Chemistry professors to patent fluorescent probes
If all goes as planned, work in the medical science and diagnostic industries will advance because of the research of two UW-Eau Claire chemistry professors. Dr. David Lewis, an organic chemist, and Dr. Scott Hartsel, a biochemist, have developed a new class of probes (or dyes) for fluorescence microscopy of live cells. The probes can potentially be used for a variety of medical and diagnostic purposes, ranging from mass screening of cholesterol-lowering drugs to stem cell or cancer research to studying metabolic diseases of lysosomes such as Tay-Sachs disease, Lewis and Hartsel said. The two are working through the patenting process with WiSys Technology Foundation, an organization that offers UW System faculty free patenting and licensing services. Full story.
UW-Eau Claire ranks No. 2 nationally among master's level institutions sending students to study abroad for at least a semester, according to the newest Open Doors Report from the Institute for International Education. "We're excited because this ranking reflects our commitment to semester-long study abroad programs," said Karl Markgraf, director of UW-Eau Claire's Center for International Education. Unlike programs at some universities, a majority of UW-Eau Claire's study abroad programs involve students studying in a country for a period of months rather than weeks, Markgraf said. Research indicates that shorter programs sometimes perpetuate stereotypes because students don't have enough time to decode the culture and understand it, Markgraf said, adding that UW-Eau Claire's commitment to longer programs dates back more than 20 years. Full story.
Federal grant funds initiative to reduce high-risk drinking
UW-Eau Claire has been awarded a $300,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Education to launch a comprehensive program aimed at reducing rates of drinking among first-year students. The program will be implemented through UW-Eau Claire's newly created Center for Alcohol Studies and Education and will involve collaboration among the university, the Eau Claire City-County Health Department, law enforcement, alcohol distributors, parents and students. "When it comes to alcohol abuse prevention, you have to fight fire with fire, and that takes money and staffing," said Jodi Thesing-Ritter, UW-Eau Claire's associate dean of student development. "This grant will enable the university to move forward with an important alcohol initiative at a time when there is no state money available for staffing or program development." Full story.
Despite a tight job market and struggling economy, UW-Eau Claire graduates are finding jobs, a Career Services survey found. Ninety-seven percent of the 2003-04 UW-Eau Claire graduates responding to the survey were employed or continuing their education a year after graduation, said Jeanne Skoug, director of Career Services. And a majority of the graduates included in the survey — 59 percent — are working for businesses and organizations in Wisconsin, Skoug said, noting that 23 percent are working in the Chippewa Valley. Seventy-four percent — or 1,322 of the 1,797 graduates — responded to the survey. Eighty-two percent reported they were employed full or part time, and 15 percent reported they were continuing their education. Less than 1 percent reported they were seeking employment. Full story.
UW-Eau Claire's Materials Science Center serving Wisconsin businesses
Before connecting with scientists at UW-Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls-based Northern Crossarm Co. was spending significant dollars to get its wood products weather tested. "The analysis was costing the company a lot of money because it had to send samples to a testing facility in the state of Washington," said Dr. Kim Pierson, professor of physics and astronomy. Now, thanks to state-of-the-art equipment in UW-Eau Claire's Materials Science Center and faculty consultants, the 83-year-old company is doing the analysis for a fraction of the cost. The project with Northern Crossarm is an example of the kind of connections UW-Eau Claire has made with regional industries in the year since it opened its Materials Science Center. Full story.
Alumni events promise Blugold summer fun
UW-Eau Claire alumni and friends are invited to participate in the following UW-Eau Claire Alumni Association events (for complete details, registration information and additional future events, visit the online Alumni Events Calendar):
A UW-Eau Claire alumni couple who needed financial assistance to obtain their college educations will be returning the favor for future generations of college students. David Suchla, a 1969 UW-Eau Claire graduate, and Jeanette Hatfield Suchla, a 1970 graduate, have endowed a new $1,000 scholarship to help high school students from their hometowns of Holcombe and Arcadia. The first award recipient will be selected in spring 2006 and will receive the award to attend UW-Eau Claire in the 2006-07 academic year. "Both of us are from families that worked hard to make a living and where money was definitely at a minimum," said Jeanette Suchla. "Without that assistance, it would have been very difficult for our parents to come up with the money to cover our college tuition and expenses." The Suchlas' gift is recognized as a contribution to the Fulfilling the Promise of Excellence, the UW-Eau Claire Foundation's ongoing comprehensive fundraising campaign to benefit UW-Eau Claire's people and programs.

LINCOLN, Neb. -- Missouri defensive back Clayton Baker could do little more [Back | Archive]
Send questions or comments to: firstname.lastname@example.com
than scratch his head and wonder about the luck -- or lack thereof -- the
Tigers seem to have.
Granted, it would have taken more than luck for the Tigers to avert a 57-0
thrashing yesterday at Memorial Stadium at the hands of No. 2-ranked Nebraska
(6-0, 2-0 Big Eight).
The loss tied the sixth-worst defeat in school history and was the worst of
Missouri coach Larry Smith's 19-year career.
But Baker was astounded with a turn of events that came at the end of the
first half for the Tigers (2-4, 0-2).
The final drive of the second quarter took Nebraska just 25 seconds, but it
proved to be significant.
At first, it appeared Nebraska might end the half without scoring. Quarterback
Tommie Frazier completed a 9-yard pass to Clinton Childs, but then two of his
passes fell incomplete.
The Cornhuskers faced fourth and 1 on the final play of the second quarter.
Nebraska could have kicked a 46-yard field goal, but coach Tom Osborne decided
against it.
Instead, Frazier threw for the end zone where two Nebraska players awaited.
Baker was the lone defender because, Smith said, defensive back Caldrinoff
Easter didn't ``jam the inside guy.''
Wingback Jon Verdal tipped the pass, which fell into the outstretched hands of
Brendan Holbein for a touchdown. Baker said he thought he knocked the ball
away to make the play, but to no avail.
``It just makes you sick to see those things happen,'' MU noseguard Steve
Martin said.
Baker said even though he was the only player defending two Nebraska players,
he thought he had a good read on the play.
``Early in the game, Tommie went to the second receiver, and this time I was
aware,'' Baker said. The receiver and I ``both broke in on the ball. But this
is one where Coach Smith calls it an Oh'' darn ``play.
``It's just our luck. I thought I had knocked the ball away and made the
Frazier said that an earlier failed fourth down conversion stuck in his mind.
On the Cornhuskers' first drive of the game, Nebraska faced fourth and goal
from the 1, but true freshman Ahman Green was stuffed on a run.
``That made us think twice and say, `Hey, these guys are ready to play today,
it's not going to be easy,' '' Frazier said. ``I pulled the offense to the
side and said, `We're going to have to get in the game.' ''
Frazier's touchdown pass extended Nebraska's lead to 28-0. The drive was set
up after tight end Miguel Gonzales fumbled. Gonzales caught a 15-yard pass
from Brandon Corso but was hit by Mike Minter and lost the ball.
``I got the ball and tried to turn upfield, and one of the guys hit the ball
out of my hand,'' Gonzales said. ``I felt we could have gained momentum if I
would have held on to the ball.''
Defensive coordinator Moe Ankney said for a while he thought the Tigers might
have held the Cornhuskers to only one touchdown in the first half.
But that clearly would be difficult as Nebraska took advantage of some prime
field position Missouri gave it.
The Cornhuskers scored four touchdowns in the first half, and three of those
drives were a meager 31, 27 and 38 yards.
``I thought we had things going well,'' Ankney said. ``I thought we were going
to keep it to 7-0, and then all of a sudden, bam, bam, bam. They got three
touchdowns, and that took it out of us.
``That last play was really just a freak.''
Baker said he hasn't exactly learned to accept such oddities, instead he
wonders why the Tigers seem to suffer such a disproportionate number of
strange occurrences.
``Sometimes you have to take these kinds of things with a grain of salt,''
Baker said, ``or maybe a mound.''

