Up-close at the RNC
By Sue Dieter
Sun Tribune
Throughout the four-day Republican National Convention in St. Paul, 8,000 volunteers provided essential services in the areas of transportation, information services, hospitality, and special events.
Among the legions of volunteers at the event were two 2006 Morris Area High School graduates.
Justin Rohloff was a hospitality volunteer and Tracy White helped with security.
Rohloff volunteered in response to an e-mail from the state's College Republican organization.
"This is the first presidential election I'll get to vote in and I want to be involved," Rohloff said.
Rohloff's responsibilities at the convention included helping people find their seats, the restrooms and the food. He and White spent all of Labor Day at the XCel Energy Center, then worked from 3 to 11 p.m. the following three days.
Both Rohloff and White attend Northwestern College in Roseville, Minn., where Rohloff is chairman of the local College Republicans organization.
Despite the long hours spent at the convention, Rohloff didn't miss a single class. He is majoring in accounting and plans to graduate this year.
White is a sophomore at Northwestern, with a Business major. Likewise, she was able to get to all her classes and participate in the convention.
Rohloff says he really likes politics and he attended his first Stevens County Republican Caucus during his senior year of high school.
He was thrilled to be able to be at the National Convention to hear speeches from President Bush, Governor Pawlenty and of course, party presidential nominee John McCain.
The highlight of the convention for Rohloff was listening to vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
"Everyone was so excited to hear her speech. She was just such a breath of fresh air."
Rohloff was also impressed with John McCain's acceptance speech as well as the celebration that followed.
"The whole Convention Center was like a ball pit, there were so many balloons!"
Of course, the whole event was nothing like Rohloff had ever seen. He and White saw the protesters and even participated in a counter-protest near the state capital.
"It is such a different place than Morris," Rohloff said. "I've never seen anything like it. Some of it was very scary."
White agreed that the whole experience seemed unreal.
"I couldn't believe that I was at the Republican National Convention, in person. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity to have the convention in Minnesota and to be able to attend."
White agreed with Rohloff in that Sarah Palin's speech was the best of all she heard.
"She energized the convention and the Republican party."
Because White is a member of the Minnesota National Guard, she was assigned as a security volunteer.
"I was stationed at a delegate gate and helped with crowd flow."
She also got to see several celebrities, including Rudy Guiliani up close. In fact, she took a picture of Guiliani with a friend of hers.
But there were also about 20 protesters right outside her gate.
"They were pretty peaceful, though. And there was a lot of security on hand," including local DNR officer Tony Anderson. "It was kind of surprising to see him there, too."
Overall, both White and Rohloff said the entire experience was "great, just great to be involved in something like this."
Rohloff is staying active in politics, serving as an election judge in Roseville. And he's looking forward to the November election.
"We had about 20 percent voter turnout for the primary, which was about 2,000 people. The projection for the general election is 80 percent voter turnout. I just can't imagine. But it's just great to see people involved."
Speaking of seeing people, Rohloff reported seeing both celebrities and hometown folks.
When he was at the state capital, Rohloff said he was standing a couple of feet away from Jon Voight. The Academy Award-winning actor participated in several events during the Convention.
Additionally, Rohloff ran into fellow MAHS graduates Ashley Dohlen, Kaley Taffe and Chelsea Engebretson.
Taffe and Engebretson were able to attend the convention as guests of Rep. Torrey Westrom. The two were in the crowd when John McCain accepted his party's nomination for president.
Taffe is a freshman at the College of St. Catherine in St. Paul. She is majoring in Political Science and hopes to be a politician one day, so she was pretty excited with Westrom's offer.
"I had watched the first three nights of the convention on TV and was going to watch it again that night. But two hours before that night's events began, Torrey called to say he had two extra tickets.
"It was way louder, way more exciting than it looked on TV! The delegates were rowdy -- screaming and dancing."
Taffe is excited to think that one day she'll be able to say she heard the president speak at the National Convention.
"This is the first time I get to vote for our president. Who we pick will affect everyone's lives. We really should be paying attention.
"McCain's speech was very down-to-earth. It was like he was talking to us as individuals."
Taffe appreciated being able to attend the convention with Westrom.
"I did my sixth grade Minnesota history project on him and I've worked on his campaign ever since."
Engebretson is attending college in Rochester, so she had an hour drive to get there.
"It was a chance to see history being made," Engebretson said. "I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't been there. There was so much noise and so much excitement. It was definitely worth the drive."

And the 2011 Driving Champion Is? Dustin Johnson
The purpose of this study is to develop a new method for ranking driving ability amongst PGA Tour players. Currently the PGA Tour ranks golfers from first to last place in both driving distance and driving accuracy, and then adds the two ranks together for an overall measure of driving performance. The best drivers are the players with the lowest combined rank. While this measure accounts for both driving skills, information is lost by converting driving distance and driving accuracy to ordinal measurements.Thanks to the generosity of the PGA Tour, data from the PGA Tour Shot Link database has been made available. In this study, hole-by-hole level data is recorded for each player. Variables include: driving distance; distance to the hole after the drive; whether the drive was in the fairway, left rough, right rough, water, etc.; par for the hole; score on the hole; and others. With the level of detail now available in the data, a much more accurate measure can be made of the driving skill of each player.A linear mixed effects model was used to determine the actual value of driving the ball a certain distance and in a certain location. The predicted score on a hole, given the distance and location of the tee shot, was used to assess this value. Player was modeled as a random effect, to account for the correlation among the multiple measurements for each player. The Total Driving Performance measure developed in this study not only provides a more precise ranking method, but also quantifies the difference in driving skill from one player to another in terms of strokes gained or lost per round and per tournament.

