Gil Gershman, Sonomu, 28 septembre 1998A startling piece of digital composition and yet another example of Appleton's warmth and irrepressible humanness…
André Mayer, Musicworks, no 71, 1 juin 1998
Appleton, an American pioneer of electronic music, might be best known for co-designing the Synclavier and as a founding member of the CIME (International Confederation for Electroacoustic Music) and the SEAMUS (Society for ElectroAcoustic Music in the United States). His academic and theoretical associations aside, Appleton has a welcome sense of humor. Take Newark Airport Rock, a witty 1969 piece in which comments on "the new electronic music" were collected during a random survey of passengers and strung together with a jumbled quasi-Beat arrangement of Moog squiggles and sequenced electronics. Some of the opinions are extremely funny (a few favorites are the clueless "You'll hear it when you want to hear it," and "We get enough of that in the Army!," "You mean that stuff we hear on the airplanes?"), others are surprisingly perceptive and revelatory — and the teens who declare that it's "with-it!," "really neat!," "cool," and "a beautiful thing… really nice" give the burgeoning artform a rather prescient stamp of generational approval. San Francisco Airport Rock, a 1996 sequel constructed with reactions gathered during another (more recent) impromptu survey, finds that not as much as changed as we'd like to think, despite the apparent assimilation of electronic music into the culture of popular music. Again the teens seem most receptive, whether commenting on e-music's noted drug-friendly aspect or on the potential for self-expression in the Computer Age, and the adults tend to be more readily dismissive — "Like the music in the elevators?," "Oh, it's not real!," and the popular "I prefer music played by musicians without computers" — with the notable exception of one woman who "met Moog when he first came out with the synthesizer" and a man enamored of e-music's disreputable sibling, New Age. Name recognition is up — one surveyee impressively namechecks Koyaanisqatsi — and, rest assured, Gen X still deems it "great," and — yes, "cool." Even if one girl thinks it "sucks," a trenchant insight which Appleton accents to especially humorous effect. Twenty years later, and it appears that the "new" electronic music still has a way to go in terms of mainstream acceptance. The other pieces on Contes de la mémoire span Appleton's prolific career and include both his "signature" works — Chef d'œuvre, a bustling concrète abstraction composed in 1967 exclusively using the sounds of the Andrews Sisters singing in an ad for Chef Boy-Ar-Dee (you have to love this guy!) — and music of more recent vintage (Appleton's comparatively solemn electronics-and-tape paen to a friend's Russian heritage, 1993's Dima Dobralsa Domoy). With Appleton's music, whether dating from the earliest days of his experiments with electroacoustics in his Dartmouth University tape studio (Georganna's Fancy [1966] and Spuyten Duyvil [1967]) or witnessing the refinement and maturity of his compositional techniques, there is always an extraordinary energy. Timbres swell and scatter; archival recordings and extremely active electronics react to convey a sense of excitement and urgency (CCCP (In Memoriam: Anatoly Kuznetsov) [1966], prefiguring Dima Dobralsa Domoy and paying homage to the Russian writer's courageous defection). Among Appleton's most advanced "tape-studio" pieces, Times Square Times Ten presents Manhattan, 1969, in exacting cross-section, a musical excavation of the City from its busy streets to the subterranean whispers of life in its subway belly. Cutting a vertical swath of city-life with observant precision, Times Square Times Ten is the City in miniature — a sonic core-sample so studiously idealized that it could only have been crafted artificially. Another of Appleton's older tape constructions, 1970's Homage To Orpheus revisits the acousmatic tinkles and chimes of Nordheim or Bayle, so convincingly in fact that the composer confesses to feeling distanced from it, and that it "almost sounds like music composed by someone else." No such comment can be made about In Media Res, a pinnacle of Appleton's digital abstractions. Over nine minutes of gorgeous rippling sonorities, bagpipe-like drones and agitated multitracked synthetics — brought to a sudden close after a section of itchy organ-toned polyphonies. A startling piece of digital composition and yet another example of Appleton's warmth and irrepressible humanness, qualities so critical to the ageless appeal of his innovative œuvre.
American Jon Appleton and Brit Jonty Harrison are pioneers of electroacoustic music, and the pivotal moments of their enterprising work are marvellously captured on these two retrospectives issued by the empreintes DIGITALes label.
Both artists are preoccupied with texture, and as such, few traces of melody or even conventional structure are to be found in their compositions. As with most experimental music, the focus is on the listener's reaction to the sounds as opposed to the composer's delight in making them.
The most illuminating composition on Contes de la mémoire is Newark Airport Rock written in 1969, for which Appleton approached unsuspecting travellers and asked them "What do you think about the new electronic music?" Their responses ranged from unbridled enthusiasm to outright repulsion. (Someone even asked Appleton whether he meant "elevator music") Out of these sondry reactions Appleton created a dynamic collage of voices that he set to spiky jazz — the effect is fascinating. The first track on Contes de la mémoire, San Francisco Airport Rock, reprises this experiment twenty-seven years later (this time set to a canvas of ambient music). Whether or not it was the desired result, the only difference in these compositions is the vernacular of the interviewees — the lesson here seems to be that the acceptance of electronic music is still far from complete. (One chap emphatically said "I like real music by real musicians," as sly an indictment of electronic music as has ever been uttered.) Appleton certainly had a stake in the matter, having helped design the Synclavier, the first digital synthesizer.
Contes de la mémoire also includes Dima Dobralsa Domoy (1993), which tells, through a variety of both organic and electronic tones, the tale of one Russian's search for home. Appleton expands on a pet theme namely, the political oppression of artists — on the track CCCP (In Memoriam: Anatoly Kuznetsov), which is a memorial to Russian writer Anatoly Kuznetsov, who defected to the West. The track deftly combines Kuznetsov's voice with soundbites of Stalin, Tolstoy, Radio Moscow, and Russian folk music to create an intensely emotional environment. But the most subversive track on this compilation is probably the last one. Chef d'œuvre, written in 1967, takes a jingle for Chef-Boy-Ar-Dee performed by the Andrews Sisters, and distorts it with vocoders and various other effects, resulting in a wildly delusional aural document that at once celebrates and lampoons classic Americana.

