Broke State
As the country suffers from the recession, so does the state of California but not directly from the country's recession. California's recession is based off of poor spending decisions from legislators, representatives, and a number of agencies. Most of these bad decisions are costing the taxpayers "millions of dollars" and they are seeing little benefit from these costs.

OC Assemblyman In Bed With Lobbyist
When Michael Duvall, an Ex-Orange County assemblyman, described portions of his affair, he did not know it would be broadcasted for the public to hear. Duvall has been a consistent supporter for conservative issues and has long supported California families and their values. But after becoming the vice chairman of the Utilities and Commerce committee women, especially a lobbyist for the utility giant in California, began to notice him. This is how the affair started and resigning as assemblyman is how it ended.

Trade Secrets
California set up foreign-trade offices around the world to boost the state's exports and lure investors from other countries. However, documents obtained by the Register showed the trade offices repeatedly made false and overblown claims about the business deals they said they were instrumental in landing. In their last annual report, the offices took credit-at least 31 times on deals totaling $4.2 million-for export or investment deals in which they played little or no role. Six times, they took credit for deals that, in reality, did not happen. Officials in the state agency that had oversight responsibility for the offices said they never checked the accuracy of the offices' claims and believed they had no reason to.

The Oakland Tribune tells the story of Oakland multimillionaire Bill Taylor, a politically connected businessman who owns the only towing company contracted with the city of Oakland. Taylor's contract with the city has never been audited and the true value of the contract is known to no one expect Taylor and his associates. The Oakland Tribune suggests that Taylor may be getting preferential treatment from city council members.

That meant paying money to somebody's campaign fund or paying lobbyist friends of the mayor handsomely to get his support...Here were credible sources admitting they had been asked to pay a bribe to get the mayor's blessing for a development project. Because they never paid it, they didn't get the deal."

Edit: 2012-06-29 - Fixed missing screenshots and sample clip.
This how-to came about due to a question posted in this thread. The original post was made several months ago, but another member of the forum made a follow-up, so I decided to make this simple tutorial.
As far as I know, version 1.1.3 doesn't have the provision to do a zoomed-in picture-in-picture effect (perhaps a feature request for a future version?). It can be done, albeit there's a bit of extra work involved.
And this is the extra bit. Start off by loading the videoclip you want zoomed-in as a new project. Add it to the timeline and open the Clip Properties. Go to the Layout tab. You'll have to play around with the values here. Use the preview window to check the result and apply once you're done. Make sure you use the same set of numbers for both start and end of the clip (the key frames). If you're satisfied, render the clip.
Reference screenshot:
Next, import the new clip in your project and add it to the timeline. Open the Clip Properties and go to the Layout tab. Again, just like above, you will have to experiment with the size and position of the PIP clip. Use the preview window to approximate and adjust accordingly. Don't forget to use the same set of numbers for both key frames.
Reference screenshot:
And here's how the zoomed-in PIP will end up:

The Global Spa Summit (GSS) began its annual spa industry conferences in 2007 and this year (2012) added a trendy word to its name - Global Spa & Wellness Summit (GSWS). Now, there may be a move afoot to kick out the Spa word with its possibly embarrassing connotations for an industry seeking to advance its status in the health arena. On October 6, 2012, the blog GSWS Weekender #30 revived a controversy initiated at the 2012 Summit when it asked its readers (for 'fun'): Do you think our industry should get rid of the word "spa"?
A critical commentary from keynote speaker Peter Rummell - former head of Disney Imagineering - at the 2012 GSWS has succeeded in provoking polarized reactions. Such a ruse works best if the audience is a ready target. It happens most often because something unsettling, sometimes denied, has been brought from shadow into light or from the collective unconscious into awareness. When that occurs those involved have an opportunity to take an honest second look, draw a deep breath and pull back the curtains still further. Is that what GSWS intends, or something else?
The spa industry struggles to define itself. This may be a consequence of having attempted to be all things to all people in pursuing business opportunities, while disregarding or denying the thread that once ran through its creative development from hot spring to resort spa. The 'spa' word has been applied with increasing liberty for some time (doggy day spa, auto spa, and it goes on). In the modern climate of linguistic and conceptual free-for-all, this is not unusual. It's becoming common practice to adapt the meanings and uses of words to serve new (marketing) purposes.
Recently, for example, I came across an article on the misuse and overuse by business of the word 'passion'. The writer suggests that in reality 'being passionate would be a handicap in business: it would cloud your judgement, and one thing that characterises many really successful people in business is that they have practically no interest in their product whatsoever.' Could it be that this has happened to 'spa' - that the most successful of those who've profited in this industry don't care about the origins of the term but are interested only in what they can profit by?
Professor J.P. De Vierville provides us in his comment on the #30 post with an historical accounting of 'spa(w)' and the central importance of water as a therapeutic medium. Yet, there has been a gradual draining away of the water from spa (as industry) that has been an intentional business manoeuvre. Back in 2004, the International Spa Association (ISPA) announced it had 'laid the task of defining spa to rest' after the association's board and marketing task force came to a consensus with the following statement that gave no mention of waters:
Spas are places devoted to enhancing overall well-being through a variety of professional services that encourage the renewal of mind, body and spirit.[ISPA]
In 2010, a group of us associated with the British International Spa Association (BISA) under the chairmanship of Marion Schneider put forward a definition that reinstated water. The following appeared in BISA's membership leaflet 2011: A spa is a place devoted to overall well-being by practising safe healing methods, including facials and body treatments, in an inspirational environment that acts in an environmentally responsible way and utilizes good quality water to enhance the consumer experience. My own variation appeared here:
Vision Spa Retreat sees the ideal spa as a place that encourages health and relaxation in an inspirational natural setting in which water plays a key role. Such spas promote safe healing practices, environmental responsibility and community involvement.
Also in 2010, Spa Business magazine asked 'Could a union with healthcare be the spa industry's reward for becoming more savvy about scientific research? This was met with enthusiasm and followed in 2011 by the launch of a Spa Evidence Portal at the Global Spa Summit (GSS). Since some in the spa industry aspire to being the answer to global healthcare, redefining Spa as Wellness (skipping the Water part again) would be attractive. Apparently, it's not about the word so much as what the word can win (or lose) you. Business opportunists seek abundant, readily available resources. Association of spa with waters has become inconvenient in the face of global water shortages. (But the healthcare business is a different thing.)
Perhaps perversely, for years now I have been suggesting that spa, in its original water-based meaning, could actually help restore our appreciation for water and its life-giving value. By reversing the trend of dissociation from its source waters, the spa community could, with more altruistic than profit-bent intent, help revitalize the world's waters, as well as human health. Without clean water, none of us will stay healthy. Instead of displacing the healthcare industry, spas might lend broader support and inspiration to it by modeling a deeply personal responsibility for the health of the waters and the environment on which we depend.
Had the spa industry (as represented by GSWS) been truer to its name, instead of selecting someone from Disney Imagineering to showcase this year's theme of 'innovation through imagination', it might have chosen instead the world-famous Cirque du Soleil and its founder Guy Laliberté. Back in 2009, this bold visionary spent 12 days aboard a Russian Soyuz, taking some astonishing photos that have recently been published as a book, GAIA. His space adventure was dedicated to raising awareness about water issues, and proceeds from the book sales will benefit the water charity ONE DROP.
If the spa world had that kind of imagination, I think it might provide a truly heart-warming example in recognizing the interdependence of people and planet. As it is, I'm disheartened by the ongoing scrabble within spa to prove itself (at least on the surface) to be something more than 'white woman walking a poodle'. Could the spa industry (along with all profitable industry today) dare to face its own shadow. Could we stop wishing we were in a Disney movie, stop photoshopping images of ourselves and our planet, and start facing up to the predicament we are all in?
As Professor J.P. De Vierville asks (paraphrasing from personal correspondence): How many different ways can we integrate imagery in the unconscious and take this beyond the word 'spa(w)' and speak deeper to the very actions of the spa(w)orld? If you've read this far, you might be just the kind of spa visioneer to attend next year's Spa Cultures & Dream Time seminar at Toskana Therme, Bad Orb in Germany (June 23-28, 2013) - go here for more.
PS Although I have not referenced the gender issue (the archetypal battle between the wounded masculine and the repressed feminine) also raised in the comments after GSWS Weekender #30 in my post here, no doubt it is also present. If that is a topic that interests you, see: The Well of the Strong: Women and the Spa World

