How Do Companies Use Twitter?
Companies don't use Twitter the same way regular people do--that is, they don't sit around Tweeting inane things all day, such as what they're eating for lunch or how boring their commute is.
Instead, companies use Twitter as a way to interact with customers, answer questions, address complaints, and monitor the social Web for trends related to their brand.
Let's take a closer look at a few specific uses of Twitter by businesses.
Responding to Questions
Companies using Twitter for customer support spend most of their time writing responses ("@replies") to questions from customers who have included the company's Twitter handle in their original public tweets (such express references are termed "mentions" in Twitter parlance).
"We respond to every tweet where people need our help," says Christine Morrison, social media manager at TurboTax (@turbotax). "That said, we don't respond to every mention, as some people are mentioning us in passing and aren't expecting a response."
Your questions need not be about a customer service issue. They can bring up anything related to the company's general sphere of knowledge. For example, you can address questions about technology to Best Buy, or questions about shoes to Zappos.
"We attempt to answer any reasonable questions related to technology, but cannot answer questions such as 'Where do I hide a dead body,' which someone asked us once," says Bernier of Best Buy. "If someone Tweets to the @bestbuy account and needs help, we have a team of people there willing to jump in and engage. We try to help as much as possible."
Chatting With Customers
A big part of customer service involves trying to make people feel appreciated and welcome. That's why companies don't limit themselves to fielding questions and addressing complaints: They want to interact with customers more casually and under more upbeat circumstances as well.
"We try to engage with everyone, even if it's just to welcome them to the Seamless world after their first order or to agree on a particularly yummy food choice," says the Twitter team at Seamless (@Seamless), an online food-ordering website that pairs customers up with local restaurants that provide door-to-door delivery.
Companies that provide services also like to congratulate and celebrate with their customers.
"Each day we respond to a handful of complimentary Tweets and say 'thanks' and celebrate alongside our customers, who are excited about being done with their taxes," says TurboTax's Morrison.
Monitoring--but Not Necessarily Responding to--Twitter
It shouldn't come as a surprise, but if you mention a company's name on Twitter, the company probably knows about it. That's because companies monitor Twitter for mentions of their brand name, mentions of their competitors, and general trends that affect them.
Of course, just because you mention a company doesn't mean that it will respond or acknowledge your Tweet.
"Using tools such as Sysomos and HootSuite, we can see just about any public Tweet that mentions our name, tagged or not," says Julie Jarratt, sponsorship PR manager at Esurance (@esurance).
"If we're not tagged, it could be seen as intrusive if we respond to the user. But at the end of the day, [how we react] depends on the context of the Tweet. If it seems like they're having an issue that needs our attention but we haven't been tagged, we'll respond," Jarratt says.
Companies also use Twitter to stay on top of trends affecting their customers.
"From a data standpoint, we're able to get an instant pulse on what consumers are trying to accomplish at any given moment," Best Buy's Bernier says. "And we can identify pain points in that process."
Directing Users From Twitter to a More Responsive Place
Twitter may be fast and convenient, but it's not always the best place for dealing with customers' issues.
Recognizing this, many companies use Twitter as a jumping-off point, and shoot email addresses, phone numbers, and requests for private messages to customers who seem to need more than 140 characters of help.
"If it seems another channel may be appropriate for a customer, we will direct them to that channel," says Bernier. "For example, if we need to look up an order by number, or exchange sensitive customer data that we wouldn't want shared such as name, address, or phone number, we will encourage customers to call or email us."

I know it isn't technically a Sigil question, but after struggling with _horrible_ html output from MSWORD 97 (really really bad), and WORD2003 (better, but so so ugly and bloated..) I figured there were better workflow options and tools that would help me avoid fixing hundreds of EPUB validation issues with every book.
My key questions are:
1) What word processors can export to html that is nmore EPUB/xhtml clean.
2) What is your workflow like: i.e. original manuscript in MS WORD (as most start there..) to application X to do Y -->Then use __ to ___ --> import to Sigil --> Save to .epub.
I find most of the "anti-Word" hysteria to be hyperbolic. Yes, it produces messy HTML, but so does OO, no matter what the evangelists for it say, ditto LO. WordPerfect's output is just as bad. Scrivener MOBI's, I think I read, are currently being rejected (which makes me wonder if they forked Calibre?), as are Calibre's, by and large. I was underwhelmed with Atlantis' output; I think Jutoh works pretty well for DIY'ers.
The bottom line for me is that you need to know regex. At least a little. At the end of the day, I haven't found a single magic bullet that will automagically clean up Word or any other word-processing output. We very simply clean up the Word file if necessary (we get a lotta,
crappy files--I mean,
really awful
), but mostly we clean the files in HTML, and the tool of choice here is NoteTab Pro. Not NotePad, NoteTab. We extract the HTML and then run a variety of standardized clips to clean it; then we clean up any residual oddities.
So, our process is:
Word (or other input source)-->HTML-->NoteTabPro-->Sigil.
From the ePUBs, we have custom PERL and, again NTP clips that we use to create an inline TOC from the ncx, as well as make some other mods (usually the guide), and then drop it on Kindle Previewer/Kindlegen for MOBI versions.
That's it. So, our "magic bullet" is simply to work in a super HTML editor. We do the finalization in Sigil, and any post-production copyedits there as well. That's it.

