A Creative Review: Thirteen
Welcome back to A Creative Review with James Cooper. Today Coop puts TV marketing on blast.
There is no doubt that outdoor media is a great place for promoting TV. People say TV is dead, but the number of greenlit pilots and renewals proves otherwise. People love watching TV, and I'm no different.
I saw a bus shelter for a show called Devious Maids the other day. It's a terrible title and the show itself doesn't look much better. I bet Devious Maids was the working title and someone kept saying it was going to change, but, for some reason only known to exalted TV execs, it stayed the same.

So, theoretically I should be in the target demo for Thirteen's campaign about stupid TV shows. The premise is simple - an ad for a fake show makes you realize how bad real TV is. As a strategy I think there is a truth in that. But I'm a believer of accentuating the positive.
I know that there are plenty of crimes against TV being wheat pasted on subways and stretched across billboards as we speak, but it's not enough for you to tell me that. In this context I want to know what you are going to do about it. What shows do you have that are better than Married to a Mime?
This campaign makes me think that Thirteen doesn't actually have any great shows tucked away. That they don't have anything that could best Devious Maids or indeed Married to a Mime. And that, as they say, is a big problem.
That's all folks! Want to get involved? Send us shots of the best [or worst] outdoor advertising you've seen, and we'll choose one every week. Just email email@example.com.

Friday, April 25, 2014
By Noel K. Gallagher firstname.lastname@example.com
Staff Writer
BRUNSWICK — Programs to combat hunger will be more visible when Maine's public schools open in a few weeks, part of a growing effort to get more food into the hands of hungry children and their families.
Portland High School assistant principal Kathie Marquis-Girard stands in the school's food pantry, which provides food items for students in need. The backpacks on the right allow the students to carry the food items without attracting undue attention.

The BackPack Program, which provides food for children for the weekend, will expand to include about 200 students attending elementary schools in midcoast.

• Whitefield Elementary School, Whitefield
Eight schools in Maine will open with food pantries on school grounds, compared to none a year ago. Another program that provides needy students and their families with food to eat on weekends and school vacations, called the BackPack Program, has also expanded, officials say.
"If we target the children, we can break that cycle of poverty and hunger," said Clara McConnell Whitney, communications manager for Good Shepherd Food-Bank.
An estimated one in four children in Maine is considered "food insecure," meaning without a regular and reliable source of food. That is the highest rate in New England and 19th highest nationwide, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The Auburn-based nonprofit Good Shepherd Food-Bank, which supplies food for pantries and anti-hunger initiatives throughout the state, used a $25,000 grant to aggressively expand the Maine food pantry program, which was started at Portland High School last December.
Last school year, Good Shepherd Food-Bank's school-based programs distributed nearly 70,000 meals to hungry children and their families. This year, the agency expects to more than double that figure to 200,000 meals to 1,250 students and their families through 39 schools.
The need for such anti-hunger programs is growing: More than 80,000 Maine children qualify for federally subsidized free or reduced-price meals at school. The school pantry and BackPack programs are aimed at filling in the gaps, to provide snacks during the day as well as food at night and on weekends at home. There is also a free meal program in the summer that operates in various locations around the state.
Katie Wallace, a parent volunteer at Portland's East End Community School, started bringing in snacks after the first day she volunteered in her then-kindergartner's class when she saw about six children who didn't have anything to eat at snack time.
"For them to sit still for 15 or 20 minutes and watch their fellow students eat, it was excruciating. I couldn't bear it," said Wallace, a restaurant server and artist who wound up coordinating donated snacks for the children.
"Shame can be more debilitating than the lack of nutrition. This totally destigmatizes it," she said.
She ran her volunteer snack program for more than two years before a grant from the Good Shepherd Food-Bank helped open a food pantry at the school to offer snacks to more students in need.
Wallace said hunger is a worse problem for younger children, who don't know how to get food if it isn't offered to them.
"One of the teachers told me that by about third grade, the students can figure out a way to get food – forage in their kitchens or find food – but kindergartners and first-graders don't get it yet. They don't know how to fend for themselves yet and they just show up empty-handed," Wallace said.
Both the BackPack and School Pantry programs are modeled after programs run in other states by Feeding America, a national network of private food banks.
Nationwide, 25 food banks operated more than 400 School Pantry Program locations that served nearly 70,000 children in 2010, the most recent year for which data were available.
"We saw that this program was successful in other parts of the country," Whitney said.
On Monday, Mid Coast Hunger Prevention Program announced it was partnering with Good Shepherd and would be expanding the Backpack Program further, providing food for about 200 students at eight elementary schools in the midcoast region.

dwelling, the Dora of the Romans, an ancient royal city of the Canaanites (Josh. 11:1, 2; 12:23). It was the most southern settlement of the Phoenicians on the coast of Syria. The original inhabitants seem never to have been expelled, although they were made tributary by David. It was one of Solomon's commissariat districts (Judg. 1:27; 1 Kings 4:11). It has been identified with Tantura (so named from the supposed resemblance of its tower to a tantur, i.e., "a horn"). This tower fell in 1895, and nothing remains but debris and foundation walls, the remains of an old Crusading fortress. It is about 8 miles north of Caesarea, "a sad and sickly hamlet of wretched huts on a naked sea-beach."

