Milwaukee/NARI Urges Homeowners to Take Care of Your Health During National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week
The National Association of the Remodeling Industry's (NARI) Milwaukee chapter is raising awareness of the dangers of lead exposure by observing National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week on Oct. 21-27, 2012.
New survey results of NARI National remodelers in June 2012 reveal a continued lack of homeowner awareness of the Environmental Protection Agency's Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting (LRRP) Rule, which requires certification and lead-safe work practices for any renovation, repair or painting projects that disturbs more than six square inches in homes and child care facilities built prior to 1978.
The recent LRRP data shows 74 percent of remodelers placed homeowners awareness levels of RRP and its requirements at either no awareness or poor awareness levels. In addition, 86 percent of remodelers reported no change of LRRP awareness in the past six months.
"The lack of homeowner awareness is very concerning to NARI members—more than two years after the rule went into effect—especially due to the health implications of lead exposure and the widespread presence of lead hazards in the current housing stock," says NARI National President Dean Herriges, MCR, CKBR, of Urban Herriges & Sons, based in Mukwonago, Wis.
The LRRP rule is designed to protect pregnant women and children under six from toxic lead exposure by requiring contractors to complete an eight-hour training course outlining lead-safe work practices that contain and minimize lead dust. Those who complete the course must supervise the renovation of pre-1978 homes, and the contracting firm must be a certified firm with the EPA.
NARI is concerned that lack of awareness of LRRP is putting the public at higher risk for lead exposure. With this in mind, Milwaukee/NARI is providing this checklist to minimize lead exposure for homeowners living in pre-1978 homes:
• Verify at least one person is a Certified Renovator and has documented the training of the work crew and is supervising the work being completed in the home.
• Know that these certifications must be accessible at the work site at all times.
• Firms must post signs before renovation begins, clearly defining the work area and warning occupants and other persons not involved in renovation activities to remain outside of the work area.
• Make sure you understand and sign the EPA's "Renovate Right" brochure.
• Remove all belongings from the immediate area of the renovation.
• Notice if your contractor is using plastic sheeting that is taped six feet beyond the perimeter of surfaces undergoing renovation; reusable cloth coverings are not acceptable.
• Renovators should be cleaning up and mopping daily to minimize dust contamination.
• Contractors must use HEPA vacuums and/or wet mopping to remove lead particles.
• All contaminated materials should be placed in heavy duty plastic bags before your contractor disposes of them.
The Milwaukee/NARI Home Improvement Council was chartered in July 1961, as a Chapter of the National Home Improvement Council. In May of 1982, the National Home Improvement Council merged with the National Remodelers Association to form NARI – the National Association of the Remodeling Industry.
The Council's goals of encouraging ethical conduct, professionalism, and sound business practices in the remodeling industry have led to the remodeling industry's growth and made NARI a recognized authority in that industry. With over 800 members, the Milwaukee Chapter is the nation's largest.

I mad this with leftover turkey from Thanksgiving and it was perfect! I made the recipe as it is, and added cannellini beans, along with the pasta. Awesome!flag if inappropriate
Used Tuscan kale as opposed to spinach. Added cannellini beans and ceci beans as opposed to pasta. Fennel for celery. Most nice.flag if inappropriate
Really really good. I added about 3 cups of turkey from the carcass and a couple tablespoons of congealed pan drippings (sans fat). Delicious! The only problem is that 10 cups of stock wasn't nearly enough. I guess the turkey and noodles soaked it all up. I thought about adding some Swanson turkey stock to turn it back into an actual soup, but it tastes too good as is to mess with it.flag if inappropriate
Try cooking this in the pressure cooker on high for an hour. Allow it to cool naturally. I used chicken broth instead of water and peeled tomatoes from my garden. Taste test is good as is, but I think I will add some ravioli.flag if inappropriate
I just found this soup okay. It wasn't bad, but it was a little bland. There are other things I would rather do with leftover turkey.flag if inappropriate
Yes, it's as good as the other reviewers say, and I forgot the recommended lemon. And it's beautiful. With excellent bread, a salad with goat cheese and dried fruit, and a good parmesan, not too finely grated, this would make an elegant company lunch. The only change I made was to add an entire 28 oz can of diced tomatoes, undrained. I must say I'm puzzled, though, at the indication that this could serve 8 or 10. Two of us ate half of it for supper. It's hard to imagine that it could be stretched to 10 of even the most abstemious people.flag if inappropriate
I used stock I had already made, and did not add leeks or celery because I had none on hand. I also added roughly 2 cups of leftover turkey meat. This was a fantastic recipe, and was a hit among family and friends. I will definitely be making this again.flag if inappropriate
Had a left over roasted turkey from Christmas and made this soup. Followed directions pretty closely and it turned out to be the best turkey soup I've made! Much better than most typical turkey soup recipes. The Tuscan flavors made all the difference.flag if inappropriate
This recipe is delish!! I made it as recommended but did add a little lemon juice and zest as some other cooks suggested. I also added one can of white beans and about a cup and a half of leftover shredded turkey. We had brined our turkey so the stock was full of flavor. This is by far, the best recipe that I've discovered in a while! It is going in the recipe box and I plan on making it again very soon.flag if inappropriate
This soup is beautiful...all the colors and the aroma! It turned out very well and I added some cooked pasta at the end since I had some on hand. Next time I may try it with some of the variations mentioned by the other reviewers.flag if inappropriate

