As a vulnerability researcher, I've noticed a pattern in my conversations and interviews with leaders and entrepreneurs. Within a very short period of time, our discussions become deeply personal and there's an evolution that moves from This is how I lead to This is who I am to These are the people I love.
We often start by discussing issues like transparency in high-performance cultures, but invariably we land on issues like authenticity and values in leadership. These topics give way to deeper explorations of what it means to let ourselves be seen and to cultivate meaningful connection with the people in our lives – especially our families.

LG Tries Android Smartphone in European Market
The previously Windows-dedicated Korean company has ventured this fall into its first Android smartphone for the European market.
As part of their "aggressive strategy" LG is following up its newest released Windows phones with an Android version, to "underscore LG's commitment to offering greater consumer choice in the expanding smartphone category." The LG-GW620 phone comes with a 3" touchscreen, a slide-out KWERTY keypad and 5-megapixel camera so that it can be used for more than making phone calls. The company decided on Google's Linux operating system because of the many mobile services and applications it supports.
The device should appear on the European market in the fourth quarter of 2009. The company of about 56,000 isn't mentioning price, nor are they issuing a data sheet as yet. The question remains whether the phone will actually ship in the "select" European market with the U.S.-oriented QUERTY keypad, as the LG press release indicates.
A sense is that the "Life is Good" company, founded in 1958, might have some misgivings about its Android phone. Their press release for the Android phone is infused with frequent mention of their newest Windows devices, emphasizing, for example, 13 new Windows smartphones in the next 16 months.
Kwerty?Kwerty? Is that because the Google OS is using Qt?

Wake to the gentle sounds of nature. Discover the secluded pristine waterfalls. Breathe in the freshest of air. Refresh yourself in the pool or just laze on the sundeck and let the days drift by. Located on the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica, this multi award winning resort is renowned globally as a "unique" haven set in an ecological miracle providing quality accommodations, exquisite natural beauty, local gourmet delights and an exciting array of adventures. The unique Lapa Rios Ecolodge shares their vision "to demonstrate that a standing rain forest is more valuable than one cut down." It is the ultimate destination to capture the mood of the tropics.
The developers Karen and John Lewis, two former peace corps volunteers, in 1990 decided to forgo their careers and pursue their passion in preserving and creating a reserve with over 1,000 acres of mostly primary rainforest, with enormous biodiversity value, in a remote area of Costa Rica. Initially planning to build a rustic lodge, their research showed a far stronger demand for an upscale wilderness resort.
They started their venture in 1993, and helped support and maintain the last remaining lowland tropical rainforest and provide sustainable economic activity to the local community. The management and the staff continue to strive to make a difference by educating and raising the awareness & consciousness among locals and guests. They believe that "acres of land are not needed nearly as much right now as acres of attitude." To ensure their labor of love continues,click here to read more about their Mission, Values, Purpose and Strengths.
Unwind, relax, and enjoy this exotic and peaceful Costa Rican paradise overlooking the Pacific Ocean. 16 large private open air bungalows offer their own patio and garden. Each room has 2 queen size beds lined by mosquito nets, an indoor solar- and gas-heated shower, a private garden shower, 2 sinks, large closets, and a large deck that surveys the rainforest canopy.
The main lodge which houses the restaurant and bar features local produce and serves international cuisine with a hint of tropical flavor. A full service bar mixes favorite beverages from fresh juices, wines and spirits. You are sure to find breathtaking ocean vistas from the rooftop observatory 50 feet above the restaurant. Simple comforts like electricity and laundry service are available.
Lapa Rios offers a wilderness adventure few have ever experienced. Become one with nature. Take a guided hike in the Gulfo Dulce Forest Reserve, which is home to over 300 species of birds, and a variety of wildlife including the rare scarlet macaw.
Try sea kayaking, horseback riding in the jungle, visiting the botanical gardens, deep-sea catch-and-release fishing, taking guided coastal excursions on the shore, strolling along deserted unspoiled sandy beaches or just scheduling a private massage session and give those achy bones a rest while your mind interprets different wildlife calls. There are plenty of activities to do in Lapa Rios, more than you ever imagined.
Lapa Rios recognizes the importance of and is committed to conservation and maintenance of local cultural heritage and natural wealth of the region for the present generation as well as the generations to come. Throughout its organization, Lapa Rios helps co-ordinate, assist, educate and stimulate culturally and environmentally sensitive tourists as well as locals. You can contribute by staying at the lodge which in turn helps fund projects, generate income, and create jobs for the locals. Some of the environmental strategies and sustainable methods implemented by Lapa Rios are as follows:
Click here to read more about their Success Stories, Goals and Actions.
Lapa Rios is continuing to support and sponsor the establishment of the local Carbonera School. Located in one of the most primitive parts of the Osa Peninsula in Southwestern Costa Rica, even basic amenities like drinking water, electricity, sewage system etc. are not available. Due to its rugged mountainous terrain, interaction within the community is minimal. However, all the families in the area had a common goal of educating their children. In 1993 the school was opened and now has a little over 20 students. New children have been enrolling every year, and most of the days the school has 100% attendance indicating the desire and need for education. To help support and learn more about the school, click on The Carbonera School.
Lapa Rios offers an assortment of nature tours which are sure to become a highlight of your vacation. All proceeds go towards the ongoing maintenance of the reserve.
Choose from:
Early Bird Tour Wild Waterfalls
Medicine Walk Jungle Overnight
Rain Forest Ridge Walk The Osa Trail
Carbonera School Tour Starfish Walk
Full Day Hike Night Walk
Corcovado National Park Tour
Hike in this 1000 acre reserve and learn about its flora and fauna. Take plenty of water on your hike and be vigilant! You will see 4 species of Costa Rican monkeys: spider, white faced, squirrel and howlers. Other animals include agouti, coati mundi, collared and white-lipped peccaries, jaguars, ocelots, margay and puma. You will also spot a variety of birds on your hike which include: crested and solitary eagles, toucans, macaws, great curassow, crested guan, trogons, aracaris, honey creepers, herons, and more. The hikes are very informative and interesting. All hikes start from the front desk. You will probably be guided by a local shaman or medicine man, who has spent a lifetime studying the indigenous plants and animals, as well as the mysteries and legends of the forest. Click here for more information on Rates.
You can also take a tour to the Corcovado National Park which is one of Costa Rica's greatest assets, as well as an important tourist attraction. However, lately the park has been under tremendous pressure from hunters and poachers. Lapa Rios is working diligently with the Corcovado Foundation, having provided the park with additional rangers. As funds are low, Lapa Rios appreciates any support you can offer by donations. For more information please refer to SAVE CORCOVADO.