Why are believers promised the power of doing "greater works than these" (John 14:12) when they are unable to even recreate 'regular' works (i.e. not greater); like walking on water (John 6:16-21) turning water into wine (John 2:1-11) and raising the dead after four days? (John 11:1-44)
Why don't the promises of prayer in the Bible align with reality? (Matthew 7:7, John 14:13, John 15:16)
E.g. why can't we really get "whatsoever we ask the Father in His name"? (John 16:23) Or, "call unto me, and I will answer thee" – why doesn't this really happen? (Jeremiah 33:3)
How can we expect God to help our unbelief (Mark 9:24) if He won't answer prayer from someone who is doubting? (Mark 11:24, James 1:6-8, James 5:15)
Why is a 'lack of faith' used as an explanation for unanswered prayer, when the Biblical ratio of "faith to healing" is likened to "seed to mountain"? (Matthew 17:20) Why is reality the other way round?
Why was healing promised if God is under no obligation to answer sinners (Psalms 66:18, Isaiah 59:1-2, James 5:16, I John 3:21-22) who are born into sin? (Romans 5:12-14)
How can God see this sin after it has been washed clean (Revelation 7:15) and forgotten? (Jeremiah 31:34)
If God can see their sins (even after forgetting them) how are they ever able to be healed as a "sinner"? How does one escape this catch-22?
Why does the Bible frequently indicate prayer will be answered affirmatively (e.g. Matt. 21:22; Mark 11:22-24; John 14:13-14; James 5:14-15) when there are so many stipulations and clauses to the contrary?
- E.g. Selfishness (Proverbs 21:13)
- Doubt (Matthew 21:21-22)
- Greed (James 4:2-3)
- Pride (2 Chronicles 7:14-15)
- Unforgiveness (Mark 11:24-25)
- Stubbornness (Zechariah 7:11-13)
- Not fellowshipping (John 15:7)
- Not seeking to please the Lord (1 John 3:22)
- Unconfessed sin (1 Peter 3:12)
- Improper motives (James 4:3)
- Not asking according to God's will (1 John 5:14-15)
- Not knowing how to pray (Luke 11:1)
- Lack of faith (Hebrews 11:6)
- Misunderstanding of faith (Mark 11:24)
- Wavering faith (James 1:6-7)
- Failure to apply spiritual authority (Mark 11:23)
- Lack of perseverance (Galatians 6:9) etc
Why isn't the efficiency of prayer obvious when studied? (American Heart Journal (151, no. 4 [2006]: 934-42) Google Docs: "Intercessory prayer itself had no effect").
Why would God hide Himself from these studies? Why is He hiding now when in the past He revealed Himself in so many different ways? (Exodus 3:2-6, 1 Samuel 3, Luke 9:35 etc)
Why was Paul's prayer to remove his thorn in the flesh ignored? (2 Corinthians 12:7)
Why did Paul have to post-rationalize this unanswered prayer as an opportunity to "glory in [his] infirmities"? (2 Corinthians 12:9). In a modern context, why wouldn't this rationale impress "new people"?
If answered prayer is credited to God and unanswered prayer to 'bad faith' – how is this any different than "selective observation"?
Why is selective observation so prevalent in Christianity? (E.g. how many times has the whole assembly rallied around someone extremely ill only for them to die according to the mysterious 'will of God'?) How much more faith is needed?
Why was Jesus' prayer to avoid the cross unanswered? (Matt 27:39, Luke 22:42)
Why is Jesus' prayer for Christian unity still unanswered? (John 17:20-22)
Why was Paul's prayer to be delivered from unbelievers in Jerusalem unanswered? (Romans 15:31)
Why is there a whole chapter in Acts that details the exact opposite of what Paul prayed for in Romans? (Acts 21)
Why is answered prayer dependent on the faith of a believer? Why is this so different to what happened to doubters in the Bible? (e.g. John 20:27)
Why is God under no obligation to answer prayers that fail to give Himself glory (John 14:13, II Cor 12:9-10) if we don't know what gives God glory? (John 9:3)
If God is under no obligation to answer selfish prayer (James 4:3) what can a believer logically expect to pray for?
Why are the "left-overs" nonfalisfiable, self-fulfilling prayers? (E.g. "Lord, give me strength", "Help me stay on the straight and narrow" etc)
Why didn't Jesus or the disciples anoint people with oil? Why is the only mention of this healing ceremony documented after Jesus by someone who never met Him?
Why would God heal someone but permit the Devil simulate the "illusion of symptoms"? (E.g. "By His stripes I was healed…" "I already have the victory…") Why isn't this concept explained in the Bible? How does one demonstrate the "healing" to an unbeliever with persisting symptoms?

Replacement OEM Seat cover DIY for Seat bottom with pics
The OEM replacement cover comes complete with heated seat panel. The leatherette version cost about $260 at BavAuto. You will need to move 4 wire rods from the old cover.
Note for after 2014. I can't recommend doing this. I repeated this for my passenger side seat and the OEM leatherette seat cover was made of a thinner vinyl with less deep grain molded in. This vinyl puckers up where the zip-ties are. The pricing is much higher now. Best bet is to buy used seats that are comparable. That means you need to ask about heating and bolster options in the replacement seats.
The edge of the driver's seat bottom is a common wear point and also a look at the pulled out seat cover at the end of the job.
1. Remove head rest and put aside.
2. Move seat to a high height position remove the 4 16 mm fasteners holding the seat. You will need to move the seat back and forth to gain access. I used this DIY to guide seat removal and switch disassembly:
http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=657042 (I will use a few pics that I found esp helpful)
3. Move the seats forward, one last time before you disconnect the battery, then disconnect it. Remove 2 torque screws at the back of the seat. Remove 16 mm bolt for the seatbelt anchor.
4. Tilt the seat back, pry yellow slide with slot screwdriver and undo the main power to the seats.
5. Remove seat from car. Put a moving blanket over the door sill.
6. Cut zip tie holding the seat heater wire and undo the two harnesses. Pry a hold-down sleeve for the small one, and a wedge shaped lock to push the harness aside for the larger one.
Take a look at the new seat cover to get familiar with the wiring supplied and ignore this if you don't have heated seats.
7. There are 5 tabs of various sizes holding the control panel pry upward on all 5 at the same time (or use bits of cardboard to keep them from locking again)
Several tabs on the seat control panel:
1 under the curved section, 2 larger tabs as circled and 2 smaller tabs
You only need to pull the control panel away from the seat it is not necessary to disconnect.
8. Finally there is a base under the seat controls that is held to the seat by 4 torx screws. Remove these screws and pull this panel away.
9. Push away the U-shaped channel holding the seat cushion to the perimeter lip of the seat frame.
10. Once this is done all around the cushion, the back part will pull from under the seat back and the bottom cushion will pull out so you can do the hog ring removal at a bench.
Cut the hog rings and make sure all of these are thrown away - any traces of the metal can cut the new vinyl.
BMW requires you to recycle the wire rods. Push these through the sewn sleeve. You'll notice that there are no prepunched holes for the zip ties. I used my needle nosed pliers to poke a hole.
11. I positioned all my zipties into the foam cushion so I would be pulling outward.
Use needle nose pliers to cinch the wire rods into the cushion with the zipties. At the back there are 4 more holes in the cover that need to be ziptied. Work systematically so you don't cover up one of the zipties. Cut off excess as you work.
Near the back u-channel, there are 4 prepunched flaps that need to be ziptied to the cushion. I kept the hog ring as an anchor for 2. For the other 2 I pushed the ziptie through about an inch of foam to prevent pull through.
12. Pull the back flap under the seat back.
You then need to attach to the seat frame by folding the u-channel and reattaching the cover, all the way around the frame.
13. Reconnect electrical.
14. Screw base of panel back on and click tabs in place.
15. Put seat back. Reconnect main power and reattach belt anchor and 4 seat fasteners. Reconnect battery and test heated seats. Refasten seats.
The OEM replacement is worth the expense and effort. The vinyl is fresh and there is perfect color and grain match. Gives a factory look to the tear repair and also gives a new seat heating pad. Due to the battery disconnect , you get 3 ABS/ Brake lights that go away on driving. Note I did not do the seat back, only the bottom.