Nebraska. Jones was 0 for two passing and gained 7 yards on eight carries.

VALENCIA -- It seems things are going to be interesting in the second half in the Foothill League.
The Valencia boys soccer team made sure it would begin the second part of league play atop the standings.
Zack Klindworth scored in the middle of the second half, then Valencia used a solid defensive effort for a 1-0 victory Tuesday over visiting West Ranch.
The Vikings (12-4-2, 4-0-1), who are unbeaten in their past five matches, have sole possession of first place with 13 points followed by West Ranch with 12.
And it was the second half that was the key for Valencia, which put constant pressure on the Wildcats' defense.
Valencia had a shot hit the left corner of the crossbar in the 43rd minute and the following minute, Jesus Fernandez drilled a free kick from the 20-yard line right down that middle of the box that was stopped on a two-handed save by West Ranch goalkeeper Alex Manzo, who had four saves.
The Vikings finally broke through in the 55th minute as Klindworth took a long pass from midfield from Jake Ferry, dribbled down the left side, beat two defenders, cut inside toward the right side and blasted the ball inside the far post.
"I broke through on a beautiful pass from Jake, got past the two defenders and took my chance," Klindworth said. "Once we got that goal, we had to play very defensive and make sure we were behind the ball the whole time. We deserved this win because we were the better team."
West Ranch (12-4-2, 4-1), ranked No. 7 in Southern Section Div. IV, outshot Valencia by a six-to-two margin in the final 20 minutes but was unable to convert. Justice Rodrigues had three shots for the Wildcats.
The senior had a 30-yard shot blocked in the 69th minute, a shot from the left side off a header by Wade McMillon missed wide left the following minute and a 20-yard free kick was knocked away by Valencia goalkeeper Gino Ferrero, who had five saves.
"We had our chances but just couldn't find the net," West Ranch coach Fred McGinn said. "We got caught up in playing silly kick ball for 15 minutes and it cost us. In the first half, we played how we normally play moving off the ball and passing. We couldn't break their defense. They put up a really good defense."

What do you think about when you think of mother's day? A spasm of guilt because you forgot to send a card until the last minute and it might not get there in time? Or maybe a moment of regret as you think about the lameness of the present you've bought.
But I wonder how many of you think about the big topic that should dominate tomorrow's celebrations? Never mind the lousy poetry and fluffy sentiments, the financial services industry has cut straight to the chase. Is she insured for enough? Because that's the message of several surveys published in the run-up to this year's mother day. She might be the rock of family life, but is her insurance valuation up to date?
And how much is the modern mother worth? According to Legal and General, there's a no-nonsense average figure of £407 per week. The insurer's Value of a Mum survey bases this figure on an average 64-hour week around the home. Less gallant readers will be doing their own maths and, realising that this works out at £6.36 an hour - a pretty cost-effective rate when a teenage babysitter wouldn't get off the phone for that kind of cash.
But resist such thoughts, because the survey wants to draw attention to how much it would cost to replace the myriad services of a mother - which they say is over £21,000 a year. This figure from Legal and General is calculated to include the cost of childcare, cooking, cleaning and housekeeping. Of course there will be middle class families in the 'chablis valleys' of north London who will have long since outsourced this work. And there will be other families where the housework is shared more equally between partners.
But the survey says that in many families, regardless of whether a mother also has a job, it's still mums who carry the housework burden in the home. And as the Value of a Mum survey asks: How would families cope 'if tragedy struck?'
Apparently more than two-thirds of men would expect to pay someone else to take on these tasks - but we woefully underestimate the cost, with men expecting to have their home lives run for them for £224 per week. If that's the case, they can't have seen a childcare bill since the days when Mickey Mouse was a junior mouseketeer. And they must be getting their dry cleaning done for a shilling by Widow Twankey. The survey, which reminds us of the need for life and critical illness cover, also points to the additional costs of children, which it puts at £104 per week.
I'm not quite sure where such cost-averse children live. But the most eloquent comment on the current cost of rearing children must come from the commercial breaks on children's television channels. They used to show adverts for toys, now it's wall-to-wall consolidation loans. But credit where credit is due, because the Legal and General's "average dad" was a more generous judge of his partner's value than some of the skinflints that the Norwich Union have been interviewing.
In their own research into a mother's worth, Norwich Union found that one in six men estimated that a mother's work could be replaced with under £100 per week. But one in 20 men - and they must be the ones who buy the ludicrously large champagne bottles in gift shops - think they would have to pay almost £1,000 per week. Norwich Union's survey, using Office of National Statistics data, sets a higher average figure of £29,000 for the annual value of a mother's contribution to the home, outside of employment.
The survey, having asked the rather provocative question: "What would dad expect to pay to replace mum?" says that almost a third of mothers in the survey did not have life insurance. And it adds that families who have not made any provision for 'if the worst were to happen' could face a 'financial nightmare'. Such surveys highlight the financial problems that would confront fathers if anything happened to the mother.
But Philippa Gee, investments director at financial advisers Torquil Clark, points to the particular concerns facing single parents with dependent children. What financial protection would be available to their children if the parent died or was too ill to work? It's not exactly the kind of question you're going to find on a mother's day card, but it's a serious matter for 1.23 million single parent families - a figure that has doubled in a generation.
Ms Gee says that as well as life cover and income protection, single parents should consider who could be a guardian for a child and make a will. "This empowers you as a parent and allows you to continue to influence your child's upbringing, even if you are not there. You can also arrange for some of the money to be put into trust for the child for them to access at key points in their life, such as a birthday, to learn to drive or to fund them through university."
But back to those greetings cards. Isn't the biggest financial question about mother's day the over-pricing of those cards? Paying £3 for a piece of cardboard would be bad enough, but to make it worse there have been low-pay stories in the past about greetings card envelope stuffers being paid 10 pence a hour. How about a survey on the way that shops don't even put a price label on these cards; they use incomprehensible codes only explained when you handover your cash?
And oh, I'm really sorry if it got stuck in the post, again, honestly.