When you have a dog with behavior problems or challenges, it is both easy and tempting to dwell on all the things you have to work on, the things that are frustrating or embarrassing, or the things that alter the frequency of your hair-dyeing routine due to increased greys. I get it. I think it's probably human nature.
But the crux of good training, really, is to find good moments and reward them. Over time, this improves dog behavior and owner attitudes about their dog. I could post pages full of things that I still need to work on with Cuba and Mokie, but since we've been talking lately about my struggles with Cuba's adolescence, I figured it's good to take a step back and teach you all about how wonderful he is.
I have a big problem with the label "bad dogs." Because I have anxiety disorder and depression myself, I am not always at my cheery best, but even when I am tempted to lay on the horn and scream "ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" at the lady in front of me going 40 mph in a 65 mph speed limit zone, I still think I'm a pretty good person. Almost all of my clients who are seeking behavioral guidance for their dogs say, "he really is a good dog, except when…" This statement is usually offered with trepidation – will she believe me? Yes, I will.
Cuba is a great dog too, despite barking at stumps, traffic, and other assorted environmental stimuli. Here are some of my favorite things about him:
- He sleeps through nail trimming. Laid on his back, legs fully extended, jowls dragging along the floor, snoring. I love it. I've never in my life met a dog so relaxed for nail trims.
- He wags his tail whenever he hears a loud clap of thunder. Yes, he is expecting a treat. He's also probably going to get one.
- He is a good kitty snuggler – my 3.5 legged cat Ahab literally stalks Cuba around the house, waiting for him to lay down, so that he can lay on Cuba or wrangle his way under one of those twenty pound legs of his. It's really pretty cute. They pretty much love each other a lot!
- He loves to learn. He'll happily stay engaged in training sessions and loves offering different behaviors for reinforcement, playing shaping games, and engaging in problem-solving puzzles, toys, and challenges.
- His foundation skills are actually quite nice! I'm pretty proud of his loose leash walking, his reliable name response and recall, his ability and enthusiasm for staying with me off leash while we go out in the woods, and his targeting behavior is awesome! Sometimes I have to remind myself that behavior problems are not necessarily obedience problems, and vice versa.
- He's a pretty mellow guy! Cuba will happily wait his turn for training sessions (Mokie could take a page from that book!), and will run to his crate and lie down immediately when I'm working with Mokie, resting with the crate door open until he's invited out.
- He loves to play. Cuba will play with almost any toy I offer him. Even when he's excited, he has a beautiful "drop," default sit, and will wait until released to bring back his favorite toy for another round of fetch/tug.
- He self-handicaps well in play. Mokie, my Chow mix, is seven years old and arthritic, which hardly slows her down but nonetheless means that she could easily be hurt when engaging in fairly rough play with a dog four times her size. Self-handicapping means that a large dog will not use the full extent of his strength when engaging in play with a smaller or unwell dog – kind of like when dad arm wrestles his three year old son and lets the kid win. Cuba does the same when playing with another friend who is also 1/4 his size and has a luxating patella, or with his Westie friend who is about 1/10th of his size. Thanks, pal!
- He doesn't resource guard at all. He will let Ahab crawl all over him while enjoying a marrow bone, and will gladly allow me to remove a big chunk of raw meat from his crate or mouth if needed. Not long ago, both of the dogs got steak for dinner – Mokie got a much smaller portion (since she is a much smaller dog). She ran out of her crate, abandoning her own steak, and grabbed a four pound steak out of his mouth before dancing away – instead of resource guarding, he stood there wagging his tail, looking a bit confused, as if to say, "Not sure what happened there, but I am still hungry!" Needless to say, I took the steak away from Mokie, gave it back to Cuba, and yes, I closed her crate door (she is ballsy!).
- He is SILLY. I don't know that I've ever spent time with a dog that makes me laugh harder than Cuba, and this includes Boxers!
- He loves being groomed. He'd let me brush him all day, even sleeping as I work through tangles and the very occasional mat.
- He is a seriously amazing snuggler.
- He keeps getting better every day – already, things that used to be a struggle (like getting in the van or having his harness put on) are no longer issues. While we still have lots of issues to work on, it makes me feel good when I reflect on all the things that used to scare him but now are fun for us to do together.
- We are surrounded on almost all sides of the yard by dogs that love to fence fight. While I try to be proactive about managing (not letting him out when the craziest of neighbor dogs are out, being prepared with treats and training strategies when we go out together, etc.), the occasional fence fight happens despite my best efforts. I am really proud that I can call him and he will come immediately even when in the midst of such an event. I'm also pretty happy that we went out many times today without a single reaction (see no. 13 on the list – he is getting better)!
I'm pretty much madly in love with this dog and am so glad he is a part of my family. I could go on and on, but this is a blog and not a book. Like Monte, I suspect that he will be one of the best teachers I've ever had, and I will always remain his faithful friend, student, and guide. Love you, Cubie Doo!