Relax, listen to a diverse selection of energetic jazz musicians, enjoy warm summer breezes and watch the sun set over the Gulf of Mexico at the 28th annual SummerJazz on the Gulf concert series at the Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club. The free concert series kicks off on Saturday, June 15.
Mike Watkins, president and owner of The Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club, said "People come to the SummerJazz event just looking to have a great time. That's the best part of hosting this event. SummerJazz is our opportunity to give back to our community."
The first concert will feature The Alan Darcy Group, whose music is an eclectic blend incorporating facets of jazz, pop, standards, and R&B. Darcy's smooth, smoky voice complements his talent with the flute and saxophone. Darcy and his band were featured in the first SummerJazz concert of 2009 and are excited to return.
"I was really amazed at the size of the audience last time we played the event back in 2009," Darcy said. "I knew it was a popular concert series, but I don't think I realized how many people would actually show up. To see more and more people keep coming in and then look out at the small ocean of lawn chairs and blankets in front of us was pretty cool!" The Alan Darcy Group's set will include original jazz pieces from Darcy's four albums as well as covers of popular songs by Frank Sinatra, Sting and Billy Joel.
Though the turn-out for this Naples tradition is often impressive, concert-goers can expect a cozy, personal, laid-back atmosphere. "Even though there is a big audience, it still has this very intimate vibe to it," Darcy said. "I think it's because of how it's set up. The back of the Naples Hotel sort of physically cradles the audience and the stage. Even though there may be over 1,000 people there, you feel like you got invited to a really cool party on the beach with all your best friends."
Kip Cline, band leader of Late Night Brass, who will perform at SummerJazz on Saturday, July 20, said "The most unique aspect of 'Summer Jazz' is the causal, down-home atmosphere. Folks are freely able to to walk right up to the band and talk to the musicians. In the last five years, we have gotten to know the staff as well as the locals." Late Night Brass is known for their signature sound of high-wattage brass horns, which can be heard in nearly every song they play. They are inspired by the bands Chicago, Earth Wind & Fire, Blood Sweat & Tears and Tower of Power. Performances often feature songs from Santana, The Temptations, Toto, The Doobie Brothers, Huey Lewis & The News, Phil Collins and many more.
The July 20 concert will mark Late Night Brass' fifth consecutive performance at SummerJazz on the Gulf. "Naples has something truly special," Cline said. "The great music, the beautiful hotel and lawn, the awesome food (it's better than at any jazz festival I've performed at) and last, but not least, the friendly staff that has gone out of their way to treat everyone who steps foot on their property like family."
Other bands in this year's lineup include The Vodkanauts, who will perform on Saturday, August 24, and The Betty Fox Band, who will perform on Saturday, September 21. All of the SummerJazz on the Gulf concerts will take place from 7 to 10 p.m. on the Watkins Lawn, which overlooks the Gulf of Mexico.
Guests are encouraged to bring towels, lawn chairs, blankets or other seating of their choice. No outside food or beverages will be allowed into the concerts. Full bar service and a food concession will be available at all concerts. Guests may also visit H. B.'s, the resort's beachfront restaurant serving fresh Florida seafood and American favorites, or the Sunset Beach Bar & Grill, offering specialty drinks. Parking will be available at Lowdermilk Park, with complimentary parking for those with a Naples beach sticker. Concert-goers will be able to take a free trolley to the venue and back and hotel guests will receive complimentary parking at the resort.

Could it be? Brady just restructured his contact and freed up an additional 7 mil.
I know it's unlikely because of their other signings but you never know... It is the Pats*
Could it be? Brady just restructured his contact and freed up an additional 7 mil.

This was my thought exactly. Why else do it? They are not strapped for cap space. Who else is out there they might want to sign?
Wallace isn't going anywhere.
I don't think so, the Cheators like to stockpile picks (they actually suck at drafting so this is a better option for them)
ours is not to wonder why just invert and multiply...
Playing Fantasy Football does not qualify you to be the in the front office or on the coaching staff of the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are professionals and you are not!
2014 Draft
1. Eric Ebron, TE
2. Calvin Pryor, S
3 (Comp). Jaylen Watkins, CB
4. Justin Ellis, DT/NT
5a. Brandon Coleman, WR
5b. Brent Urban, DE
6. Prince Shembo, OLB
7a. Aaron Colvin, CB
7b. Storm Johnson, RB
please let this happen
They franchised Welker, signed Brandon Lloyd, and today, brought back Deion Branch as well (not to mention those 2 TE's that never leave the field and catch a ton of passes).
I think if they were going to go after an RFA, they might consider Lardarius Webb from the Ravens, since New England's secondary sucks.
Or maybe, since the Law Firm signed with Cincy, perhaps they want to trade for a RB...after Carolina signed Mike Tolbert, they are unlikely to keep both DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart...one of them should be traded before the draft (and NE certainly has plenty of picks as ammo).
Or maybe, after losing pass-rushing specialist Mark Anderson to free agency, perhaps they want to make a big splash for a pass-rusher...Dwight Freeney makes a ton of money in Indy (which is going through a youth movement), and he may not fit well in Pagano's conversion from a 4-3 to a 3-4. Freeney may be on the block and a potential target.
Just because New England is freeing up cap room doesn't automatically mean that they will be making a run at Wallace (since they have plenty of passing targets for Brady already but are weak in numerous other spots that I just mentioned).
1.15 WR Mike Evans, Texas A&M
2.46 TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Washington
3.97c CB Philip Gaines, Rice
4.118 ILB Shayne Skov, Stanford
5.157 OT James Hurst, North Carolina
5.173c RB Jerrick McKinnon, Georgia Southern
6.192 CB Walt Aikens, Liberty
6.215c DE Deandre Coleman, California
7.230 NT Zack Kerr, Delaware
I agree with Ruthless. New England is not going after Wallace. I think Denver and Cincinnati are the only real possibilities at this point. Both are unlikely, but I believe both will weigh the option in the next week or two. Cincinnati could be waiting until Wallace has no other suitors. That is usually their M.O. They like to wait out the market and then see if they can get a relative bargain. After no one jumps at Wallace's demand for Fitz-like money, maybe Cincy will call his agent to see if the price has come down to DeSean Jackson type money. If so, they MAY consider it. It would certainly weaken a division foe. And they have PLENTY of cap space.