A Little Piece Of Tokyo
The problem with Japanese fashion is that a) it's often hard to get (unless you travel frequently to Japan for some reason, lucky you), and b) it's expensive. To take a little piece of Tokyo home with you (you don't even need to take the trip), look to Votan Tokyo's sweet bow stud earrings. The shiny fabric and sexy pyramid stud makes us think "black tie only," even though we'd totally wear these accessories everyday. Very kawaii and only $32.

It has come to my attention that some people have taken it upon themselves to tell people about why I wear heels everyday. I want to use my blog to set the record straight, and tell everyone why heels are just plain great! They aren't for getting attention, the are because of these reasons:
1. They make me walk better.
When I walk in heels, it is sooo much easier. Rather than having to think about the angle of my feet, or if I'm walking toe to heel, not heel to toe, I just walk. I have a stronger stride, and I feel way better.
2. The make me unique.
Being in high school, I am (basically) the only girl who wears heels. And not to sound full of myself, but before I started wearing them, no one did. Now there are a few girls who insist on doing so every now and then, but I don't mind. If you're a follower, be a follower.
3. The are associated with being sexy.
In many scenarios when men think of a woman seducing them, it involves some sort of sexy heel. Lets face it, stilettos just make women's legs, butt, and overall body, look amazing.
4. They make people notice me.
In a positive way, naturally. A couple of people I babysit for have commented that they like how I get dressed up, even when it's just to go babysit. I do not actually dress up, I just wear what I wore to school, but I'm not going to argue with a compliment from an employer!
5. They are associated with being professional.
When you think of a sucessful business woman, odds are she is wearing heels. Whether she is a teacher, doctor, lawyer, or a magazine editor, she wears the shoes. And a lot of the time, the pants.
6. They match my style.
As stated above, I have a dressier style than others at my school. I wear clothes that are closer to a teacher, or a 20 year old's wardrobe, than a 16 year old's. I love business style ruffle shirts, and business clothes. It's just who I am. Heels match that style. Flats look okay, but they don't give my outfits that boom. That wow!
7. They make me less self-conscious.
I've had self-esteem issues for a while, but I am getting much more confident in who I am. Heels make me feel powerful. When I walk in heels, I strut a little. I smile more. I feel amazing. If flats are water, heels are an ice cold glass of lemonade on the hottest summer day.
8. High heels are associated with higher status.
On reality shows many of the successful woman wear heels to work, and to run errands. They strut their stuff, and to be truthful, they look hot doing it. Heels are associated with high status, both in work, school, and life overall.
9. They have a better range of variety.
With flats you have a very limited amount of space for style. With heels there are so many different options. The heel itself, the pattern, any sort of added sparkle, or buckle. You can design a heel for anything, and it can be one of the most unique pair of shoes ever.
10. The make me look better.
It's pretty well known that heels lift your legs and buttocks, and make you look gorgeous. They make legs skinnier, and butts better shaped. They just plain make you a bit more attractive.
Lovelies, do you wear heels everyday? Why or why not? What are some of the other fabulous benefits of wearing heels?

Thank you so much for this tip. It has helped tremendously to keep up on the things I want to but not to take up too much of my time. THANK YOU, THANK YOU! And Marci, thank you for putting a RSS feed on your website!


text: Hi Kris and team, Perhaps because of very busy traffic, but downloading apps is not consistent and stopped completely. For instance when I want to download Opera browser, it starts downloading but very quickly (within the second) I get an error message. If I do it later, it will be done ok. I am in the Netherlands. To which server I can do a traceroute to see where the trouble is ? And a ping ? Best regards, Hans -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

There is limited parking at the summit, and spectators wont be allowed to park at the summit. Pets are not allowed on the shuttle vans.

The X Factor Teaser Trailer
It's nearly that time of year again - X Factor.
It's all change this year, with only Louis remaining from the original panel. He'll be joined by Gary Barlow (yum!), Kelly Rowland (Independent woman and chart topper) and...well, Tulisa (um, she's down with the kids and that).
I'm not entirely won over by the judging panel if I'm honest, but then the show is nothing without a bunch of talented and untalented contestants - so there's still hope.
What do you think about the new panel?

Teledildonics (also known as "cyberdildonics") are electronic sex toys that can be controlled by a computer to reach orgasm.[1][2] Promoters of these devices have claimed since the 1980s they are the "next big thing" in cybersex technology.[3] "Teledildonics" can also refer to the integration of telepresence with sex that these toys make possible — the term was coined in 1975 by Ted Nelson[4] in his Computer Lib/Dream Machines.
In its original conception, this technology was to have been used for remote sex (or, at least, remote mutual masturbation), where the physical sensations of touch could be transmitted over a data link between the participants. A report in the Chicago Tribune in 1993 suggested that teledildonics was "the virtual-reality technology that may one day allow people wearing special bodysuits, headgear and gloves to engage in tactile sexual relations from separate, remote locations via computers connected to phone lines."[5]
Sex toys that can be manipulated remotely by another party are currently coming onto the market.[6] These toys sometimes come with prerecorded movies to which the toys' actions are synchronized by means of a previously-written script. Other products being released fit a new category called bluedildonics, which allow a sex toy to be controlled remotely via a Bluetooth connection. A report in 2008 suggested that teledildonics, along with text and email and webcams, can be used to "wind each other up to fever pitch during the working day" as a prelude to sex with a human during the evening hours.[7] New technologies can help people establish "emotional connections" via the web.[8] A book reviewer of David Levy's Love and Sex with Robots in The Guardian in 2008 suggested that teledildonics was "but one stage in a technological and social revolution in which robots will play increasingly "attend to our needs with magic fingers"; Levy argued that by 2050 "sex with robots will be commonplace."[2] Some products have been shown at the Museum of Sex in New York City.[9]
There also exists a DIY community experimenting with teledildonics, centered on opendildonics.org, the Slashdong blog and the Arse Elektronika conference.