The death of Clarence Jack Stone does not appear to be random, according to Capt. D.L. Lemmon, with the West Virginia State Police. Troopers said they've questioned several persons of interest.
Stone was shot and killed in the Hartland area of Clay County, WV, on Tuesday afternoon. According to police, it appears Stone suffered a gunshot wound to the torso. They said they believe a shotgun was used in this murder.
If you have any information, contact the West Virginia State Police at 304-587-9277.
Close family friends said Clarence Jack Stone, 65, was trying to change when he was shot and killed.
They said in the past two years, Stone had overcome a drinking problem and survived two car wrecks.
"He had quit drinking, quit swearing around us, exercised, lost weight," said Retta Brown, who knew Stone for more than 30 years. "We didn't expect him to go like this. This is just unbelievable."
Brown said she believes an argument led to the shooting that ended Stone's life on Tuesday afternoon.
"He'd argue that a black horse was white, but he wasn't really mean with it, unless someone provoked him," Brown said.
Investigators with the West Virginia State Police and Clay County Sheriff's Department are still looking into the details surrounding the murder. They've yet to make any arrests or identify suspects in the homicide investigation.
Stone's body was found in a garden on Sycamore Street in Hartland.
Troopers said Stone didn't own the property and actually lived in Indore. People in the area said they hope police make an arrest soon.
"He's running around here or her or whoever shot the man, he could shoot any of us," said Rita Runion, who drove from Procious to see the crime scene for herself.
Troopers told 13 News that they've visited the neighborhood before. In December 2012, police responded to a shooting on Sycamore Street that left one woman with non-serious injuries.
Police would not say whether the two incidents are related.
Friends said Stone owned a camper in the Hartland area where he stayed during summers.
While loved ones waited for answers, they could only think to do one thing.
"Pray for the family," Brown said. "I'm sure Jack knew he was going to leave today. He wouldn't have come to the garden."
Brown said Stone leaves behind a wife, two children, and three grandchildren.
West Virginia State Police have confirmed that a man was found shot to death in the Hartland area of Clay County.
The call came in around 1:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Troopers said neighbors on Sycamore Street heard gunshots and went outside to find 65-year-old Jack Stone shot. According to police, Stone did not live at the home where he was found.
Clay County Sheriff's deputies and West Virginia State Police are investigating.
State troopers are investigating the shooting as a homicide. A crime scene unit is on the way to the scene from South Charleston, WV.
Not many details are being released right now, we have a crew on the scene.

Off To Market Recap: Apron
My cousin Alli, who is in high school has recently developed an interest in cooking! To encourage her experimentation in the kitchen, I thought it would be fun to give her a cute apron. I asked you to help me find Alli an awesome apron. You looked for aprons that are, fun, colorful, and young. I want an apron she can wear while entertaining and down the road that she can bring when she goes off to college. Her style is classic and preppy so the apron shouldn't be too flashy or out there. You guys did an amazing job, I feel like you found every cute apron out there and saved them in the Yum Market with the keyword tag, Apron. Here are three aprons that are perfect for Alli, both fashionable and functional:
A half apron that is both modern and retro I love how it's girlie. Found by rubialala, the polka-dot print is timeless, I can just see Alli baking a chocolate cake while wearing this apron.
There's more so
Chlyn discovered this basic apron in bright stripes. The classic vertical strips in bold primary colors will add a bright splash of color to Alli's cream kitchen.
This two-tone apron was so popular it was saved by three different people: eruntale, atkoester, and geeksugar! It's a chicly beautiful apron that reminds me of a piece of art work. Great apron ladies!
Thanks to all those who participated. Please keep on saving your fab foodie finds in the Yum Market. Don't know how to bookmark on TeamSugar? Refer to geeksugar's easy to understand guide.

When I caught up with producer Wyck Godfrey this weekend, I found out that he already has one young actress in mind to star in his upcoming remake of the French-Canadian fright film Martyrs — Twilight star Kristen Stewart.
"I would love for Kristen to do it," said the Twilight Saga producer, whose previous genre credits include I, Robot and AVP: Alien vs. Predator. Godfrey, who has a long list of titles in development with producing partner Marty Bowen, seemed particularly enthusiastic about making an English-language version of Pascal Laugier's 2009 French-Canadian tale of two young women out for revenge. (That pic, starring Mylène Jampanoï and Morjana Alaoui, is considered part of a new wave of extreme French-language genre cinema, alongside films like Inside (À l'interieur), Them (Ils), and Frontier(s).)

The last time the Jazz played here, DeMarre Carroll's head was smacked so hard a tooth was knocked to the back of his mouth. Kinda like Utah's trip so far.
Wednesday: vs. Los Angeles Lakers, 7 p.m. (Root)
Regardless of what happens tonight at the FedEx Forum, coming home will be a relief for the Jazz. Bigger relief? They host the one-win Lakers.