Vendor Summary
by five former IBM employees in 1972 and based in Walldorf, Germany, SAP AG
is the No. 1 vendor in the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software arena,
(19,000 employees, 31% of worldwide ERP market), and one of the largest independent
software companies in the world, currently present in 107 countries. The Company's
revenues increased from DM2.6 billion in 1995 to DM8.4 (US$5.1) billion in 1998
(see SAP AG Annual Results Chart). The Company posted a $631 million net profit
in 1998, while the majority of its main competitors encountered major financial
difficulties. SAP's first generation of software was introduced in 1973 and
consisted of a modest financial accounting operation. In 1981, the Company introduced
its second generation of application software, the R/2 System, that had the
capacity to be installed enterprise-wide on mainframe computers. SAP's primary
product is the R/3 System for client/server (distributed) architectures, that
was brought to market in the early 1990s. Today, SAP is in the process of completing
one of its most aggressive new product launches in its history by introducing
its "New Dimension" products line, which initially includes independent
business applications for Supply Chain Management (SCM) - ("SAP APO"),
Client Relationship Management (CRM) - ("SAP Sales", "SAP Service",
"SAP Marketing"), Business Intelligence (BI) - ("SAP BW",
"SAP SEM", "SAP KM"), and e-Commerce ("SAP B2B").
In addition to dividing the system into components, SAP has begun development
of a series of pre-configured R/3 templates ("AcceleratedSAP") for
use within specific industries. By the end of 1998, the Company had licensed
more than 19,000 system installations to more than 10,700 customers worldwide,
with approx. 60% of SAP customers greater than $200 million in revenue. SAP
went public in 1984 (1998 on NYSE) and its shares trade on the New York, Frankfurt,
and Stuttgart stock exchanges.
Fig. 1
Vendor Strengths
market position and brand recognition, very sound financial situation, sustained
investment in R&D (13% of revenue, 25% of workforce), very strong direct
sales force (18% of employees), excellent informal corporate culture that
nurtures creativity of employees.
technology, very broad and deep core ERP solution (R/3), together with an
excellent reputation for innovation (very healthy new product flow) and
formidable support & maintenance infrastructure.
entire product suite has been developed in-house, thereby eliminating integration
problems, experienced by competitors in their acquisitions' aftermath.
Fig. 2
Vendor Challenges
reputation for protracted (very often over 18 months) and costly implementations
(often 7-10 times software license costs), as well as a complex, rigid product
that often imposes radical change on customers' business practices. This
could be a possible impediments for SAP's ability to penetrate the much
coveted Small-to-Medium Enterprises (SME) market.
competitive market; SAP revenue is recently driven by service and maintenance,
with steep deceleration in license revenue (only 13% total revenue growth
in the last 2 quarters with only 1% growth in license revenue and 7% drop
in net profit compared to the same period last year - see SAP AG Quarterly
Results Chart); Steady growth from previous years will be very difficult
to maintain, simply by virtue of Company size.
"New Dimension" products have been either late-to-market ("SAP
B2B") or have poor functionality ("SAP APO"), or both (CRM
product suite), compared to equivalent niche players' products (Ariba, i2,
Siebel, respectively).
Fig. 3
Vendor Predictions
annual growth (10%-20%) in 1999 (see ERP Vendors Annual Growth Chart), however
higher than those of most competitors, market share expected to grow to
35% by year 2003 (70% probability).
Dimension" and "Industry-Specific" products (particularly
"SAP BW" and "SAP HR") will be significant contributors
to SAP sales revenue (up to 30% within next 3 years).
very unlikely, the focus will be on strategic alliances with renowned VAR
and ASP companies in order to penetrate SME market via outsourcing offerings,
especially for "SAP HR" and "AcceleratedSAP" vertical
industry solutions.
Fig. 4
Vendor Recommendations
Small-to-Medium Enterprises (SME) market segment with the entire product
portfolio of component applications, mainly through indirect channels and
outsourcing arrangements.
direct sales force to expand the business in existing large customer base,
both by increasing number of seats and offering New Dimension and Industry-Specific
products, as well as by helping existing customers improve the economic
value of their R/3 installations (ValueSAP initiative).
committed to speedy and fully-functional new product introductions (complete
CRM and BI product suites) and to reduction of product complexity and implementation
price (TeamSAP, EnjoySAP, and ValueSAP initiatives), by increasing R&D
budget for 1999 at least 10% over the 1998 level ($640 million).
moderate sales, marketing and administrative cost cutting in order to keep
total operating expenses for 1999 under 10% increase compared to 1998 ($4.1
Fig. 5
User Recommendations
would be hard pressed to find a case where SAP should not, with a good reason,
be included on at least an initial long list of vendors in a global ERP
should be on a short list in any enterprise application selection process
within the following industries: chemical, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals,
engineering and construction, aerospace and defense, high-tech, fast-moving
consumer goods and retail, utilities, service providers, financial institutions,
and public sector.
might not be a strong contender in a case of time- and/or budget- constrained
ERP implementation with a narrow functionality scope (e.g. HR or financial
module only).
SAP is the final choice, future SAP clients should consider the following:
the license fee per module if the entire R/3 breadth is not needed.
for future incorporation of "New Dimension" components by
bundling them into contract now at negotiated license fees.
away from consulting partners who don't follow SAP's ASAP implementation
methodology, the best scenario would be to use SAP Company's consultants
or partners belonging to TeamSAP initiative.
for successful SAP implementation: commitment of top-level management,
proper end-user training, close monitoring of project progress, and
molding R/3 in order to accommodate business processes (not the other
way around).