An "insane asylum"-themed doughnut shop has enraged mental health campaigners who say the "biploar disorder" snacks are offensive.
Jordan Zweigoron' Psycho Donuts shop has drawn criticism over the names of his snacks, including the massive head trauma doughnut.
"When the complaints started, the complaints were everything all at once. We have a doughnut called the Massive Head Trauma, the doughnut resembles a man who had ... better days," Zweigoron said.

Guides lead guests up the tower's 50-, 100-, and 150-foot-high viewing decks. Each looks out over the meeting point of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers, where Lewis and Clark set out on their historic expedition. Children ages 2 and younger receive free admission.
Lewis & Clark Confluence Tower
In December 1803, Captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark set up the Camp River Dubois, right where the Mississippi and Missouri rivers meet. There, they and a crew of 30 men spent five months preparing for their legendary three-year expedition to chart America's newly acquired Louisiana Purchase territory. On May 14, 1804, they finally set sail on a 55-foot-long keelboat, named for its habit of keeling over in fear when it passed a shark.
To commemorate the bicentennial of its namesake's journey, the Lewis & Clark Confluence Tower opened on May 14, 2010, the 206-year anniversary, to the day, of the expedition's embarking. Tower is a slight misnomer—the structure is actually two parallel towers, connected by viewing levels 50, 100, and 150 feet above the ground.
The platforms afford panoramic views of Lewis and Clark's departure point, as well as the rivers' intersection, and, 25 miles north, the union of the Mississippi and Illinois rivers. Downtown St. Louis and the Gateway Arch are visible on clear days, and during evening events, sunsets and fireworks reflect gorgeously on the water. Back on the ground, the Meeting of the Great Rivers National Scenic Byway, complete with educational plaques, accommodates visitors interested in following the rivers' convergence on foot.

Makita is expanding its line of miter saws by introducing the 10-inch compound sliding model LS1018. It has the same cross cutting capacity as the company's premium 10-inch model (LS1016) but is about 10 pounds lighter and sells for about $100 less. The lower price point was achieved by going with a simpler two-rail design (versus the four-rail design of the LS1016) and a different motor and electronics package. The two-rail design means the saw cannot be used as close to a wall but is one of the reasons why it is lighter. And it is not just lighter than the LS1016; at 43.7 pounds the LS1018 is 3 pounds lighter than the Festool Kapex, 7 pounds lighter than DeWalt's DW717, and as much as 20 pounds lighter than some other 10-inch sliding dual compound models.
Like Makita's other miter saws, this one is direct-drive so it achieves 100% power transfer and there is no belt to slip or wear out. It has a 13-amp motor, soft start, and an electric brake. Under no-load conditions it spins at 4,300 RPM, which is slightly faster than average for a 10-inch saw of its kind. What's interesting about this number is how it compares to that of Makita's premium saw. The LS1016 has a no-load rating of 3,200 RPM—a speed made possible by the inclusion of electronic speed control. The LS1018 does not have this feature so it must spin faster to begin with to avoid bogging down in heavy cuts.
The cross-cut capacity of the new saw is in line with that of competing models so it should be able to perform the majority of tasks a carpenter would expect to do with a saw of its kind. Features include an oversize trigger, extension wings, and a pair of rubberized handles—one for operating and the other for carrying the saw. For bevel cuts the left upper fence can be slid out of the way and the right upper fence removed. The trigger has a safety button.
This is not Makita's top-of-the-line 10-inch saw—for that you would want the LS1016 or LS1016L—but on paper, at least, the LS1018 appears to be a good value. No other name-brand manufacturer (Bosch, DeWalt, Festool, Hitachi, or Ridgid) produces a 10-inch sliding dual compound saw this light and sells it for less than $400. The LS1018 saw has been out since 2010 in much of the rest of the world and has just now made it here. The four-year time lag may be a blow to the egos of carpenters who consider themselves early adopters but is otherwise not a bad thing, because if there were any bugs with the original design they would likely have been worked out by now. We'll find out for sure in the coming months because Makita is sending us a saw to test.

The video below was shot a few years back in the UK and is of the 240-volt European version of the saw with a laser (LS1018L). Makita has not said if there will be a laser-equipped version for the U.S. market.

Paula Deen
Jump to
A down-home entrant in America's new wave of celebrity chefs, Paula Deen parlayed her definitive Southern charm and irrepressible personality into a multimedia epicurean franchise joining the caliber of überfoodies Emeril Lagasse and Rachael Ray. A once-abandoned single mother who conquered crippling agoraphobia through her love of cooking, Deen leveraged her rich Southern cooking into a successful, regionally renowned restaurant. A self-admitted "cook" versus trained chef, the CEO of Paula Deen Enterprises expanded this renown into a multimedia empire, including cookbooks, a magazine, numerous shows on the Food Network cable channel and a syndicated daytime talk show for Warner Bros. What set Deen apart from all other culinary giants remained her homespun charm and her refusal to make heart-healthy any of her Southern friend delicacies, which in turn, delighted fans who appreciated her unorthodox, down-to-earth style of cooking. Despite her growing popularity, not everyone was as admiring of Deen's high-fat approach to dining, in particular fellow celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain who once called Deen "the worst, most dangerous person to America." Not surprisingly, when during a 2012 interview Deen admitted that she had been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes some three years prior, the Grand Dame of Southern cooking found public sympathy to be in short supply. A home-spun heroine to some and an unrepentant hypocrite to others, Deen continued to whet the appetites of comfort food fans across the nation until the fallout from a lawsuit brought against Deen and her younger brother jeopardized her entire career in the summer of 2013.

Rihanna has come forward to apologize to fans and journalists aboard her plane during the 777 Tour! Well she should for all that she put them through!
Rihanna's been super excited and jazzed up about her latest and 7th album. She planned extensively and held concerts and did all the promotional things that should be done.
Her 777 Tour was part of the great plan! She invited 250 members of the press and contest winners for one week on her 777 Boeing aircraft, visiting seven countries for seven performances in seven days. Wow, right? Nope! It turned out to be a nightmare! Rihanna was nowhere in sight and all the people on board had, was chaos madness and mayhem to deal with. Not to mention being held virtual captives as they couldn't even leave!
They even made fliers mocking her disappearance. At least they were good sports!
Well apparently the seven concerts in seven cities in seven days got to be a bit too over whelming for the diva, who claims, she could only catch upon her sleep on the plane, and hence her disappearance!
At the end of the tour, though, she apologized, saying, "Guess what, we made it! This has been an experience that I will never ever forget. I barely slept. My sleeping was all done on this plane. I know you guys got barely any dirt. But I had to be good." The daring lady also added, "I hope you guys had as much fun as I did."
We wonder what the response of the audience was. They were probably just too glad it was over!