Kenyan native, Peter Kithene, is an intern in the communications department here at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Join him here every week as he shares his experiences at the foundation and as the founder of Mama Maria Clinics – an innovative, sustainable healthcare solution for Kenya's rural poor. In 2007, Peter was named, out of a pool of more than 7,000 applicants from 93 countries, as CNN's Global Heroes "Medical Marvel" honoree for his work in developing rural healthcare in Africa.
When I was 14, in 1996, I left my rural Kenyan home for a once-in-a-million scholarship opportunity to study at Nairobi's premiere high school, Starehe Boys Centre. The immensity of the privilege, the importance of that opportunity, and the bone yard of suffering I left behind in my home village pressed on me each day I was there. Every evening we gathered in the assembly hall as a student body to be inspired by our school's founder about the importance of service above self. Walking into that hall we passed under a wooden plaque that reminded us of the biblical quote, "From those to whom much has been given, much shall be required."
These words profoundly resonated within me, for the very fact that I was alive, let alone attending this magnificent high school, were truly gifts –and I was overwhelmed with gratitude. I could do anything with my life and this dictum gave shape to my existence.
Years later, while discovering about the Gates Foundation, I learned of this quote's importance to Mary Gates, and how she shared it with her son Bill. I think what strikes me most about Bill and Melinda Gates is how they have lived this concept more than anyone I have ever heard of. They have committed their very lives to it. I have the greatest admiration and respect for the Foundation and its unrelenting pursuit to make our world a better place for all, especially the world's most vulnerable.
I am the villager, I am the marginalized, I am the rural poor. I have lived the life of the orphaned child. I watched my parents struggle to raise 10 children against impossible odds.
In 2005, I finally acted on my own mission to rethink how the lives of the poor ought to be – and reshape them in any small way I could. While my journey began long before then, a few months before my 23rd birthday, I started providing affordable, sustainable healthcare to impoverished communities like my own when I created the first Mama Maria Clinic in my home village.
This mission has taken me on a wild ride; one that has somehow brought me here.
It's my third week as a summer intern here at the Gates foundation. I'm embedded within the communications department, and every single day has been amazing. I'm having a hard time processing the incredible programs, the multiplicity of efforts, and the outstanding people all focused on tackling the same problems I have been obsessed with: extreme poverty and healthcare for the underserved.
It has been life-changing, and more than a little intimidating.
I'll be honest. I've never written a blog. It wasn't until I got here and I became part of a people and institution that truly understand and want to help people like me, or the boy I was, that I ever considered it. In my short time here I have found a place where my story and my voice not only have value, but mean something in a way they never really have before. And for the first time I can actually see a concrete benefit to sharing my story and point of view in a format like this.
I've always known with absolute clarity that because of the opportunities I have been given, it is my duty to be the voice for the people I left behind; those who do not have one. And I must do everything possible to represent them with the dignity, strength, honesty, sincerity, and raw reality that they deserve.
I am the villager, I am the marginalized, I am the rural poor. I have lived the life of the orphaned child. I watched my parents struggle to raise 10 children against impossible odds; watched as undiagnosed disease stole six of their precious children's lives – my brothers and my sisters – before taking my parents and robbing them of that chance. I am the one left behind to raise three younger siblings, who had to fight to go to grammar school, was told to stop dreaming about silly fantasies and drop out, fish for money, and support his family as duty dictated. I am one who should not be here. Who made it through, above, and then beyond. I am the statistic.
And I am one who cannot stop looking back.
"Every person deserves the chance to live a healthy, productive life."
These words speak to many people, but possibly no one more than me. Everybody does deserve a chance at life. In my family, four out of ten of us got that chance. I could name each one of those sweet lives – each one who might well be a substantive metric in a report somewhere – who did not. And, not only did I get to live but somehow, through miracles of chance, or God, or a whimsy of nature that I'll never understand — I've ended up here. With the chance, at least for a season, to speak for my siblings, my parents, my countrymen, and people like me all over the world.
I guess in a way this blog is their voice. And my chance to give shape to the hope that I feel is out there for people currently living as I began.
We have a phrase in Swahili, sambaza wema, meaning basically "to spread goodwill … and hope." The work we do here at the foundation is that hope and, as I continue to learn about it, I look forward to more opportunities to share how this hope intersects with people on a journey that I, especially, understand.

An Addison man is $1 million richer after finding a winning lottery ticket in his car.
Giuseppe Anelli bought the ticket at the beginning of the summer for the 4th of July Millionaire Raffle but said he placed it in his glove compartment and completely forgot about it. The numbers were drawn on July 4.
Fast forward to two weeks ago when he noticed the ticket while at a gas station. He went inside the store to scan it, and the machine told him to "file a claim."
"I drove straight home to check the winning numbers on illinoislottery.com, and there was my ticket number – 0657488," he said. "I was shocked! I've never won anything before this!"
Anelli said he and his wife will use the winnings to pay off their home. They also plan to save up for college tuition for their three children.