Sunday Funnies: Andrew Luck's path to Soldier Field. (gif)
Recent comments
debuting the new format 1 game "sudden death" WC matchup at yankee stadium does a perfect job of showing the intense emotion and drama this game can be.
that said, i'm ready to not see yankee stadium or hear fans at yankee stadium for another 5 and 1/2 months. at least i don't have to sit through the braves with their "tommy hawk chawp" this postseason.
i'd like to know why the mlb.tv internet radio feed of the game (which is always delayed by a few seconds at best) is almost a minute faster than the ESPN cable TV coverage. wtf?
i dont know what order they'll be in, but i pretty much expect fowler/schwarb/rizzo/bryant/montero/castro/lastella/arrieta. any change at all (aside from the first 4 guys) wouldn't shock me, though. coghlan is still a wildcard in the lineup equation...plus joe could always march d.ross out there with very slow arrieta pitching.
Yup. Have to agree. Baseball, like golf, certainly has that psych component for the player. There is no real reason why a fielding position should affect a batting average. The Cubs are 106 years over due for a little luck. Don't you guys think so? Maybe the rookies can bring some dumb luck on.
probably stacking capable lefties vs cole while keeping the "hot" castro in the game. fwiw, he's 1-6 lifetime with 0 bb/k vs cole (double).
i chalk bryant's issues at the plate while playing OF up to coincidence so far.
I will call your dead horse, "Trigger".
In one game, when anything is possble, I am glad that Joe Maddon is our Manager.
He knows the stats better than all of us. It would seem, IF La Stella gets the start at 3B, it will be only up to the point that they were to get the lead (crosses fingers). From everything I have read, the game will be managed like a hoops game: offense/defense. So expect La Stella to be out of the game by the 5th. This team is incredibly deep which is so surprising. We never woulda thunk it.
i don't know what their roster plans are, but j.herrera is out there practicing with the team.
i can't imagine him making any roster, though. dude had 4 PA the entire month of sept. him being a good dude to be around while keeping the clubhouse loose seems to be his main role at this point.
I know it's my own personal dead horse to beat --but Bryant has been a lousy hitter when playing the OF this year. Given that it's his first playoff game, I really hope they keep him in his natural position and don't mess with his routine.
Lousy as in 8-for-45 with one XBH and no HR. Small sample and all that -- but why take the chance?
hard to tell what's up given they'll probably want to stack as many good lefties into the lineup as possible.
castro being a bit hot doesn't help things. if he was still cool they'd probably stick la stella at 2nd and call it a day.
Madden won't announce lineups but Stella is practicing at 3rd and Bryant in LF today. I'd rather see Bryant at 3rd but I guess Stella has been hotter than Coghlan.
/edit. Though I guess they could be practicing this with the idea Stella would come in as a PH then double switch him to 3rd base and Bryant to LF. Hope that's the plan instead
I really like the sound of that idea about expanding the AFL to ten teams. Each org. gets to field more players.
They should do that anyway, regardless of Adv. Instructs.
Dallas Beeler, Corey Black, David Garner, Pierce Johnson, Steve Perakslis, James Pugliese, Duane Underwood Jr, and Rob Zastryzny threw early-morning bullpen side-sessions at Riverview yesterday.
Underwood threw last, and received specific one-on-one instruction from pitching coach Mike Mason.
HAGSAG: There are only five advanced instructs squads left, and presently the only "co-op" team operating is the Angels/Cubs.
The league was originally established as a "parallel" league to the AFL (a sort of "junior AFL"), for players too advanced for traditional ("basic") instructs but who were unable to get placed on AFL rosters due to AFL player-limits.
He is but I would think it'd be better to start out with offense and then bring in Jackson and LaStella once they have a lead. Stella has very good PH #s too.
most likely cost sharing + the league is short on players anyway. not many teams are chipping in on 'advanced instructional.'
I'm glad this is a one game playoff coming up, because McCutchen is one of my favorite MLB players. And as a baseball fan, I rather like the Pirates. I hope we beat them bad, of course. No mixed feelings here. And, I don't want a nail biter. Too old for that shit. The team of moran fans is easy to hate, though, and more suitable for a longer series.

Diversity Statements
The University Presidents commitment to diversity is not to set specific numerical goals, but to expect each of the Vice Presidents, Deans, and Department Directors to fully comply with the Affirmative Action/EEO Diversity Policies. The expectation is to develop and implement strategies for increasing and maintain racial, ethnic, and gender diversity in their respective areas, and ensure that whenever the choice is between two candidates of equal qualification, the choice be made in favor of the candidate who increases diversity. It also should be noted that progress in this area will be a measureable goal included in their respective performance evaluations.
As a public institution of higher education, Idaho State University has both an extraordinary opportunity and a special responsibility to create and maintain a climate that affirms diversity of persons as well as diversity of views. Diversity is an indispensable component of academic excellence. A commitment to diversity means a commitment to the inclusion, welcome and support of individuals from all groups, encompassing the various characteristics of persons in our community. Among these characteristics are race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, age, socioeconomic background, religion, sexual orientation and disability. As we harness the power of diversity, we will provide students, faculty and staff with a university experience rich in perspectives and in opportunities to learn from each other in the spirit of shared responsibility. Idaho State University should encourage each university unit and student organization, as well as community members to help make its campus a welcoming place for all.

Located outside of Grand Canyon National Park, the West Rim is privately owned and operated by the Hualapai Tribe in a remote part of Arizona's wilderness. If you opt to drive yourself, rather than taking one of the shuttle vehicles or planes, make sure it's in good working condition, as there are no gas stations or fast food stops along the way. Any way you get there though, the remote vistas and unique Skywalk make the West Rim memorable. Visiting the West Rim requires the purchase of a tour package for entry.
Native American Culture
The Grand Canyon's West Rim offers a chance to explore the Hualapai nation's culture in addition to the stunning beauty of the Grand Canyon. Traditionally hunter-gatherers, the tribe, whose name means 'People of the Tall Pines,' once roamed more than five million acres. Now the Hualapai American Indian Reservation covers nearly one million acres, including 108 miles of the Colorado River and Grand Canyon. After struggling with economic hardships, the Hualapai people opened their land to the public in 1988, deeming it Grand Canyon West.

Spartans Take Volleyball in Three
Kalamazoo, MI – Michigan State overcame DePaul on Saturday morning in three straight games (30-25, 30-17, 30-20). After a loss on Friday to Wright State, the team couldn't bounce back to defeat the Spartans in their second match of the WMU Tournament.
Although the score doesn't reflect the Blue Demon's efforts, their level of play was certainly upped a notch. "This was a much better performance. I was very pleased with how we came out and played well after a disappointing match with Wright State," Head Coach Dawn Dockstader said. "We really worked through some things that gave us trouble last night. We played our best match of the year."
The Blue Demon's offense delivered a steady match. Katie Engel had 12 kills with a hitting percentage of .333. Lara Marks averaged .438 after totaling eight kills. Amie West directed the front line with 30 assists.
Dockstader and her squad face the Broncos of Western Michigan tonight at 7 p.m. to conclude their second tournament of the season.