In an exasperated voice "Why is it so hard to get designers in open source." I hear this all the time. Well firstly, it depends on what sorts of skills you're talking about. Just like in code, there are small tactical problems that are good first bugs. Even the simplest issue requires a knowledge of the design patterns that the site employs.
Many of the bugs, however, require a deep understanding of why the product exists in the marketplace and a thorough understanding of the research that underpins the project. These strategic questions are analogous to what a software architect would do. I was on the Persona project full time for three months before I felt confident making significant choices about UX.
Open source generally isn't welcoming to designers. A shock, I know! There are many reasons for this.
- In general, coders don't know what to expect from us. My conception of what I do often bears little resemblance to what coders think I do. When I join a team that's never worked closely with a UX designer, I have to educate them. Otherwise, there's a gap of misunderstanding that leads to stress and unhappiness. We get up in your business and ask you to change things that you don't want to change because
- It seems trivial and unimportant.
- Conversely, it's too hard.
- You don't agree.
- Ultimately, we're beholden to convince a dev to implement our bug, likely because we don't code or even if we do it's not the best use of our time to be implementing. (If you want to pick a fight, insult a designer by asking why we don't "just learn to code.") We're starting from a disadvantaged position. In version control systems such as github, code talks and designers don't speak the language.
- Probably the most daunting question for projects without any design lead that has the trust of the team is, how do the devs know if the proposed design is correct? Without that trust, bugs quickly devolve into nasty arguments. How you build that trust has been the subject of entire books. But the question remains, who and how do you approve a mockup? The code review process works great for just that… code.
- Github issues and their parallels track problems at a level of granularity that's useful for devs. The UX problems that constitute my work are of a much larger granularity. When I add such a strategic issues to the tracker, it makes devs uncomfortable. There's nothing actionable here. There's nothing to implement. My job is to think through big issues. By the time I've converted it into something a dev would recognize as a bug, my work is done. Thus, representing the work of a designer requires a shift in culture of the dev team so that they won't close down my issues.
- My UX bugs are all tracked publicly in Persona's github and yet I can count on one hand the number of UX volunteers that have contributed to the project. It's not that there aren't any good first bugs, its that there is a shortage of UX/UI designers in the market. Yes, I'm sure Mozilla could do a better job of getting designers to volunteer. We know it and we're working on it.
The solutions to all these problems lie in communication and building a trusted relationship. It's a higher barrier for designers that takes time to overcome. I've found all of my team to be receptive when I've taken the time to explain the principles that guide my decisions. I work with an awesome group of super smart folks! They just need to know I've got this handled. The longer we work together, the more shorthanded my explanations can be. Designers start by renovating small stuff and move up to innovating as they build their reputation. As the paid UX designers in Mozilla change the culture, it will become more welcoming because we will have laid the groundwork. Recommended reading: How to socialize UX into your project and the post I wrote a year ago about design leadership.
And yes, we are actively hiring. It's an amazing place to work. If there's a specific position you're interested in, send a holler to me directly at email@example.com.

LARAMIE, Wyo. -
The Wyoming Cowgirl basketball team (2-0 overall) recorded a 30-point victory, 68-38, in their home opener against the Montana Lady Griz (0-2 overall), on Sunday afternoon, in Laramie.
"I thought today's game was one we showed up with great focus," said UW head coach Joe Legerski. "We shot the ball extremely well, and it's always easier to shoot when you have an eight to ten point lead. I was happy we got 23 points from our bench. They really stepped up. Kristen Scheffler gave us a big lift in the first half when Aubrey was in foul trouble. Bec Campigli came in and gave us intensity in transition. We went on a 17-2 run over the last eight minutes of the first half, and a tremendous part of that was Bec pushing the basketball. Another player off the bench with a solid performance was Chaundra Sewell. If you take a look on what we were able to accomplish today, I'm happy that the majority of players played in the 20-minute range."
Two Cowgirls finished in double-figures led by sophomore Emma Langford. She recorded a team high 13 points while adding six rebounds in 28 minutes of play. She was followed by Chaundra Sewell with a career high 11 points and five rebounds. Hillary Carlson led the way with a game high eight rebounds, while adding nine points. As a team, Wyoming shot 27-61 (.443) and out rebounded the Lady Griz 49-35. They also had 28 points in the paint and 23 points off the bench.
Montana was led by Shaunte Nance-Johnson with ten points, while Alyssa Smith added seven points. The Lady Griz shot 16-65 (.246) from the field and 4-20 (.200) from beyond the arc.
Wyoming struck first with two three point field goals to take a 6-2 lead. Montana went on a 5-2 run to pull within one, 8-7, but the Cowgirls scored the next two baskets to regain a four point margin, 11-7. They extended the lead to double-figures, 20-9 by scoring 9 of 11. The Lady Griz went cold until a Lauren Beck jumper ended a four minute drought. Over the next several minutes, the scoring stayed even as the Cowgirls continued to lead. Wyoming would take a 39-17 advantage in to the halftime break as they out scored Montana 17-2 down the stretch and help them scoreless almost nine minutes.
In the second half the Cowgirls came and went on a 9-2 run to make it 48-19 through the first media timeout. A basket by Alyssa Smith would end an almost five minute drought by the Lady Griz, but a Randi Richardson three-point basket answered their score which made it 51-21. Montana went on a small run to try and chip away at the lead, 57-28. The Cowgirls answered with 11 of 13 to increase the lead to 38, 68-30, with 4:20 remaining in the game. The Lady Griz would score the last eight points of the game, but the Cowgirls still came away with the 68-38 win.
Wyoming will be back on the road for two games next week. They will take on North Dakota, on Wednesday, Nov. 18, and the North Dakota State Bison, on Friday, Nov. 20.