What happens when someone schedules a partisan fight – and no one throws a punch? You get opening day, Tuesday, Jan. 8, at the Texas Legislature. They came, they convened, they pontificated, and the lawmakers now move forward in a fog, with little clear direction or schedule.
As the 83rd session gaveled in at midday, legislators already had some good news. A day earlier, Comptroller Susan Combs submitted a larger-than-expected budget revenue estimate for the 2014-15 biennium. She forecast that $96.2 billion will be collected over the next two years, as well as an $8.8 billion surplus from this cycle. Much of that "surplus" (generously defined) will go straight into a supplemental appropriations bill to cover outstanding commitments to Medicaid and the Foundation School Program, but it provides some breathing room. With that in mind, it seemed no one was willing to break the good mood; affable bipartisanship was the order of the day.
In the House, the minor exception was Longview Republican David Simpson's attempt to overthrow Speaker Joe Straus, which sputtered out with a rambling withdrawal speech from the challenger. Muttering against a culture of "intimidation [and] payback," Simpson called for rule changes that would mean "ceasing retribution ... from those in leadership." He made no specific allegations, leading some veterans to privately wonder how he would have functioned under the dictatorial regime of Straus' predecessor, Tom Craddick. With Simpson quickly out of the way, the nomination speeches were devoted to glowing praise of Straus. Ignoring the harsh partisan battles over redistricting and reproductive rights that roiled the 82nd session, Democrats and Republicans celebrated his evenhanded management style. In a pointed rebuttal to Simpson, Rep. Rene Oliviera, D-Brownsville, said, "I support Joe Straus, not because I agree with him on many things, but because I can disagree with him without fear of reprisal or ridicule."
Over in the Senate, there was a similar spirit of bonhomie as Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, D-San Antonio, was selected as president pro tem. That means that, on the rare occasions when both Gov. Rick Perry and Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst are out of the state, a Democrat will become acting governor. Her appointment was a matter of practice and tradition rather than a real battle. Senators punted on the only real sticking point, quietly rejecting plans to dump the two-thirds rule, a "blocker bill" tradition that in most sessions keeps controversial proposals off the floor.
Then came the policy grandstanding. With fellow failed presidential candidate Rick Santorum an unexpected onlooker, Gov. Perry laid out his agenda, including a fetal pain bill, and more drum-beating for reduced business taxation. His ideological checklist stood in sharp contrast to Straus', which nominated water, transportation, and education as his priority items.
However, much may be on hold, as lawmakers find themselves surrounded by volatility. After an almost unprecedented round of retirements, primary defeats, and promotions to state Senate and U.S. Congress, the House is incorporating 43 freshmen this year. Their learning curve will be steep, especially since they're still awaiting separate court rulings on challenges to the state's public school finance system, redistricting, and the voter ID legislation. They may have a healthier than predicted budget, but they're already facing calls from inside and outside the Lege to restore the $5 billion in school finance cuts passed in 2011. It's no easier on the Senate side: Normally, after redistricting, the Senate's first job is to select which senators will serve a full four-year term and which will have to run again in 2014. Instead, they've had to defer that until further legal consultation. Straus argued that the only thing he could be certain of was that there would be 150 votes on the House floor to revise the school "accountability" system (i.e., high-stakes standardized testing) – but even he couldn't say what might replace it.
The next question is, who will run the session? Straus promoted a pragmatic agenda, but it could fall apart in the details; Perry still has the governor's bully pulpit, yet he is coming off a catastrophic presidential run and may face increasingly tough questions about how to fix (or abandon) many of his favored programs, including the Texas Emerging Technology Fund and the beleaguered Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas.
Dewhurst probably has the weakest hand: A Senate primary drubbing, courtesy of Tea Party darling Ted Cruz, and a roster of challengers lining up for the 2014 elections leave him in a weakened position. However, he's been even more aggressive in his calls for state investment, specifically for $1 billion from the Rainy Day Fund to create a water infrastructure bank. That would place him at odds with Perry, who effectively ruled out accessing the Rainy Day Fund, and then went further, arguing that the budget revenue estimate was a case for greater tax cuts. Straus struck a subtler tone: He sided with Perry against "raiding" the state's surplus, but pointed out there's a big difference between using and raiding.

The Cameroon international has suffered a muscle strain but David Luiz is back in training, while Mauricio Pochettino will hope to have Luke Shaw and Dejan Lovren available
Mohamed Salah's late strike ensured the Swiss giants completed a famous double over the Blues, who have now won just two of their last five matches in all competitions.
|Chelsea are 8/1 with BetVictor to beat Southampton 2-1
David Luiz is also back in training for the Blues after a knee injury but will not be risked on Sunday.
For Southampton, a trip to Stamford Bridge represents another test of the top-four credentials which took a dent in defeat to Arsenal last weekend.
Artur Boruc in particular will be seeking redemption after his clanger allowed Olivier Giroud the easiest of goals to give the in-form Gunners a lead they never relinquished on 22 minutes.
Despite the result, Mauricio Pochettino's side have made a superb start to the season, with just two losses from their opening 12 matches leaving them in fifth place.
The visitors have injury concerns of their own, with starlet Luke Shaw forced off at half-time against the Gunners at the Emirates Stadium after sustaining a knock.
Pochettino will hope to welcome back defender Dejan Lovren, after he missed the Arsenal game with a sickness bug.
But the match is likely to come too soon for Jack Cork, who has a twisted ankle.

I've been using a drip system in my garden for 25+ years and boy, was I glad when I finally found Dripworks several years ago. I place an order on the internet or over the phone and I always have it on my doorstep the next day. On the (very) rare occasions when there was a problem, it only took a phone call and the new parts showed up the next day.

I was looking for a good company for a drip irrigation system. I saw that Edmunds Roses recommended the Dripworks systems. I have not been disappointed! Very fast shipping - sent by UPS the day it was ordered. Great, easy to understand instructions. Very fast assembly. The system worked without any leaks or problems. I ordered 2 more sets the day I set up the first system and the order was shipped the day it was ordered. I don't know what more you could ask for. Great product and great service. Very highly recommended.