She looked amazing in her wedding gown and after the chapel situation turned into a scene reminiscent of You Only Live Twice with guys parachuting in through the roof (only in Bond it was a volcano), the outdoor, California nuptials were not only nicer, it gave Chuck a chance to give Ellie the wedding she really wanted.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. First there was Chuck's official exit from Buy More. He symbolically turned in his pocket protector, and since Emmet was in charge instead of Big Mike, it had to have been a lot easier for Chuck. With the future laid out before him, Chuck's only desire was to propose to Sarah...that they go on vacation.
It was naive of Chuck to think that just because the Intersect was out of his head -- and it really was because there were no flashes till the end of the show -- that it was out of his life. The reveal about Bryce, how he had been chosen by Orion to protect Chuck at Stanford and that it was Bryce's decision to put the Intersect in Chuck's head because he had faith in Sarah guarding him and Chuck handling it, made perfect sense. And it set up Chuck's heroic decision at the end in light of Bryce's death to become the Intersect -- the new, improved Intersect -- again.
The scene in the white room was the highpoint. The touch of making part of the new Intersect delivery system the original Mac Plus, complete with disk drive, was perfect. It tied it back to Orion's original construct. After taking in the new Intersect in an optical overload, Chuck not only had a world of information in his head, but he also had a whole new skill set.
Casey and Sarah were unable to disarm the bad guys (they didn't identify themselves as Fulcrum; the head guy said they were "spies"), but Chuck turned into a one-man kung fu wrecking crew. He reminded me of Jennifer Garner on Alias, kicking ass and downing all comers. Sarah and Casey were shocked. So was Chuck. And thus we were left with the "to be continued" if they do continue. Chuck as not only the Intersect to be protected, but the Intersect with an arsenal to protect himself.
There were a lot of things to love in this finale. Chuck's advice to Morgan to pursue his dream even if it's scary; Orion's passing on the wrist computer to Chuck; Chuck's grateful/awkward hug with Casey; Sarah telling Chuck during a very slow dance that he was a hero; Chuck finally getting paid by the U.S. government and using the check for Ellie's "awesome" beach wedding; Chevy Chase's smug Ted Roark character not only getting slugged by Stephen, but then shot by the guys he thought were there to rescue him.
What didn't work in the show as the over-reliance on music. There were too many musical interludes that bumped into each other, making it feel like a wall-to-wall playlist. Less would have been more.
Still, it doesn't change the fact that Chuck's finale was a home run. Now, if only NBC would allay all our concerns by giving the show a pick up for Season Three.

Buffalo, NY -- Local radio station WBLK teamed up with Child and Family Services Saturday at the Lockwood Library for the fourth annual "Christmas for Kids."
The partnership along with members of the community teamed up to fufill the wish lists of 15 children enrolled in foster care and adoption programs across Western New York.
Mary Cornwell, director of Public Relations for Child and Family Services said the event does a great job raising awareness for foster care and family adoption programs.
Santa helped deliver the gifts, while children enjoyed games, refreshments and music during the event.
Cornwell said the event was a success.
"It shows that the community cares and it help them believe in the spirit of the season," Cornwell said. "It also means a lot for our parents because not only are the giving their time and opening their homes and hearts, but it helps them in providing for their children."

Help With Aging At Home Saves VA Money, Keeps Vets Happy By Keiko Sagami • Apr 22, 2015 Keiko Sagami As veterans get older, expenses start to add up. Especially nursing home care, when all they really need is some help at home. So now, one Missoula pilot program that does that is expanding to other parts of Montana. It helps people like Eugene Hertz. He's an 83-year-old Korean War veteran. He's got a bad back, and his doctors don't want him doing very much because of it. That really gets on his nerves, and means that his wife Joann has to do a lot of the housework. VA Secretary Outlines "My VA" Plan At Helena Roundtable By Steve Jess • Apr 1, 2015 U.S. Senator Jon Tester and Veteran's Affairs Secretary Robert McDonald are on a two-day tour of the state, visiting VA facilities in Helena, Missoula, and Billings. Tuesday morning they were at Fort Harrison in Helena. McDonald says it's the 120th VA facility he's toured since taking over the troubled agency last July. McDonald and Tester sat down with about one hundred veterans and active service members, along with representatives of a range of interest groups, for a round-table discussion. VA Officials Hear Health-Care Concerns During Montana Listening Tour By Steve Jess • Mar 31, 2015 Veterans' Affairs Secretary Robert McDonald is hearing a range of concerns about his agency's performance on a two-day tour of VA facilities in Montana. With Senator Jon Tester at his side, VA secretary McDonald listened to representatives of various groups, from mental health advocates to the American Legion, spell out what the VA needs to do to better serve the thousands of veterans across the state. He said the fact that Montana's VA Health Care System went without a permanent director for eight months is a symptom of the problems his agency is facing. Tester, VA Director Clash Over 'Closure' Of Psych Unit By Edward O'Brien • Feb 10, 2015 CC-BY-2.0 The acting director of veterans health care in Montana is on the defensive after Senator Jon Tester said the VA health center in Helena is temporarily closing its inpatient mental health unit. In a letter to VA Secretary Robert McDonald in Washington, Tester said, "staffing levels at the VA in Montana are at the point where it can no longer safely staff the eight bed acute inpatient section of the mental health facility at Ft. Harrison" in Helena. Johnny Ginnity, acting director at Ft. Harrison says, that doesn't mean the mental health ward is being closed. Sen. Tester: Hiring Delays For Montana VA Director 'Completely Unacceptable' By Edward O'Brien • Jan 29, 2015 Courtesy photo It's been eight months since the Montana VA had a permanent director and Senator Jon Tester says he's fed up with the delay. Tester fired-off a letter to VA Secretary Robert McDonald this week calling it "completely unacceptable". The Democrat says he only recently found out that a hire was imminent about three months ago. However, the Office of Management and Budget found a "screw-up" that scuttled the process. Montana University System Requests $53 Million In Bonds For Infrastructure By Jackie Yamanaka - Yellowstone Public Radio • Jan 27, 2015 The Montana University System is asking lawmakers for permission to issue just over $53 million in bonds. The money would be used to renovate existing buildings to protect the life and safety of students, faculty and staff; bring the buildings up to code; and for improvements to classrooms and laboratories. Among the projects: the library building at Montana State Billings. It has the largest lecture classrooms on campus, but it doesn't comply with the federal Americans with Disabilities Act. Veterans Sound Off At VA Town Hall In Missoula By Christopher Allen • Jan 15, 2015 Christopher Allen Over 100 veterans met with Montana VA Health Care leaders in Missoula Wednesday night, some to ask, "Why can't I get care? The leaders came to Missoula at the direction of VA Secretary Robert McDonald, who's called for town hall meetings to get feedback from veterans to try to rebuild their trust in the wake of national criticism for long delays in treatment and cover-ups about false scheduling records at VA facilities in Phoenix. The vets at the meeting in Missoula sounded happy with their VA doctors, but it's the agency's bureaucracy that has some frustrated and worried. In Final Senate Speech, Walsh Highlights Veteran Suicides, Money In Politics, Public Lands By Christopher Allen • Dec 10, 2014 Senator John Walsh used his last speech on the Senate floor this morning to talk about money in politics, protecting Montana public lands and veteran suicides. In August, Walsh dropped out of his Senate reelection bid amid a plagiarism scandal. Walsh said 22 veterans commit suicide every day. "If this country were losing 22 service members a day on the battlefield, Americans would be in the streets protesting." On Tuesday, the House unanimously passed a bill to reduce vet suicides, it's now before the Senate. Closed primaries, V.A. craziness and campaign chicanery By Josh Burnham • Jun 27, 2014 Over the weekend, Montana Republicans held their platform convention in Billings. Chuck Johnson of Lee Newspapers reports that Republicans, "Irked at what they believe is Democrats interfering in their primary elections. . . called for closing their primaries and allowing only registered Republicans to vote in them." Delegates also supported a resolution to turn over federal public lands to the state. Veteran's Viewpoint By Dan Gallagher • Jun 18, 2014 This is Dan Gallagher with Veteran's Viewpoint. There's a lot to talk about in the veterans' world these days. For example, on May 30th VA Secretary Shinseki resigned that position--but I find neither pleasure nor optimism in that action, mostly because of the way it came to be.

