorial will show you how to make a Christmas banner, out of burlap of course!
This step by step tutorial will show you how to make a Christmas banner, out of burlap of course!
You could throw a holiday party and hang your hand painted bunting over the dessert table. It would also look fabulous hanging over a fireplace.
I'm a big fan of decorations that can be reused for multiple holidays. Once Christmas is over, flip the bunting over and use the same tutorial to spell V-A-L-E-N-T-I-N-E on the other side for Valentine's Day.
- 9 – 4 5/8 x 7 Burlap rectangles
- 5 – 12 x 18 Red stiffened felt sheets
- Letter stencils
- Stencil adhesive
- Sponge brush
- White acrylic paint
- No sew fabric glue
- Jute or string
- 9 clothespins
Step 1: Cut red stiffened felt into 9 – 6 x 8 ½ rectangles. You should be able to cut 2 rectangles per sheet. Set aside.
Step 2: Spray stencil adhesive to the backs of the C,H,R,I,S,T,M,A and S stencils and adhere them to the center of 9 burlap rectangles.
Step 3: Using a sponge brush, dab 2-3 coats of white paint onto the stenciled burlap. Place a piece of cardstock behind the burlap so the paint doesn't seep through. Remove the cardstock before the paint dries so it doesn't stick. Allow to dry before peeling off stencils.
Step 4: Attach the C,H,R,I,S,T,M,A and S burlap rectangles to the red stiffened felt rectangles using no-sew glue or craft glue. Test out your glue on a small piece of burlap and felt to make sure it will adhere. If you prefer, you could also sew the burlap to the felt.
Step 5: Attach the rectangles to jute or string using clothespins, spelling out Christmas. Hang and enjoy.

Tokyo (AFP) Jan 5, 2011
A monster bluefin tuna sold for a record 396,000 dollars in the year's first auction at the world's biggest fish market in Tokyo Wednesday amid intense pre-dawn bidding.
The 342-kilogramme (752-pound) fish -- caught off Japan's northern island of Hokkaido -- fetched a winning bid of 32.49 million yen (396,000 dollars), said an official at the Tsukiji fish market.
It was the highest such bid yet, topping the previous record of 20.02 million yen paid for a bluefin tuna in 2001, the officials said.
A piece of "sashimi", a slice of raw fish, from the massive specimen would be estimated to sell at up to 3,450 yen at cost price, local media reported.
The fish was bought by a pair of Japanese and Hong Kong sushi restaurant owners who also made the joint top bid for a bluefin in the first auction of last year at Tsukiji, a market the size of more than 40 football pitches.
"I felt relieved," the Hong Kong sushi restaurant owner told reporters at the market, where a total of 538 bluefin tunas were sold for high prices in the pre-dawn auction.
"It's a good tuna," he said. "The high price came because overseas buyers have also been demanding tuna."
Local media said bidders from China, where the popularity of high-grade bluefin is growing, had helped push the sale price to its new record.
"The globalisation of food led to the high price," one participant said, according to Kyodo News. "This is good news that enlivens the entire market. I hope the Japanese economy will get a boost and pick up as well."
Decades of overfishing have seen global tuna stocks crash, pushing some Western nations to call for a trade ban on endangered Atlantic bluefin tuna.
Japan consumes three-quarters of the global catch of bluefin, a highly prized sushi ingredient known in Japan as "kuro maguro" (black tuna) and dubbed by sushi connoisseurs the "black diamond" because of its scarcity.

When Simon Doonan said neon is "in," there's no way he was excluding his own gender. Boys, please join us in celebrating neon hues this year. This skinny tie is great - and a nice change from the average suit look.
Very subtly dark - this pattern depicts a map sea-floor levels in Scandinavian waters over 100 years ago, and sadly they're quite different now.Added 9 Years Ago from Cyberoptix