On April 29th, 2005 I ordered enough materials to put a drip system in my garden plot from their website. The box of goodies arrived on May 4th. Personally, I think thats pretty good time from order to receipt of merchandise. I did have a problem though, as I was shipped an item I didn't order, and didn't get an item I did order. I called the Company's toll free number. The gal that received the call was very friendly and was able to pull up my order quickly. When she had the information she put me on hold to contact the warehouse regarding it. Less than a minute later she was back, and told me that the items I needed would be shipped out today at no additional cost, and that I was to KEEP the items that had been shipped in error. I suggested I could send them back but she said her supervisor said no. :)

Update --- on May 6th, the package with the items I needed arrived. I sure like the way this company does business.

I definitely agree that DripWorks has some great stuff, and they did get my order to me very quickly. My only issue is with their prices. I found a lot of the same stuff at Home Depot or Lee Valley for the same price or much cheaper. Home Depot had the standard tubing for the same price as Lee Valley. If I had bought it there, I could have saved quite a bit on the shipping. Lee Valley offers many of the same drips at a discount if you order in quantity. The biggest difference, though, was with some of the accessories. The punches cost at least twice or three times what they did in HD or LV. If you are just planning a simple system, and don't need to take advntage of DripWorks expertise, I suggest you do some shopping around first.

I have ordered many, many times from Dripworks. When I placed my first order, I had no irrigation experience. They designed a system for me for no additional charge and held my hand throughout the entire process. The second year, they helped me expand on my original system. Now I've moved to a new area and am establishing a brand new garden. Dripworks will be my first call. (I have no affiliation whatsoever with this company - just a grateful customer.)

FISHERMEN are enjoying the best southern bluefin tuna catches for 30 years around the South Australian coast following a dramatic recovery of the species.
The Port Lincoln tuna industry has already caught more than half its annual tuna quota - compared with 20 per cent in previous seasons - and expects the value of the annual farmed harvest to lift by 25 per cent to more than $200 million this year.
Recreational fishermen are also reporting the best tuna fishing for decades, catching plentiful hauls of up to 20kg along the coast near towns including Victor Harbor, Cape Jervis, Marion Bay and Port Lincoln.
Australian Southern Bluefin Tuna Industry Association chief executive Brian Jeffriess said the recovery of tuna stocks had provided the best catching season since 1982 when the wild-catch tuna industry was in its heyday.
Mr Jeffriess said the end of Japanese over-fishing in 2007-08 had coincided with the rapid recovery in tuna stock. Prospects are good for the medium-term with scientists increasing the catch quota again in 2013 and flagging a further 10 per cent rise next year.
"This will underpin the industry, the tuna stock and the sector for the next decade," Mr Jeffriess said.
"Part of the reason that there are so many tuna is that the sardine stock is so good and it is the feed which attracts the tuna so close to Port Lincoln. The management of the sardine stock is world-class and a credit to the industry and the SA Government," he said.
But Mr Jeffriess said the weakness of the Japanese yen against the Australian dollar was a major problem.
"The bigger long-term concern is Australia's failure to finalise free trade agreements with Korea, China, and Japan," he said.
"Our competitors have agreements in these markets, and are benefiting from lower import tariffs and freedom from non-tariff barriers."

Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Wisconsin
I discovered by accident that my doctor diagnosed me with Chronic Kidney Disease 3 years ago and never told me. Knowing about this disease as early as possible is crucial. There are things I could have done to slow down the progression of the disease, if only I had known. I think he should be held liable for his neglect. I found out July 22 that I have Stage 3 kidney disease. Is there a potential valid lawsuit here?
1 Answer from Attorneys
I think the key question will be whether your learning of the diagnosis earlier would have made a significant difference in your outcome. I think it is probably worth looking into whether your case is one that has merit. I suggest you contact a lawyer who practices medical malpractice law as soon as possible to discuss your potential case with him or her. The usual statute of limitations in Wisconsin for medical malpractice cases is three years from the date of injury or one year from the date of discovery. Based on what you wrote above, it is possible that the statute of limitations will expire one year from the date you learned of your condition.

Labor Day: Obama Announces Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contracted Employees
During the annual Labor Day breakfast in Boston, President Obama announced a new executive order that requires employees of federal contractors to have access to paid sick leave each year. Employees will be able to use the sick leave for family care, physical and mental illness, preventive care and numerous other categories.
Employees will earn one hour of sick leave per 30 hours worked and they can earn up to seven days of paid sick leave. The sick leave that they accrue throughout the year will carry over from year to year.
"This will give about 300,000 working Americans access to paid sick leave for the first time," Obama stated after signing the executive order. Despite the new federal policy, 44 million Americans still will not have these benefits. He is calling on Congress to make those necessary changes.
Obama stated on Monday, "I believe that working Americans should have the basic security of paid leave. Right now, we are the only advanced nation on Earth that does not guarantee paid maternity leave. Think about that."
How will this change the future of paid sick leave in the private sector?