Ayala ready to pay Capitol for lease properties-A A +A
By Carla N. Canet and Teresa Ellera
Saturday, August 24, 2013
AYALA Land Inc. (ALI) is ready to pay the Negros Occidental government for its leased properties for so long as it is cleared from structures.
This, as Mary Ann Lamis of the Provincial Legal Office said based on the Lease Contract between ALI and the province.
"Ayala is going and they are just waiting for Capitol to clear the lots from structures," Lamis said citing the contract.
She said that since the Commission on Audit has already approved the contract between Capitol and ALI, there is no more restriction in so far as the contract is concerned unless of a Temporary Restraining Order or Injunction. "So far, there is none at this time, so we can go ahead with the plans for the said properties," Lamis said.
ALI, based on its plans, will develop the Capitol properties by putting up convention center, malls, and terraces.
Gov. Alfredo Marañon, Jr. had confirmed on Friday that the demolition of the structures that include the buildings occupied by the Provincial Environment Management Office (Pemo), Office of the Provincial Agriculturist, and the National Telecommunications Communication would all be demolished in September this year.
He said that based on the contract, Ayala will pay two years advance and one year deposit for the leased properties that covers 4.1 hectares from the portion at the Fountain Area of PNB to the Pemo building.
The properties covered by the Deed of Sale are now on hold because of the pending court case for Certiorari filed by ShoeMart Prime Holdings, Inc.
The Ayala's development plan for Capitol properties is already delayed for two years since they have signed it.
Meanwhile, Lamis said, the Regional Trial Court is set to hold the last hearing of the case filed by SM Prime Holdings, Inc. (SMPHI) against the members of the Provincial Bids and Disposal of Government Properties on September 16.
SMPHI, Lamis said, will present a witness.
Jaime Zobel de Ayala, on the other hand, will be in Bacolod City on Tuesday as he will be visiting him at the Bacolod Government Center at 8 a.m.
"The city will be tendering a breakfast for him and local business men will join him also," Bacolod City Mayor Monico Puentevella said.
"He is my personal friend. He promised me before that as soon as I would win as mayor, he would come to Bacolod to thank the people of Bacolod for the support given to Ayala investments. We have always given the Ayala companies, the support in the city, so he is here to extend his thanks to Bacolodnons," he added.
He would also see the governor and visit his various companies here in Bacolod. He will take a look at the situation in the city and hopefully, he will expand more of his businesses here.

SAN FRANCISCO (Marketwatch) -- If the U.S. government has to buy stakes in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, current equity holders may be wiped out, experts said on Monday.
On Sunday, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson unveiled a three-part plan to try to stabilize Fannie FNM, +5.26% and Freddie FRE, +0.64% which have been hammered by the real estate slump.
One part of the plan would give the Treasury temporary authority to buy equity stakes in either company to make sure they have enough capital to keep supporting the mortgage and housing markets.
Shares of Fannie and Freddie jumped during early trading on Monday. However, they lost ground during afternoon trading as investors and analysts worried that any equity investment from the government would probably come at a cost.
"We are deeply concerned that a potential equity investment by the Treasury would severely dilute current shareholders," Kevin Cole, an analyst at Standard & Poor's Equity Research, wrote in a note to clients on Monday.
Others were more pessimistic.
"We assume their stock prices will go to zero -- the government won't pay to buy them," David Ader, head of government bond strategy at RBS Greenwich Capital, told investors in a Monday note.
Fannie and Freddie have operated with the implicit backing of the U.S. government. Now that they've been hit hard by losses on their huge mortgage exposures, that backing is become more explicit. See full story.
However, simply bailing out all investors in these companies, including equity holders, would be a controversial use of taxpayer money, some said on Monday.
"The only reason for the Treasury to invest would be to restore Fannie and Freddie to stable operations by recasting the enterprises and downsizing them," said Joseph Mason, an associate professor of finance at Drexel University's LeBow College of Business who has studied past financial crises. "That would mean shareholders would certainly take a loss even beyond current values and the stocks would never recover to previous highs."
"The only appropriate use for government bailout funds is to right-size organizations and stabilize them," he said. "Public money should not be used to enrich private shareholders."
Indeed, when Paulson unveiled the proposed bailout of Fannie and Freddie this weekend, he warned that such support would come with strings attached.
"Use of either the line of credit or the equity investment would carry terms and conditions necessary to protect the taxpayer," he said in a statement.
Freddie shares fell 4 to $7.44 during afternoon trading on Monday. Fannie stock dropped 1% to $10.15.
Too big to fail
Freddie Mac said earlier this year that it planned to raise $5.5 billion selling new equity. However, the company hasn't managed to do that yet and has said more recently that any offering wouldn't take place until some time in August. By contrast, Fannie raised $6 billion earlier this year.