NGFA Urges STB to Revise Competitive Rail Switching Rules
Date Posted: April 4, 2014
The NGFA recently presented testimony on behalf of itself and eight other national agricultural producer and agribusiness organizations urging the federal Surface Transportation Board (STB) to develop and propose revised competitive switching rules between Class I railroads that would be more conducive and accessible to captive agricultural rail shippers and receivers.
During a March 25-26 public meeting, the agricultural organizations reiterated their conceptual support for a petition filed by the National Industrial Transportation League (NITL) to revise the STB's existing competitive switching rules.
But the groups reiterated their contention that the NITL proposal falls far short of what would be needed to provide meaningful relief to captive agricultural shippers.
Joining in support of the NGFA-drafted statement were the: Agricultural Retailers Association, National Association of Wheat Growers, National Barley Growers Association, National Chicken Council, National Corn Growers Association, National Council of Farmer Cooperatives, National Oilseed Processors Association and USA Rice Federation.
"Rail carriers should not have a free hand to deny captive agricultural shippers access to markets through absolute closures of intersection points or by establishing switch charges beyond any justifiably reasonable economic level," said Sharon Clark, senior vice president of transportation and regulatory affairs for Perdue Agribusiness, Salisbury, Md., who testified on behalf of the NGFA and the other agricultural groups.
"Access to rail transportation via efficient and cost-effective switching between carriers is of extreme importance to agricultural users because of the nature of our industry and its rail transportation patterns."
Such shipments are characterized by diverse geographic locations, fluctuating seasonal and weather-related conditions, changing domestic and export market demand, and multiple origin-and-destination pairs that differ dramatically from the comparatively static origin-destination pairs characterizing many non-agricultural movements.
The NGFA and the other national agricultural organizations urged the STB to amend the NITL proposal with respect to agricultural shippers in the following ways:
Reduce the NITL-proposed 240 percent revenue-to-variable-cost threshold to 180 percent, which is the statutory level at which carriers are deemed to have quantitative market dominance over transportation rates and the STB gains jurisdiction to examine the reasonableness of rail rates. The NGFA and other agricultural groups noted that the changes are necessitated by an NGFA-funded analysis of 2011 waybill data – involving more 44,000 individual records comprising more than 3 million rail shipments of agricultural products totaling more than $9.2 billion in freight revenue – that found that only about 6 percent of these agricultural-product carloads theoretically could qualify for the conclusive presumption of market dominance if set at 240 percent or more of variable cost, as proposed in the NITL petition.
Use a more liberal, case-by-case determination to determine whether an agricultural shipper's facility is presumed to be within a "reasonable distance" of a working interchange requiring a competitive switch arrangement, rather than the NITL proposal's 30-mile distance limit.
Establish an appropriate cost-based "access fee" – the amount to be charged for performing the switching service – which was not included in NITL's original proposal. "For instance, many current railroad-imposed switch charges can be higher than $500 per car, which in some cases can be approximately five times the variable cost for performing the switch service," Clark testified. "Cost-based access fees would limit the current ability of railroads to exclude captive agricultural rail users from existing markets by setting switch charges at levels that limit access to markets or effectively make certain markets too expensive to reach.
Base competitive switching fees on unit sizes, such as carloads, unit trains, shuttle trains and other shipments. Current reciprocal switching rates on Class I railroads are the same, regardless of unit size, a one-size-fits-all approach that the agricultural groups said would not work for a competitive switching model.
"Having rules in place to enhance competitive switching of movements is integral to maintaining a national rail freight network and to preserving the competitive fabric of U.S. agriculture and the nation's economy," the NGFA and other national agricultural groups concluded.

TUI AG Investor Fredriksen Increases TUI Travel Holding to 3.3%
TUI AG shareholder John Fredriksen raised his voting-rights stake in the German company's tourism unit, TUI Travel Plc, to 3.3 percent.
Fredriksen, who holds about 15 percent in TUI, increased his stake in TUI Travel to 37 million shares from 33.3 million shares on Jan. 21, the Crawley, England-based tourism company said today in a Regulatory News Service statement. He made the acquisition through investment vehicle Monteray Enterprises Ltd.
The Norwegian billionaire has been in a struggle since 2007 with TUI AG executives about their strategy for a disposal of the Hapag-Lloyd shipping line. The German company said Jan. 23 that it hasn't made any decision on how to implement plans to dispose of Hapag or how it would use the proceeds to boost its tourism business.
"Fredriksen's move may be significant," given reports that TUI AG may bid for the rest of TUI Travel and because the the companies have annual general meetings scheduled in early February, Arnaud Gernath, a broker at HPC SA in London, wrote in an e-mail today. TUI Travel shareholders meet Feb. 3 and TUI's meeting is scheduled for Feb. 9.
Fredriksen's aide, Tor Olav Troim, didn't reply to an e- mail seeking comment.

We're staying at the Soho Grand this weekend and noticed on a map search that there is a wine bar called Vino Vino just down the street...anyone been there or have comments? We're huge wine fans, it looks interesting but haven't been able to find much in the way of reviews or comments. Any other suggestions for a fun wine bar in the area/walkable? We've been to Peasant downstairs but want to try something different. thanks so much