4 Ross Cockrell CB Duke
5 Jordan Zumwalt ILB UCLA
5c Anton Exum S Va Tech

I think I will laugh if NOBODY goes after Wallace. Not because I really thought anyone would, but just because of all the talk of it.

Children with Sickle Cell Disease had Significantly Higher Medical Costs Than Those Without SCD
Medical costs of children with SCD were $9,369 and $13,469 higher than those of children without SCD enrolled in Medicaid and private insurance, respectively. Total pediatric medical costs from SCD in the United States were estimated to be at least $335 million per year.
Annual per capita medical expenditures for children with SCD
Pediatric Medicaid enrollees with SCD incur lower medical expenditures than those in private insurance ($11,075 vs. $14,722). For children without SCD, annual mean total expenditures were significantly higher for those enrolled in Medicaid than for those enrolled in private insurance ($1,706 vs. $1,293, respectively). The difference between the expenditures of children with SCD and those without is a rough proxy of the attributable cost of the disease. Thus, children with SCD enrolled Medicaid and private insurance incur expenditures that are $9,369 and $13,469 higher than those of children without SCD. The ratios of total mean expenditures were 6 and 11 for Medicaid and private insurance, respectively. Analysis by type of care suggest that the largest ratios for both Medicaid and private insurance were for inpatient care (i.e., 17 and 34, respectively), while the lowest ratios were for prescription drugs (i.e., 3 and 2, respectively).
Estimated National Medical Expenditures attributable to SCD
A combination of data was relied upon to estimate the national SCD-attributable pediatric medical expenditures. In 2005, there were an estimated 28,426 black children with SCD in the U.S.. Adjusting by 10% to account for nonblack children with SCD yielded an estimated number of 31,269 children with SCD. Assuming that two thirds of children with SCD were enrolled in Medicaid, the SCD-attributable expenditures per child estimate were $10,706. Therefore, total medical expenditures for children with SCD were approximately $335 million in 2005.

text: 2004 Grain Harvest Unlikely to Meet World Needs Falling water tables and higher temperatures will make it difficult for farmers to close the gap in the world grain needs. Compiled by staff Published on: May 6, 2004 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print Economists are predicting record levels for harvest this year, but it won't be enough to close the gap in world grain shortfalls with 6.4 billion people and more than 1 billion livestock to feed. Lester Brown, president of the Earth Policy Institute, says the four harvest shortfalls have dropped world carryover stocks of grain to the lowest level in 30 years, amounting to only 59 days of consumption. Wheat and corn prices are at 7-year highs. Rice prices are at 5-year highs. "In addition to the usual uncertainties farmers face, they must now contend with two newer trends—falling water tables and rising temperatures," Brown says. Maintaining the current precarious balance between production and consumption will require this year's grain harvest to grow by 120 million tons. "But modestly boosting food security will require a total gain of 150 million tons." Brown explains, "Unfortunately, the chances of increasing it by even 120 million tons appear to be less than one in ten." Combining the estimated increases of 35 million tons for wheat, 12 million tons for rice, 10 million tons for corn, and 3 million tons for other grains gives an increase of 60 million tons over last year's harvest. "This is an improvement, but it would still be 60 million tons short of what we need to close the gap," he says. "And if we include the goal of modestly rebuilding stocks, we will be short by 90 million tons." Brown says the risk is that a year from now, lower grain stocks and soaring food prices could destabilize governments in low-income grain-importing countries on a scale that would disrupt global economic progress. "If this lowers the Nikkei stock index, the Dow Jones 500, and other key indicators, we may realize that our economic future depends on a worldwide effort to stabilize population, raise water productivity, and stabilize climate—and at wartime speed."