It's over :'( The last chapter was just as great as the other ones (and the deleted scene was nice)! Haha, I laughed when Voldemort actually compared himself with Father Christmas (or, I laughed when he realised what he just did). It's so sad your story has come to an end, but on the other hand, it's good that you stopped it in a good way instead of going on and on and losing every grip on the original plot (like a lot of fics, unfortunately, tend to do...). So, now I'm looking forward to your next fic! Hope it will be just as good as this one, which is, still, my favorite fic... :-D
Author's Response: Thank you!! I'm happy you think I ended it right...I was worried people would think it was rushed. Yeah, the Father Christmas part is one of my fave's in that chapter...I loved writing that. I agree, some fan fics just never stop...and you sometimes lose interest... I hope I can start another soon...I'm having trouble planning it out. LOL. Thanks again!!
::dies laughing:: I LOVE this story! It's so incredibly awesome! It's hilarious! I've never read a story quite like it before! Do continue! I await your next chapter...
Author's Response: Thank you so much!!! I'm so glad you liked it! Yeah, that's what made me write it...no one's ever done anything like it before that I know of...:D
yeah yeah have you? huh? plz get chapter 8 in soon..im chanting by the way.
Author's Response: ~LOL... I'm waitin' on the mods, I turned in eight last night, I hope they can get it up pretty soon...;)
hav u writen anymore stories?
Author's Response: I have, but..*shudders* they're absolutely no good. I hated them...lol...but I have written a one-shot that was pretty good. I'd post it on here but I don't think MnFF allows it, do they?
This story is really quite amusing. This plot bunny could've been a bomb in the wrong hands, but you've proven yourself more than capable of making it smart and engaging. I salute you. Read Magorian, if you wish.
Author's Response: Thanks a whole bunch! That really means a lot to me--I'm glad you think it's turned out well. I'll definitely check it out ASAP. :D
You rock
Author's Response: Awesome..thanks! Hey, you rock too--'cause you leave reviews! ;)

Feathered Flipping Flamingos? HA HA HA HA HA! That is sooooo funny and the part with the underwear was hilar- ious! Totally loved it! *10* Voldie-poo! Absolutely genius!
Author's Response: LOL...I have an odd mind, don't I?? Thank you very much for the review!! Yay! :D I hope eight is good when I get it up...
AUSOME!! loved it! i think you should've made a part in the chaper when dumbledore goes to potions class with harry. that would be funny! but oh well its still good! I DONT WANT IT TO END!!! *finds a corner to cry* :'(
Author's Response: Ahh...now you're gonna make me cry! lol...man, if I'd have had that idea before I may have put that in! Darn! Thanks for the review though! I hope chapter eight meets everyone's expectations...
VOLDIE-POO!LOVE IT! Anyways, it may be a bit short, but it's still ridiculously funny, and as far as I'm concerned that makes it brill!
Author's Response: Yay!! Thank you so much! I'm so glad you love it...man, all of these reviews get me in a really good mood..hehe. I hope 8's good!
OMG!!! By friend and I have been following this story so closely it's not even funny! I feel like I'm reading something straight from JKR!!! Keep up the good work and please make chapter 8 your longest chapter yet! I don't want the story to end!!!!! UPDATE SOON!!!!! LOL!!!
Author's Response: Really??? WOW! Thank you so much!! That's like...so nice!! :D I really really hope chapter eight is good, it has a deleted scene in it..hehe...thanks a whole bunch! I'm happy again!
Author's Response: I'm sorry!!! Now I feel bad again!! lol...but I do hope chapter eight will be a good enough ending! :-/
Awww.....I don't want it to end. I really like it. :-) I wish you could somehow continue it to the end of their 6th year, but oh well. Btw, I can't wait to read the last chapter !! :-)
Author's Response: *Sniffles* I'm sorry!! But I'm happy you still like it!!! Yeah, I wish I could continue it too, but I would have no idea how...:D I hope the last chapter makes up for cutting the story off so short!
Good chapter! It's pretty odd how harry always finds himself in the weirdest conversations. Underwear? and green underwear at that...and whats voldie-poo gonna do without them. ppl won't like picturing voldie in slightly pinkened boxers, no matter how funny that would look. Still, overall really good, update soon.
Author's Response: Yes...he does end up in weird conversations, doesn't he? Tom's completely obsessed with Harry's underwear. He's so..well...weird. :D But he's fun to write! I can see how picturing Voldie in pinkened boxers IS disturbing.. *shudders slightly* Scary! hehe...well, thank you so much for reviewing!!
it's a good chapter, even if short.
this like totally irrelavant but i didn't know that any teacher but McGonagall and Dumbledore could go into the Gryffindor Tower.
please update soon! thank you!
Author's Response: LOL, thanks for the review!!!! Really? Oh...I thought all of the staff could get in if they had the password...hmm..maybe I was mistaken?? LOL...well, thanks again for reviewing!!
i like this chapter!!! please update soon! it was a good chapter even if it was short.
Author's Response: Thanks a bunch!!! I seriously thought people were going to get mad big time for making it short...I'm quite relieved to see it's not too bad...:D
Keep up the wonderful work!
Author's Response: Thank you!!!!!
it would have been really interesting if you ran with the hermione/tom thing. is there going to be a sequel? this was a really great chapter
Author's Response: LOL, it certainly would be different, wouldn't it?? I...well...*looks uncomfortable* I don't think I'm good enough to be able to write a believable sequel...thanks so much for the review!!!!