Marines Memorial Theater 609 Sutter Street, SF
May 19, 2012
SFIAF brought no fewer than five companies together as a finale to the festival on May 19, 2012. What a marathon! There were familiar San Francisco dancers as well as unique visitors from Switzerland, Finland, The Netherlands and Estonia.
Cie 7273, (the years of the performers' birth), consisting of Nicolas Cantilion and Laurence Yadi, presented the marvelous American guitar virtuoso, Sir Richard Bishop, and the dancer Nicolas Cantilion, in "Listen and Watch." Yadi was not there. For 35 minutes Cantilion moved "a succession of emblematic images taken from dance, sport and politics." This virtuoso solo was intriguing, since the dancer stayed in one place, constantly rotating, adding and eliminating gestures. Although the program suggests that the same phrase is never repeated, the work felt rhythmically repetitious and consistently introspective. Bishop's playing, a long guitar drone, was superb.
Leyya Mona Tawil, a local dancer, collaborated with Lars J. Brouwer, a Dutch composer, to give us "Thieves," a duet for Jermiah Crank and Isabelle Sjahsam. The dancers moved in mysterious lighting, across the stage and back, approaching and retreating stage on some seemingly strange errand. After a very slow and secretive set of these advance/retreat activities, the dance grew livelier, the dancers interacting with the sounds generated by the musician. "Thieves" was one of the best works Tawil has given Bay Area audiences. An unnamed lighting designer deserves credit for his evocative design.
Cid Pearlman is a well-known SF dancer. She has been working in Estonia and for "This Is What We Do in Winter," in which she brought together American and Estonian dancers who had worked together "on the process of getting to know each other during the long, dark Estonian winter." The piece was a refreshing mixture of folk dance idioms and contact improvisation. Getting "to know one another" seemed to include the now too-much-seen-and-used set of lifts, carries, falls and tumbles seen by contemporary dance companies. This group was less technical in its approach and seemed to enjoy each other mightily.
The dancers were: David King, Tiina Molder, Helen Reitsnik, Alexis Steeves, and Rain Saukas. Jonathan Segal provided the music.
As it approached and then passed 10 p.m., the audiences took a deep breath and faced the last two events. Post-Ballet, with choreography by Robert Dekkers, offered "Mine Is Yours," attempting "an inquiry into American society's perspective on sharing and community, especially where relationships and sexuality are concerned." What we saw was an extremely tall man dressed in a long skirt, Domico Luciano, beset by three small women, Ashley Flaner, Raychel Weiner, and Hiromi Yamazaki, who besieged him, conspiring together to jump, roll, assault and generally attack him. In turn, he lifted and carried them, sometimes accepting but generally rejecting their advances. This work (as is stated in the program) supposedly questions "monogamy, sexual orientation, family dynamics, infidelity and marriage." Further research on these subjects and their possible choreographic evidence is surely needed. The work is superficial.
And finally, we saw the Susanna Leinonen Company in "Chinese Objects" (2005, in its U.S. premiere here). With music by Kasperi Laine, the dancers, Heidi Lehtoranta and Laura Lohi appeared in "robot like" costumes and executed some remarkable technical feats, only to return to the robot poses. It was unclear how this reflected "Chinese Objects," but choreographer Susanna Leinonon seemed to find it so.
Had this work appeared earlier in the evening, it might have received greater attention and response. Skilled as it was, it was not appealing. The light design was by Hanna Kyhk: costume design by Erika Turunen.
Andrew Wood, director of SFIAF deserves many kudos for bringing so many and so varied a range of artists to San Francisco. Sometimes, however, less is more, particularly in the case of multiple dance events in one evening. We are enlightened, but overexposed.

Reblogged from mykeystrokes.com:
So here's my advice: If you're somebody who's smoking hot about the Big Lie of the Affordable Care Act — you know, how President Obama told everybody that if they liked their current health insurance policy they could keep it — do yourself a favor. Avoid the county fair midway.
Because if you go, you're apt to encounter a quick-handed scoundrel running a shell game, and that boy will take your money.