Despite the absence of marquee names like Keith Richards and Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings - both of whom have graced its stages in years past - and budget cuts that have slimmed the event down from four days to three, the Chicago Blues Festival (June 11-13 in Grant Park) is still the largest of its kind in the world. And it's still absolutely free.
It's worth noting that the city did splurge on an iPhone app this year, which features a fun "encore flame" to hoist in the air when all the returning-to-their-roots Chicago bluesmen finish up their sets. The roster again runs deep with talent this year, with a tribute to the legendary Chester "Howlin' Wolf" Burnett the thread that ties it all together (he would've turned 100 this weekend). So charge up your phone and head down to these highlighted performances, especially the homegrown ones.
Check out the full schedule.

5116 Georgia Highway 85, Forest Park, GA | Directions 3029733.614636 -84.402806
A bit pricey, but EXCELLENT food and service! – Initially the location is hard to find when coming off the interstate, however once you get there, you might possibly think that this is some dive diner. Not in the least! It was very clean, it even had an antibacterial dispenser RIGHT AT THE TABLE for use. But, was more impressive then the cleanliness was the food and the service. Mr. Adriane was a bit nervous as he took our orders, however when he started to feel his wings, he was a very personable young man and definitely gave us the down south hospitable service. Then came the food, this was past immeasurable, it was insurmountable! The jerk chicken stated that it was firey hot and they weren't lying, but was so tasty that the spice didn't matter. The greens were almost as warm (a warning to those with children who loves greens, this is for mature audiences only) but also had a great taste. My mother had the catfish. These are not little cuddle fish pieces either, they are not stengy when it comes to the portion sizes. This had a little cajun kick to it also and I do believe that my mother both stated that the experience was something worth duplicating. My only bad critism was the fact that there were two owners there and only one was slightly helping the ONE server in the whole establishment. Understandably, this is a fairly new place so they may not have much help, HOWEVER, only one of the owners sometimes set people with menus but mostly informed them that she was the owner and not doing much to assist Mr. Adriane with drink or food orders, checking on the kitchen for the staus of food orders or picking up dirty plates. She only did these when the customer ASKED her for this to be done. As for the second non-working owner, she stood next to the cash register to check out customers while watching tv until the other owner had to inform her that I had been patiently waiting their for a few minutes only two feet away. I also ordered catfish to go for my father with greens and instead of the cook placing the greens in its seperate container, it was put in the same dish which of course when tilted, the juices will overflow into the remainder of the platter which moistened the fish. My father nor I was the happiest about this, but it is a learning experience all the same. This is something I would DEFINITELY recommend to others. Suggestion to the owners of the company though to be taken more seriously by your customers and staff, teamwork is always valuable and appreciated and the mohawk as large as it was, is NOT professional!

Real Sociedad vs Osasuna Preview
Real Sociedad midfielder Asier Illarramendi wants his side to continue their recent run of good results and beat second-bottom Osasuna at the Anoeta on Friday night.
Philippe Montanier's side were 2-1 victors over Malaga a fortnight ago and followed that up with a 4-0 demolition of Rayo Vallecano on Monday.
A win over Osasuna will see them rise to sixth, and Illarramendi has demanded concentration and that his team-mates don't listen to the hype around their recent showings.
"We can't go crazy with all the praise because in the last two games the team has played well. We had quite a bad run, but the last two wins have put us ninth. Now have a chance this Friday and we will hopefully win," said Illarramendi.
"We are doing well in the league and we must continue that streak. At home we are strong and we have to continue like this.
"Rayo came to play and is a team that gets a lot of goals, but Osasuna will play further back. We will have opportunities and I think that we'll get some goals."
Visiting coach Jose Luis Mendilibar says his side will be going all out for the win, knowing three points will see them climb out of the relegation zone.
"The important thing is to play the way we want," he told reporters. "Playing well we will have more chances to win.
"We're going out to win. We're not going to draw, but sometimes a point after the game is good."
It is an attitude replicated by midfielder Raoul Loe.
"Three points for the team could see us come out of the relegation places," he said.
"The team has more confidence than before, now everything seems easier.
"It is important to win and move onto 12 points."