Since its announcement DMC Devil May Cry hasn't been short on controversy. Long time fans of the hack and slash franchise have called foul, shouting from metaphorical rooftops (internet forums) in disgust and anger because Capcom went and changed their blonde haired hero and the world around him. Passing the torch onto a new developer in Ninja Theory, this revision of Dante and his demon filled world is one that on first inspection rides close to being tacky, tasteless and even laughable. All I have to tell you is that angels and demons are fighting a bloody war and you should get where I'm coming from here. However in the hands of the folks who brought us Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, one of my favourite games of 2010, I had a little more faith in Ninja Theory to deliver.
But of course, how about the gameplay? Well say what you will about the storytelling in past Devil May Cry games, one area in which it as most excelled is in gameplay, and this 2013 reboot is no different. DMC offers various levels of challenge, whilst never feeling unfair or cheap. Stylish whilst at the same time having depth that rewards experience and skill, the combat in DMC is some of the best I've experienced in the genre. Even when I was getting my backside kicked in it was always in the knowledge that I wasn't honing my skills to the situation or the button masher in me was taking over, so my mistakes were paid for in a game over screen once I'd run out of golden skulls, the item which allows Dante to jump back into the fight. This makes the outrage and controversy surrounding DMC even more baffling, because deep down this still feels like Devil May Cry, where skill and expertise is rewarded.
It's also one hell of a stylish game, with some of the most memorable boss encounters I've witness in a good while. On the default difficulty (of which there are numerous to choose from) the boss battles aren't particularly challenging but the way in which they are presented are something to be seen. I won't go spoiling anything here, but it's obvious the folks at Ninja Theory wanted to leave their mark when they created the world in which Dante, Vergil and new sidekick Kat inhabit. From the over the top set pieces to the powerful mix of it's dubstep and heavy metal soundtrack, it's a style that will rub some the wrong way, but will most certainly provide some memorable moments.
The new Dante is... well how do I put it, a bit of an arse at first. It's not exactly the fault of the story but more to do with his silly one liners and cocky attitude. But having had no attachment to the 'old' Dante it's hard to know how well he'll eventually go down with long time fans. That said, Ninja Theory have a proven track record of being able to create characters with emotion and (dare I say) depth, in this Dante isn't such an awful guy. As the story develops you start to see Ninja Theory's trademark motion capture work at... well work. From the slight facial movements to a level of realism that only real actors can pull off, the story of DMC Devil May Cry ends up being more memorable than it has any right to be on paper.
Style is key to getting the most from skills and upgrades for Dante and his many angelic and demonic weaponry, the stylish the kill the more points you'll receive to upgrade various areas of Dante's arsenal. This has been rooted in the DMC formula since the original and it's a system that still works wonders. There's a simple thrill from completing some awesome 20+ hit combo and it looks so damn good. Experimenting with weapons and new skills is one of the real highlights and Ninja Theory were nice enough to throw in a training mode to help you hone your skills. All in all it's a combat system that holds up through multiple playthroughs, one which had me excitedly anticipating the next combat scenario throughout it's 8-10 hour long campaign.
Speaking of multiple playthroughs there's a number of higher difficulties on offer for the hardcore and boy, are those levels difficult. Thankfully Dante enters with the weapons and skills you've unlocked from previous playthroughs, so it's basically a new game plus. It's here where long time fans, skilled at all areas of hacking and of slashing will excel and face a real challenge, honestly it'll take time and practice for me to beat even the next level up from the default difficulty. But it's great to see that Ninja Theory have taken to heart one of the key appeals of the DMC franchise, the level of difficulty and challenge that made it a fan favourite in the first place. Just be prepared for one hell of a challenge. Though now I've gone and said that, I'm sure I'll have people telling me 'it's not difficult, not like the old Devil May Cry games, you're just crap at games'. Fair enough!
If this indeed is the new direction for the DMC franchise, than I for one look forward to what we see next from Ninja Theory and Capcom. While long time fans will never be truly satisfied, they and Capcom must know or realise that spitting out the same old DMC game every year or two simply doesn't work and in that regard this 2013 reboot has been able to attract an audience of gamers who might have entirely ignored it if it were just another same old DMC game. Ninja Theory haven't just gave the franchise the care and attention it deserves, but have been able to leave their very own mark with style and some of the best combat in gaming today. Give it a chance, who knows, you might love it.
Thanks for reading.

100 years of pop music evolution from the viewpoint of the drummer.
The new Drum Channel DVD The Century Project is the culmination of a journey begun a dozen years ago, when Daniel Glass started researching the evolution of the drums and the way we play them. Through his research, he came to a startling conclusion: if we understand more about the drum set, we can understand the origin of every style of popular music we play and listen to today: jazz, rock, blues, hip-hop, funk, reggae, etc.
The DVD takes the viewer on a 100-year thrill ride, from 1865 at the end of the Civil War right up to 1965 and the dawn of the British Invasion. It shows how drums and pop music evolved hand-in-hand, and how, by 1965, the drumming blueprint that we still follow to this day had been cemented.

A plucky 80-year-old pilot describes her feelings
as she conquered the skies.*
"I was a Turk from Bulgaria. I felt an affinity
with aviation already when I was very little. When
I saw Bulgarian planes fly over the city from time
to time, I was dying to jump on a plane and fly
myself. As I got older, that love grew and became
irresistible. Articles also appeared in the Turkish
papers encouraging young girls to become aviators
and strengthening my already existing enthusiasm.
"But the actual occasion that propelled me
into aviation as a profession was the indescribable
impact made on me by Sabiha Gökçen,
Atatürk's adopted daughter, when she
set off on a tour of the Balkans. She flew over
Bulgaria as well.

The Czech government has announced a raft of major tax reform plans, which include a flat tax on personal income, a significant reduction in tax on corporate income, and changes to the value-added tax regime.
Under the proposals announced by Finance Minister Miroslav Kalousek, if approved Czech taxpayers will pay a 15% flat tax on their personal income, while companies will see their income tax rate drop to 19% from the current 24% by 2010.
At present personal income tax rates vary according to wages, and range from 12% to 32%.
The lower rate of value-added tax will increase under these reforms to 9% from 5%, but the headline rate will remain unchanged at 19%.
However, the Financial Times suggested in a report that while the flat tax appears at first glance to be quite a generous measure for a government attempting to slash its budget deficit in preparedness for adopting the euro, in reality the rate will effectively be something like 23% - not 15% - because it will be charged on gross income which includes employers social security and health care contributions.
It is also not guaranteed that the fragile centre-right governing coalition will succeed in pushing the tax reform measures through parliament and must count on the support of all its members. But with the tax cuts accompanied by some major cuts in welfare spending, such as unemployment benefits and healthcare, the government is sure to encounter opposition from the left.
The Czech Republic had initially hoped to join the European single currency by 2010, but the slow pace of fiscal reform has compelled the government to temper its ambitions and postpone this date by two years.
The budget deficit is expected to equal 4% of GDP in 2007, 1% higher than the ceiling set by the European Union Growth and Stability Pact which underpins the euro.