Williams is encouraging those who have old fur coats to donate them to PETA's drive so they can be given to the homeless this winter. "As a former fur wearer, I must say that I have not given fur any thought for a good seven years. I don't think that fur is a mark of success anymore. As a decent person with compassion, it just seems like the right thing to do," Williams said.

A Citizen's Income is an automatic, unconditional and nonwithdrawable income for every citizen, paid for by reducing tax allowances and means-tested and contributory benefits.
A Citizen's Income scheme (sometimes called Basic Income or Universal Benefit) is intended to overcome the failings of the present welfare state. It would be simple in application, increase economic efficiency, help prevent poverty and unite our society.
1. How would the Citizen's Income be paid for?
There are a number of ways;
* by expenditure savings on existing social security benefits * by savings on administration * by raising extra revenue by abolishing income tax allowances and reliefs * by extra revenue resulting from integrating National Insurance contributions into income tax * from the results of increased wealth creation through economic efficiency
Expenditure savings would arise because the payments would be deducted £ for £ from existing benefits, and would be a far less costly system to administer than the existing tax and benefits system. The Exchequer would get more revenue because the income tax base would be wider, because employees' and self-employed National Insurance contributions could be integrated into the new style income tax (chargeable on both unearned as well as earned income) and because fewer people would be caught in the poverty and unemployment traps and would be able to contribute through their earnings.
2. What amount of Citizen's Income could be afforded in present circumstances?
That depends on what sort of CI we should opt for. There are three possibilities:
FULL CI - defined as "enough to live on" - would require such high levels of income tax ( probably around 70 per cent) that it is unlikely to gain political or public support.
PARTIAL CI - defined as "needing to be supplemented for those without other income" - is usually taken to mean half the rate of Income Support for a married couple with less for children but considerably more for old-age and disability pensioners. Partial CI would need to be supplemented by other provision, especially for housing costs and for families with children, but far fewer people would need it than need means-tested benefits at the moment. For the majority of people income tax minus CI would be a smaller proportion of their income than direct tax is now. The level would depend on the size of the pensioner supplements, the speed with which existing benefits and non-personal income tax reliefs (such as for mortgage interest) could be phased out and the state of the economy.
TRANSITIONAL CI - is defined as the small payments which would be the first step towards a partial CI system. For an example, see the illustrative scheme on this website: click here.
3. Would many people on a Transitional CI not have enough to live on?
There are problems to be faced. Like social security at present the amounts available for CI depend on taxation policy. The integrated income tax rate would have to be a few percentage points higher than the present standard rate of income tax plus National Insurance contributions and this would result in a more progressive tax structure in which a majority of the population had slightly higher net incomes after adding CI to and deducting integrated income tax from their gross incomes and a minority of higher paid people had lower net incomes than now.
4 . Is income tax the only means by which Citizen's Income could be financed?
There may be other ways as well. In Alaska every citizen receives an annual income from the profits of oil produced at Prudhoe Bay. In the UK we might look at the idea of a "social dividend" financed out of the profits of industry as it adopts new technologies..
One of the most distinguished social welfare experts in this country, Professor A. B Atkinson , in a lecture delivered at the London School of Economics to mark the 50th anniversary of the Beveridge Report, said: "In my view, it is ...a mistake to see basic income as an alternative to social insurance. The historical opposition to Beveridge should be forgotten. It is more productive to see basic income as complementary. For this reason , I am much more persuaded by the approach to basic income adopted by Hermione Parker (1989) as the first phase of a move to a basic income. In her BIG Phase 1, she outlines a scheme which would replace tax allowances, although retaining an earned income disregard, but would keep the existing structure of social insurance benefits. However I would see this partnership between social insurance and basic income not just as a transitional compromise, but as an alternative conception of the basic income. The basic income would complement an improved social insurance scheme by reducing dependence on means tested social assistance and helping low wage workers".

Inhale and hold the evening in your lungs.

When you plant seeds in the garden, you don't dig them up every day to see if they have sprouted yet. You simply water them and clear away the weeds; you know that the seeds will grow in time. Similarly, just do your daily practice and cultivate a kind heart. Abandon impatience and instead be content creating the causes for goodness; the results will come when they're ready.
― Bhikshuni Thubten Chodron (via wolfandmay)

Being tender and open is beautiful. As a woman, I feel continually shhh'ed. Too sensitive. Too mushy. Too wishy washy. Blah blah. Don't let someone steal your tenderness. Don't allow the coldness and fear of others to tarnish your perfectly vulnerable beating heart. Nothing is more powerful than allowing yourself to truly be affected by things. Whether it's a song, a stranger, a mountain, a rain drop, a tea kettle, an article, a sentence, a footstep…feel it all – look around you. All of this is for you. Take it and have gratitude. Give it and feel love.