St. Paul >Food & Dining > Patrick Mc Governs Pub
225 Seventh St W, St Paul, MN | Directions 5510244.943349 -93.104469
Neighborhoods: West Seventh
Tasty food and great location – McGoverns is the best place to go downtown around the xcel center to get a drink and some tasty bar food. The place is huge so even when it's crazy busy you can usually find a seat. Some of the staff is better than the others but that goes for anywhere and I like the atmosphere at this place.
Great Staff, Great Food, Great Place!! – I hosted a private party at McGovern's and could not have been more pleased!!
The staff was always friendly and prompt to answer any questions or address any concerns that I had.
I wanted the party on the patio but the day of the party it rained so we moved it to the upstairs... It was a great space! TV's for the guys to watch the game, very spacious and very private! There were also darts and other games that my guests enjoyed while taking advantage of the full bar!
I read through some of the other reviews and was sad to see some that were not so great, but then I looked at the dates on them and thought, if that is how McGovern's used to be... they have done a complete 180 because I have no complaints from the staff to the food or the space we used.
As far as private parties usually go, I had a pretty small budget so with McGoverns great prices it was easy to stay within the budget I set.
I do not visit McGoverns weekly or even monthly but the times that I have been there (a handful of times in the past year) I have had a great time.
I laugh at the bartender comments... if you dont like someone or have an opinion about them or what they do, that is fine... but to put it on the web like that is just childish - in my opinion. :-)
good food, nasty bartender1 – They need to get rid of that old bartender with tattoos that screws almost every chick that comes in!!! He's dirty!
%%%%%%%% – WORST PLACE EVER!!!! THEY ACTUALLY EMPLOYEE A GUY (WORTHLESS PIECE OF S**** WHO HITS GIRLS!!!) HE IS BALD, HAS a sleeve of tattoos, well actually half sleeve because he is a pussy, o and cant forget the thirty year old fagot who is nasty and hits on everyone !!!!!!
I highly recommend! – Whether I go to McGovern's on a night where there is a event at the Excel or a night with no event, I have always recieved awesome service from both the servers and bartenders. Great variety of food on the menu as well, I have yet to order something I did not like. Beer selection is good and also there are some fun drinks to be ordered too! For everyone that has complained about it being busy there which results in 'bad' service-McGovern's must be doing something right if they pull in the crowds time and time again. I'll gladly take slower service when it's packed.It is to be expected. I've never had an empty glass, even if it's crowded. Keep up the great work!
1 star isn't low enough for this type of service – My friends and I attended this bar on st. patrick's day and had a horrible experience. We were kicked out of the bar for no valid reason. We were sitting in our booth minding our own business and the bouncers kept telling us that we had to move because we were in there way. They kept telling us this because a girl that assaulted my friend earlier in the night was also there and she had them do this to us. I understand that they can refuse service to anyone, but this type of behavior is very unprofessional. These types of establishments do not deserve to be in business and I urge everyone to get their drinks elsewhere. DO NOT GIVE THIS BAR YOUR BUSINESS
good food – Food here was good. Service was great. Nice bartenders. Not such a big fan of the layout, It can be hard to get around when it is busy...
Service is terrible 99% of the time! Hire a professional staff! – McGovern's service is terrible 99% of the time. If you want good bar food they do have it. I probably eat there once a week and have been a customer for years, my excuse for the repeat business is that I only live a block away and it is a good place to catch a game. Summers on the patio are good when you can get a seat, but the service is even worse out there.
It is understandable that when you are busy it is going to be slow especially when there is an event at the Xcel, but when it slows down the servers seem to get complacent, and have absolutely no sense of urgency. I guess they can afford to have bad service because they have a very good location, they could make alot more money if they had a professional staff though.
Ick! – I would have given this a 1/2 star had one been available but since one is the lowest, here it is. The name McGovern's implies "Irish" but there is nothing Irish about the menu which includes Gyros and wrap sandwiches. Despite this, I was still hoping for some semblance of authenticity. I ordered the Fish and Chips. Oh my goodness, I have never had to use the vinegar and tarter sauce to COVER the flavor of the pre-breaded fish. It had a hard, unpleasent texture that no amount of condiments could disquise. We asked the server why a chef would think it was ok to put his name on pre-made frozen fish fillets and she answered "It isn't up to the chef, it is the owner's decesion." To the chef at Patrick McGovern's: Run!
There is a a brigtside, we went in the middle of the afternoon and found the service to be friendly and prompt (although one buser was on his cell phone). However, if its a good meal you crave, avoid McGovern's
They would rather have your $10 than make you happy :( – I guess it's true about the three most important things in business "Location, location, location", for this place seems to have nothing else to offer. I suppose once they got the spot so close to the Excel Center, they figured "that should be enough, who cares about the food". If you just want to get drunk, I guess you might not care; but if you are looking to dine, go to Arby's.

A Valley Cottage man is being held in the Rockland county jail on $20,000 bail in connection with an apparent break-in attempt and two other incidents at homes nearby in Valley Cottage, according to Clarkstown police.
Michael Welch, 35, was arrested Saturday after a rash of incidents that began about 6 p.m. Welch is charged with second-degree attempted burglary, third-degree criminal mischief, third-degree trespassing and trespassing.
Police said they received a report from a homeowner about a suspicious person running through a back yard on Fulle Drive. Just prior to seeing that person, the homeowner said he heard loud, banging noises coming from his neighbor's home.
An investigation found damage at the neighbor's home. A glass door leading from a deck to the kitchen was shattered and a basement screen door had been damaged.
A few minutes later, a homeowner on Melanie Lane reported hearing someone on his deck. Police said the homeowner spotted a man walking off the deck, with that person matching the description of a man seen during the earlier incident.
At about 7 p.m., police said they received another call about a suspicious man, this time on Branchville Road, with the description of that man being similar to the earlier incidents. Police said they found Welch in the area and he was identified by witnesses.
Welch was arraigned in Clarkstown Town Court in New City and was ordered held in the Rockland County Correctional Facility in New City pending a hearing on Wednesday.