In the Wake of the News
10:59 PM CST, December 4, 2011
Go ahead and pinpoint the Hail Mary touchdown pass as the difference in the Bears' 10-3 loss Sunday to the Chiefs at Soldier Field, and mathematically, nobody can argue.
But the Bears weren't beaten by an answered Chiefs prayer. They were beaten by their own Godforsaken offense.
Blaming one play for the Bears' second straight loss obscures how dangerously thin this team's margin for error has become on both sides of the ball in the wake of Jay Cutler's thumb injury.
Years from now we still will shake our heads at Chiefs running back Dexter McCluster catching the desperation 38-yard pass that ricocheted off the hands of Chris Conte and Brian Urlacher on the final play before halftime. The highlight reminded Chiefs coach and former Bears assistant Todd Haley of a similar catch in 2001 by ex-Bear James Allen in the same corner of the north end zone during a win over the Browns.
It reminded me of the last time the Bears failed to overcome a bad play in the final minute of the first half, seven days earlier. That one was an interception, this was a touchdown pass and in both cases the Bears showed how poorly they respond to adversity in the Caleb Hanie era.
Sure, that play hurt, but good offenses and opportunistic defenses find ways to minimize the damage of flukes. The Bears had neither at their disposal on a day everything that could go wrong for them did.
They lost running back Matt Forte and safety Major Wright to injuries. Reliable kicker Robbie Gould missed a makable field goal. Expendable wide receiver Roy Williams let a potential tying touchdown pass slip through his hands. The defense dropped interceptions; the special teams produced more penalty flags than excitement.
And Hanie was Hanie, which meant too often he resembled Chad Hutchinson running the 2004 Bears.
During the week, the Bears laughed when they couldn't remember the name of Chiefs quarterback Tyler Palko. "Plank something,'' Israel Idonije cracked. Yet Hanie looked like the one the NFL will forget first.
Not all of Hanie's shakiness can be attributed to Forte's loss. He held on to the ball too long on several of the Chiefs' seven sacks — aided by Mike Martz's rogue return to the seven-step drop. Martz also didn't help Hanie by neglecting rollouts and commemorating Earl Bennett's contract extension by ignoring him in the game plan. Not coincidentally, the offense went 0-for-11 on third down.
Those of us expecting Hanie to make plays overestimated his ability to turn glimpses of growth into quarters of consistency. The Bears still have no alternative but to stick with Hanie as the starter, but as much as Lovie Smith likes his quarterbacks, I would call Donovan McNabb McNow.
"We're going to evaluate our situation and see where we go from here,'' Smith said. "Don't blame one guy for this loss."
Unless that guy is Smith. Teams that show up listless in every phase indict the head coach, and the sleepy Bears played this game as if corporate pitchman Smith passed out bottles of NyQuil at the pregame meal. By the time the Bears awoke from their stupor, a wild-card berth remained realistic but because of the relative weakness of the NFC more than their own strengths.
What are those strengths again? Oh, yeah.
"If we don't get takeaways, we aren't going to win many games,'' Urlacher said.
Even with Urlacher's defense not forcing turnovers and Hanie's offense not moving the chains, the Bears could have tied the game with 4:10 left had Williams concentrated on catching the ball more than absorbing the hit.
"I make that play all the time, but I just saw it late,'' Williams said of the drop that safety Jon McGraw intercepted. "This was tough. They're a good football team.''
No, they aren't. They are a 5-7 team playing on the road with a UFL quarterback who came in with six interceptions in two starts and left with no turnovers and a victory. I asked Williams what another drop did to his confidence.
"My confidence is sky high,'' Williams said. "I was waiting on the ball first, second, third quarter. Just waiting. Things like (the drop) are going to happen.''
Sorry, the only thing sky high should be the jet carrying Williams out of town. Chris Harris had more football capital built up at Halas Hall before the Bears cut him for poor play. Nothing would give the Bears a late-season jolt they need like dumping a guy with accountability problems.
Suddenly the Bears have more problems than solutions.
"We haven't played football like that this year,'' Smith said.
If the Bears play like that again, next year will be here before you know it.