Jim Goddard, principal of Santa Rosa High School, has been reassigned to a position in the district office. His last day as principal at the Mendocino Avenue campus is Friday.
He will begin as "principal on special assignment" Monday at the district's Ridgway Avenue offices. The announcement was made to Santa Rosa's teachers Wednesday afternoon.
"We will be starting our search immediately to find someone new," Superintendent Sharon Liddell said.
Goddard said the move was not his idea.
"I was asked to accept the position and I did," he said after the meeting.
Superintendent Sharon Liddell would not elaborate on reasons for the reassignment. "The taking of this position is not a demotion," Liddell said.
But veteran teachers at the school described the relationship between staff and students and Goddard as strained from the start.
Goddard, who was in his third year as principal, encountered controversies almost from the beginning. They included teacher dismissals that were subsequently reversed, elimination of a popular woodshop program that was later saved and preferential parking places for students who scored well on state exams.
"I'm glad he's gone because I think he's a detriment to the school," said John Cortopassi, a history instructor at Santa Rosa and teachers' union representative.
"He immediately lost the faith of the staff because of his lack of candor. No one really trusted what he had to say," Cortopassi said.

A 13-year-old kid hacked UFC.com
Last week the MMA world operated under the supervision of JoshTheGod, Anonymous and S3rver.exe. It was as if we all inhabited some heavily visited EfNet IRC chatroom with mods that had complete control over our lives. Don't worry, I won't make fun of you for not understanding some nerd-injected reference. In fact, if you're confused then I applaud your lack of understanding. It shows that you actually had a childhood when you were a kid. Back in high school, my Saturday nights heavily revolved around the amount of warez I could download from anonymous bots across IRC. I even dipped out of my senior prom just so that I could watch a Star Trek: Next Generation marathon with my pops while I combed the web for HERF blueprints.
Look, I never was laid in high school. My time was spent building macros for Ultima Online and attempting to hack websites. In a sense, I aspired to be like S3rver.exe, the 13-year-old that successfully hacked UFC upon Dana White's request. Softpedia interviewed the teenage hacker to see what inspired him to deface UFC.com among a slew of other sites.
I started hacking when I was 11. Botnets and Rats inspired me and then a friend introduced me to SQL injection and other hacking stuff.
Basically, I started hacking because I saw many videos and news around the world about hacking and then I also wanted to learn. I made heaps of Internet friends and they taught me some tricks.
And I guess hacking is my type because I really like computers and I want to get a job in computing.
I have breached the Administrator of usa.gov yesterday. That was fun. I went through the directories and stuff. Me and my friend Sterlok breached the security.
Then I did a live deface on UFC.com and UFC.tv. The live deface was on Tinychat. I was sharing my screen and people were watching me deface.
Now I have XSS'ed OPOA, which is the Oakland Police website. I am going to release their stuff soon.
So those were really important to me.
The kid in the banner is actually a member of LulzSec, another hacker group that was responsible for hacking into multiple government websites along with that rather massive Sony PS3 security breach that happened last year. Can't wait for Morpheus to give this kid the red pill. He deserves it.

2013 Nissan Altima 2.5 SL Long-Term Update 5
Only for the body design, this is one of my favorite ones.
One of the other posters here hit the nail right on the head.
If you have to have one, just buy a certified preowned for about half the price and all the warranty. That's what I plan on doing. The thing I like about it the most is is doesn't look like every other SUV on the road. If I wanted to drive a blob with no character I'd just buy a loaded Explorer or something. None of the competition does anything to differentiate itself and I don't need things like navigation or pushbutton start.
This car looks and performs like a dated decade old car. It is not good for a companies reputation to continue to sell a vehicle that they could not be bothered to upgrade, and then sell at a premium price.
Holy crud they still make this?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
The 3.2 R-Design Platinum is the best XC90 to get considering extra power, looks, and options.
This car should be selling at a 30% discount at least!! And 0-60 mph in 9 seconds is slow. It should be doing it in at least 8 seconds!
I love Volvos... they are great Chinese cars... owned & stunted by the Chinese masters.
Weak, weak, weak. A brand new, decade old SUV with outdated engineering (which is far more of a concern to me than any back up camera) but an up to the minute window sticker? Buying a car from a company based in Communist China? 9 seconds to 60? Not happening here. I'd rather walk (in my Chinese sneakers)...
In 2006 I looked at these very hard. Went another direction but I still liked them. That was then. This is now. Wouldn't even be interested today.
They are tremendously good cars however. Franklin is correct. Get a two year old one.
Only a fool would buy this.. 47K - are they crazy.
This car really is very old.
If you must have one. Why not just save 25 grand and get a 2 year old one with factory warranty.
I think the old XC90 aged very, very well. The dash is a little dated looking, but exterior wise, I wold argue that the old Swedish CUV looks a lot better than the swoopy Infiniti and bloated RX350. For a vehicle that was largely neglected, it has held its own. Same can be said for the previous gen S80. Nice classic lines will always look good no matter what time you're in. That's why I enjoyed BMW designs in the past, they were instant classics. Now they're just... weird. Volvo is doing the same thing now... sad.
That interior is just....old. I mean really, really old. Talk about dated design, I don't know if I should be disappointed that Volvo made a boring, old SUV or amazed that Volvo may have made the first working time machine.
And once you go keyless, you can't go back.
I'm not a fan of the 3.2. The XC90 has poor brakes and they take no abuse whatsoever, same for the XC60 I know it's been an issue for a while. Our front rotors were warped at 9k. The performance at 9+ sec to 60 is poor as well. Mine also had a lot of creeks too in the interior. Volvo isn't the same company it used to be. How good can safety be if braking is below standard? Look at the tiny rotors on these SUV's Yet Volvo is still an expensive automobile. There are better choices in this segment these days.
The 3.2 needs a makeover badly
"Safety was, and still is, a major asset for the XC90, which was recently the XC90." What?
I love these things. If I were in the market for a large, relatively luxurious SUV, this would be my first choice, though the underpowered engine gives me pause. I certainly prefer its understated handsomeness to the gaudy ridiculousness of the Infiniti they compare it to.
"consider it has no back-up camera, no color display, and no intelligent key"
Say it ain't so! You should have stopped the review there. It's not possible to operate a vehicle without those essentials.
I can understand discontinuing the V8, but why put the weakest 6-cyl engine into your largest vehicle? Doesn't Volvo have two other sixes that make 300+ hp? Also, honestly, I do not understand this "requirement" for every car to have a push-button start? Is it really that hard to insert a key and turn it?
Even thought this design is 10 years old I think it aged well. Hell I think the 1st gen S60 is still one of the best looking cars on the road. I think I would rather buy a used XC90 though, you get all the looks and features for less money plus you can get them with the awesome 4.4 V8. Cant wait to see the next one.
Volvos from that era have styling that has aged very well. I still think you could take a 2001 S60, spruce up the tail lights and headlights and have a fresh looking sedan. This XC90 may still look the part, but it is being left to die on the vine. The dashboard is ancient both in design and technology, and the powertrain is uncompetitive. No one buys in this class to win stoplight races, but 9 seconds to 60 is awfully slow for a $47K luxury vehicle.
I think this is the only vehicle sold today with CD dividers in the arm rest. CD's what are those? That more that anything shows it's age.
@bluepond Volvos are not Chinese. -_-
@bluepond Wait.......Volvo is still Swedish, they are headquartered in Sweden too. They are owned by a Chinese company. They assemble their cars in Sweden, Belgium, and China.
@92Vectra1.6iBuy New Balance shoes...many of them are still Made in the USA (but you have to check the label).
Back on topic...I have to agree that an old SUV is just that...OLD. Not crazy about the China ownership either, but even if that fact was removed, still not interested in a 9 year old vehicle compared to the HUGE advances in the past 9 years. I'll stick with Jeep for quality SUVs
@ElonaReverof I don't like keyless. I have it now and it's weird. It doesn't make sense and just seems very unnecessary. I mean how difficult was it to just turn the key??
@Skywarped Yes, but replacing the engine is far more involved than just bolting it in. More important than the actual work required is the money. Aside from all the engineering and development costs, the vehicle has to be crash tested again. In the end, you're talking years and millions of dollars to put a new engine in a vehicle that doesn't sell in large numbers and is slated to be replaced soon anyway. There's not much business case in spending that kind of money on such a car.
@James4T @ElonaReverof I'll agree with Elon, keyless is convenient. No digging through my pocket to lock/unlock doors, and when my hands are full it is much easier to touch the handle of the trunk/hatch vs searching for my key fob. The keyless fob itself is much smaller than my old Key+Fob combo, making it less bulky and more comfortable in my pocket, and because the fob along with the attached mailbox and house keys are in my pocket I don't have to deal with the clinging sound as I did when they hung from the ignition.
Turning a key isn't difficult, but keyless is a good feature for me. I'm not lazy, either; my new car is a six speed manual.