What's causing my passenger side tire to be toed in at the top?
I went to Firestone today to get a lifetime alignment and after about 10 mins the guy comes up and shows me that my tire is toed in at the top. He claims that it is a strut but the cars suspension and handling feel rock solid besides a slight pull to the left since the tire is toed in. I don't think its a strut. You guys have any idea of what it may be?
First off, there is no such thing as being "toed in at the top". Toe-in means that the front edge of the wheel is more inboard than the rear edge. Camber is probably the term you're looking for - negative camber means the top of the tire is more inboard than the bottom.
As far as what the cause is, it really depends. First off, is it the front or rear? If it's the front, I suppose a bad strut mount could cause the top of the knuckle to be tilted inboard, thus causing too much negative camber. Our cars use a MacPherson strut design, meaning that the strut is an actual structural member of the suspension. In theory, a bent strut could cause too much camber. Likely? I seriously doubt it.
If it's in the rear, then there is now way that a bad strut would cause camber issues. At all.
I'm gonna go with Accam's Razor on this one, and say that the most obvious solution is probably the correct one - the dude at Firestone probably doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.
Anyway, if you could give us some more info and/or pics, we could probably help you out more.
Its in the front and I will try to post some pics tomorrow...
It's Occam's Razor BTW, but you've got the correct idea. The tech is most likely confusing toe and camber which certainly doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in his analysis. Besides, a certain amount negative camber is a good thing and you tire should be "toed in at the top"
is the car lowered? camber plates will help get the camber back to spec
you may have a bent strut tower,
look for cracks or slight bends at the top of the tower,
happened to me...
Thanks for the spelling correction :)
How did you manage to bend your strut tower?? Yikes!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Very Great Toothbrush The first time I received the Sonic Vibration Rechargeable Toothbrush, it didn't work, and I had to be sent a new one. That alone made me have my doubts about it. But they were quick to send me a new one that worked. I had to charge it for 15 hours before use. Not bad, just like charging your phones before use. So that wasn't bad at all. After two weeks of using the Sonic Vibration Rechargeable Toothbrush, I must admit that I have enjoyed it. The first time using it, I felt like and still do that the fast motor can be a little too fast. It cleans extremely well, but I have to move slowly across the front of my teeth. It's vibrations are soft in the back of my mouth and work wonders for cleaning my tongue also. After about 3 days, it got easier to clean the front and people noticed my teeth whenever I smiled. It also made it easier to floss since the toothbrush was getting in places that my traditional toothbrush could not. By week two, it was simple and fun, I actually looked/look forward to using the toothbrush and I've even told several friends about it. I think the one thing I love the most about the Sonic Vibration Rechargeable Toothbrush is that if I forget to charge it, 3 days later, it still works!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from I am a convert! The Panasonic EW-DL80-S Vibration Tooth Brush is a smooth operator. If it wasn't for the mystifyingly fast and unequivocally powerful yet gentle bristle vibrations you wouldn't even know its on. The triple edge bristles are soft and the toothbrush is well designed to fit in the hand. I have plaque that builds up in my lower front teeth and its very difficult and time consuming to thoroughly clean that area with a non-motorized/manual tooth brush. I also tend to brush too fast and too hard with the manual toothbrush and even though I use the softest bristles I still run into bleeding gums. After a few weeks of using the Panasonic EW-DL80-S toothbrush I noticed a difference in the cleanliness of my teeth after each use with a noticeable lack of plaque in typical collection zones, i.e. the back molars and the front lower teeth. I also noticed that I did not bleed from my gums at all! The tooth brush holds a charge very well, like most other Panasonic battery powered electronics and is very easy to use. It would be nice if the tooth brush came with several different tooth brush attachments. The one other area where it falls short is that there is only one speed and that it takes twice as long to get a thorough clean then it would with a manual toothbrush. However the extra time it takes to brush is made up by the fact that it feels like a healthier approach to brushing then the bloody gum eroding typical manual brushing that I was use to. I am a convert!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great Toothbrush After using the product for a few weeks, I found myself being very satisfied with its performance. Being 8.5 months pregnant and having bleeding gums, I found that the brush is gentle enough to have stopped my bleeding during brushing, while still thoroughly cleaning my teeth. I like the slick design as the fact that it does not take a lot of space on my limited space counter of the bathroom. The only 'flaw' that i noticed is in its physical form: the charging/on/off light on the brush is a bit deem and it is hard to see if it is on. Also, when you connect the brush attachment with the base, there's an empty gap/space between the two. Other than the physical flaw that can be easily changed, the performance of this toothbrush is outstanding and I would def recommend it to a friend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Such a great little toothbrush! I really am enjoying brushing my teeth with the Sonic Vibration Rechargeable Toothbrush. It's both easy to use and efficient – and very comfortable on my gums and teeth. I have never really used a nice quality electric toothbrush before - I had one in the 1980s and then have had several of the cheap ones, and this one is so much softer and gentler in terms of vibrations. My gums did bleed the first time I used it, but by the second or third day, there was no bleeding – (and because the gums did originally bleed, I feel like it's probably doing a better job than my previous toothbrush!) The soft motions aside - I feel like the motor is fast, and working really well on my teeth. I have pretty bad stains on my front teeth due to heavy tea drinking - and they really haven't been developing as quickly as they normally do, which is definitely a noticeable difference in just a couple of weeks. The charger is super easy - I charged it one time overnight, and it's been going strong for the last two weeks without a recharge. I kind of wish I had gotten this brush sooner rather than later – I really think my teeth both look and feel cleaner than before.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Powerful Toothbrush I've been curious about electronic toothbrushes for some time as I don't have regular dentist visits and thought perhaps they could do a better job of helping me maintain dental health. At least a better job then I've been doing with my manual brush. And I am glad I was right. The sonic vibration rechargeable toothbrush's motor is fast without being uncomfortable. I also made assumptions that it would be uncomfortable brushing my teeth. It is a motor right? Well I was right about it cleaning my teeth and wrong about the discomfort. The brush is soft and gentle without being abrasive. Within a few days of using the sonic toothbrush, the soft vibrations from the brush helped me remove plaque that was both hard to reach (teeth in the back) and also to remove with a manual brush. It also makes brushing my teeth much quicker since it moves so fast. The charger is fairly simple but wish it was a tad more secure as I'm clumsy at times. What I will do is try installing the base that has the option to screw into the wall. I've charged it once since receiving it and it has lasted almost this entire week without needing an additional charge, which means I can easily take it on trips without needing the charger. I'd definitely recommend for someone in my position (not having regular dental visits) to provide optimal dental cleaning.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Heads Above the Rest After several experiences with electric toothbrushes, I was certain that I'd be a slave to the old manual type forever. Most I'd found were noisy, too bulky to comfortably brush, and vibration of the brush and head made my face itch. I found myself dreading using them and was so unimpressed by the performance I quickly put them away. I decided to give the Panasonic Sonic Vibration Rechargeable Toothbrush a try and I must say I am now in love with my dental hygiene routine. The brush itself is compact and light. The charger is versatile as you may hang it or fit it neatly into a vanity corner. It also stores an extra head which is nice. The controls on the unit are easy to use but not so sensitive that you accidentally power off mid-brush. The motor is very powerful but it is not noisy and the vibrations are soft so they don't cause that weird itching sensation – just incredibly clean teeth! I noticed whiter teeth within several days using this toothbrush. The head allows me to get into the corners and crevices so I have noticed that my mouth feels much fresher even between brushes. My breath is definitely cleaner and I have noticed improvement in my gums as well. They've gone from an unhealthy dark color to a brilliant, healthy pink with nothing more than regular brushing with the Panasonic Sonic Vibration for a little over a week. I'm considering investing in one for each family member. It's so worth it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Powerful Little Toothbrush I've been using manual toothbrushes my whole life and, after my last visit to the dentist, I have discovered that it is not working for me. I have extremely sensitive teeth and gums and I needed a vibration toothbrush that was both gentle but powerful enough to remove plaque. After 2 weeks of using the Sonic Vibration Toothbrush, I have noticed an extremely positive difference in my teeth and gums. The sensitivity is almost gone which is a huge plus! The fast and powerful motor vibrations seemed to quickly clean my sensitive teeth and gums in a very gentle manner. I'm also excited to see that they offer different brush head types which allow you to easily and professionally clean between your teeth and gums for a more well-rounded cleaning. The charger is compact so it does not consume too much valuable counter space. The charge status light is a bit dim to see when it's fully charged while the bathroom light is on but that is a minor recommendation. The manual says that the toothbrush can work up to 40 hours, which is fantastic and handy for when I go on trips. I am certainly going to recommend this toothbrush to my family and friends and I can't wait to see what my dentist says at my next visit!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Clean Mouth! I go to the dentist every 6 months for my check up and cleanings. I always get a great report but I know it could be better. I started using the Sonic Vibration Rechargeable toothbrush and in just a week, my mouth seemed cleaner! I'll never go back to a regular toothbrush again! I love the feeling of the toothbrush against my gums, because I have very sensitive gums and normal toothbrushes bother my gums. The vibrations are soft enough to clean my teeth without disturbing my gums. The motor is just the right speed to brush my teeth in a timely manner and I never feel like I need for the motor to be faster. The fast motor does wonders but its soft vibrations are great too! And the charger is so compact and can be mounted to a surface for easy use it is just the right price for me and my husband to both use the toothbrush. It does take a little long to fully charge, but after that, everything this product offers is wonderful. I keep mine plugged up to be certain that I can always use it when I need it. The best part about the toothbrush is that I noticed the difference in only one week of using this toothbrush. I am so thankful that I found this toothbrush and I hope everyone gets the chance to use it too.