Special interest groups (SIGs) are commissions created to develop, promote, update all the functions and relations of the Paediatric Section of the EUSEM. All SIGs have a responsible that participates in the Extended Executive Committee. The term of office is the same as for the Chair of the section, and is renewable only once. Members with special interests or competences can be invited by the Executive Committee to join or lead a SIG.
Special Interest Group – Curriculum Development
Responsible dr. Ruud Nijman, UK
The group is founded to develop, maintain and update a series of curricula in Paediatric Emergency Medicine (PEM). The target audience for the curriculum are mainly but not only nations with an emerging PEM work force.
SIG general objectives:
- Design focused PEM emergency medicine curricula for the spectrum of emergency medicine
- Design curricula suitable for the specific needs of various cultures, geographical areas and nations.
- Review and modify standing curricula as required.
- Prepare an annual report for the annual meeting and dissemination
- Act as an advisory and consultancy group to member nations seeking consultation on the development of emergency medicine content and specialty training across the educational continuum.
Priorities for 2019-2020:
1. Validation of our European Training Curriculum (ETR) by the UEMS.
The ETR has been approved in November by the UEMS (that's a very good news!).
2019 European Training Requirements for training in Paediatrics Emergency Medicine
2. To define auditing of national training centres to ensure ETR complaint
The Curriculum SIG is working on objective #2 by developing an european survey.
Special Interest Group – Education
Responsible: Roberto Velasco
The group is founded to provide educational and teaching material in emergency medicine (EM) clinical areas. The group should evaluate, amend and distribute the existing educational and teaching material (e.g course, workshop) while design and develop new educational opportunities for the EM community (e.g. on-line video, not existing courses).
SIG general objectives:
The special interest group in education will accomplish its purposes in the following manner:
- Identify educational needs based on assessments from a variety of sources, including different national and CME requirements, board certification requirements, quality measures, test results, activity evaluations, surveys. Particular attention will be made to examine existing content for "high priority" clinical practice modules (i.e. resuscitation, trauma, sedation, etc.).
- Design, implement, evaluate and revise educational activities that meet identified needs and enhance the pediatric section of the EUSEM position as the primary source for state-of-the-art pediatric emergency medicine education, including:
- Alternative educational opportunities such as simulation courses for procedural competencies and skills
- Mobile and online courses and other activities that incorporate new learning technologies
- Activities designed to help students, residents, and young physicians during early years of practice
- Activities on the pediatric emergency medicine core content designed to reinforce cognitive expertise
- Try to pursue strategic partnerships with companies and sponsor that may contribute to the objectives of any educational program
- Explore cost-efficient ways to provide education to international emergency physicians enhancing EUSEM PEM section expertise internationally
- Work in conjunction with the Disaster Medicine Section of the EUSEM to develop pediatric topics in the existing mass casualty/disaster training
- Work to include pediatric PSA in the existing PSA pre-course
- Work in conjunction with the Ultrasound Section of the EUSEM to develop pediatric topics in the existing Ultrasound basic/advanced course.
- Explore the feasibility of a pediatric trauma course that should be run separately or in conjunction with the advanced pediatric emergency course (APEC).
- Cooperate with other European pediatric groups and Societies and explore the possibility to provide advanced pediatric emergency training for general pediatricians and nurses.
Priorities for 2019-2020
1. To develop within the EUSEM, for the EUSEM but also for other societies (e.g. the EAP) specific PEM courses: POCUS, Procedural sedation and analgesia, Trauma
2. Future EUSEM congess organization. We will have more pediatric tracks in Copenhagen 2020, and the program should be prepared in advance.
SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP - Communication
Responsible: Ozlem Teksam
Priorities for 2019-2020
1. To continue the development of the facebook and twitter accounts in order to keep PEM members updated; improve the webpage of PEM in the Eusem site.

Deep in a monastery shrouded by the cover of the Chartreuse Mountains in France, two monks concoct an intoxicating elixir whose recipe is known only to them. The history of this elixir stretches back over hundreds of years through turbulent history and troubled times, yet the beverage has persevered and is still available today for public consumption. Few may think to order it or seek it out for its exquisite and pungent taste, but it still maintains a cult following and is starting to gain some popularity as a welcome ingredient to certain cocktails or just to be served straight and sipped.
Actually produced in a factory that lies nearby to the monastery in a town called Voiron, Chartreuse has a colourful history and exotic taste that make for a very interesting liqueur. The monks create two types of Chartreuse at present day: a Green variety and a Yellow variety. The Green is not only more popular but also a tad more potent, with an abv that comes in around 55% (the yellow comes in at 40% with much softer and gentler flavours and aromas). The green libation proudly gives its name to the colour that we all know, and is a liqueur that will continue to evolve and age in its bottle, much like a fine wine. Generally preferred neat, Chartreuse has a distinctly sweet taste that then morphs into a spicy and pungent body, leaving many flavours to coax the palate. It also finds a home high up in the majestic regions of the snow-peaked Alps at popular ski resorts, where it is served with hot chocolate to create a warming pick-me-up known as "Green Chaud". This spirit calls for a recipe of 132 plants and is distilled from this specific number of herbal extracts, gaining its expressive green colour from chlorophyll.
In 1605, a medieval figure, whose name was supposedly Francois Hannibal d'Estrees, came to the lonely monastery at La Grande Chartreuse (a name that comes from the mountains that surround the monastery), and presented the monks with a scrawled alchemy formula that was touted as being an elixir for long life. The monks then took in this precious recipe and tinkered, tweaked, and improved upon it for many years, first creating a substance know as Elixir Vegetal de la Grande Chartreuse. This original brew, which was composed of 130 different herbs, flowers, and closely-guarded secret ingredients added to a wine alcohol base, was continuously mastered and experimented with over the ensuing years until it officially became Green Chartreuse in the year 1764.
A series of events that followed found the monks being forcefully expelled from their cozy monastery in 1793, only to return to their abode in 1838 to develop Green Chartreuse's milder, younger cousin: Yellow Chartreuse, which is coloured with saffron. The poor hooded Brothers, clothed in their long, draping habits, were once again expelled from their precious monastery and France altogether in 1903, where they were forced to take their coveted secret recipe for Chartreuse all the way to Tarragona, Spain. To make matters worse, the distillery was carried away by a mudslide and completely destroyed in 1935, when it was then rebuilt by French Army engineers at a different location. The monks were soon considered legal French residents once again after the Second World War and were allowed to continue operations near the town of Voiron, returning the original sacred recipe for the elixir of life to its true home.
La Grande Charteuse
This unique distillate still manages to uphold its shroud of mystery, where even to this day, only two monks know the actual recipe that goes into Chartreuse and only they themselves prepare it. Despite its secrecy, it has been highly praised with silver and double gold medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and scores ranging from 96-100 by Wine Enthusiast. Is this elixir worth trying straight up or as a welcome splash to one of your cocktails? Give it a try, and who knows, you may find yourself living long enough to discover the true recipe as a result.