Matt Harvey likely out for the year, could be headed for Tommy John surgery
Mets ace Matt Harvey has a partial tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his pitching elbow according to an MRI taken Monday morning. He thus will likely be shut down for the remainder of the season, and is at risk of needing Tommy John surgery. In making that announcement at a press conference at Citi Field on Monday afternoon, New York general manager Sandy Alderson wouldn't commit to putting Harvey on the disabled list, but he did admit that he "wouldn't expect him to pitch the rest of the season."
Harvey admitted during the press conference to feeling tightness in his forearm for the last month or two, but said that it wasn't until his last start Saturday (a 3-0 loss to the Tigers) that he felt something "alarming." Harvey visited Dr. David Altcheck at the Hospital for Special Surgery on Monday morning and an MRI revealed his torn UCL. Because the tear is a partial one, Harvey and the Mets retain hope that he will be able to avoid surgery. Alderson said that an upcoming MRI, taken after some of the swelling in Harvey's arm goes down, could help the team make a decision on surgery. But he also said that that decision could be as far as two months away.
This news comes as a shock not only to those outside the franchise, but also to Alderson, manager Terry Collins and Harvey himself, who said he didn't feel any of the typical signs related to a ligament tear — no shooting pain or tingling, no pop or other sensation — only a tightness in "the muscle belly" of his forearm, which became significantly worse during his last start.
Indeed, there were no red flags in Harvey's performance nor in his workload this season. While Collins said he noticed that "something was wrong" in Harvey's start against Detroit on Saturday — due to a lack of fastball command and a couple of hanging sliders in the early innings — the pitcher nevertheless walked none, turned in his sixth quality start in his last seven games and threw a 97 mph fastball in the sixth inning. Over Harvey's last seven starts, he posted a 2.05 ERA, walked just three and threw his first career shutout.
In terms of workload, Harvey went from 135 2/3 innings in 2011 to 169 1/3 between the majors and minors in 2012, a reasonable 33 2/3 inning increase. He has thrown just 178 1/3 innings this season, on pace for what Alderson revealed today was an intended innings limit of around 210. Harvey threw just 106 pitches in his shutout (a 5-0 win over the Rockies on Aug. 7), and though he did reach 121 pitches twice earlier in the season, he never surpassed that total.
One can't point the finger at the Mets for Harvey's injury. They have handled him perfectly, giving him preventive treatments on his forearm all season, skipping his last start before the All-Star Game and, based on Collins' observations of Saturday's start (which the manager initially attributed to fatigue), had planned to skip Harvey's next start this week.
One hopes that New York will handle what comes next for Harvey equally well. Certainly the temptation to avoid surgery will be great, but if Harvey does need to go under the knife, he's better off doing it now so that he can come back at full strength in 2015. If he puts it off, he would likely lose part of each of the next two seasons.
The best comparison for Harvey, in terms of getting surgery out of the way quickly, is the Nationals' Stephen Strasburg, who was diagnosed with a "significant tear" of his UCL at exactly this point in the season in 2010 (his last start that season was Aug. 21). Strasburg had surgery in early September, returned to the majors for five starts at the end of '11 and was an All-Star in '12.
The contrasting cautionary tale is that of the Dodgers' Chad Billingsley, who was diagnosed with a partial UCL tear after his Aug. 24 start last season and opted for a course of rest, rehabilitation, and platelet-rich plasma injections over the offseason. Billingsley was able to make just two starts this season before going under the knife at the end of April. As a result, he won't be ready to return until after Opening Day next year and will do so without having that extra off-season of rest and rehabilitation.