South Street Win JUSTNewcastle Tournament15th June 2013
On Wednesday (12th June) over 120 children from Tyneside were involved in a high quality football tournament, thanks to JUSTNewcastle, with the help of our partners; Newcastle Community Football and Show Racism the Red Card.
The event at the Westgate Centre For Sport in Newcastle, featured 15 different teams from schools across the north east.
Newcastle Community Football made sure everything ran smoothly on the day and that the matches had the right balance of commitment but also fair play.
The schools involved ranged from those on both sides of the Tyne, right out as far as Consett.
Despite the diverse schools it ended up being an all Gateshead final with South Street finally getting the better of Kells Lane, with the 4-1 scoreline a bit harsh on the runners-up.
The children from years 5 and 6 had more treats in store as they met ex-United legend John Anderson who kindly came along on behalf of Show Racism the Red Card and presented the trophies.
In addition, all children who took part received a JUSTNewcastle junior supporter pack.
The NUST spectacular giant flag also made an appearance, the 15m x 10m shirt having been kindly presented to the Trust by Northern Rock (now Virgin Money), to help with NUST's work in the community.
JUSTNewcastle intend this week's tournament to be only the first of many (depending on future funding), helping to connect the children of the north east with our beloved football club.
All donations and offers of help gratefully received by JUSTNewcastle to help with the Junior Trust's work in the community.

Lynsey Frangakis is a fighter.
Two years ago, the 24-year-old marketing manager at a private golf club in Guelph, Ont., started having seizures around 20 to 25 times a day. A doctor's visit led to an MRI, which led to an emergency appointment at the hospital, where she was told that for the previous five years, a tumour had been growing in her brain.
It's called an oligodendroglioma, a rare type of tumour that starts in the brain cells that cover and protect nerves. It is too large to surgically remove or radiate.
The news shocked Frangakis. She moved up her wedding date so she would still have hair when she walked down the aisle. She changed from an outgoing, social individual to one who was withdrawn, depressed and wasn't sure what she had control over.
"I have lost many, many friends through this. I find it puts a strain on conversations because people don't know how to have a normal conversation with someone who has cancer, and that's been really isolating for me," she said.
Frangakis and her husband Steve are headed to a conference in Nova Scotia that starts on Thursday hosted by Young Adult Cancer Canada (YACC) that aims to bring people going through similar situations together. There's a growing realization that traditional methods of dealing with cancer are not working for the 15-29 age group, who account for 1.5 per cent of all new cancer cases and less than 1 per cent of cancer-related deaths in Canada. Typically sent to either pediatric or adult oncology centres, they're not getting the specialized treatment they require. Young adults diagnosed with cancer have distinct issues; they're at an age where they're making life decisions related to children, careers and finances.
The conference encourages participants to share their stories, while also offering organized discussions on important topics including family and friends and fear of recurrence. Organizers say they also offer an update on the situation of young adult cancer survivors in Canada and offer tools to help attendees in their daily lives.
Although she hasn't been to the Nova Scotia conference, Frangakis has attended a smaller version in Toronto, also hosted by YACC.
"It was fun trading cancer stories, or chemo stories. I'm sure to people who don't have cancer, they're like, 'How can you make a joke about this? How are you guys joking about what happened in the waiting room last Friday?' But it's our life," she said. "One of the big things that I've struggled with with my non-cancer friends is I can't really talk about cancer because it turns into a pity party."
In a 2009 report on cancer in young adults, the Canadian Cancer Society wrote that young adults' "unique requirements for psychosocial support are not often addressed in pediatric or adult oncology centres.
"Adolescents and young adults aged 15-29 years are a largely understudied population with treatment and care issues that include delays in diagnosis, low participation in clinical trials, lack of age-appropriate care, concerns around social support during cancer treatment, as well as late effects of treatment, second cancers and long-term psychosocial requirements for cancer survivors," the report reads.
Dr. Ronad Barr is a professor of pediatrics, pathology and medicine at McMaster University. He's working on helping implement a program in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, where trained pediatric, medical and radiation oncologists can spend one more year in a structured training program focused specifically on adolescent and youth adult oncology, a first in Canada.
"These young folks face huge challenges. … They're not yet at a stable place and so when you throw a diagnosis of cancer at them and then the burden of treatment, it's very destabilizing," he said.
There's an 85-per-cent survival rate in Canada for those diagnosed with cancer between the ages of 15 and 29.
"The number one issue young adults have to face is isolation," said Peter Laneas, 37, a Toronto-based actor who has been diagnosed twice with testicular cancer.
Laneas attended a YACC conference in 2009 and said the experience allowed him to talk about issues he was dealing with and time and space to "hammer out ideas for grassroots efforts." He now takes part in YACC's Localife events, which Frangakis has also attended. Localife holds events in Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton and Ottawa. Laneas said he's passionate about the issue and helping others, because it's something he's been through.
"It goes against the grain of what we're raised to believe. We're raised to believe that we're in the prime of our lives, effectively indestructible, immortal, we're untouchable, but meanwhile [cancer brings] this immediate confrontation of our mortality," he said.
"When you start looking at things through cancer-coloured glasses, your priorities shift immediately."
Frangakis and her husband are forced to think about things that never would have crossed their minds before.
"We live with constant uncertainty," she said. "We live with not being able to make plans far into the future. It's really the only life that we've known together."
Besides finances, the biggest issue she's now faced with at 24 is whether she will be able to have children. They struggle daily with the question of whether to try or not, knowing that chemo affects fertility, and being pregnant may increase the growth rate of the tumour.
"Can we ethically bring children into this world with so much uncertainty in my life?" Frangakis asked.
The gnawing question will be somewhat out of mind for a few days at least while the couple is in Nova Scotia at the conference.
"Being around people that make me feel normal is very refreshing," she said.
Editor's note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly said the 15-29 age group account for 30 per cent of all new cancer cases and 17 per cent of cancer-related deaths in Canada. This version has been corrected.Report Typo/Error