A high school cheerleader claims a coach forced her to give up her Facebook account login information, only to see her account's contents shared widely with school officials, resulting in extensive disciplinary action, reports Ars Technica — and she's now suing everyone involved. The lawsuit alleges the cheerleading coach, who is also a teacher at the school, demanded that members of her squad hand over their Facebook login information. According to the suit, the teacher used this information to access the plaintiff's account, which included a heated discussion of some of the cheerleading squad's internal politics. That information then was shared widely among school administrators, which resulted in the student receiving various sanctions. The suit alleges that the school's administration and staff violated the plaintiff's Constitutional rights to privacy, free speech, and association, and subjected her to cruel and unusual punishment…

CC Creams Are Coming Soon, and Here's What You Should Know
Can you believe it's only been a year since the BB cream craze kicked off in Canada? I know this because I wrote an article for ELLE Canada about them at this time last year, and I specifically remember that we had hardly any product options to photograph. (Which was okay—it was a trend story, and we wanted to be the first mag to deliver the scoop.) Back then, the only BBs Canadians could buy were from MAC, Dr. Jart (via Sephora.com) and a few sneaky imports at Pacific Mall.
Now, things have become a bit crazy. What brand doesn't have a BB cream these days?! Besides the ones I first wrote about here, I think I probably have at least 10 new ones in a bin by my desk for testing. Biggest.Beauty.Trend.Evah!
But guess what: BBs are officially old news. The new kid on the block is CC cream—which, if you can believe it, is supposed to be even better. My very first CC sample to test is due to arrive any day now, and I cannot WAIT. Here's why...
What is a CC cream?
Okay, so you know how BB cream started off as "blemish balm" but now (more accurately) is usually called "beauty balm?" Well, CC is similarly ambiguous—but I think the best description is "colour control" or "colour correction" cream.
What's the difference between a BB cream and a CC cream?
The first thing you need to know is that CC creams do everything BBs can do. So they act like a moisturizer, primer, illuminator, foundation and (usually) sunscreen, all in one pretty little tube.
However, with a CC you're going to get more corrective ingredients to help even out and brighten your skin tone, as well as fight the signs of aging. (Yay!) You're also going to get better coverage—a benefit that, as I'll be the first to point out, is sometimes lacking with BBs. So the colour you'll get is going to be a bit more foundation-like, but still sheer and natural-looking.
Best of all, CCs claim to be much more lightweight than BBs and also oil-free. So that's a huge bonus if you're on the shiny or acne-prone skin side... or if you simply want to layer a CC on top of your regular moisturizer and SPF, and don't need quite the level of hydration that a BB offers.
Sounds amaze, right? So...
Which brands are making CC creams (and when)?
The first one arriving in Canada is going to be out in December or January, and it's from Juice Beauty:
It's called the Stem Cellular Repair CC Cream, and I'm extra-excited that it's a natural product with all these benefits! They're calling it a 12-in-1, it does so many things. The key ones that you should know about include evening out skin tone, repairing DNA damage, protecting with chemical-free SPF 30 and providing mineral tinted coverage. For $42, that's great value. And look: they're already taking pre-orders on their website.
The next one coming down the pike is from Olay. Meet the Total Effects Tone Correcting Moisturizer with Sunscreen:
We'll have to sit tight until Feb. for this one, but it should be worth the wait. Although it doesn't specifically call itself a CC on the label, I've received confirmation from the Olay folks that they'll be marketing it as such—and that's because it contains Definity tone-improving ingredients, SPF 15 protection and sheer tinted coverage. That meets the definition of a CC, yes? The only thing I'm curious about is the coverage level. Other Olay skincare/makeup hybrids that I've tried in the past have been on the sheer side, so I'm curious about how this one will perform. That said, the price is right for an all-in-one prod: it's going to be just $32.99.
UPDATE: Word just in from the Olay team that this will, in fact, say "CC" on the packaging (I've updated the product shot above). And it'll be available in two shades: Fair to Light and Light to Medium.
The third brand that just might be coming out with a CC cream in Canada is Chanel. They already have this available in Asia:
Oh pretty please, Chanel, bring this one here for us! My PR contact can't say for sure, but I'm guessing there's a good chance we'll see this in stores at some point before the end of 2013. Also? With that whole double C thing, CC cream is kind of the perfect product for Chanel to get involved in. Just sayin'.
Word on the street is that Clinique has a CC in the works as well. Alas, no deets yet.
The other brands that make CCs in Asia—Rachel K, iFiona and Tiannuo—are only available online. But knowing how big BBs got, that could change soon!
How do you apply a CC cream?
Since the whole point of a CC is delivering active ingredients into your skin, it's even more important than it was with BB cream that you apply the product all over your face instead of spot-treating (as you might do with a regular foundation or concealer).
Use about a quarter-sized amount and massage it all over your face with your fingertips, blending really well. As with BBs, follow up with concealer and/or powder to correct any remaining imperfections. Remember, CCs (and BBs) can do a lot, but they can't do everything!
Should you try a CC cream?
If you already love BB cream, then yes, I recommend giving a CC a go once this new category becomes available. The all-in-one concept is a HUGE benefit—and who wouldn't want more skin-beautifying ingredients in her makeup? A CC is also going to be a great choice for you if you've got oily skin or acne, and/or if you've found BBs didn't have quite enough coverage.
One thing I'm not sure about is just how well these will work on darker complexions. The Juice Beauty and Olay CCs come in two shades, but I'm not sure how well the so-called "medium-to-dark" tints actually work. As with any complexion makeup, my advice is to try before you buy... or stick with a BB like Maybelline New York's, which has a broad range of colour options.
Tell me:
Are you excited about CC creams?
Or are you sticking with BB creams thankyouverymuch?
What are you using on your skin right now (and loving)?

My name is Angela and I must admit, I'm an addict.......
candy is my weakness!!!!
Yes, I know I need help, but during this time of year it just
seems to go into overdrive!!!
As school is winding down, I'm am in the throes of testing,
and let me tell you, I'm sick of it!!
And I'm nowhere near finished!
As I was walking my kiddos to lunch, one of my parents drove up and
this was what she handed me.
My heart soared when I opened the bag!!
(How did she know?!?!?!?)
Now, before you read the card, I must tell you, it really made me cry!!
This student is a repeater, and she is extremely smart and she has really come a long way!!!
So, to all of the fabulous teachers out there, what we do matters.
We can and do make a difference, no matter how hard it seems at times!!!
Happy Teacher's Appreciation!!!!!!!