Every pitcher, and every partial tear, is different, of course, but given Billingsley's case — as well as those of the Braves' Jonny Venters, and the Orioles' Dylan Bundy, both of whom tried and failed to recover from partial UCL tears without going under the knife — surgery seems inevitable for Harvey, even if there has been at least one study that suggests otherwise.
If so, Harvey will be 26 the next time he starts a regular season game in the major leagues, which would be a shame not only for the Mets, whose burgeoning youth movement was finally giving their fans a glimmer of hope, but also for baseball fans of all stripes as Harvey had emerged this season as one of the best pitchers and brightest stars in the game.
Betting with this service that is known as sports,betting~0star. Making approximately $3000/mth just using this awesome strategy!
Non-surgical treatments never work. Harvey and the Mets need to get the operation over with a hope for the best over the long-term. Perhaps promising young pitchers need to Tommy John surgery before their career begins.
What a $%^&* joke! Our clinic has ELIMINATED TOMMY JOHN SURGERY http://www.prlog.org/12133787-paula-wallem-of-dallas-peak-performance-helps-pitchers-avoid-tommy-john-surgery.html Yet these IDIOTS will STILL PUT HIM UNDER THE KNIFE.
Sucks. With Harvey, the Mets were TRYING to baby him - pitch count limit (maxed out 121 twice during the season), innings limit, and he feels a little forearm tightness ... which still reveals a blown up elbow. I know baseball brain-trusts will freak out and use Harvey as yet another cautionary story to preserve young arms (same with Strasburg) but they're really powerless. You have a guy like Kershaw who's already pitched 1142 MLB innings vs. Strasburg (407) and Harvey (238) and Kershaw's actually a couple months younger than Strasburg and only a year older than Harvey. Injuries can be cumulative or instantaneous ... really a coin-flip for any pitcher. Hindsight is 20/20 but if the Mets had shut down Harvey at 150 IP, would that have made any difference?
of course u can never blame the mets or the manager when a pitcher (who threw more than 120 pitches twice) when the arm blows--see OP.
Sorry to hear. He's a good one and a classy guy. I hope he returns full strength for you guys. We've had a bunch of those and Beachy is back on DL. Part of baseball we all hate.
Do the surgery now and get the recovery rolling. Chad Billingsley also had a partial tear in his UCL and tried PRP treatment only to get hurt again and end up getting the surgery, which completely wasted this season.
not good
@JohnStevens Surgery before injury? A list could be made that is a mile long of successful pitchers who had long careers without ever coming close to needing this surgery. Cutting on a healthy body because you are guessing that the guy might have an injury someday? Where do you people come up with this stuff? You were probably leading cheers when Angelina Jolie got her cans lopped off because of the chance that she might one day get cancer. Absurd.
@MarkMcClure how does knowing where a pain originates heal a torn part ?
@The_Sports_Dude Yup. Just get the surgery. Dodgers really could have used Chad this year too.
@William27 @MarkMcClure #1, it takes the force AWAY from the injured tissue. #2 The muscles are contracting at 500 X per second NEUROLOGICALLY flushing blood to the injured area which ACCELERATES the healing process. Thus, we take the player through ACTIVE movement with blood flow and the force is now ON THE INNER BICEP and OUTER TRICEP and away from the injured area. We have treated 5 Tommy John cases this last 6 months....ALL successfully.
@Charliegone@The_Sports_Dudehey SportsD00sh; halladay had the same injury 10 years ago and didn't get tommy john.
We almost ALWAYS find that it is the long head of the bicep tendon that has come out of the groove of the inner bicep and when this occurs, this force is transferred to the shoulder and elbow region. This also causes scar tissue which does not allow the muscle to turn on fast enough to avoid force. We go in with the ARP Wave and proprietary protocols, treat the NEUROLOGICAL origin....NOT the sympton, get that muscle absorbing force again and when this occurs, the force if OFF the UCL, immense blood flow to the tear and ligament, accelerating the healing and surgery avoided