Nice to get thank you messages
Which way are you voting?
I don't normally post political things onto my company Facebook account but today is an exception and the referendum decision will change everything. I don't have time to put together an in-depth reason why I'm voting Brexit so the following will have to do for now.
- 1) Political Points –
- a. Imbalance of Power
- i. The commissioners initiate law change or the introduction of news laws and the MEPs simply ratify those new laws
- 01. This means that the people initiating change (those movers and shakers in the EU political scene) are put into place without consulting us
- 02. We cannot get rid of them
- 03. We do not see a manifesto seeing what they want to do in the future
- 04. With the MEPs only ratifying the laws that come to them from the commissioners we see that this is the opposite way round to the way UK politics works
- a. The house of commons brings in new laws (voted in people and the new law should be based on manifesto)
- b. The house of Lords (not voted in) gives the final 'yes' to the new laws
- 05. We cannot get rid of EU commissioners (let alone really know who they are and what they stand for)
- a. In the UK politics we have a fantastic ability to completely change the people who rule over us
- b. The most classic example of this is Winston Churchill
- i. Despite his huge personality he was voted out of power in 1945 as people wanted change
- ii. We voted him back into power in 1951
- iii. We have the ability to hire and fire no matter who the person is and what their personal connections are
- c. We cannot hire and fire at the highest level of the EU
- ii. Our influence in the EU is very limited despite the fact that we are the second highest contributor to it.
- 01. David Cameron proved, right in front of our eyes, that it is not possible to effect change to the direction of the EU
- a. He spent days negotiating for change before this referendum
- b. He didn't get the deal he wanted
- c. It is impossible for him to get the deal that he wanted
- 02. Whitehall officials worry that Britain's influence in Brussels is falling
- a. Fewer British civil servants are taking up posts with the Commission or other EU bodies
- b. In 2013 UK supplied just 4.6% of Commission staff, despite Britons making up 12.5% of the EU's population
- c. France has 13% of EU population and 10% of all commission posts
- 01. David Cameron proved, right in front of our eyes, that it is not possible to effect change to the direction of the EU
- i. The commissioners initiate law change or the introduction of news laws and the MEPs simply ratify those new laws
- b. Outvoted
- i. Many EU decisions are taken under majority voting rules
- ii. This means that countries can be outvoted by groups of others and forced to accept decisions that they disagree on
- iii. Britain is outvoted MORE THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY
- 01. Between 2009 and 2015 Britain was on the losing side of 12% of QMV decisions
- 02. France, by contrast, was on the losing side of less than 1%
- c. We are NOT influential
- i. The data just shared show us that we are not a strong influence in the EU
- ii. Many 'Stay' politicians say that we must be in the EU to enforce change – but the fact remains that we are very wimpy when it comes to change
- iii. There are so many players now who can vote that the EU is now a place where personalities and personal persuasiveness will bring about change rather than national interest
- iv. It's a little like the Eurovision song contest –
- 01. it doesn't' matter how good your song is (or isn't) if you're not singing a tune that the people want to hear according to their personal tastes then you'll never win
- 02. Voting in the contest has been very much countries scratching each other's backs
- 03. There are too many contestants now for us to be influential
- 04. We are one small vote amongst a larger group who are looking for a tune we can't provide
- 05. Why am I saying this? Because we politically sing a different tune to the EU and we cannot change its direction
- d. Staying in, therefore, does not make us powerful but keeps us weak whilst we still pay the lion's share with Germany towards the costs
- e. Greece's problems are proof to us that, even when a nation takes to its streets and passes referendums against decisions made by the few in the EU, these have no effect on EU policy.
- f. The EU wants to replace the UK on NATO
- g. In the long term laws will be created to redirect the flow of cash from London to Brussels and London is our main financial power base for the nation – we'll see how politically strong or weak we are when that happens in the years to come…!
- h. Freedom of Movement
- i. More than 10% of Latvians now live abroad!
- ii. Among those 10% represent nearly 30% of its young people due to freedom of movement and the culture is decimated.
- iii. Europe's 'dream' is their nightmare with communities losing workers to make their home economy strong
- a. Imbalance of Power
- 2) Economic Points
- a. The EU hasn't balanced its books for over 20 years, if it was a business it would have been shut down long ago
- b. The EU provides a false sense of security to its members and they are not facing up to their problems
- i. Our country hasn't yet closed the deficit gap so we're still increasing in debt every year.
- ii. If we recover from our financial problems then we'll have achieved something that has never been done before in financial history
- iii. Europe's debt is worse than ours
- 01. Greece is suffering its worst financial crisis in history and cannot recover
- 02. Spain's debt is now 105% of GDP and effectively is, on paper, bankrupt
- 03. Italy will need bailing out at some point in the future
- c. We still have, after all of these years, a trade deficit with Europe so we need to continue to build relationships with America, Africa, the rest of the commonwealth and the world – which we are hindered in doing at the moment by being a part of the EU
- d. Wastage and money spent on admin
- i. In 2011 a think tank, called Open Europe, estimated that more than 10,000 Commission staff were paid more than £70,000 a year
- ii. 1 billion Euros are spent each year on translation costs
- iii. Every month hundreds of MEPs, their staff and translators and other officials, 10,000 people in all, move from Brussels to Strasbourg, where it sits for just four days, one estimation of this cost is £130 million per year
- e. Industrial support
- i. EU single market rules discourage governments from giving financial support to private companies to ensure that there are no commercial advantages over rivals from different countries within the EU
- 01. This means that we cannot help Tata Steel
- 02. Germany, however, subsidises their industries by paying for the energy bills of many large companies
- a. This is something that they 'won' before the rules were put into place – so the same rules don't apply to them (and never will)
- i. EU single market rules discourage governments from giving financial support to private companies to ensure that there are no commercial advantages over rivals from different countries within the EU
- 3) Bad communications
- a. We are told that leaving the EU is a leap in the dark
- b. It is just as much a leap in the dark to stay in the EU as it is to leave
- c. The EU is changing and will become a single European state (if we don't leave)
- d. We do not know what this state will look like or how we will do inside this new setup
- e. We are powerless to stop this from happening
- f. Norway voted 'out' and they were warned by their 'pro-Europe' politicians that it would be disastrous, job losses etc. None of it happened and they are doing wonderfully fine.
- 4) What I want
- a. I want people who make laws to be directly accountable to the public.
- b. I want our press to make a difference to those people who rule over us, at the moment our politicians are accountable to us through the press but no-one in Brussels cares what our papers say – Greece is proof of that.
- c. If things got bad and we had to march on the streets to protest I want those people who directly rule our country to think twice about what they're doing.
- d. I want us to be able to help our industry if things got tough in a particular area (like Tata Steel)
- e. I want us to make good decisions for our country rather than it be run by the few who love their 'dream' of Europe which does not live up to the nightmare that Greece is going through right now and will happen to others in due time.
- f. I want us, once we are strong again, to be able to help Europe put itself back together again with each country taking pride in its national people and building a strong society and culture that we can visit, trade with and enjoy.
These are just SOME of the reasons why I am voting out. There are so many more to consider, but I don't have the time to write. Please consider all that I've written before voting tomorrow. It is our unique chance to set ourselves up again on the world stage – just like before we joined the common market (which we were taken into by Edward Heath who did not give us the whole truth when we chose to enter at his invitation) and to be all that we are able to be, a strong country making a huge difference in the modern world, being capable of looking after our own people and looking out for others from a place of strength (rather than waiting on the unaccountable few who influence so many behind closed doors having conversations that we are not party to). Vote 'leave' and we can take our place again on the world stage. We can help ourselves and help others again from a place of strength. PLEASE SHARE THIS POST if you agree.
Selby Abbey Primary School website stats
It's great to see when a primary school website does what it is supposed to do. Tonight I've posted onto Selby Abbey's site one of their latest newsletters and dinner menus for Summer Term 2016. Then, even though it is almost 10pm, we had 30 people simultaneously online looking at the new materials on the site. This is because the website pushes out its new posts into the school's Facebook and Twitter feeds and emails out new posts to subscribing parents. This ensures that the school gets in touch with parents who are following the site via apps on their phones, tablets and PC's/Macs. The result, parents who are well informed and happy to visit the site, even at 10pm at night! Here are the stats below:

Ofsted Comments about our websites
Here's another Ofsted comment to add to the list. Below is a copy of an email sent to me from a head teacher. Her school had just been through an Ofsted inspection.
Good morning Tim,
Just wanted to let you know that we had our OFSTED inspection last week which went well and that the inspector was very complimentary about the website. She found it easy to use and find her way around and it gave her all the information that she needed- thought you might like to know!
Best regards,
Terri Coates,
Preston Primary School
To our primary school clients…
For any school that is on Bronze Level Support. Do you have money left at the end of the financial year and don't quite know what to do with it? Well your website renewal bill will be coming over to you in April. Why not see if you can pay if off early with any money left in the pot or, if you have more money, you could choose to pay for 2 years worth of hosting (10% off) or 5 years worth of hosting (20% off) and save yourselves some money in the long run. Then all you will need to do is to pay your support costs each year having saved a good amount of money on hosting.
New "Ready to Wear" style website.
Just created our first "Ready to Wear" website style for CAPSA Accountants. The site works on a long scroll with menu bar links that jump the viewer down the page.
At the bottom of the page is a high contrast site map with links to phone, fax and email along with more links taking you back up the page. The client wanted a very simple website and I think that we've come through with just that.
If the client had wanted they could have had a few pages added to the site, like "About Us" or "Contact Details" for example, but preferred to have a single page. The client also did not want to have social media "follow" options added to the site or a blog/news feed. These options are available for the price of the site.
The cost of this type of website is just £800.

St Vincent's Primary School's Video
St Vincent's Primary School have also added a video to the front page of their site today. It was initially created in PowerPoint and they sent it over to us. From that we created the video. This means that it is quite easy for school's to add video to their websites as all they need are PowerPoint skills, which most members of staff have.
Click on the link below to visit the website from where you can watch their video.
McMillan Nursery School Video
McMillan Nursery School have added a video to the front page of their website. It sits next to their welcome message and gives an excellent overview of their services, facilities and staff. Jam packed with personal recommendations it's just the ticket to show case who they are and what they do. Click on the image below to visit their website and play the video.

Q.What happens if we're on zero support and we wanted our site tweaking a little? Can we still ask you to change some pages for us etc?
Yes you can ask us to change pages but because you're on zero support we would have to make a charge of £25 per hour to do this for
you. Zero support is meant to be exactly that. You choose the zero support option in order to save yourselves money when you expect
nothing to need essentially changing on your site. Having said that, there is £160 difference between zero and bronze level support
so there are plenty of hours work that we can do on your site, if you suddenly found something needed doing, and you'd still make a
saving compared to being on bronze support.
More progress on the new website
New EasyWeb website made more progress today. Now got the site linked to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Tumblr and Google+. All posts will now appear in these Web2 info feeds. Also got the menus mainly sorted, the website features page and much of the front page. Perhaps 10-15 hours more work (maybe 20-25) and the site could be finished!

Been putting together the building blocks for a service where we can have a fully functional and populated website within 24 hours of the request coming in. This is specifically for Primary Schools as they have to fulfil a very specific Ofsted criteria. However, we may be able to extend this towards other business customers.
Airmyn Park Primary School
Airmyn Park Primary School are steaming ahead with their pupil blog.
They have an excellent number of categories for their site.
Breakfast and After School Club
Cropton Forest Class
Dalby Forest Class
KS2 Reading Challenge
Oakhill Wood Class
Sherwood Forest Class
Woodland and Pond Diary
You can find the blog by going to the front page of their website and clicking on the pupil blog link as shown on the image below.
Beverley Minster Embedded Video
Beverley Minster Primary School is just beginning to use the 'unlisted' YouTube video cloud facility. 'Unlisted' means that the video cannot be found on YouTube itself. The video sits in the cloud and can only be watched when its code is pasted into the website post. This means that you can share the video on your website page.
Have a good look at the video that Beverley Minster have made of their children singing in Beverley Market square. It can be accessed through the Special Events link on the front page. Click on the image below to visit the site.
Q. How do you normally go about collecting the information for the website?
A. We normally send over to you either a single document for you to fill in where there are headed paragraphs that will guide your thinking so that you can easily write about who you are and what you do or we send over to you a set of emails, each of which has a topic title, and as you answer the question on each email we tick off the list of things to do.
Q. Does website setup take a long time?
A. That normally depends on you. If you get the information over to us that we need, such as a description of your business, staff list, vision statement, product information, contact details, etc. then we can normally have the site up and running with a few weeks.
Haute Couture Style Discount
Q. Do you specialise in any type of client?
A. Yes we specifically specialise in primary school websites but we've created and supported sites from all kinds of business backgrounds.
Q. Do you have to visit us to setup a site?
A. No we can setup a site virtually from where we are.
Q. Does having a visit from you increase the cost of having a website?
A. A visit from us can increase the cost of the site but this depends on how far away you are from us.
Q. If I'm still learning how to use the site can I still send multimedia materials over to you?
A. Yes whilst you are still learning to use the website you can send over to us materials for updating your site that are currently beyond you I.T. capabilities.
Q. How can I send multimedia materials over to EasyWeb?
A. There are several different ways in which you can pass across information to us. One of the most popular ways in to setup a shared folder in a Dropbox account and to put your photos/video into that folder and Dropbox will naturally copy the files over to us. All you need to do after that is to email us to tell us that the files are there waiting for us to pick them up for you. There are also other tools that you can use to send files over to us such as www.transferbigfiles.com and Google Drive.
Q. Do you spell check any information we send over to you?
A. We do expect you to have fully checked any information for the website that we receive from you. We do, however, often cast an eye over any text you send over and we also have spell checking software that can pick up common spelling mistakes if your text is in the right format.
Q. Can I make my support level go up rather than down?
A. Yes. If you find that you need more help than the support level you're on currently allows we will increase your support level for you. Obviously this will mean an increase in your monthly payments so we would send you a new bill to cover the extra cost until the following April when the annual charges begin again.
Q. Why can't I stay on a higher level support forever?
We want all of our clients to be able to use the websites to the best of their abilities. It only takes a little time for you to get the hang of our websites and you can't break them. Our company policy is that you should work in partnership with us to ensure your website is up-to-date and serving you well. That's why we want everyone to be on a lower level of support. It will benefit you in the long run.
Q. What would an upgrade cost?
A. An upgrade would the cost the difference between the creation of your original site and the price of the new upgraded style.
Q. Can I easily upgrade my website?
A. Yes. When we create your website we also copy over all of the coding that will allow us to take your site and change it into the upgraded version.
Q. Are there discounts for taking more than one year's worth of hosting and support?
A. There are discounts for hosting but not for support. See below for details.
2 Years hosting 10% off
5 Years hosting 20% off
Q, Do you ever have sales or special offers?
A. Yes we will have sales and special offers on website setup costs but not normally on support costs – EasyWeb staff wages normally come from support bills so they tend to remain the same from year to year.
Q. Who owns the websites you create?
A. Easy Web Computing Ltd owns all of the websites that they create. This is to stop someone from getting a site from us then moving it to one of their own servers and then taking the website apart to find out how we created it. We do not want all of our hard work to be stolen by someone else. However, having said that we own the site, as long as you keep to the terms and conditions of having a site with us you can be assured that you will have a website as long a you want.
Q. Are there any parts of the website that do belong to us?
A. If you were to leave us then any text you created for your site and any images you emailed over belong to you. We would, however, expect you to have kept a copy of these for your own reference.
Q. Who do you create websites for?
A. We create websites for business, mainly SMEs (that is small to medium sized enterprises) and these businesses must have a genuine product or service to offer that is viewable by all ages in society without being offensive.
Q. Who do you NOT create websites for?
A. Easy Web Computing Ltd will not create websites that are for political groups, pressure groups or ideology groups.