At Kelly Services Inc., business is good -- quite good.
In Michigan alone last year, the global staffing company placed approximately 2,500 more people in positions than it did in 2010, spanning industries and all lines of Kelly's business: temporary help, temp-to-hire and direct hires.
There's been steady, increased demand for Troy-based Kelly's services as the economy has strengthened. That's good news for the company and job-seekers -- and a beacon of recovery. Such results fit with the trends on Michigan's jobless rate, which fell to 8.8 percent in February, its lowest level in four years.
The staffing industry is "a bellwether of the economy, particularly as demand goes up and down," said Christopher Stark, Kelly territory vice president in Detroit. "We are the first to ramp up as an economy comes out of a recessionary cycle, and we are the first to be impacted when a recession or a contraction ... takes place."
Sustained demand for flexible staffing and overall job-market improvements have helped propel earnings and revenue growth at Kelly, with the company seeing 2011 revenue of $5.6 billion that was up 12 percent from the previous year, and earnings that more than doubled to reach $63.7 million.
And Kelly's good fortunte isn't unique in Michigan these days. From energy to autos, pizza to pills, the ledgers of Michigan's big publicly traded companies look quite flush – some because of the economy, some in spite of it.
Auto suppliers draft behind Detroit Three
In manufacturing, there's been a "tempered renaissance" that shows up in both revenue and earnings growth, said David Sowerby, portfolio manager at Loomis, Sayles & Co. in Bloomfield HiIls.
Not only did the Detroit Three automakers -- Ford, General Motors and Chrysler -- post sales increases and profits in 2011, many of their suppliers surged ahead, too.
One is Auburn Hills-based BorgWarner Inc., which, in February, announced quarterly profits that reflected a 16 percent sales increase. For 2011, BorgWarner had net income of $550.1 million, compared with $377.4 million in 2010. Sales were up 26 percent to reach a record annual level of more than $7.1 billion.
The company, which supplies technologies that make powertrains more efficient, has said demand for its products such as gas and diesel engine turbochargers that increase fuel economy, transmission technology, engine timing systems and emissions products, is expected to drive strong growth.
BorgWarner expects $2.5 billion in new business for 2012 through 2014. Of the new business, most will come from overseas markets.
Dennis Johnson, chief investment officer at Comerica Asset Management Group inBirmingham, said the automotive parts industry is performing well.
"Coming out of the recession ... they recovered very strongly," he said. Johnson said that while auto parts companies nationally posted a profits growth rate of 42 percent over the three years from 2009 through 2011, Michigan companies exceeded those levels with growth rates in excess of 50 percent and some as high as 90 percent. He expects continued, but more modest, profit growth in 2012 and 2013, at rates of 12 percent to 13 percent.
On the west side of the state, Gentex Corp., another auto supplier, is going strong.
The Zeeland-based maker of automatic-dimming rearview mirrors and other products posted record financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2011, including annual net sales of more than $1 billion.
And the company has been in expansion mode. The latest projects, slated for completion this year: An approximately $9 million chemistry lab expansion at its Zeeland campus; an expansion of about $4 million to its exterior mirror manufacturing plant in Zeeland; an approximately $17 million expansion to its electronic assembly manufacturing plant inHolland; and an approximately $25 million expansion connecting two of its Zeeland manufacturing facilities.
Once completed, the projects are expected to generate 745 additional jobs at Gentex over three years, adding to Michigan's returning numbers of auto supply sector jobs.
From the depths of the recession in 2009 through 2011, motor vehicle parts manufacturing employment has climbed 11,300 or 13.9 percent. The sector is still nearly 30 percent below its pre-recession employment levels, state figures show.
Overall, manufacturing employment grew by 41,300 from 2009 to 2011, but the industry was still 112,700 jobs shy of the pre-recession level.
Utilities doing well
The economic upturn has benefited Michigan's two largest utilities, which have seen increased electricity sales. Jackson-based Consumers Energy Co. and Detroit Edison Co. also are seeing their parent companies, CMS Energy Corp. and DTE Energy Co., invest billions in utility operations -- spending that generates jobs via new emission controls and renewable energy installations, such as wind farms.
CMS had 2011 net income of $415 million and revenue of $6.5 billion, both up from 2010, and DTE reached 2011 earnings of $711 million and revenue of nearly $8.9 billion, also up.
Pizza proves profitable
Sales and profits also continue to rise at Domino's Pizza Inc., where 2011 results included same-store sales growth of 3.5 percent domestically and 6.8 percent international, and the addition of 413 international stores. For the year, Domino's had $105.4 million in net income and revenue of $1.6 billion.
Chris Brandon, Domino's manager of public relations and events, said the company has pushed success with its brand and its offerings, including new and revamped menu items in 2011.
He said the Ann Arbor-based company "felt the effects, just like everyone else" of the economic downturn but benefited by the 2009 introduction of a new pizza recipe and reinvention of its brand. "Those things really connected with consumers," he said. While not done because of the downturn, Brandon added, "we were able to overcome some of those headwinds."
Small city, big numbers
The right products -- and new ones -- have propelled Perrigo Co. in the small city of Allegan, south of Grand Rapids.
The manufacturer of over-the-counter and prescription pharmaceuticals and other products has seen growth largely driven by new product introductions. This year alone, Perrigo plans to launch more than 45 new products, which are expected to lead to more than $190 million in sales.
Perrigo is the world's largest maker of over-the-counter pharmaceutical products for the store brand market. Art Shannon, Perrigo vice president of investor relations and communications, said that when the economic downturn hit, "people had already started to go to store brands, and it definitely accelerated."
Shannon said retailers have greater profit margins on store-brand products and promote them heavily.
Perrigo, in February, posted record quarterly revenue and earnings, with a 17 percent sales increase over the fiscal 2011 second quarter driven by the July acquisitions and new product sales, including the April launch of fexofenadine, the store brand version of Allegra.
The company announced a few years ago plans to expand its Michigan operations and add 400 jobs in a variety of areas to accommodate growth and has been fulfilling those plans, including a new office building on its Allegan campus that is expected to be completed in January.
"We've been very fortunate in that we are in a very good area of the economy, where you have rising health-care costs, an aging population … and we're a quality, affordable alternative," said Shannon. "And people are obviously moving toward the store brands. We don't see that trend changing in the future. Even in an economic turnaround, people aren't going to pay more for the product they're using now."
Amy Lane is a former reporter for Crain's Detroit Business, where she covered utilities, state government and state business for many years.