View from the Meadow
Political and Social Commentary by Dave Satre
How Much is a Trillion Dollars?
A trillion dollars is an incomprehensible amount of money for most people. Yet, our politicians are spending trillions of dollars on an almost daily basis. It is difficult to visualize a trillion dollars. Let's start with some smaller numbers.
This is a $100 bill. It will fit comfortably into any wallet:
A packet of 100 $100 bills equals $10,000. It is less than 1/2 inches thick:
How Much is $1 Million Dollars?
Do you remember when a million dollars was a lot of money? Everyone wanted to be a millionaire. Of course, that was when a dollar was a dollar --- not spare change. A million dollars is a thousand dollars times one thousand. It would be equal to 100 $10,000 packets.
$100 million worth of these packets would fit on a standard pallet:
How Much is a Billion Dollars?
It is difficult to visualize just how many dollars there are in $1 billion. The politicians who are spending fortunes in government money make it sound as though they are dealing in smaller numbers by removing quite a few digits. For example, one of Bush's earlier budget deficits was $422,000,000,000 is more simply stated as $422 billion.
Can you imagine 700 of these stacks? That was the original estimate of our government's Wall Street bailout plan!
The AIG bailout was 170 of these stacks!
How Much is a Trillion Dollars?
A trillion dollars is even more incomprehensible. It's a million million. A thousand billion.
$1,000,000,000,000 = $1 trillion
One trillion seconds equals 1,688 years.
The oldest known human was alive 110 trillion seconds ago.
The US National Debt at the time of this writing is $11,054,250,000 or more simply stated: $11 trillion. The number is so large that the $3.5 billion this debt is increasing per day seems miniscule by comparison.
This is what $1 trillion would look like:
Note: This stack is two pallets high!
Some experts expect the Bailout to cost American Tax Payers at least two of these stacks!
So, the next time you hear a politician casually use the words "billion" or "trillion" think about whether you really want that politician spending your tax money.
We Need Change in Washington. Throw The Bums Out! Vote Against Incumbent Politicians in the next election!