From: "Vickie Carter Tallent" <>
Subject: New Photo and Tree
Date: Mon, 25 Oct 2004 20:55:24 -0400
Dear Group:
I have added a tree for John Wesley Carter, born 1812 in Henry, VA. The submitter's mother was the Carter so he can not participate in the testing. He has also shared a photo of John Wesley, and I have added it to the photo page. I have also reworked the photo page so it will load more quickly. (I'm still learning). I've also been a little quieter than usual as I had been on vacation for a week, and, my computer's hard drive was hit by lightning or a power surge right before I left. They were able to save my data but I do not have it back together yet. I am working with my "antique" laptop, which is great to take on trips but not fast enough to do everything I am used to doing.

Macaulay Culkin, 17, and Rachel Miner, 17 The world was pretty surprised when the cute kid from "Home Alone" was married less than eight years after the film came out. In 1998, when he was just 17, Macaulay Culkin got hitched to fellow teen actress Rachel Miner, but not surprisingly, their wedded bliss didn't last. They were separated two years later and divorced by 2002.

Musharraf Declares State of Emergency in PakistanPosted on Nov 3, 2007
If any further proof was needed that Pakistan represents a major global concern at present, President Pervez Musharraf just provided it by declaring a state of emergency and storming the Pakistani Supreme Court. Meanwhile, the U.S. is "deeply disturbed" by these developments. Advertisement New and Improved CommentsIf you have trouble leaving a comment, review this help page. Still having problems?

By rodney, November 3, 2007 at 8:41 pm Link to this comment Can't start a war with Pakistan, they have nukes. Maybe Musharrif could put Osama Bin Laden under house arrest for us. Would the US allow Iran to harbor Bin Laden like they do in Pakistan? I doubt it. Democracy at the barrel of a gun. Worked for the US in Iraq. Musharrif figures it will work for him in Pakistan. He is just imitating the Decider.

By John Borowski, November 3, 2007 at 3:21 pm Link to this comment Instead of looking at North Korea or Iran one should look at Pakistan. Without the dictator Musharraf it will get in the hands of people that will have the nukes and the missile capability to use them. Like the Protestants that pine for the Armageddon, I believe there are similar pipe dreams in Pakistan. |

Le Apprentice
Last night's task was to sell great British innovations to our Parisian neighbours,the french.Lord sugar appointed Tom as leader of team logic.while Susan volunteered herself to be pm for team venture.it was pretty clear that the task would be won by the team which secured the contract with La Redoute, part of the world's third largest home shopping organisation.This would mean that Both teams would have to choose products that appealed to a largely female audience.Both teams chose their products and were ready to sell.team venture,managed by susan,clocked up sales which left her rivals trailing in the wake.simply put it was like watching a one sided boxing match with helen delivering the KO blow.Her pitch to La redoute was simply brilliant and she is now a definite contender for the £250,000 prize. It wasn't so rosey for tom and co as they were absolutely annihilated and faced the the dreaded boardroom,where one them would be fired.In the end it was leon who fell victim to the dreaded 'your fired' ! . Lord sugar made the right decision in getting rid of leon.He has not been visible for some weeks now and I was relieved that Tom survived despite his weak management and not demonstrating the courage of his convictions.