From the SF Chronicle:
The human face of immigration raids in Bay Area: Arrests of parents can deeply traumatize children caught in the fray, experts argue:
...Victor and Elvira Mendoza were detained for weeks after agents arrived at their San Pablo home in January to serve a warrant for someone who didn't live there. The brother and sister had come to the Bay Area from Mexico in 2003 to be reunited with their parents, legal U.S. residents, whom they had last seen when Victor was 13 and Elvira 9. In a crackdown begun last May against illegal immigrants who ignored deportation orders, including convicted criminals, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested 18,149 people by Feb. 23.
Immigration agents arrested siblings Victor and Elvira Mendoza, 21 and 17, when it turned out the fugitive they were looking for no longer lived at the Mendozas' home. Officers detained 6-year-old U.S. citizen Kebin Reyes for 12 hours when they arrested his father as an illegal immigrant.
These and many other families across the Bay Area and the nation were turned upside down this year by Operation Return to Sender, a federal immigration crackdown begun last May. The raids focus on illegal immigrants who have ignored deportation orders, but 37 percent of the 18,149 people arrested nationwide through Feb. 23 were not wanted fugitives.
Mental health experts say the raids are traumatizing children. Legal scholars and public officials are raising constitutional questions about the way the raids are carried out and about their impact on communities as a whole. And immigrant advocates say changes in immigration law -- including tougher provisions enacted in 1996 -- leave little room for illegal immigrants to correct their status.
...The American Civil Liberties Union and the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights sued federal authorities in San Francisco on Thursday on behalf of Kebin Reyes, now 7, saying agents violated the child's civil rights when they took him into custody. Attorneys charge that the federal government violated Kebin's Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights to liberty and to being secure in his own home.
When agents arrested his father, Guatemalan-born Noe Reyes, on March 6, they would not allow him to call relatives who could take charge of Kebin and instead held the boy until an alarmed uncle heard about the arrest from neighbors, Noe Reyes and his lawyers said Thursday. "He went with his dad so he wouldn't be left home alone," said immigration agency spokeswoman Lori Haley. "We work with the families to find someone to take care of the child."
Noe Reyes, the boy's sole parent in the United States, who was released April 18, said Kebin has been fearful and withdrawn since the arrest and suffers recurring nightmares....
"Just because someone is Latino or has an accent doesn't mean an officer has reasonable suspicion they are undocumented," said Lawyer's Committee staff attorney Philip Hwang. "Even being in the household where one occupant is undocumented doesn't create reasonable suspicion, because there are legion mixed-status households."...Bay Area residents have said farewell to devoted parent volunteers, talented soccer coaches and close friends. Scores of Berkeley residents mourned the departure of Felipe and Norma Espinoza, who lived undocumented in the United States for two decades and built a much richer life for their three boys than they would have had in their hamlet in Michoacan, Mexico.
The Espinozas were placed in deportation proceedings before the current federal campaign. They hired a lawyer to try to gain legal residency, but the lawyer -- later disbarred -- didn't show up for court appearances after he took their money. In February, the couple told their sons to say goodbye to their classmates and pack their bags. The court had ordered them deported and the family returned to the two-room house where Felipe was born.
Felipe, a former steelworker, said in a phone interview that he hasn't yet found work, even as a field hand. Felipe Jr., 14, said he is studying math two years behind the geometry class he left at Berkeley High School and wishes he could return to the Bay Area, even without his parents.
Child psychology experts say children suffer most from the disruption of armed agents coming into their homes and taking away their parents -- and sometimes themselves. Children can experience stress, depression and anxiety disorders, said Amana Ayoub, a psychologist at the Center for Survivors of Torture, located in San Jose, who is familiar with Kebin Reyes' experience.
Psychiatrist Dr. Alicia Lieberman, director of the Child Trauma Research Project at UCSF, said children who witness their parents being taken into custody lose trust in their parents' ability to keep them safe and begin to see danger everywhere.
"Over and above the sense of terror about, 'What will happen to my mommy and daddy and what will happen to me?' the common thread is, 'We cannot trust the authorities,' " Lieberman said.
Many adults have responded the same way, said Evelyn Sanchez, advocacy coordinator with the Bay Area Immigrant Rights Coalition.
"We've been in touch with a lot of families that have been affected by the raids, and understandably they are scared," Sanchez said. "Being undocumented is no light matter anymore, and they are really taking cover."...Rocío Avila, a lawyer for La Raza Centro Legal in San Francisco, said an adult client of hers was detained during a raid even though he is a U.S. citizen.
"He attempted to let them know he was a U.S. citizen, and they didn't initially believe him," she said. "He asked, 'Who are you here to see? Do you have a warrant?' They handcuffed him immediately and put him on the floor."
The man, fearful of publicizing his name, is considering legal action.
Elizabeth Larose Dunn, who leads Marin Montessori School, said a sixth-grade student whose parents were arrested in immigration raids in March and did not want to be identified by name is a high achiever and "beloved in the school."
"This is America, a place we'd like to think all of our children are safe," she said. "I'm so sad about this on a personal level."

I have just had a lovely day making lovely beads with a lovely lady! If you've been thinking about having a go, get yourself booked in quick as I think Jo is going to be very busy. I was surprised that I made something that resembled a bead at my first attempt. I'm not quite set up at home yet and my Christmas wish list just got a lot longer! Thankyou so much Jo for a wonderful time. I am well and truly hooked and you will be seeing a lot of me!
Day of Lampwork Tuition
I just wanted to let you know I received the sculptures today. Oh my gosh!!! They are just beautiful. Exceeded all my expectations. They really look like a treasure that has been buried for centuries. I am not sure how you did it but they are just wonderful. Just looking at them makes me smile.
Glass Sculptures
Oh Jo - what am I going to do - we got the package today and this latest bead has to be the absolute BEST yet - and that means something because all of the other pieces that I have bought from you have been wonderful and stunning, but this................................words just cannot describe it. Oh Wow - it just looks like a real Dragon's Eye. When I got in from work my daughter had already opened her package and was sitting in the living room with a smug, happy and satisfied smile on her face so I started to open my package while we were chatting. When I saw the bead I was literally speechless and I think that I have had the same silly smile on my face since!!! It is just ridiculously beautiful and an absolute work of art - I really don't know how you were able to let it go!
Dragon's Eye
I cannot say enough good about Jo. She experimented with her materials at my request -- for free -- to see what the limits of her glass and methods would be, she held my goddess bead for 2 weeks -- for free -- and shipped it very quickly. It arrived lovingly packaged, intact, and just as lovely as the pictures. Her work will grace my altar always, and I look forward to other purchases of her inspired work. Thank you Jo!
Happy customer
Jo: I received the beautiful scarf pin today. I can't wait to wear it with my hand knit shawl which I made. They will be beautiful together. Thanks.