|Starnite performers bring eclectic blend of styles
|By CARI TROCK | News-Telegram Staff
Aug. 21, 2005 -- This year's Hopkins County Fall Festival "Starnite" performers are ready to provide Hopkins County with hours of fun, high energy and kickin' country music.
This year's musical event, held Sept. 17 on the last night of the festival, features Lantana, a trio of high-energy moms with ties to Sulphur Springs, and John Arthur Martinez, a performer who made his mark on "Nashville Star."
The women-powered trio of Lantana are not just country entertainers with a lot of energy — they're also moms. Karol Ann DeLong, Biz Haddock and Lisa Strother all have school-aged children, ranging from elementary school levels to college.
"We have nine kids between the three of us and three husbands," DeLong said. "We take it day by day."
Even though scheduling is the most difficult thing the ladies of Lantana do, according to DeLong, the support of the three families couldn't be better.
"We couldn't be in this business without them and their support," said DeLong. "The kids are part of the concerts. It's a family thing."
It wasn't until Bryan Schexneyder, a vocal coach in Plano, heard the three women that the idea of Lantana originated.
"He had a vision to put us together and come up with this trio of women singers," DeLong said. "He said all of our voices would compliment each other and really thought this would be a good thing."
The trio started out singing the national anthem at professional sporting events, such as Dallas Cowboy football games. Strother had written some original songs that the group eventually started singing, which then catapulted them into the East Texas music scene.
According to DeLong, Lantana means you take a little bit of the music that you loved when you grew up and you add in the attitude of today's country music, blend it with some native Texan roots and then season it with some middle age hormones.
Lantana's music offers a variety of styles compacted into one solid sound that is described by the group as a "country groove." Each woman brings a piece of diversity within their sound. Strother's sound contains a lot of R&B, Haddock's consists of rock, and DeLong brings in the country.
"Another thing that is cool is that we all trade lead melodies in each song," DeLong explained. "We all sing in all songs, but we trade out the melody line, and so it really does give out a compilation sound because of the diversity of our sounds."
The ladies of Lantana believe that the group reflects a lot of different views because each woman brings many life experiences to the table. In addition, they firmly believe that dreams have no limit of age or time.
"We love to be one of many examples of that," DeLong stated. "There are a lot of middle-aged women out there doing what they love. Our kids are watching us and know that we have a love for music."
In addition to being a member of Lantana and a full-time mom, DeLong, who was born and raised in Sulphur Springs and currently resides in McKinney, sings with the First Baptist Church choir in McKinney. Strother and Haddock, who live in Plano and Coppell respectively, are also active in extracurricular activities. Though the three families are constantly on the run, they are enjoying every minute of it.
"Feeling the energy from the people (at shows) and knowing they are enjoying being a part of what we do makes us feel accomplished," DeLong said. "Our shows are very high energy, and we like to entertain. If we have entertained someone and have made them escape a little bit through music and have a good time, then we feel like we have done our job."
Lantana's seven-song CD, "Life Is Good," is available at CDBaby.com and CD-Tex.com. More information about the group can be found at their website, www.lantanamusic.com.
Country crooner John Arthur Martinez made his music career debut when he competed and finished second on the USA Network's 2003 television series, "Nashville Star," a country music version of Fox's "American Idol." Now he is back performing in the East Texas music scene and loving every minute of it.
Through encouragement and support from his father's side of the family, Martinez, who was born in Austin and raised in the Texas Hill Country, realized his desire of becoming a songwriter and musician at an early age. A published poet by the age of 9, he eventually turned his poems into lyrics.
The pressures of everyday life, however, put his dream on hold multiple times and led him to believe that a career in the music business might not be the best decision.
"There were several times I tried to remove the safety net of a regular day job, but had to return there to get the bill collectors off my back," said Martinez.
Martinez graduated from high school and attended college on a tennis scholarship. His dreams of becoming a songwriter/musician were placed on the back burner as he graduated with an English degree. Soon after, however, the singer-songwriter in him surfaced, and he longed for that dream career.
"The first time I realized I had no choice but to be a songwriter was when I dropped out of grad school at the University of Arizona," stated Martinez. "The final time was when my wife encouraged me to participate in 'Nashville Star' — so I had to resign as part-time tennis coach at the local private school. I had already resigned from full-time teaching five years earlier."
Martinez and his band, Tejas, bring energy and musicianship to every performance and describe their music as "music that involves all of the Texas-related genres like Western swing, Tejano, folk, rock and of course, honky tonk-influenced country music."
They also credit Texan audiences for their support.
"Texans know how to have a good time. They know when to listen carefully," said Martinez. "They know when to holler out 'Yee-haw!' They know when to waltz and when to two-step."
Martinez admits it is sometimes difficult to juggle a music career and a family, though his wife and four children travel with him regularly, but he feels his career is worth the effort.
"I love making people smile, cry, think, laugh, dance," said Martinez. "In other words, I love to connect emotionally with an audience with my songs."
Martinez has said that he hopes to win a Grammy of his own someday, even though he was a songwriter a few years ago in a Grammy-winning project, Flaco Jimenez, which includes Flaco, Raul Malo of the Mavericks, Radney Foster and Leroy Parnell.
He encourages youngsters interested in the music business to find out all they can about the keys to success and past entertainers.
"Young musicians need to learn all they can about the history of what they do, the legends," Martinez explained. "They need to learn about sound reinforcement; they need to become the best songwriters possible. They need to learn about music law, marketing. There's too much competition out there. You have to give yourself all the tools necessary and never burn bridges. If you accidentally burn one, immediately get back out there and rebuild it."
Music from John Arthur Martinez can be ordered through his website, www.johnarthurmartinez.net. His latest release, "Lone Starry Night," is available at all major retailers, including Best Buy, Hastings and Wal-Mart.
Lantana is set to open for John Arthur Martinez at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 17 at the Hopkins County Civic Center. Tickets are on sale now at the Civic Center and can be purchased for $12.50 in advance or $15 at the door the night of the show. For more information, contact the Civic Center at 903-885-8071.

Kevin Levin, the observations and opinions of those from "the outside" of the education establishment - a.k.a., "Big Education" - are "worthless" when it comes to criticizing and critiquing the various shortcomings of America's highly politicized, and increasingly indoctrinating, educational system. That's an interesting perspective. I find that opinion particularly arresting since I am a father of 6, grandparent of 13 (soon to be 14, Lord willin'), and a taxpayer. Though I've never worked as a paid educator, I did homeschool 4 of my 6 children, do some private tutoring, coach youth basketball, teach Sunday school, and lead a 4H youth group. So, in a very legitimate sense, I am an "educator." I'm just a volunteer though, I don't get paid for my services. Does that make my contributions, opinions, and observations about education "worthless"? I don't think so. Most parents involved in their community could make the same legitimate claim. So, are parents, grandparents, and taxpayers really "outsiders" when it comes to public (or even private) education? Again, I don't think so. Let's not forget what should be obvious: were it not for parents, schools would be empty and teachers would be unemployed. Parents produce the raw material, so to speak, for what should be the ultimate product: responsible citizens who are productive members of a free society.
Here's the link with the "artwork":
Israel is F****** evil
Right Wing Evangelical Christians are F****** evil
The Founding Fathers were F****** evil
That's just a sampling. Would anyone like to defend that? You can go to the link above and see it for yourself. No, there's no anti-American, leftist radicalism going on here. These are, of course, just the worthless observations and anecdotal examples from a father, grandfather, and educator who some would label an "outsider." Move along, nothing to see here. Sorry, but this "outsider" does not see this event as a "wonderful opportunity" for anyone, especially educators.

KALISPELL, Mont. (AP) — With its jagged peaks, glistening lakes and lush valleys, the Inland Northwest is a stunningly beautiful and remote part of the country. But the area, stretching from eastern Washington to Montana's Glacier National Park, is a cradle for anti-government activity.
That reputation has been most recently rekindled by the manhunt for David Burgert. The former Kalispell militia leader is accused of opening fire on sheriff's deputies in the Lolo National Forest.
After a lull following the demise of the Idaho-based Aryan Nations in 2000, experts say anti-government and white supremacist groups and individuals may be reviving in the Inland Northwest.
The number of radical right groups is growing nationwide because of the poor economy, rising immigration and fears that President Barack Obama's administration has an agenda to curtail individual liberties.