"Trumpeter Natsuki Tamura swings from the most hard-edged abstraction to the most touching lyricism on his two latest releases. On Cut the Rope (Libra) with First Meeting - Tamura, pianist Satoko Fujii, guitarist Kelly Churko, and drummer Tatsuhisa Yamamoto - Tamura pursues some of the most rigorously abstract free improvisation he's ever recorded. At the opposite end of the musical spectrum, Tamura's acoustic band "Gato Libre" - with Fujii on accordion, Kazuhiko Tsumura on guitar, and Norikatsu Koreyasu on bass - creates music of melodic, if surreal beauty on their fourth album Shiro (Libra). There are very few trumpeters capable of inhabiting such widely different musical worlds, but Tamura sounds equally at home in both settings.
Cut the Rope sounds unlike any other album Tamura has made. Conventional melody and structure take a back seat to fragmentation, textural and timbral explorations, and rapid-fire juxtapositions that create kaleidoscopic sound collages. Each track on this completely improvised CD is complex, but purposeful. The improvisations sound complete and organic because the careful listening, expert judgment, and musicianship of the band members shapes the music. The title track, for instance opens with the metallic clangor of cymbals, piercing wails from the trumpet, electric staccato bursts from guitar, and prepared piano. At times it is difficult to tell who is making which sound. The tension builds as the music grows denser and the pace quickens. Then it opens into a quiet spacious area pierced by high ghostly trumpet and rumbling piano chords, before building to a crescendo again. The band makes amazing use of texture and tone color on "Headwaters." Fujii's prepared piano sounds like a warped recording of a gamelon, while Churko scratches and scrapes, and Tamura growls and moans. The piece unexpectedly resolves into a simple, folk-like melody with jazzy guitar chords. On "Flashback," Churko's guitar buzzes and howls like a power saw as Tamura bends red-hot notes into tortured patterns. Drummer Yamamoto seems to be everywhere at once, an inescapable presence in the music racing around his drum kit interjecting rhythm and color. On "Kaleidoscopic," every sound is grist for this band's mill, with references to the blues, art rock, Stockhausen, free jazz, European free improvisation, all swirling and colliding in one of the most surprising and thrilling tracks on an already startling album.
A veteran of groups in both Japan and the United States, including quartets and big bands led by his wife, pianist Satoko Fujii, Tamura is a trumpet virtuoso praised by Derk Richardson in the San Francisco Bay Guardian for "Stylistically spanning a spectrum of musical history that includes trumpeters Clifford Brown, Miles Davis, Lester Bowie, and Toshinori Kondo..." As a leader, he has made 11 albums, including two unaccompanied solo discs, as well as four by Gato Libre, and two by his electric quartet. He and Satoko Fujii have also made several duet albums, and Tamura worked with Fujii and drummer John Hollenbeck in the collective Junk Box trio. "Tamura has worked to develop highly personal sound," writes Jason Bivins in Cadence, "employing various new techniques and tonal resources, including growls, flutters, squirts and split tones... beautiful music, defined by its intelligence and risk."
Tamura's penchant for risk-taking has never been more obvious than on his two widely divergent new releases."-Brathwaite & Katz

Dublin-based Warner Chilcott, a maker of women's health-care and dermatology products, was taken private in early 2005 in a $3.1 billion deal by Bain Capital LLC, Thomas H.

Those firms brought the drug maker public again in 2006 with an initial public offering. Recently, they've shed most of their interest in company, notably in a large block sale this past September in which members of the buyout group collectively sold 42.9 million shares for about $561.5 million.
On Friday, Warner noted that the Actavis talks "are at a preliminary stage and may or may not lead to an offer for the company."
News of a possible Actavis deal sent shares of Warner Chilcott soaring, rising 20% to $18.01 in 4 p.m. composite trading Friday, and giving the company a market value of about $4.5 billion. Actavis shares also jumped, gaining 12% to $119.86, and the company has a market value of around $15.3 billion.
Warner Chilcott had been in talks with potential suitors a year ago but ended those discussions after several months and decided instead to borrow $600 million to help fund a $1 billion special dividend, the company said at the time.
Actavis—based in Parsippany, N.J.—is the world's third-largest generic drug company, according to its website.
The company generated revenue of $5.9 billion last year from generic drugs, including a version of Lipitor, as well as branded drugs, mainly for urology and women's health. Actavis also develops biotech drugs.