It seems the first reply to the OP in this thread http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=65691 no longer works -
ie: "<include name="recentlyaddedscript">" setting does not exist in my ~/Library/Application\ Support/Kodi/addons/skin.transparency file.
Is there a newer guide/thread that can guide me to increasing 'recently added' number of movies/tv shows to over 3?
Lastly, how is this not configurable in 2015? (assuming it still is not.. I wasn't able to find any setting - using Isengard 15.1 and downloading most recent Transparency skin)
Thanks in advance!

Milwaukee Talks: Former Summerfest director Elizabeth "Bo" Black
Elizabeth "Bo" Black, who served as Summerfest's executive director from 1984 until 2003, is a role model for professional women and a Milwaukee icon. Although she now lives in Scottsdale, Ariz., health issues and a recent achievement award keep Black in the local media and in the minds of Milwaukeeans.
Black's bleak bill of health started in 2001 -- just a year after she married former Brewers manager Tom Trebelhorn -- when she underwent surgery to repair an aneurysm. In February of 2007, Black suffered a stroke caused by a ruptured aneurysm and she was in a coma for two weeks with very little hope for survival.
However, the resilient Black came around, thanks to what she describes as a "miracle" generated by the power of love and music. Today, Black lives with coronary arterary disease and recently battled a devastating case of swine flu, but she continues to remain optimistic. Black says she recovered from the post-surgery depression that made her wish for death and she now cherishes every day.
OnMilwaukee.com spoke to Black via telephone about Summerfest, her health and her recent return to Milwaukee.
OnMilwaukee.com: How is your health?
Bo Black: On a scale from zero to 10, it's about a three or a four. I take so many pills for my high blood pressure.
OMC: Did you have a history of high blood pressure?
BB: Yes. When I was a little girl, about 5 years old, my dad tried to get an insurance policy and he was denied because my blood pressure was high even then. But life went on, and I didn't have issues in high school -- I was an athlete -- but when I was at Summerfest, my blood pressure would skyrocket and I would find myself at Columbia Hospital because of the stress from the job.
That's why it's so important for women, especially women with moderate-to-high blood pressure, to have an echocardiogram. This is so important. I feel like this is my contribution to society now: to remind women to get an "echo."
OMC: After your first surgery, you returned to Summerfest, right?
BB: Yes. My doctor told me to quit my job, but, knowing me, I didn't do what I was told. I kept working. My kids were in college and I was a single mom. I shouldn't have done this. I wasn't always professional because sometimes I had to work from my bed, but I was still successful. I had a lot of creative ideas at this time.
OMC: Your Summerfest career ended in 2003. Were you ready to let go?
BB: Summerfest did not renew my contract in 2003. There was talk of having me stay on as a consultant, but they decided it would be too hard to have me in the background, overseeing whoever took over. So, I didn't consult, and I came out here, to Arizona, to live with Treb (Tom Trebelhorn) because we had been in a -- what would you call it? -- I guess you would call it a long-distance marriage.
OMC: When were you and Treb married and how is your relationship?
BB: I married Treb on Aug. 15, 2000, but I knew him since 1991. We were planning a party to celebrate our marriage, but instead, I had a surgery to repair six aortic aneurysms and two leaky valves. I was told I had a three precent chance of not having stroke during this heart surgery, but I didn't.
Treb is still in baseball. He's in Oregon, managing the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes. We couldn't be more different. But we're both Democrats, and we both voted for Obama. We have that.
OMC: You were healthy when you first moved to Arizona?
BB: Yeah, I was doing OK, but then I started having these terrible headaches. I worked four hours a week at a clothing store and I was very dependable. I was there every Sunday, and when I didn't show up for work, (the owner) called 911, knowing that something was very wrong if I didn't show up or call. I would have called.
The paramedics found me at home and I was dead. I had had a stroke and I didn't have a heartbeat or brain function. One of my dogs was sitting on my head and he wouldn't get off. He was crying incessantly. He was so scared. They know more than people know.
I met one of the paramedics many months later who had found me and thanked him and he said he honestly couldn't believe I was still alive.
OMC: Did you have any visions or experiences during your "death" / coma?
BB: I was in a coma for two weeks and I "saw" a lot of people during this time. I sometimes see people now that I think I saw in my coma. I went up to someone at Starbucks and asked, "Do I know you or did I see you in my coma?" I kept thinking about my children and my grandchildren. And I thought Treb was one of my old boyfriends.
OMC: Did anything happen to bring you out of your coma?
BB: My daughters kept singing to me -- Sade, Seal, John Legend -- and a miracle happened. I started to recover. My daughters and the music brought me back. But I didn't know anything when I woke up. It was so horrible. I was so depressed. I couldn't walk. I asked, "Why did you save me?" I was a newborn. I thought the nurses at night were Summerfest security. I was all over the map. I did not want to live.
OMC: Do you still feel that way, Bo?
BB: No. The days aren't long enough now. I cherish every day.
OMC: What do you do with your time?
BB: I go to the doctor's office. I walk around and window shop, but I don't buy anything because of the recession. I laugh as much as I can. I watch "The View" every day just because I think Whoopi (Goldberg) is so funny. I walk around the block with my cane. I water plants. Yeah, I've come down a notch.
And I go to a lot of movies. The first film I saw after my coma was "Once" and I thought that was interesting because it was about music -- it won an Academy Award for one of the songs -- and music has always been such a huge part of my life with Summerfest. And then it saved me. My daughters singing to me saved me. I must really love music.
OMC: Is it true you're working on a book?
BB: Actually, I wrote the book and my daughter is rewriting it for me.
OMC: What was your first year at Summerfest like?
BB: It was 1984. It was before the Marcus Amphitheater and the main stage was on the north end of the grounds. Huey Lewis was booked the previous November for only $20,000 and he played the night before at Poplar Creek in Chicago and was paid five times more. So he took his time coming onstage, and the crowd got really wild, climbing the fence, and I thought it was already the end of my legacy.