Subscribers to Microsoft's professional services -- TechNet and the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) -- can begin downloading Windows 7 release to manufacturing (RTM) editions starting today.
The products can be downloaded via the TechNet or MSDN Web portals (subscription and Windows Live ID required). The downloads are English-language versions of the OSes. Microsoft plans to make Windows 7 RTM available in other languages on Oct. 1.
Expect downloads as large as nearly 3GB on the client side, which is the size of the Windows 7 Enterprise edition (x64). The OS can be installed and run for up to 30 days without a product key. For those looking for Windows 7 support resources, Microsoft's Springboard Web portal is the place to find them.
The RTM represents the finished Windows 7 product. PC manufacturers previously got access to the bits about two weeks ago and are in the process of loading images of the new OS onto new machines.
For those who aren't an OEM or subscriber, Microsoft has a few other Windows 7 RTM release dates to remember.
Tomorrow (Aug. 7) is the date that Microsoft's Volume License customers with the Software Assurance option will be able to get the English-language version of Windows 7 RTM. Microsoft says that other language versions will be available "within a couple of weeks" (around Aug. 21). The product can be downloaded from the Volume License Service Center here (requires license and Windows Live ID). Software Assurance ensures that licensees can jump to the next software upgrade if it occurs within a three-year contract span.
For those who are Microsoft Volume License customers without Software Assurance, the Windows 7 RTM product will be available for purchase on Sept. 1.
The next date of note is Aug. 16, which is when members of Microsoft's Partner Program will be able to download the English-language version of Windows 7 RTM. Partners who want it in other languages have to wait until Oct. 1. Partners will be able to get the new OS via the Microsoft Partner Network Web site here.
Aug. 23 will be the day to remember for Microsoft Action Pack subscribers; that's when the English-language version of Windows 7 RTM will be available to them. Other language versions of the OS will be available on Oct. 1. The Action Pack is a collection of Microsoft software for those who want to run test implementations. You have to be a Microsoft partner to subscribe and get the Action Pack.
Finally, Windows 7 for everyone else is scheduled to be publicly available on Oct. 22. That's when people will start to see new PCs with Windows 7 in retail stores.
Microsoft has announced that it plans to open its own retail stores this fall in time for the Windows 7 general release date of Oct. 22. The first stores will be in Scottsdale, Ariz. and Mission Viejo, Calif. The Mission Viejo store will be near an Apple store in the same shopping mall.
Windows Server 2008 R2 RTM will be on a slightly later release schedule than Windows 7.
Microsoft's Windows Server blog explains that "Developers with MSDN Subscriptions will be able to download Windows Server 2008 R2 RTM in English, French, German, Japanese, Italian, and Spanish on August 14th and all remaining languages starting August 21st." The same dates apply for Microsoft TechNet subscribers, as well as Microsoft's ISV and OEM partners.
Those Microsoft Volume License customers with Software Assurance will be able to download Windows Server 2008 R2 RTM on Aug. 19. Volume License customers lacking Software Assurance must wait until Sept. 1 to get the server.
General availability of Windows Server 2008 R2 is scheduled for Sept. 14. Enthusiasts can get a 180-day trial version of the server on Aug. 20 here.

Downloaded Windows 7 Enterprise Edition RTM.going to try install later..
I'm a Technet subscriber, and tried to download RTM for Win7 on the morning of August 6, but it wasn't available until after 7:00 p.m. (Pacific Standard Time). And the only versions available for download were Win7 Home Premium and Win7 Professional. The Download buttons for Business and Enterprise editions were greyed out. Yes, I think I could have downloaded Home Basic and Starter editions, but I didn't even bother. But I did get the ISO for Win 7 Professional and will spend the weekend re-building my Win 7 Release Candidate test box with the RTM to see what the final product will look like.
To Mr. Bitter sweet, Let it be a lesson learned that you should wait till SP1 if your clients are "mission critical" This is a rule of thumb many of us learned w/ prior releases. Just FYI for you =)
Call me bitter but after being "had" when I purchased a few computers immediately after the initial release of Vista, I feel that Microsoft OWES me three free copies of 7 for three purchased POS's (originally) of Vista. Sure it's fine now, but it sure as hell wasn't back then. Pony up MS. It's not like you couldn't stand to appear to have a soul.
Yes, 3GB. Read the chart wrong. Thanks again.
No, 3GB, not 3MB.
Thanks for the comment about Windows Server 2008 R2. I've corrected the story. Yes, 3 MB.
3MB? Really?
"tend to ship at the same time" implies that this has happened in the past, which hasn't been true for a decade. It's also not true today, as Windows Server 2008 R2 is _not_ available for download.

This time of year we usually get many requests for books about fall favorites like apples. Are you ready for fall? We sure are!
Check out our collection of books about apples and pair one with the rhyme below.
Apple Song (to the tune of B-I-N-G-O)There is a fruitthat's good to eatand apple is it's name-oh!A-P-P-L-EA-P-P-L-EA-P-P-L-EAnd apple is it's name-oh!
And why not try one of these apple activities while you're at it?
- Read about Apples: Visit the library and check out some books or a puzzle about apples.
- Pick Apples: Find a "pick-your-own" apple farm and spend a few hours picking and counting apples. Talk about the different colors of the apples, the sounds in the orchard and about what you may do with all the apples you are picking!
- Sort Apples: When you take your apples home put them all out on the table and sort them into piles by color, by size, etc. Count how many of each type you have.
- Make an Apple Print: Cut an apple in half and dip the exposed side in craft paint. Make prints on craft paper and let dry. When the paint is dry you can color in seeds or a stem or even a friendly green worm!
- Cook Applesauce: Take 4 peeled, cored and chopped apples and add 3/4 cup water, 1/4 cup sugar or honey and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Simmer on the stove until soft and mushy.
Last, but not least, sing along with Raffi.