Looks like that players-only meeting I predicted after last night's abortive effort happened and worked to a degree.
Yep. My systolic is probably a bit high, and my fingers have no nails left.
But SO WHAT, the Griz got out of the losing streak-vortex in which they'd been trapped.
It was by no means the Griz' best game of the season (and we'll find out why in a bit), but there were many great things about it…let's run it down briefly. -If you saw this on TV like I did, that shot of Tony Allen in a sort of waking-meditative state at the start of OT said as much about that guy as anything he's ever done in a live-ball situation, subjectively speaking of course. To say that his hustle had a huge impact on the game would be the understatement of the millenium. Working his teammates, working his opponents, and workin' the officials. His game was not perfect (pushed WAY too hard on a few offensive possessions, refusing to give up the ball to his PG when it was necessary more than once), but it was perfectly TA. His ability to handle multiple switches on D is one of the things that makes him the elite defender he is, and what made the Griz able to get those crucial stops in Q4 and OT.
-OJ Mayo. Now put away the tomatoes…but could Anthony Morrow have hit those threes? Now put down that billy club…he might have hit the threes, but he could not have made the moves with the ball that OJ was able to make. OJ is playing like a scorer looking for his "meat of the career" contract, and the Griz will be the beneficiaries of that play for the duration of the season. OJ, like the rest of the Griz, got lured into some weak-side ball-watching, but he gave it all he had. What else could you want. He did ok at his unexpected stint at PG (WOW how far could Pargo and Selby be in the back corner of the doghouse???), but once again showed that it's just not his position, which is just fine.
-Gay and Gasol. Rudy with the standard redemptive game, but I'm not fooled just yet-he'd better not lay an egg against the Hawks. Rudy with 5 assists-that's the number that matters. The other numbers look cooler on the stat sheet maybe, but making sure that no one thinks is Rudy playing 1-on-9 is what is important to the team environment, and he did that well. He made quite sure of it. He's still in his own head a bit about his ISO play, and heading into a crowd without being aware of when he's gotta elevate is what leads to his turnovers, which are high-but getting that ball in the hoop, for himself and for others, is what matters.Yes, he took 20 shots-but in ZBo's absence, that's perfectly permissible.
Marc Gasol had 20 and 13 in 50 superhuman minutes. Huh. The fact that I'll likely have Kashi waffles for breakfast in the morning is a more shocking revelation. By the way, I have Kashi waffles every single morning. Gasol is epitomizing "playing up to the new contract" like few NBA players ever have.
Honorable mention to Dante Cunningham, for maybe the best Griz high-flyer play of the season thus far-energized the building, energized the team, and helped keep the Nugs within reach.
The negatives? It's obvious that the Griz are still unsure what to do with themselves on offense without big #50 out there. When they do get open looks, they are still pressing-it's like watching a perfectly competent starting pitcher try to aim the ball over the plate. Knows how to do it just fine, just lacks confidence. The Grizzlies also got sucked into leaving the weakside too open many times, and credit for this goes largely to George Karl, who is flat-out awesome. Knows how to use his weapons and gets his guys to listen. Gotta wonder if Ty Lawson would have turned into the above-serviceable player he has under the tutelage of a lesser coach.
Must tip cap to Andre Miller-missing that AARP meeting shows his commitment to the game and the team. Kidding aside-this guy is an iron man. One of my favorites except when he's playing the Griz. Thanks for those FT's, Andre.
Wish I coulda been there tonight-that OJ three brought the roof down. My sinuses, I am getting annoyed with you.