Scarf Pin
Dear Jo, Just a quick note to let you know the goddess has arrived safely, and intact. Thank you kindly for such quick turn-around, and secure packing. I ordered this particular goddess for my sister, who lives in the wilds of Oregon, in a rustic cabin,close to the sea. She has always been an "earth mother", and has been mentor, spirit guide, and teacher to me. I saw this goddess, and knew, immediately, that I must purchase her for my sister. This goddess is beautiful; she brought a catch to my throat, and I had to sit with her for moments, and simply stare at her rare beauty. Your gift is from God. I have never seen such a beautiful creation. I look forward to purusing your site, and to ordering my own goddess, when she speaks to me. Thanks once again, for sharing your incredible talent with the world. Lucky are we!

Actor Laura Benanti's appearances as Melania Trump impersonator have increased in frequency, and on the January 10 episode of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert Benanti again took on the role to answer questions about Fire and Fury.
The White House tell-all book by Michael Wolff dropped January 5. The President and many of his staffers vehemently oppose the contents of the book, and late-night host Colbert invited "Melania" to comment on the validity of some of its facts.
Benanti currently stars in Steve Martin's new comedy Meteor Shower on Broadway, alongside Amy Schumer, Keegan-Michael Key, and Jeremy Shamos. This past Sunday's matinee performance on January 7 was canceled as Benanti and Schumer had both called out ill.

(CBS News) The fight over the estate of popular artist Thomas Kinkade is going to court.
His mistress says she has two handwritten notes, proving she should be due millions.
A hearing on July 2 will determine whether those notes were actually written by Kinkade, who died in April at age 54.
"Painter of Light" Thomas Kinkade dies at 54
Squabble between Thomas Kinkade's wife, mistress heads to court
Kinkade painted for the masses, becoming the most commercially successful painter in the world. His paintings came off the presses like money, earning Kinkade an estimated $100 million a year before his death. His pastoral style holds the key, as he told "60 Minutes" back in 2002:
"Everyone can identify with a fragrant garden, with the beauty of sunset, with the quiet of nature, with a warm and cozy cottage," he said.
But it's the authenticity of the handwriting on letters that could decide who controls large portions of the late painter's mansion and fortune.
Amy Pinto-Walsh, Kinkade's girlfriend at the time of his death, went to court this week with two letters she claims Kinkade wrote before his death.
They allegedly leave her $10 million to establish a museum of Kinkade's original paintings; his mansion; and legal authority over $66 million from his estate.
Kinkade's estranged wife Nanette said she is the sole executor of his will and trust, and calls Pinto-Walsh a golddigger.
Journalist Julia Prodis Sulek, who's been covering this case for the San Jose Mercury News, told "CBS This Morning: Saturday" that because the matter will be handled in arbitration rather than in open court, some very sensitive issues will be decided behind closed doors - one issue being the medical directive.
The mistress, Sulek said, claims that the estate violated that: "She said that Thomas had given her - when he was sick in the hospital - medical directive over his medical issues as well as the disposition of his body should he die. The morning of his death, she said she wasn't given that authority, that people close to his family came in and took care of the body and, worse yet, banned her from the funeral. So that's one issue.
"The other is that the estate said she violated a confidentiality agreement. So she can't say anything and they say that if she were to talk, they fear that she would say horrible things that would defame him."
Celebrity divorce lawyer Raoul Felder said the letters on which Pinto-Walsh is basing her claims are "worthless."
"They've got to be in writing, they've got to be notarized, so none of this stuff is worth anything legally here, because it doesn't adhere to the statute of wills," Felder said. "It makes nice talk," he offered.
But Felder added that Kinkade's family made a mistake by bringing the matter to arbitration rather than a court. "The reason why the estate wants it confidential is because there's four daughters here and there may be a lot of garbage. But they made a tactical mistake, because they would be better off in court. In court the judge would throw it out. ... In arbitration, they're more lenient - people sit around the table and they're more friendly and may work out a settlement to the girlfriend."

Sight loss is a major global health problem. Many eye diseases can be treated effectively if they detected early, But the current imaging system needs highly trained experts. DeepMind, working with Moorfields Eye Hospital has developed a system using Artificial Intelligence to 'read' and interpret the results of optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans.
OCT produces a detailed map of the back of the eye, in 3D images. There's some info about OCT here and a normal OCT image below
Healthcare professionals at Moorfields have to go through over 1000 OCT scans a day at Moorfields. Which obviously takes lots of skilled time! The inevitable delays can cause sight loss.
This week, an Artificial Intelligence / OCT system was reported to be as good as, or even slightly better than, the best experts. There's a less technical write-up of the study here.The application of Artificial Intelligence to Optical Coherence Tomography is surely very welcome if it can prioritise those who need specialist clinical input – and so speed up vision-saving interventions. Happily, the initial results suggest this is the case.
Deep Mind are keen to sort out the 'black box' problem for clinicians understanding a new technology. What about the patients?
Can they be as exciting in their patient / community involvement?

Saint Rabulas of Samosata
Saint Rabulas was born in the Syrian city of Samosata and he received an excellent education. While still young, he became a monk and struggled in the deserts and on the mountains, following the example of the holy Prophet Elias (July 20) and Saint John the Baptist of the Lord (January 7, February 24, May 25, June 24, August 29, September 23, October 12).
Somewhat later, Saint Rabulas went to Phoenicia, where for a long while he lived in asceticism and was glorified by spiritual gifts. The emperor Zeno gave Saint Rabulas monetary help to build a monastery, built with the assistance of Bishop John of Beruit.
Around the new monastery lived many pagans, who were gradually converted to Christianity through the efforts of the monks. Under Xeno's successor Anastasius (491-518), Saint Rabulas came to Constantinople, and having received financial help from the emperor, he built several more monasteries in various places. One of them was named after the holy ascetic.
Saint Rabulas spent all his life at work, and he was gentle and kind and well-disposed towards people. He was also a man of great prayer. He lived to be eighty, and before his death he heard a voice: "Come unto Me all ye who labor and are heavy laden" (Mt. 11:28).
Saint Rabulas fell asleep in the Lord around the year 530 after a short illness.