Another One from Juan
Jonathan Scippa | Thursday, October 28, 2010 at 1:59PM
In what turned out to be the deciding hit in Game One of the World Series, Juan Uribe blasted a 5th inning Darren O'Day fastball into the left field seats at AT&T Park for a 3-run HR.
O'Day started Uribe out with two sliders that ended up way outside of the zone. He then came in on Uribe with a fastball.
Uribe loves the ball in. Since 2008, in 138 plate appearances decided by pitches thrown from a RHP to the lower inside part of the plate, Uribe has batted .378/.370/.770, with a .491 wOBA and 13 HRs.
As you can see, O'Day put the ball right in Uribe's power zone. Although he isn't the most dangerous hitter in the Giants lineup, if you miss down and in to Uribe, he'll make you pay.

THE Penrith Panthers Under 14 Division One men's team has finished the regular season of the NSW Metropolitan league in second position and, as a result, will join 23 other teams from across Australia to compete at the Australian U14 Club Championships, which are being held in Perth from October 1 to 6.
The Panthers team is a success story from beginning to end, with six bottom-age players (12-year olds) and four top-age players (13-year olds), combining to form the youngest team in the Under 14 First Division men's competition.
All four top-age boys (Brendan Hands, Caleb Field, Joshua Calwy and Kevin Achampong) were selected in the NSW Under 14 Talented Athlete Program (TAP) earlier this year, while the six bottom-age players (Daniel Goldrick, Jasper Rentoy, Lachlan Charlton, Logan Rymer Thomas Charlton and Jacob Zalac) were all selected for the NSW Under 13 All-Star Camp, which will be held in Gosford from September 1 to 2.
Head coach Curtis Sardi said: "Last year (2011) the Under 12 men had a great season and six members of that team were selected in this year's Under 14 team, along with the four top-age players who had already played their first year in the Under 14 age group in First Division".
"This group has come together extremely well and are playing their best basketball at the business end of the season.
"The boys should be congratulated on a great season so far - given they are the youngest team in the Sydney competition with six bottom age players
"Manly and Hornsby have four bottom-age players in their programs this year, while Hills District only had one player and the remaining teams did not have any bottom-age players," said a very proud Sardi.
"It just shows you how hard this group has worked to qualify for the Nationals.
"We are also only the second U/14 boy's team from Penrith to ever qualify for the National Championships - the first being 16 years ago under current WCL head coach Jeff Cooper."