Since we have transitioned to the new version of Blackboard the ability to email announcements has been missing. This is due to the fact that this process is now part of a larger notification system. The notification system is set up to send email notifications as a digest of the activity happening in your course throughout the day. In addition the notifications will also show up in specific modules that are part of the new Blackboard Home Page (a.k.a: Notification Dashboard). You and your students will be able to get information regarding events such as submission & grading of assignments, numbers of unread posts for each discussion forum, and when particular aspects of course work are past due. Information about how all of this works is attached to this post. The Notifications will be turned on starting May 31 and be set to deliver the notifications in the form of a daily digest (meaning you should get a notice delivered once a day email with all the activity for the day).
If you have eliminated the Home Page itself from your Blackboard site never fear you can still use the course modules that you find the most useful by adding the module as link on the main menu or a link to one in your course site. Please let us know if you need assistance with this.

I have written about browser issues before but I feel like I need to say it again. Mozilla Firefox is a better choice to use with this version of Blackboard than ever before. The Grade Center will load faster, the repeated autorization request will not be an issue and over all the performance of Firefox is better including the latest version (link to download is in the top line).
In addition the issue with student emails has continued. There is a resolution to the problem coming. In the mean time as I have written previously there is an alternative tool in Blackboard that would alleviate the issue until the new student email resolution has been implemented. The tool is the Message and I am attaching directions for its use to this posting.
Please let me know it you have any questions.
I know in the past that we have encouraged the use of Microsoft Internet Explorer for use with Blackboard however it seems that with this particular version of Blackboard another choice may be better. There have been multiple complaints about several issues, the first being speed (especially with the Grade Center), and access to attached materials. The alternative choice is Mozilla Firefox 3.6 or 3.5, this seems to run Blackboard faster and the access to attached materials is less problematic. I have attached here the most recent version of the Supported Browser and Opeating system documentation.
In addition I wanted to let you know about a tool in Blackboard that you may find useful as a means of communicating with your students. I have had more than a few calls about the student email not functioning as it should (there is a solution in the works). If the student email is giving your students issues there is a tool in Blackboard called Messages that will allow you to send your students message (individually or as a group). Messages are not something that is dependent on email the messages just stay in the course itself. The best comparison is that it's like having a message box for each student directly in the course. There is one draw back to using this tool is that there is no notification that there are new messages to be read, no red flag or bold font or anything else as an indicator. If you decide to use this tool as an alternative I would suggest that you create a button for it on your menu (Tool Link).

Earlier mobile phone spy software was used only by the police department or other defense and security agencies but recently it is available even for common people. Many people raise questions that whether it is necessary or not? Many people look at it as a threat to their privacy and don't want it to be allowed in public offices or any other way in common peoples' lives.
But this is true that it is our decision whether we want to compromise with safety or privacy? When you are running a firm, where you are dealing with a lot of confidential stuff, it is very important that you need to keep a strict watch on your employees because any confidential deal secrets can be given to your competitor or someone who wants to harm you. If you think that way then you will realize that this kind of cell phone tracking software is very important for these types of firms. Continue reading

A resume is like real estate, boiling down to one critical concept: location, location, location.
So no matter how proud you are of your college degree, at all costs avoid highlighting it at the top of your resume, careers writer Danny Rubin tells Brazen Careerist.
If you do, you're sacrificing prime resume real-estate on a fact that's neither compelling nor attractive to a potential employer.
"An employer will locate your college and degree(s) at the bottom of the resume," he notes. "Just realize that a diploma alone won't make you different. Whether it's a two-year associate's, four-year bachelor's or online coursework, plenty of people have graduated from somewhere."
Instead, Rubin says job hunters need to lead with what sets them apart from other applicants, their unique experience and the concrete benefits they will bring to a company once hired.
"Crack open your resume right now and place 'Work Experience' at the top. In today's job market, your skills are the greatest thing you've got," he advises. "Bosses don't care where your skills come from, only that you have them."
Highlighting your degree at the top of your resume also runs the risk that the screener will quickly lose interest and never make it to the important parts of the document - your experience. Or the screener - who sees dozens of resumes daily - will see your education listed first and think, "This person doesn't know how to write a resume" and promptly toss it in the circular file.
Either way, it hurts your chance for advancement.