Tuesday Morning Open Thread: Five Questions
1. Finish this sentence however you see fit: "In 2010, Vladimir Guerrero will _______."
2. Kevin Goldstein, speaking to Jason Parks: "Elvis Andrus didn't have a good year last year. He barely put up a .700 OPS last year. If you still think he's going to be good, that's one thing. If you think he was good last year, especially at the plate, he wasn't." Agree or disagree?
3. Does Mark McGwire's admission that he used performance-enhancing drugs during his record-breaking 1998 season tarnish your perception of his accomplishments and/or Hall of Fame credentials?
4. Should we at all care that Chris Davis and Nelson Cruz are tentatively slated to bat sixth and seventh, respectively, in manager Ron Washington's everyday lineup, and that Cruz is not batting any higher than he is?
5. How much in the way of hope is left for Blake Beavan, whom Goldstein views as a potential "long-reliever who can throw strikes" and apparently not much else?
[I do actually have some additional musings to share on the Guerrero/Green signings and the McGwire deal, but I'm choosing to withhold those until later in the day. Or something. And if you hate open threads, particularly during the middle of the week, (1) I'm sorry, and (2) you'll get over it.]

The History of Étude
The idea for the Étude High School for the Arts and Academics has been many years in the making. The idea that students can effectively learn through the arts has been in the Sheboygan Area School District for over 20 years in form of the SASD Artist in Residence program and the Integrated Arts as Basic Education Committee, a committee whose purpose it is to further instructional practices that use the arts as a means for students to learn and share the knowledge learned in school.
Two years ago, the SASD formed an exploratory committee to determine whether or not a separate charter school that integrated the arts was viable. The committee conducted an extensive literature review of different types of arts schools such as the Arts for Academic Achievement schools in Minneapolis and the Chicago Arts Partnership in Education and visited the International Network for Arts Based Schools. Following this an extensive interview process involving teachers, students and community members took place in order to gather their views of a potential arts infused charter school in Sheboygan. The results showed that schools at the elementary level and high school level were the most viable. In order to gain more information committee members visited the Renaissance School for the Arts in Appleton, Wisconsin and attended a conference of the A+ Schools Network a network of schools that integrate the arts and academics in North Carolina, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Michigan. The information from these visits was then put into a model for a potential school in the Sheboygan Area School District and an extensive round of focus groups of parents, students, teachers and community members was conducted to gather feedback on the model the SASD was looking to implement.
During the 2006-2007 school year the Étude High School for the Arts and Academics applied and was awarded a $50,000 Charter School Planning Grant from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. The grant was used to have teachers plan out the curriculum by aligning courses with academic standards along with the 21st Century Skills. The staff from Étude also participated in an institute at Harvard University by Project Zero a research group focused on creating communities of reflective, independent learners; enhancing deep understanding within disciplines; and promoting critical and creative thinking.
Currently, the Étude High School for the Arts and Academics is a public charter school in the Sheboygan Area School District using the arts to create reflective, creative and critical thinkers by teaching academic disciplines through the arts.

Flat Bill O'Reilly thanks for watching us tonight vicious battle between the left in the right unfolding in Wisconsin and that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo.
First to set up in March last year.
Governor Scott Walker signed a law eliminating most collective bargaining for Wisconsin's state employees.
Can never remember the level while.
Protesting vehemently against the new law it was even vandalism at the Statehouse.
Liberals very angry.
Because if Republican governors can show they'll get budgets under control by limiting compensation to state workers.
That's not what happened all over the country.
So in order to punish Governor Walker the Democratic Party issued a recall and it was successful they got enough signatures to put it to a vote and the final judgment will be made tomorrow.
The stakes are very high here for President Obama who does not does not.
Wanna constrained union bargaining power obviously most American labor unions support mr.
Governor Walker is a pretty good story to tell.
When he took office in January 2011.
Wisconsin and employment stood at seven point 7% now it's down six point 7%.
According to last reading in April.
On the spending front when walker took office there was a budget deficit of three point six billion dollars in Wisconsin.
Now the deficit is projected to be a 143.
Million dollars an astounding.
On the tax front is pretty much a wash Walker's first budget increase overall tax and Wisconsin but some businesses receive tax cuts to all walker.
Seems to be succeeding economically in Wisconsin thus -- focus on ideology left doesn't like him so what I wanna throw him out.
The real clear politics consensus in the polls is that walker will keep his job after tomorrow's vote.
The average has 51%.
Supporting walker.
45% against him favoring his democratic opponent Milwaukee mayor Tom -- Finally if governor organ does keep his job President Obama American labor and hardcore left we'll all be disappointed it's not so much about walker himself.
It's about the message that will be sent.
Big spending big government -- tough measures when it comes to taxpayer dollars.