US-41 / Sturgeon River
Baraga Twp.
US-41 / Sturgeon River
Year Built:
About this Bridge:
Located on US-41, 1.4 miles south of Alberta, this long-span steel bridge crosses the Sturgeon River in L'Anse Township. Known locally as the Canyon Falls Bridge for its proximity to this natural feature, the structure is comprised of a two-hinged, girder-ribbed arch over the river's channel. This is flanked on each side by a 52-foot, steel stringer approach span. The main span extends 128 feet from pin to pin of the end hinges. It is comprised of five, riveted girder ribs that support a 45-foot-wide concrete deck. Each rib is made up of two back-to-back, built-up channels, riveted to batten plates and a continuous cover plate. These ribs bear into a massive concrete pedestal by means of cast-steel bearing shoes. The asphalt-surfaced, concrete roadway is borne by the ribs through a series of wide-flange columns, which are braced laterally by steel plate diaphragms. Mounted on top of each arch pedestal is a decorative concrete pylon with stepped vertical planes. Each pylon extends above, and is integrated with, the guardrail. The streamlined profile of the arch ribs, combined with the stepped bulkheads and pylons, give the bridge a distinctive Art Moderne character. Other than the recent installation of Armco beams inside the original guardrails, the Canyon Falls Bridge remains essentially unaltered and in excellent condition. During the 1947-1948 biennium, the state highway department let contracts for eleven trunk line bridges on the Upper Peninsula. Five of these carried US-41, which the department was then reconstructing on a new alignment between L'Anse and Ishpeming. The largest and most striking of the M-41 structures was this span over the Sturgeon River. Completed in the summer of 1948, the Canyon Falls Bridge has since carried Vehicular traffic, in essentially unaltered condition. The Canyon Falls Bridge is Technologically significant for its representation of steel arch design by the state highway department. The 128-foot arch on the Canyon Falls Bridge is a much more streamlined structure than a comparably scaled through truss. It represents MSHD's emphasis on bridge aesthetics and efficiency. The Canyon Falls Bridge is a visually striking span – a well-preserved example of an uncommon structural type, built as part of a regionally important highway.

Crudo on a Thursday: out of the foie gras, but not the sea bass
Look beyond the pisco sour and gin fizz
Barbarella Fokos 9:30 a.m., Nov. 19
Compared to, say, cop movies or stoner comedies, really great food movies are rare. When they come along, little bits of what it's like to be intimately involved in cuisine see the light of day. Jiro Dreams of Sushi, the story of the man who the film claims is the world's greatest sushi chef and a Japanese national treasure, is a portrait of someone who has lived an incredibly long life with a single-minded devotion to his craft.
The film is currently running at the Landmark Hillcrest theater, though it may not stick around for long at the small cinema that plays the rare and independent movies that seldom get major run-time in the mainstream theaters. Featuring simple, sometimes shaky, camerawork and a minimally artistic filming style, Jiro Dreams of Sushi isn't out to dazzle audiences with astonishing imagery; although the shots of the Tokyo fish market are fairly jaw dropping given the dizzying array of top quality fish on display.
The simple premise, giving a brief synopsis of the incredibly long and influential career of Jiro Ono, has an unexpected depth of feeling to it. Perhaps this is something that only appeals to one's sense of gastronomy, perhaps the shots of perfectly prepared sushi featuring the highest quality fish in the world simply tug on the heartstrings of anyone who has ever dreamed of getting a chance to eat the perfect meal. But the real beauty of Jiro is that, in capturing the perfect culinary moment, the film touches on the idea of the perfect moment itself, which isn't necessarily tied to food or to anything else.
It was another food film, Ratatouille, that recently painted a very vivid picture of that perfect moment. Near the end of the movie, when the formerly unflappable food critic takes a bite of the titular dish that sends him straight back to his childhood, his frozen heart melting in a burst of emotions summoned by a simple bit of food, the idea of a flawless moment crystallizes on screen. In Jiro Dreams of Sushi, the quest for that perfect moment is central to the story. Jiro admits that he has given up just about everything in his life to hone his art to the point where he can deliver the perfect, culinary experience to his guests, and he has no regrets about having done so.
Of course, the perfect moment doesn't come cheap. People make reservations a month in advance and spend about $400 on twenty pieces of sushi. But the seemingly unanimous verdict is that it's entirely worth it. Whatever moves us to go to such great lengths, whether spending 70 years trying to make better sushi every day or spending three weeks worth of grocery money on one meal, in the pursuit of this perfect experience, it must be something powerful.
And maybe that's why we eat in the first place.
In some way, every time we sit down in front of a plate of food, there is some hope that it will be the best meal ever. Usually, it isn't, but the dream is always there. It doesn't have to be flawless sushi. It could be a hot dog greedily wolfed down standing under a Mexican streetlight, or it might just as easily be an elaborate meal that takes four hours to eat. The perfect moment can come in any way, shape, or form. The film points out that there's no way to know exactly to what heights the art form can be taken. But there will never be a shortage of people, whether they wield knives to cut with or chopsticks to eat with, who think that chasing down that perfect moment is a glorious way to spend an hour or a lifetime.
Thanks for that as it contains a link to showtimes!