Family Storytime Wednesday, March 5th
Lions and Lambs Family Storytime
Wednesday, March 5th
Football fanatic admits there are times when it's pretty darn fine to like basketball
Having been in journalism more than 25 years, I admit to having bad days, days I don't want to think about, and days where I would just prefer to chuck the whole thing and become a mailman.
But then football season comes along and I get spoiled rotten, usually by the highly successful Homestead and Germantown squads, run respectively by the very fine and erudite gentlemen Dave Keel and Phil Datka. I try to be fair to all the other sports and usually succeed, but I know where my heart lies: I worship at the altar of football and am proud of it. I am a happy man August through November.
March Is National Nutrition Month
According to Webster's Dictionary, nutrition is anything that nourishes; in other words, food. It is also defined as the study of a proper, balanced diet to promote health, especially in human beings. Sounds pretty simple, doesn't it? Nutrition is good food that nourishes us and keeps us healthy.
It is probably safe to say that everyone wants to be healthy and live life free of disease and disability to do the things they want to do. Good nutrition and a healthy lifestyle are two very important factors in achieving that goal. Sounds not too difficult. So why are the numbers of overweight people continuing to increase? Why are chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease escalating? One reason is that nutrition is not as good as it should be. This is unfortunate because food choices made today (as well as other lifestyle choices) affect health and how you feel today and how you will feel in the future.
How tough is the GMC? Tosa East, Brookfield Central at state
Some people felt the Greater Metro Conference was down this season, but don't tell that to Wauwatosa East (23-1) and Brookfield Central (18-4). Both the Red Raiders and the Lancers will be playing at the Kohl Center starting on Thursday after winning their sectional championships.
Central had to get by top-seeded Racine Park (19-3) and one of the state's best players in Jamil Wilson in the title game. Cory Degner, the GMC Player of the Year, scored 23 points, but defensive stopper Donne Robbins had the game of his life with 25 points, including six of the team's 12 3-pointers. Wilson was amazing, as he had 37 points, including a 3-pointer at the buzzer to make the score, 72-68, closer than it was.
Time To Say Good Bye
Time To Say Good Bye is an operatic duet performed by Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli. It is music of such soul-piercing beauty that I don't want to meet the person who can listen to it and remain unmoved. I remember it playing in Madison Square Garden as Wayne Gretzky took his final laps around the rink, the greatest performer in the history of team sports humbly acknowledging the tidal wave of tribute pouring down upon him. I remember The Great One gazing up at his lovely wife, Janet Jones-Gretzky, as she sobbed uncontrollably in the stands.
And now it is time for Packer fans to say good bye.
Raiders saved the best for last
Following Wauwatosa East's semi-final victory over Brookfield Central at the state tournament in Madison Friday night, one of the Madison area writers asked coach Tim Arndorfer in a polite way if the Red Raiders were saving their best for last.
Afterall, East beat a tall Eau Claire North team, 50-38, pulling away in the final minutes and then had a grind-it-out 52-48 victory over Central, which played most of the first half without the Greater Metro Conference Player of the Year Cory Degner, who left the game with two fouls with about three minutes left in the first quarter.
Diabetes Alert Day
March 25, 2008 is Diabetes Alert Day and is used by the American Diabetes Association as a "wake-up" call to alert Americans about the seriousness of diabetes. Nearly 21 million Americans have diabetes. Of those, more than 6 million Americans don't even know it. And another 54 million Americans have pre-diabetes placing them at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Diabetes has become one of the greatest public health crises of the next quarter century.
Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition that affects the way your body uses glucose (sugar) as a source of fuel or energy. Type 2 diabetes makes the body unable to absorb sugar into the cells which results in a higher than normal amount of sugar in the blood. Prediabetes is a condition that usually precedes type 2 diabetes and occurs when blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be classified as type 2 diabetes.
I have been blogging for a year and a half and have addressed matters of history, culture, policy, and sports, with columns ranging from the deadly serious (a three-part series on the Virginia Tech. Massacre), to the political (two-part series on Separation of Church and State), to the adventurous (back-packing through Glacier National Park).
Right now I need to pull back a bit. I don't plan to stop, and if Brookfield Now will still have me, I will continue as matters of interest present themselves. At some point I may return to a weekly schedule, but in the interim there will be fewer columns. Given that, I would like to devote some of them to matters of interest to you. So let me know what those topics might be.
Fly on the Floor
I'm back!
This past weekend was unexpectedly quite busy. If you haven't heard by now, you must be in a coma. A huge congratulations goes out to the New Berlin Eisenhower boys basketball team on winning their first-ever state championship title. The Lions entered the WIAA playoffs with a fourth seed — they were even left off a list of teams to watch in the sectional. But with hard work, determination and an incredibly strong New Berlin fan base, the boys took home the gold Saturday, with a win over Adams-Friendship, 54-41.
Lady Lancers deserved more creditDespite making it to the semifinals of the WIAA State Girls Basketball Championships March 14, the Brookfield Central girls basketball team never got the respect this team deserved this year.
Listen to what senior guard Anna Butzlaff had to say.
Crime Alert: Armed Robberies
Three armed robberies were reported on March 14th and 15th, 2008
Noodles & Company, 7700 block W. State St., 14th at 10:28pm
Street Robbery 7600 block W. State St., 15th at 12:40am
Days Inn, 11800 block W. State St., 15th at 9:42pm
Each robbery was conducted by two black males sometimes wearing hooded sweatshirts, ski masks and/or a do-rag to cover their faces. In each case it seems one suspect would act as a lookout while the other approached the register or victims.

Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive and Dodge!
Muskego residents are serious about their dodgeball.
The second annual Future Business Leaders of America Dodgeball Tournament was held this weekend at Muskego High School. Approximately 35 teams entered the tourney and pelted balls at one another in front of a packed house. The teams ranged from lunch ladies adorned in hair nets to sports teams decked out in their school uniforms.
Arndorfer, Degner, Powell, Barnett earn CNI All-Suburban honors
The CNI All-Suburban Boys Basketball Team will be featured in this week's BrookfieldNOW and WauwatosaNOW papers and web sites on Thursday and both Brookfield Central Wauwatosa East are well represented.
First of all, Tim Arndorfer was named CNI's Boys Basketball Coach of the Year, beating out some excellent candidates from the area Community Newspapers, Inc. covers.
World Tuberculosis Day
World Tuberculosis Day was observed on March 24th of this week. Many Americans might think this has nothing to do with them but they would be mistaken. Tuberculosis (TB) is a global disease and its effects are felt worldwide.
TB is one of the world's deadliest diseases and one third of the world's population is infected with it. Each year, nine million people around the world become sick with TB and almost two million people die from TB-related effects. Fortunately, in the US, the numbers are much lower. In 2006, 13,779 Americans had TB. In 2005, 646 Americans died from TB. In Wisconsin, there were 70 new cases of TB in 2007 and 1000 people were being treated for infection from exposure to an active case. Some of these are in our own communities. In truth, everyone is at risk of exposure and illness especially in this era of globalization and easy international travel.

Before the snow melts, a few final kudos to the kids of winter
The joys of winter did not include my aching back as a I shoveled the last of the 98 inches (or was it 980 inches?) the other weekend. Serves me right for crabbing in previous winters about how ugly things were with no snow and only dormant trees and dead grass to look at.
But it did include winners of all stripes and definitions, who transcended the snow and the cold, and who graced the too-long season with their warmth and light.

If you can imagine the side profile of an elephant's head as a the shape of Thailand, Ratchaburi province sits at the top of the trunk, acting as a buffer between Burma and Bangkok, and between the capital and the long peninsula that extends all the way down to Malaysia and Singapore.
This strategic positioning has seen the province change hands many times in the past -- it was a provincial centre of the Angkorian kingdom and formed the thoroughfare for a number of Burmese invasions during the Ayutthaya period. There is still a large army base on the north side of the Mae Khlong River and a strong military presence about the same-named capital city.
Also known as Ratburi, Ratchaburi isn't what you'd call a potpourri of tourist delights, but it's a good base for exploring the region's nooks and crannies -- just don't be surprised if you're the only foreigner you see during your stay.

An Easter farewell ceremony was held in Mesa Sunday for more than 170 soldiers headed to Afghanistan.
The US Army has called the Mesa-based 56th Military Police Company to active duty to support Operation Enduring Freedom.
Sunday was the deployment ceremony.
But instead of putting a damper on Easter, many soldiers said they enjoyed spending time with their family and what's become their extended family.
It was an emotional Easter Sunday for some family and soldiers of the 56th Military Police Company, based in Mesa.
"Emotions going a little haywire," said Pfc. Michael Ward.
About 170 soldiers from Arizona, California, Texas, Oklahoma and Utah are being deployed to Afghanistan.
Sunday a farewell ceremony was held at Highland High School football field.
"It's difficult, but it's good for him," said Craig Ward, Michael Ward's father.
'They're just nervous, of course, their daughter's going off to war," said Spc. Jennifer Chi.
The soldiers will be deployed for about nine months, providing security and law enforcement in Afghanistan.
"We're military police so we're multi functional," said First Sergeant Sean Davis.
As the unit stood on the football field, families sat under umbrellas to ward off the beating sun and kids were dressed in their Easter best.
Congresswoman Kyrsten Sinema and military leaders addressed the group.
"It didn't take long to learn these guys are probably one of the most outstanding group of soldiers I've ever served with," said Davis.
This unit went to Iraq in 2007. While it's the second deployment for the unit, for some of the soldiers it's their first.
"Actually, we have more soldiers who have yet to deploy than we have veterans of deployment," said Davis.
"I try to enjoy every minute because I only have a few left," said Spc. Iliana Daisher.
This is Daisher's first deployment.
She's leaving her 1-year-old daughter, Lillian.
"It's going to be rough, but with Skype and stuff, I' going to be able to watch her grow," said Daisher.
"We're up to the task and we'll all come home...172 go, 172 come back," said Davis.
An Easter egg hunt was organized for the unit and their families Saturday.
While Sunday was the deployment ceremony, the unit leaves Wednesday, so they still have a little time to spend with family and friends.

I'm ready. Can the Commish take a look at sacks on the offensive scoring. +1 for sacks seems off. Either it should be 0 or -1. -1 for sacks given up is rough though.
Tomorrow at 2:45 pm, not bad.
I think I can make this.