Feeding the hungry
On Monday, February 1, the students in the school participated in a lunch drive to make lunches for the less fortunate in the community. Our principal received the folllowing letter from the parish representative of the Franciscan Peacemakers outreach program.
Welcome to the Menomonee Falls Band Bunch Blog!
Welcome to the Menomonee Falls Band Bunch Blog!
The Band Bunch was established in 2005 by a group of parents who were interested in assisting the band directors with promoting the music education of students in the Menomonee Falls public schools. The Band Bunch assists with organizing volunteers, raising funds for scholarships and guest instructors and coordinating events such as Jazz and Java.
Record number of programs in 2009
It's no wonder we haven't been able to make it back to the Menomonee Falls Now Blog since November. 2009 was a banner year for Channel 14 in
Because of the nature of community access and the number of shows last year, Falls Cable Access has contracted with the
Perhaps It Is My Attitude
I started writing this blog just before the superbowl halftime. Maybe it's because it is mid-winter and I was having a down day. I was penning notes on a lackluster game and yawning.
I had been unimpressed with some of the commercials as well, perhaps because so many had been released on internet beore the game
A Press Release
Today I received a copy of a press release to the media from a local political candidate.
I might normally respond to that, but I, out of sheer frustration, will not.
Clerk's Office Apparently Illegally Certifies Candidate's Papers for February 16th Primary Election
Apparent Illegal Certification of 3rd Candidate's Election Papers by Clerk's Office for February 16th Primary Election
In a totally uncovered story by the 4 local newspapers, who have all been made aware of a major mistake by the Clerk's Office involving a candidate missing the filing deadline for placement of their name on the February 16th Primary ballot, it appears the Village Clerk's Office illegally certified the election filing papers of Scott Krause who is or was, depending on what day it is, the 3rd candidate for Village Trustee Seat 4 currently held by 20-year incumbent Mike McDonald.

- Informational Meeting - February 23 at 7:00 PM in Room 102B of the Community Center
- Team contracts are due no later than Wednesday, March 17
Election Notes
To the surprise of no one, the State has now ruled that the Falls Primary will go on as scheduled.
For any remaining followers of the person pictured below me, remember that this whole election mess is a result of election changes created by Da Slinks (CS & JD), when they messed with well-respected rules and championed a new system that has cost not only dollars, but has caused worthy citizens to refrain for running for office.
The Mail's Here!
I was thinking of mailboxes on the drive home last night.
I was returning from Ascension Lutheran Church in Waukesha where I spent a delightful evening with a confirmation group there (thanks Christopher, for the warm invitation!). The confirmation students and their parents learned about "Life in Tanzania" through vivid photos and captivating stories direct from the villages on Mt. Meru and Mt. Kilimanjaro where we do our work through Hearts in Unity.
Krause Response
Scott Krause has replied to questions regarding his position on Ted Klumb's blog below.
Whether or not you care to vote for him, it's worth taking time to read it.
Music at its BEST on February 18th
On Thursday, February 18th the Menomonee Falls High School Band program will present concerts by the Concert Band, Symphonic Band and Wind Symphony. The concert will be held in the high school auditorium beginning at 7:30 pm and is open to the community.
The Concert Band, under the direction of Mr. Zens will be performing music by Ralph Vaughan, Hugh M. Stuart, Anne McGinty and Elliott Del Borgo. These selections have a greater difficulty level than what this band has traditionally performed and their effort will be seen in the performance.
A Note to Jefferson Davis and maryr
In Ted Klumb's blog there has been some talk of your claim of local corruption. You have stated that the unfortunate hotel deloper was "shaken down" for money. That is clearly illegal - a felony - and can be prosecuted. Why have you or the developer not taken this to the district attorney? Is it because there is no truth to the accusation?
There was no corruption in government befor you took office. One could not even buy lunch for the Village Board President when Mr. Greco was in power. He wouldn't allow even that.
Life's Lessons
One of our great middle school teachers accompanied fifteen 7th graders from her Religion class to serve the poor at the St. Vincent de Paul meal program site.

An Election Gone Horribly Wrong
I yield the blog today to the words of Kitty Werthmann, a lady in her late eighties. I first heard this story on the radio while awaiting election returns Tuesday evening. This is quite lengthy - nearly as long as those from another blogger on this site. I learned quite a lot from her historical recollection. Here are her words directly quoted:
Sights on a Cow
There is a very special group of students at Kennedy Middle School who have their sights on a cow. And they have embarked on their own unique journey to help make a difference in the lives of orphan and other at-risk children on the other side of the world in Tanzania. Africa.
What set these students on this path?
"Pops" Concert and Tazino's Fundraising Night
It is always one of the most anticipated concerts of the school year.
Yes, the annual "Pops" Concert at North Middle School will be held on Wednesday, February 24th at 7:30pm. This years "Pops" Concert will feature the North Jazz ensembles under the direction of Mrs. Holst and Mrs. Schickert, the 8th grade Band under the direction of Mr. Fox and the 9th grade Band under the direction of Mr. Woger. The "pops" Concert has traditionally featured music from many diferent music genres including Jazz, movie scores, marches, rock anthems and musicals. The concert this year will be a great opportunity for the 8th grade band students to get a chance to see what awaits them at the High School as they listen to the 9th grade band conducted by Mr. Woger.