DePaul Bats Quiet in NCAA Opener Loss to JMU
May 16, 2014
Box Score | Box Score | Postgame Quotes | Press Conference Video | Photo Gallery
LEXINGTON, Ky. – DePaul softball couldn't make an early lead stand up, dropping its NCAA opener against James Madison 6-1 on Friday at John Cropp Stadium.
With the loss, the Blue Demons drop to 41-10 overall and face a potential elimination game tomorrow at 2:30 p.m. CT against Ohio, which lost its first game 2-0 to hosting Kentucky.
Kirsten Verdun went 3-for-3 at the plate and Mary Connolly added two hits, but the pair didn't get much help from the rest of the order as the Blue Demons collected just six hits total and stranded eight runners.
JMU's Jailyn Ford improved to 24-6 in the circle, going the distance and racking up seven strikeouts. Verdun dropped to 30-6 overall, losing for the first time since March 26 and walking a career-high seven batters.
DePaul struck first, getting a leadoff double from Verdun to threaten immediately. After a pop out by Allie Braden, Connolly crushed a double down the left field line to plate Verdun and put the Blue Demons up 1-0.
Verdun allowed her first runner in the second, walking the leadoff batter after a 1-2-3 first. JMU got a double by Caitlin Sandy next, which glanced off Dylan Christensen's glove in left, to put runners on second and third with nobody out. Verdun then notched a strikeout before JMU's Cassidy Clayton singled to right to tie the ballgame. A ground out and pop out would end the Dukes' threat.
In the top of the third, Verdun worked a one-out walk and advanced to third on a two-out single by Connolly. Batting next, Christensen grounded out to first to end the inning.
A one-out third-inning walk to JMU's Hannah Hayes and subsequent steal put a runner in scoring position, which came around on a single to left by Ford.
Up two to begin the fourth, the Dukes loaded up the bases with one out and worked back-to-back walks to increase their lead to 4-1.
JMU's Taylor Newton added another run with a solo shot in the fifth and the Dukes scored again in the sixth on an RBI single by Erica Field.
Notes: DePaul drops to 33-5 when scoring the first run… DePaul has out-scored its opponents 72-17 in the first inning this season… Verdun lost for the first time since March 26 and the Blue Demons lost for just the second time since then… Verdun's seven walks were a career-high… DePaul drops to 42-36 in NCAA Tournament play… JMU now leads the all-time series 3-0…

Pete McGuinness Jazz Orchestra on the bandstand at Cachaca
May 21, 2008. Posted by Becca Pulliam.Add new comment | Filed under: Jazz Alive, Notes
Trombonist and singer Pete McGuinness teaches at New Jersey City University and arranges for the Westchester Jazz Orchestra. Recently, he has put together his own band, and my friend Emily Ginsberg -- just out of college, new in New York and looking for good music -- caught them on Monday night. Here's her report. - Becca Pulliam
Looking for a new big band to check out? Perhaps a band to book for your next party? The Pete McGuinness Jazz Orchestra might be able to fill that order. With a beautiful full sound that never diminishes, the entire orchestra goes big, from the first note to the last note. The syncopated rhythms give the orchestra a great kick and personality, and that was my favorite element of the show. Nothing sounded forced, or off.
This band can do it all, from ballads to crooning to get-up-and-dance, and they did it with style and Cachaca's great sound. I could actually hear the lyrics when Pete sang!
Big band lovers, this is a must-see for you. Music lovers, it is definitely worth your time to check these guys out. Bring a dancing partner, because you will want to shake it on the dance floor after the first note. - Emily Ginsberg
Ben Sidran & Mike Mainieri Talking Jazz
May 20, 2008. Posted by Becca Pulliam.Add new comment | Filed under: Jazz Alive
Why had I never heard Mike Mainieri up close? What a pleasure to finally do so! At Jazz Standard last night, the New York vibist joined Ben Sidran & his trio, and the music & talk were totally absorbing. In the first set, we learned that boy-Mainieri's mom went to work to buy him a set of vibes, boy-wonder-Mainieri worked with Paul Whiteman, youth-Mainieri joined legendary Buddy Rich. They spent three weeks in Kabul (JFK's State Dept sponsored this), then went on to India, where Rich split suddenly, leaving behind his drums and young band behind to finish the tour. Years later, in the US, an Indian man came up to Mainieri and said "I was living in New Delhi, and I knew you were not Buddy Rich." Ben is truly onto something, to feature his peers and those slightly ahead of him telling stories that -- up til now -- Ben has enjoyed privately. I love this format. Thank you! Come back soon!! By the way, Ben says Talking Jazz is radio, narrowcasting to the room. I hope he can extend its reach.

Well, looks like RealNetworks is making good on online music sales, with more than a million songs sold at its online music store, since it slashed its prices last week. Charging $0.49 per song, and $4.99 for most albums, RealNetworks are charging nearly half what their competitors are.
The lower prices are in part to promote usage of its new media player, RealPlayer 10.5, but also to help beat Apple, its main rival in the business.

|Interactive Data Structure
Height-Balanced Trees
Height-balancing is important when we wish to use a binary search tree to implement a keyed table. The reason it is important is that in a height-balanced tree, the ratio of the height of the tree to the number of nodes is logarithmic. Maintaining a logarithmic ratio ensures that the big-O for the insert, delete, and find operations will all be logarithmic.
Every binary tree has a height, or depth, that depends upon the height of its subtrees. Observe when interacting with the corresponding visualization in the I'll Try mode that you will be asked supply the height of each of the subtrees first. In fact, you will be prompted for the height of each node in a postorder traversal of the tree. Another important observation that you should make is that in this visualization, the nodes of the trees that you will see contain no values. The property of height-balancing depends only upon the shape of the tree, not on the contents of the nodes.
Once you understand the concept of tree height, proceed to balance factors, which depends upon your understanding of height and is necessary for understanding height-balancing. When you are asked to supply the balance factors, all the heights of each subtree is provided to assist you.
Finally, move to height-balanced trees, and balanced trees, which are a special case. You should note that full and complete trees are the most balanced and that every complete tree is a balanced tree. Every balanced tree is a height-balanced-2 tree and so on. As the n in height-balance-n increases the more unbalanced the trees are allowed to be. Notice that when you are asked to determine whether a tree is height-balanced-n or balanced, if it is not you must demonstrate this fact by clicking any node which is out of balance.

LOWVILLE Lewis County General Hospitals new emergency department physician group now is in regional insurer POMCOs network.
The group, which in January began providing physician staffing to the facilitys emergency department, until April 1 was considered out of network for those with POMCO insurance, including most school employees.
That meant emergency patients would incur higher out-of-pocket expenses for a portion of their bills.
The hospital is in the POMCO network, so this did not affect any other services at the facility, only the ER physician component, hospital spokeswoman Christina L. Flint said in a statement.
NES and POMCO are working on a possible resolution for bills paid while NES was out of network, the release states.