I simply adore herbs. They require almost no maintenance, which is definitely a bonus in my book. They look wonderful in any type of garden, either in their own herb garden space, or mixed in with vegetables or even flowers. Plus, you get to use them in cooking! Herbs are packed with antioxidants that help keep our body healthy and strong. Adding fresh-from-the-garden herbs to your cooking not only tastes great, it's good for you too!
Here are seven herbs to plant - and enjoy - this summer:
1. Garlic grows tall and willowy, and just about everyone likes the taste. It may not ward off vampires, but some people swear that it can help reduce colds. Eating garlic on a regular basis can also help lower your cholesterol levels and improve your heart health.
2. I can't wait for August, when fresh tomatoes, fresh basil, and homemade mozzarella from the farmer's market all collide into one of my favorite meals. Basil comes in a wide variety of flavors, so plant 2 or 3 different types to find your favorites.
3. Chives are so easy to grow, you can even plant them inside in a sunny windowsill. Snip off a few tops to flavor potatoes or fish.
4. I planted dill a few summers ago, and it keeps coming up, year after year. I love herbs that self-seed, because it cuts down on my work!
5. Lavender is one of the herbs that likes to masquerade as a flower. You often see it planted in flower garden borders, but don't miss out on the lovely, fresh flavor added to brewed tea!
6. Rosemary smells so clean and fragrant, I adore adding it to tomato sauce and chicken recipes.
7. Oregano is a perfect addition to healthy Mediterranean-type foods. In some southern areas it can be grown as a perennial, but here in the frosty Northeast, I need to replant it every Spring.

Although the Orchard Evangelical Free Church won't discuss the fate of its controversial plan to raze several homes to create a parking lot, a nearby school district has agreed to provide some off-site parking for church members on Sundays and during events.
Arlington Heights School District 25 at its Thursday board meeting approved a 10-year contract that allows the church to use its parking lots at nearby schools Olive-Mary Stitt, 303 E. Olive St., and Thomas Middle, 1430 N. Belmont Ave.
The agreement gives the church the right to use the lots for overflow parking on Sundays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., during its annual Easter and Christmas concerts and for other church activities as long as the school district isn't already using them.
The agreement also lets the school district use the church's parking lot, 1330 N. Douglas Ave., every school day from 7 a.m. and for events that do not conflict with the church's own uses.
Stacey Mallek, the district's assistant superintendent for business, said the schools have for years used the church's lot -- especially for pick-ups and drop-offs -- under an informal agreement. So far, she said, there have been no issues.
"We have a kind of unwritten agreement with Orchard Evangelical Free Church," she said. "They have been working through some parking issues of their own -- some of their options were not well-received by the community."
Indeed, the church's $1 million surface parking lot project, which was announced earlier this year, has not gone over well in parts of the Hickory Meadows neighborhood. The parking lot was scheduled to be built over the summer.
The parking lot proposal included a plan to demolish nine properties the church has already purchased along North Haddow Avenue, East Olive Street and North Douglas Avenue, including eight homes and a playground area, as well the public street of Haddow Avenue.
The new parking lot would have added 223 parking spots, bringing the total available up to 522.
After hearing of the plan, some neighbors in the Hickory Meadows Community Group organized and began regularly attending Arlington Heights Village Board meetings.
They claimed the neighborhood was impacted because the church emptied its rental properties before the project even was approved.
At a community meeting in June, many of them also slammed the church's plans as selfish.
Kim Fuller, a neighbor involved in the opposition, said she wasn't aware of the District 25 contract.
"I would hope that would mean that they've decided not to expand their own parking lot, as all good neighbors here would hope," she said. "We're in a holding pattern waiting to hear if the church is going forward or if they are changing their plan."
Meanwhile, the church maintains that its membership continues to grow.
To deal with increasing membership, the church launched satellite campuses and attempted to create a shuttle service that ultimately proved unpopular.
Church officials also said tenants were aware that, if they were given proper notice, their rental leases could end. The houses also were deteriorating and financially burdensome, the church said.
As for the latest agreement with District 25 – the church said simply that there were no updates for its parking lot plan.
"All I know is it was to formalize our existing agreement," said Claire Bechard, a church spokeswoman.