Is it any surprise that Richard Sherman graduated from Stanford with a degree in communications?
Of the survivors in the NFL playoffs, there's no more watchable communicator than Sherman, the trash-talking, playmaking cornerback for the Seattle Seahawks whose constant, boisterous button-pushing on the field belies his friendly, easygoing attitude off it.
"You have to be that way," Sherman said this week in a phone interview. "I'm not rude or anything off the field, but on the field I'm a dog."
And there's bite to go with his bark. The 6-foot-3 Sherman was tied for second in the NFL this season with eight interceptions and is a cornerstone of Seattle's defense, which will face the Falcons in Atlanta on Sunday in a divisional playoff game.
By Sherman's thinking, the Seahawks' secondary — which also includes cornerback Brandon Browner and safeties Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor — is the best in the league.
"The guys from Chicago, San Francisco and Atlanta are really good," he said. "But the things that we're able to do as a whole secondary aren't matched."
Sherman rankled the Washington Redskins in a first-round game Sunday, talking smack not just to receivers but to Redskins Coach Mike Shanahan and his son, offensive coordinator Kyle. By Sherman's count, the Redskins threw in his direction just three times in their 24-14 loss, even though he turned to the Washington sideline and challenged the Shanahans to test him more.
"That's what you have to do in this game, at least the way I play it," said Sherman, a fifth-round pick in 2011. "I'm out there competing, trying to get them to throw my way. I'm trying to get them to attack me, because I feel like I'll stand up every time they attack me. That's what I'm doing, trying to get the quarterbacks and the receivers frustrated."
On the rare occasions passes did come his way, Sherman would turn to the Redskins coaches, and "I'd twirl my finger around my ear like 'Man, you're crazy.' They were just kind of blankly staring at me."
So rattled were the Redskins, that tackle Trent Williams punched the miked-up Sherman in the face after the game, later telling reporters he felt bad about losing his cool.
"Just high emotions, man, and you know, I let them get the best of me," Williams said. "It's nobody's fault but mine."
For Sherman, it was mission accomplished. His on-field shtick is all about getting into opponents' heads and taking them out of their game.
Sherman embodies Seattle's aggressive style of defense, which, after surrendering 14 points to the Redskins in the first quarter, settled in and held them scoreless for the rest of the game. After notching nine first downs in the opening quarter, the Redskins totaled just six the rest of the way.
The strategy will be the same against the Falcons, the league's sixth-ranked passing offense this season, led by quarterback Matt Ryan, receivers Julio Jones and Roddy White, and future Hall of Fame tight end Tony Gonzalez.
Messing with the minds of the disciplined Falcons won't be easy. They were penalized a league-low 55 times this season, 17 fewer than the second-place New York Giants. The St. Louis Rams drew the most flags with 130.
Sherman made headlines this season when he and fellow cornerback Browner were each slapped with four-game suspensions after testing positive for Adderall, considered a performance-enhancing drug. Whereas Browner served his suspension, Sherman appealed his and won, arguing that his urine sample was contaminated when being collected for testing.
Sherman concedes that, in the eyes of some, a cloud of suspicion will follow him for the rest of his career. He said he's not worried about that. He also knows that his trash-talk tactics make him unpopular with fans of other teams. He can live with that too.
But there's another side to him. It's not uncommon, for instance, for Sherman to buy to-go dinners at a restaurant, then distribute them to the homeless. Through a Seattle charity last month, he "adopted" an impoverished local family, paying for their Christmas dinner and buying all the presents under their tree.
"There's definitely more to Richard Sherman than what appears to the naked eye," said former Stanford teammate Michael Thomas, now a safety on San Francisco's practice squad. "He's a very caring dude. He's the guy who wants to help anyone, especially kids."
A former standout receiver at Dominguez High in Compton, Sherman started his college career at that position and was a freshman All-American. His career was interrupted by a knee injury, after which he switched to cornerback, where Stanford played him for his final two seasons.
In transitioning from receiver to corner, Sherman made more than his share of mistakes — Thomas referred to some of his early coverage blunders as "comical" — but his belief in himself didn't waver.
"Richard didn't lack for confidence, and he didn't lack for work ethic," said Derek Mason, Stanford's defensive coordinator. "You mix that with a high football IQ, and an ability to play the game, and he quickly became a pretty good corner.
"He wants to be the best at what he does. And he's going to work tirelessly at it."
Sherman doesn't stop, nor does he stop talking.
"It's just his game," said Cleveland Browns safety Johnson Bademosi, a teammate of Sherman's at Stanford. "I guess it might rub some people the wrong way, but he's an entertainer. There's no malice, but if you come at him, you'd better be ready because he's going to come back at you."