How to Remove Phalaenopsis Plantlets
The lovely blossoms of Phalaenopsis orchids, commonly known as moth orchids, float above the leathery green leaves. Spectacular when in bloom, moth orchids are among the easiest orchids to grow for a beginning orchid enthusiast. They require bright, filtered light, 70 percent humidity, day temperatures of 75 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit and night temperatures of 60 to 65 degrees. Moth orchids occasionally produce plantlets, or keiki, on the spent flower spikes. Applying a keiki hormone paste to the flower spike encourages keiki growth. A keiki is easily removed from the parent plant, growing into a new orchid.
Snip off spent flower spikes after the blossoms have faded, 1 inch above the top node. Leave at least three nodes on the flower spike.
Apply a thin layer of keiki hormone paste to the nodes on the flower stem. The room temperature should be at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
Mist with water regularly to help maintain a high humidity around the orchid. Fertilize the orchid with a high-nitrogen orchid fertilizer while the keiki is developing.
Allow the keiki to develop for 14 to 26 weeks, until it has leaves and several 1- to 2-inch long roots.
Cut the flower spike 1 to 2 inches below the keiki with sharp scissors.
Place the keiki in a small flower pot, using bark medium to surround the roots. Water twice a week and fertilize with an orchid fertilizer diluted to half strength until the new orchid's leaves begin growing larger.
Things Needed
- Scissors
- Keiki hormone paste
- Spray bottle
- Orchid fertilizer, high-nitrogen formula
- Flower pot, 2-inch
- Bark medium
- Orchid fertilizer, standard formula
- A lumpy green mass may develop on the node. Normally these develop into several small keikis.
- A small fan circulates air amid your orchids, replicating their natural habitat high on a tree in a tropical rain forest.
- Keikis form naturally; the hormone paste only encourages keiki growth.

Just a MomPosted: May 11, 2013 Filed under: Wisdom 6 Comments
i always marvel at people that ask what my mom does for a living. i usually run a post for mothers day, but decided to change it up this year.
my family is VERY close. i'm sure if you've nosed around these parts for a while you can deduce that on your own. my mom is a SAHM. when people ask me what she does i tell them. then they ask, "no, what does she do for a living." *sigh* i know it's old school and sacrilege for a woman to lower herself to simply be a mother and housewife. OHNOEZ!!!!!!
i don't have kids. but i can tell you that i understand 100% how much work goes into raising a child. i know because my mother was involved with every aspect of my life. it wasn't until i started noticing girls did she start to allow me some privacy. i'm sure the mom's reading this know when their child reaches that point where she has to allow for mistakes and the child to be the individual they are.
i was the stereotypical "sticks and snails and puppy dog tails" american boy. i gave my mother at least 3-4 heart attacks a week. i climbed trees, played in dirt, rode bikes, played on roofs, played football, got hurt (A LOT), got bruised (A LOT), played in the woods and around the canal by Maw-Maw and Paw-Paw's house. i'm sure the parents reading are well acquainted to "what he did do now", when someone mentioned me. but in the end, my mother raised the man who's blog you're reading. she taught me basic game as a junior high skate rat. she stressed my thinking for myself and doing what i wanted to, NOT what other people THINK i should do. she taught me accountability, courage, justice, and most of all Catholic morality. be a good person, and look out for your fellow man if they are in need.
red pill woman raise the best children. FACT. so to all my red-pill moms out there-
Happy Mother's Day.
as a testament of how i MIGHT have developed such a twisted sense of humor, please allow me to share with you a song my mother taught me when i was a young boy.
"they built the ship titanic,
to sail the ocean blue,
and they said it was the first ship-that,
the water would never go through,
but on it's first trip,
and ice burg struck the ship,
it was sad how the great ship was sunk.
it was sad how the the great ship was sunk.
to the bottom of the,
husbands and wives,
little children lost their lives,
it was sad how the great ship was sunk."
thanks mom, such a lovely, cheerful song to teach a 6 year old. and she sang it in the joyful of voice. FML. lol.
Stay up.
as an added bonus i'll throw some food porn into the mix
the above reminded me of THIS. OH what i'd do to Debbie Diamond.
6 Comments on "Just a Mom"
Family? That's un-American!
I'm sure it's hard being the mother of a special-needs child.
[…] Just a Mom […]
I'd love to say that you have her smile…but how would one know?
happy colonial Mother's Day

Hiring The Best Contractor For Your Home Improvement Project
When you have made the decision to undertake a home improvement project, whether it's as complex as adding to your home or preparing to remodel your kitchen or bath, you will need to contact construction contractors in San Antonio. A construction contractor can make a world of difference; these companies have contacts with suppliers and sub-contractors, people and places that you might never find. Before you hire a construction contractor to take the reins and steer your project towards a successful conclusion there are a few things to take into account.
* Hire the right type of contractor: There are numerous contractors, not all do the same job. There are contractors that deal with concrete work, roofing, etc. If you are remodeling a room, perhaps the kitchen or bath or add to your house, then you will want construction contractors. Make sure the contractor is experienced in doing the work you want done.
* Insurance and bond: When you hire a bonded contractor you have recourse in the event the project was not completed. The contractor must have carry liability insurance in the event there is an accident or your home is damaged in some way. Always insist on seeing proof of insurance and bonding.
* Don't go by price alone: Obviously you will invite several construction contractors in San Antonio to make a proposal, don't let the bottom line be that which guides your choice. There has to be a reason for a ridiculously low quote; the contractor will use sub-standard material, use unskilled labor or install used equipment. To avoid a low-ball offer demand that the quotes be fully itemized, this gives you an opportunity to question the quote by line item.
The key to any project that you are doing around your home is communication. You want to work with a construction contract that listens to your concerns and suggestions and keeps you abreast of progress and any potential delays.
When you are looking for construction contractors in San Antonio you will want to work with a company that has developed an excellent reputation based on quality and commitment to service. You are invited to contact Shaw Company Remodeling.