THE killer of Jayden Parkinson told police he was "evil" when he was questioned after his ex-girlfriend went missing.
Yesterday, a video interview made after Ben Blakeley was arrested on suspicion of kidnapping was played to a jury at Oxford Crown Court.
It was the 22-year-old's third police interview since Jayden was last seen alive on December 3 and CCTV cameras captured the former couple together.
The jury was shown images, that we can reveal for the first time, of Blakeley and the 17-year-old at Oxford Railway Station at 4.06pm and then at Didcot Railway Station at 4.27pm. An image of the defendant making another journey from Didcot alone at 10.04pm was also shown.
The prosecution claims that in the period between the two trips Jayden was murdered in open countryside south of Didcot, after she told her former boyfriend she was pregnant.
During his interview on December 11 Blakeley refused to answer questions about the whereabouts of his ex-girlfriend, who had been missing for nine days.
In the video DC Justin Walsh told the suspect, who was wearing a dark top with the hood pulled up, he had "an awful habit of trying to manipulate this interview".
To this Blakeley replied: "I'm an awful person. I'm an evil motherf*****, believe."
He also told the officers interviewing him: "I don't give a f*** about anything."
Blakeley was released on bail after the interview and was then arrested on suspicion of murder the following day.
A statement from the officer who took him into custody said he was shaking as the handcuffs were put on and he had a claw hammer in his pocket.
Blakeley admits manslaughter and perverting the course of justice, but denies murder.
A 17-year-old, who cannot be named, admits perverting the course of justice, but denies preventing a lawful burial.
Jayden's body was discovered buried in the grave of Blakeley's uncle Alan Kennedy in a cemetery next to All Saint's Church in Didcot on December 18.
Yesterday, Detective Sergeant Mark Morton, from the Major Crime Team, was asked about the younger defendant, who told police where they could find the teenager's remains.
His defence barrister Martin Steen read out the transcript of an interview the 17-year-old had after he was charged, having initially answered "no comment" to all police questions.
Asked if he helped hide Jayden's body the suspect said: "Yes, but I was unaware it was her body.
"(Ben Blakeley) told me he had a dead dog and a dead cat. He sent me off as he put them in. And I came back and all I could see was mud and he was putting more mud in."
Questioned about if he knew who killed Jayden he said: "No, I suppose it was (Ben Blakeley)."
But prosecutor Richard Latham asked DS Morton if this explanation of what happened had been accepted by the police.
The witness replied: "No."
The trial continues.

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg took a shot at safety in Philadelphia during an interview on New York television Thursday.
"Why would any rational person want to trade what we have here for situation in Philadelpha?" Bloomberg told NY 1. "More murders, higher crime. Is that what the Times wants?"
Bloomberg was responding to a New York Times editorial that suggested the Big Apple institute a stop-and-frisk policy more similar to the plan supported by Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter.

Ships regularly smuggling opium into China are chiefly British, Japanese and Norwegianthe British being credited in one dispatch with 76 vessels, and the Japanese padding their sea smuggling with much running of opium overland from Manchukuo. In 1936 on April Fool's Day, dealing in opium was established as a Chinese Government monopoly, and about $3,500.000 per month in opium license taxes go to the Chief of the Military Affairs Commission of the Nanking Government.

Ingold verbally committed to Northern Illinois, which played in the 2013 Orange Bowl, on Saturday and said the biggest reason is the Huskies have big plans for him.
"They want me to be the face of the program down the road," he said.
Ingold could draw comparisons to former Huskie quarterback Jordan Lynch, who played his final year last season at Northern. Lynch was a playmaker, who did a lot of damage with his legs as well as his arm, and that's how Ingold plays.
Last season, Ingold threw for 1,427 yards and 13 touchdowns with five interceptions in 11 games. He also had 860 yards rushing and 10 TDs. As a sophomore, Ingold was a running back and eclipsed 1,000 yards.
Ingold said two other teams he strongly considered were Miami (Ohio) and North Dakota State.
Ingold won't be unfamiliar with the players when he arrives in 2015 at Northern Illinois as Will Daniels of Green Bay Preble and Max Scharping of Green Bay Southwest will be freshman this coming season.
Meanwhile, Ashwaubenon quarterback James Morgan announced on Twitter he will play his college football at Bowling Green State University.
Morgan threw for 2,540 yards last season with 26 touchdowns and eight interceptions as the Jaguars won the Fox River Classic Conference title.

Small Business Tax Strategies
Dear Fellow Business Owner:
A recent government study showed that the average small business overpaid its taxes by $11,638. That's sad enough. But sadder still is the fact that the tax code is actually written to favor small businesses like yours.
So why do we overpay our taxes? Because most of us are too busy managing our companies to manage our taxes. You should take advantage of EVERY loophole the IRS has for you – on your business and personal expenses. And if you don't, you might as well be just another working stiff.
Strategy: Give yourself a 10-minute tax cut — every month — with a subscription to Small Business Tax Strategies. Click here to begin enjoying more personal wealth this year.
Politicians always say that you can spend your money better than the government can. But that doesn't mean they're just going to hand you your fair share. That's why we publish Small Business Tax Strategies.
You're an expert at your business – not your taxes. Small Business Tax Strategies does the heavy lifting for you – giving you a monthly briefing on the simple steps you can take to ease your tax burden. In just 10 minutes a month, you'll give YOURSELF a tax cut.

Let's face it: Most people sit around and wait for "tax reform" to drop money into their pockets. You do it … I do it … and the IRS knows we do – in fact, they count on it! Truth be told, the IRS might prefer that you didn't know about most of the loopholes it's left in the code. But we know where they are – and we're not shy about telling you.
Armed with Small Business Tax Strategies, you'll discover dozens of ideas (at least 30 in your first 10 minutes) that will allow you and your tax professional to take charge of your tax situation.
Now – for the first time ever – you'll be the boss of your taxes the same way you're the boss in the rest of your work. You'll be able to act rather than react. In short, you'll turn the tables on the IRS.
Take a few minutes to preview the sample issue here. See for yourself how reliable, actionable reporting and analysis helps you put more money in your accounts, and less in Uncle Sam's.
Take this Quiz: Grab a pencil and try this: enter the amount of tax you paid last year on Line 1. Divide it by 5, and write the answer on Line 2. That's 20% of your taxes. Next, enter "$97" on Line 3. Subtract Line 3 from Line 2, and write the figure on Line 4.
If Line 4 is more than zero – and I guarantee that it is – then Small Business Tax Strategies pays for itself.