OMC: Do you miss Milwaukee?
BB: I sure do. I was so sad to leave. I miss my old hangouts like Beans & Barley and Alterra. People know me in Milwaukee -- not the young kids, but the older people. I'm so proud of Milwaukee in so many ways. I've always been so proud of our ethnic festivals. It's a way for all different people to try to come together, to get along.
OMC: You recently returned to Milwaukee, right?
BB: Yes. I came back in May, to receive a TEMPO International Leadership Award.
OMC: Do you think being an attractive woman and a former Playboy model made you have to work extra hard for respect?
BB: Summerfest did not know I posed for Playboy when they hired me, but Bill Janz from the Sentinel wrote an article about me posing for Playboy, and so everyone found out. But I did not pose nude for Playboy -- I wore a sports jersey -- so it wasn't as scandalous as it might have been.
OMC: How would you describe your relationship with the media during your days with Summerfest?
BB: I was out there with the media, and I liked the media even though they made fun of me. I knew that as long as I was in the media it was a good thing.
OMC: What was the biggest skill or talent you brought to Summerfest?
BB: I am really good at fundraising. People knew when I was calling, I was calling for something. I didn't mean to have it this way, it's just what happened. When I was fundraising for the Marcus Amphitheater, I was down to just needing (money) for the grass area. So, I went on the radio, on WKTI, and I begged for dirt. Nothing was too low for me. Of course, they ran with it and made lots of jokes like, "Doesn't Bo have enough dirt on her already?"
OMC: You made huge efforts to get people to take the bus to Summerfest, right?
BB: Yes. When Summerfest started, only a few thousand people were taking the bus, but by the time I left, there were 500,000 or 600,000 people taking the bus. It became the in thing. At one point I made a commercial where I said, "Maybe you'll meet someone on the bus." This was so important for so many reasons. Mainly because it cut down on driving under the influence.
OMC: Tell me about Operation Summer Chance.
BB: There is a plaque for me in the Children's Area at Summerfest because of my commitment to kids. I started a program called Operation Summer Chance that hired kids for work and mentorship. Then, I would call foundations and get them to pay for the kids' college education for a year or two. Kids still write to me and say thanks. Actually, they say, "Thank you, Miss Black" and I always say, "Call me Bo."
I am so happy to have helped so many kids through this program, and my own kids learned from this, too. One of my daughters rescues animals, another teaches a hip hop dance class for (under-privledged) kids and my son is the one who always encourages his friends to finish school. I really believe the only way to make the world better is if every person does one thing every day to make someone else feel better.
OMC: How many jobs were created during your reign at the Big Gig?
BB: By the time I left, there were 50 or 60 full-time employees and 6,000 summer hires.
OMC: What are you like in your personal life?
BB: I am a listener, a helper, a mother. I am this to my kids and my grandkids and my friends, too.
OMC: How did you get the nickname "Bo?"
BB: My baptismal name was Elizabeth Josepha Bussmann, named by the priest. My father's name was Joe and my mom's name was Betty, and therefore in the spirit of the South, which St. Louis was considered to be, I was called Betty Jo, but luckily my little brother Joe III couldn't say Betty Jo, so it was shortened to Bo. My first hubby was named Bill Black, and so I have stayed Bo Black.
OMC: How many times have you been married?
BB: Treb is my third husband. I was married to Bill Black, Tom Lindemann and Tom Trebelhorn. I had Stephanie with Bill, and Kellyn and Blake with Mr. Lindemann, and Treb has four sons and three grandsons. I have two grandsons and one granddaughter. One of the few regrets I have is that I was a better mom than apparently a wife.
OMC: What do you still want to do?
BB: I wish I could run for office and knock everybody's socks off. At this age, there's nothing anyone could say that would stop me or bother me.
OMC: Summerfest question: Wine coolers or beer?
BB: Neither, actually. I never drank during work but afterwards, my first boss and I would have Dewar's on the rocks at the bar in our administrative offices. During Winterfest, however, I started drinking Miller Genuine Draft for the first time and I really loved it.
I'm a Miller girl. My son just reminded me that after my stroke I was begging the nurses for a MGD. So my son, who is a bankruptcy lawyer in California, snuck one into the hospital.
They thought I was nuts, but I was thinking, "If I'm gonna die, let me die with an MGD."

Summerfest was Bo Black's life. It's merely Don Smiley's job. Best wishes, Bo!

I agree, speakthetruth, Summerfest has taken a definite nosedive since this lady ran it. She knew the pulse of Milwaukee and knew how keep the fest diverse. For my money she is still one of the faces of (and a credit to) Milwaukee. We miss you, Bo!!!

Nice interview. I had the pleasure to meet Ms. Black a couple times in the restaurant below my apt. in The Shorecrest. She's an extremely charismatic, kind, classy, and stunning individual.

Summerfest and Milwaukee have never been the same since Bo Black got run out of town.

In fact, she moved away from home when she was 16 to attend an international school in Italy called the United World College of the Adriatic. That's where she developed a passion for politics. Since then, she has traveled to 14 different countries. She came to St. Louis last August with Teach for America and is currently teaching high school Spanish.
"Every day in my classroom I try to teach my students that if they believe in something, they need to go out and fight for it. Individuals have the power to change everything. This summer I wanted to personify that lesson by getting out and supporting President Obama. As a teacher at a public charter school in downtown St. Louis, I see the human impact of educational inequality and poverty every day. These issues aren't just about the numbers to me, they are names and faces and stories. They are my students. It is because of them and their equivalents around this country and across the world that I am supporting President Obama and why I identify with his mission to build 'a nation where everyone gets a fair shot, does their fair share and plays by the same set of rules.' "
Spend a little time with Deanna, or any of this summer's organizing fellows, and you will find a contagious enthusiasm for the President and his re-election campaign.
Join Deanna and the rest of the OFA-Missouri Team as we work toward victory in November.