The Brill Building, located at 1619 Broadway in the heart of New York's
music district, is a name synonymous with an approach to songwriting that changed the
course of music.
The Brill Building sound came out from the stretch along Broadway between 49th and 53rd streets. The Brill Building (named after the Brill Brothers whose clothing store was first located in the street level corner and would later buy it), was at 1619 Broadway. With its many offices, one can only imagine the office cleaning NYC had to do to accommodate the reams of paper and ink that were used writing those brilliant songs. After its completion in 1931, the owners were forced by a deepening Depression to rent space to music publishers, since there were few other takers. The first three, Southern Music, Mills Music and Famous-Music were soon joined by others. By 1962 the Brill Building contained 165 music businesses.
The Brill Building in the early '60s was a classic model of vertical integration. There you could write a song or make the rounds of publishers until someone bought it. Then you could go to another floor and get a quick arrangement, lead sheet for $10, get some copies made at the duplication office; book an hour at a demo studio; hire some of the musicians and singers that hung around; and finally cut a demo of the song. Then you could take it around the building to the record companies, publishers, artist's managers or even the artists themselves. If you made a deal there were radio promoters available to sell the record.

It is now usually understood of the lords spiritual, the lords temporal, and the commons.
It is for the peers to arrange the rest; their lordships, the lords spiritual and temporal.
The lords spiritual have not always sat in the House of Lords.
The House of Lords is composed of lords spiritual and lords temporal.
This is what ought to be said; and I look for it, if not from lords spiritual, then even from lords temporal.
Let the lords spiritual quit themselves of simony, we laymen will look after the heretics for them.

Center for Urban Population Health
Measuring Health
Measuring the Health of Milwaukee
The Center for Urban Population Health (CUPH) and the City of Milwaukee Health Department have prepared the Milwaukee Health Report by analyzing local data in order to update information on the relationship between health and socioeconomic status.
The goal of this report is to provide policymakers and community organizations with meaningful information that can be used in addressing Milwaukee's health issues.
Now in its fourth year, this report continues to summarize the current health of Milwaukee, as well as the distribution of key factors that may have implications for future health.
Want to Learn More?
There are multiple ways to learn more about the Milwaukee Health Report. Download the report at www.cuph.org/mhr.
View the full four page profile of the Milwaukee Health Report as part of the celebration of the Power of 10.
In addition, CUPH are pleased to share two videos created to provide an additional resource for those interested in understanding the process and project.
The Milwaukee Health Report video talks with a few individuals who use the report and provides insight to how the report has supported their missions.
Unplugged: The Milwaukee Health Report provides a simple and brief overview of the methodology and findings of the report. This video is without PowerPoint presentations or podiums, just our staff and a whiteboard.
Tracking Health Care Improvement
The Milwaukee Health Care Partnership brings together health care providers, government agencies, and community organizations to develop and implement a plan for change. Through education and action, they are working together to increase access to quality health care and create a healthier future for Milwaukee residents.
Founded in January 2007, the Milwaukee Health Care Partnership demonstrates that through collaboration, better plans can be implemented that address the needs of our community, and ultimately increase access and improve health outcomes – especially for those who are most vulnerable.
CUPH is contracted by the Milwaukee Health Care Partnership (MHCP) to develop and continually update a series of data reports that monitor health care coverage and utilization by the community. The Center assists in tracking performance data so that the MHCP can measure progress as it works to improve health care coverage, access and care coordination for un- and underinsured individuals in Milwaukee County. In addition, CUPH is available to analyze data and generate special reports upon request. Learn more about this collaboration in this four page project profile.
The Health of Milwaukee
CUPH is proud to offer this a new website as a resource for our academic, community and governmental partners found at http://www.healthofmilwaukee.org/
The goal. This website supports one of the Center's strategic goals to promote the interaction among producers and users of research to inform effective programs, policies and interventions.
The aim. The Health of Milwaukee is a platform to share local health related reports, publications and information in a centralized site that aims to reduce the barriers of use and support knowledge transfer among those creating and implementing policies, programs and seeking to improve practices in Milwaukee.
Share. The Health of Milwaukee is free and open to the public. The reports, publication and information are not solely Center materials. The content comes from a variety of sources. If an individual or organization has a report or publication focusing on the public and population- level health of the greater Milwaukee area and would like to share it, feel free to submit the work and share it here.


text: Just to add a Brian story - years ago - in one of the forums, I had posted that I had an ancestor in the 14th Brooklyn - wounded on July 1 etc. A week goes by, and I receive an e-mail from some guy named Brian of the 5th New York Reenactors. He was forwarding my info to a friend of his (Pat Scroeder - lead historian at Appommatox), and would put me in touch with him. Seems my ancestor, after recovering, went into the 5th N.Y. Vet. Volunteers, and was killed at Petersburg - and Pat mentions him in his book on the 5th New York Vet. Vols. - besides sending me all the records etc. pertaining to him (really nice). Afterwards, I find out from Pat, that it was Brian Pohanka who corresponded with me and set the wheels in motion. I was flabbergasted that a man who was esteemed in the C.W. community, took the time out to help me in this quest - Brian was truly one of a kind !!!! Regards, Tom B. -----Original Message----- From: Margaret D. Blough Sent: Monday, January 30, 2012 12:31 PM To: GDG Subject: Re: GDG- Gettysburg Movie Question Esteemed GDG Member Contributes: Bruce- Same here about the address book. He did love LBH. I remember at a CS CW Forum reunion at Gettysburg, he and another Forumite who also was an LBH student, spent most of one dinner off by themselves intently discussing where ammunition had been found during the archaeological studies at LBH at what this meant. My best moment with him was when I accidently helped him identify when a member of the 5th NY died and where he was buried (The 5th NY reenacting unit, which was another of Brian's passions, was trying to make a record of this for all of the members of the original regiment and the veteran regiment). It was accidental because I posted to him on the CS CW Forum about a story my sister had sent me from Pound Ridge, NY about the local garden club decorating the grave of a M edal of H onor recipient as their that year's annual Memorial Day project. I did it only because Brian loved stories about efforts being made to honor veterans graves. I didn't think anything more of it, because the recipient mentioned , 1st Sgt. Thomas J. Murphy, who received it because of his actions at Five Forks, was correctly identified as belonging to Company G of the 146th NY at that time . Brian replied, thanking me profusely . It turns out that Sgt. Murphy had originally enlisted in the 5th NY to help fill its decimated ranks after Second Manassas. When the 5th NY was mustered out, he and a number of others had time left on their enlistments. Like him many transferred to the 146th NY because it was also a NY Zouave regiment. Based on the article, we were able to determine that the reason that there was no record of Sgt. Murphy's death in the military records was that he died a childless widower so there was no one to report his death and apply for a survivor's pension. Brian was so thrilled that one of the 5th NY's lost lambs had been found.