Thanks for changing the scoring on sacks given up Commish
Good luck everyone, May the best owner/giant fan win.

Asian markets oscillate between gains and losses
by Himanshu Singh on Jan 14, 2013 at 03:57
Asian stocks oscillated between gains and losses as Singapore property developers declined after the government rolled out additional cooling measures.
The MSCI Asia Pacific Excluding Japan Index lost 0.1% to 476 as of 10:32 a.m. in Hong Kong. Singapore's Straits Times Index and Taiwan's Taiex dropped 0.7%, while South Korea's Kospi Index rose 0.2%. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index and China's Shanghai Composite Index both gained 0.3%.
Australia's S&P/ASX 200 Index added 0.3%, paring earlier gains as home-loan approvals unexpectedly dropped in November. The Japanese equity market is shut for a holiday.
CapitaLand Ltd. and City Developments Ltd., Singapore's biggest developers, fell more than 5%. Li & Fung Ltd., the world's largest supplier of clothes and toys to retailers, plunged 15% in Hong Kong after posting a 40% decline in operating income last year.
Northern Star Resources Ltd., an Australian gold producer, rose 4.2% in Sydney after reporting increased output.
Meanwhile, the yen plumbed a 2-1/2 year low against the dollar today as Japan's central bank faced further political pressure to deliver bold stimulus.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Sunday said the Bank of Japan must set a 2% inflation target and make it a medium-term, not long-term, goal to pursue bold monetary easing.A slide in oil prices was also stemmed amid optimism about the global economy. US crude rose 29 cents to $93.85 a barrel, recovering from Friday's 26-cent fall, while Brent crude was little changed at $110.62 a barrel.

Found out a week ago that the ea82 currently in it has been pretty much destroyed by the PO being an amateur. He put a weber carb on it, and didn't properly tune it. I looked back into the thread and he basically just wanted it to run, so when other very knowledgeable members warned him not to just advance the timing to make it work... thats exactly what he did. Wish I had seen that thread before I bought this thing.
Anyway, I'm stuck with it now, so I picked up an ea81 off of CL for $150.
To do list:
Reseal ea81
Swap ea81 in
2" suspension lift from BOSS
6-lug hub and drum redrill
Replace front seats
Took the ea81 apart tonight, got her all shiny

The BK virus is a virus that mainly infects the kidneys and urinary tract. Most people get infected with the BK virus sometime during their life.
Infection with the BK virus rarely causes symptoms, except in people who have a weakened immune system. Most of the problems from the BK virus are seen in people who have had an organ transplant. People who have transplanted organs must take medicines to prevent their bodies from rejecting the organs they receive. These medicines also lower their ability to fight infection. In these people, a BK virus infection can damage the kidneys.

background information
From the 9th to the 27th of February 2004 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the conservation of our planet's biodiversity and the future regulation of the movement of genetically modified organisms will be negotiated. Governments, international institutions, corporations, Indigenous Peoples, NGOs and activists will converge to discuss the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Cartegena Protocol on Biosafety. While the safeguarding of our planet is supposed to be a common aim of these talks, not much is agreed upon.
Contentious issues are discussed with the CBD, particularly the aim of reaching an international agreement on the access and benefit sharing of genetic resources. Who owns the planets genetic resources? How will they be shared? Should our natural environment be copyrighted and sold for a profit as certain stakeholders would have it? It places Indigenous Peoples and some NGOs against many governments, corporations and institutions support the patenting of life. Other potential issues that will be discussed at the meeting will be the role of protected areas in the preservation of biological diversity as well as the transfer of technology and technology cooperation. The meeting will also discuss the biological diversity of mountain ecosystems.
The meeting for the Cartegena Protocol on Biosafety promises to be just as confrontational. The protocol was developed as an international agreement to govern the transboundary movement of genetically (living) modified organisms. Initiated because of the concerns about the possible consequences of the introduction of genetically modified organisms into food and agriculture, it has been bitterly negotiated between the proponents for and against the free spread of the technology. The protocol has only recently come into force as a result of it having been ratified by over 50 nations, the 50th being the tiny island state of Palau. The meeting in Malaysia will be the first since the Protocol's ratification and signifies a crucial time for the future of biosafety and may determine the regulation of genetically modified organisms on a global scale, for many years to come. The meeting will discuss a biosafety clearing-house mechanism, bio-safety capacity-building, liability and redress, protocol compliance, and the handling, transport, packaging and identification of living modified organisms.
