Best known role...
Injury-prone, uninformed reporter for Muppet News Flash
Famous quote...
"This is a Muppet News Flash!"
The Newsman is the hard working, often-injured, most likely incorrect reporter of wacky news stories on The Muppet Show. The formula for the Newsman's reports were fairly simple: Newsman reports something ridiculous, and said ridiculous thing falls on him or otherwise ruins the news report. For example, the Newsman reports that it is the first day of fishing season, a gunshot is heard, and fish fall onto his desk. More than a few times, the reports made by the Newsman lead to something falling on top of him, rather than just on top of his desk. The objects that have landed on the Newsman have ranged from a cow, the statue of Venus, a weight, a bowling ball, a boulder, and the S.S. Swinetrek.
The Newsman has appeared in four of the seven Muppet feature films, starting with The Muppet Movie where he appeared in the big crowd finale scene. In The Great Muppet Caper he reported on the "breaking news" of Kermit's date with Lady Holiday (details at 11). He sang a line in the song "Somebody's Getting Married" in The Muppets Take Manhattan, and he answered telephones at the Muppet Telethon in The Muppets. The Newsman also appeared in A Muppet Family Christmas, The Jim Henson Hour, and silent cameos in Muppets Tonight.
While feature films and other appearances mainly featured the Newsman when Jim Henson was performing him, he has also appeared a number of times after other performers took over. In 2001, the Newsman made his first post-Henson speaking appearance at The Muppet Show Live at the MuppetFest fan convention, where he was pelted with ping-pong balls, footballs, and a boulder. Two years later, his voice appeared in the video game Muppets Party Cruise during a mini-game. In both instances, the Newsman was performed by Brian Henson. Starting in 2008, Steve Whitmire took over the role of the Newsman, first in a video on Muppets.com. In 2009, he appeared briefly in the award-winning "Bohemian Rhapsody" viral video, The Muppets Kitchen with Cat Cora in 2010, and "The Muppet Show Theme Song" music video with OK Go in 2011.
The Newsman also made multiple appearances in The Muppet Show Comic Book and Muppet Robin Hood. An action figure of the Newsman was released by Palisades Toys as part of Series 5 of their Muppets action figure line. It is still his role on The Muppet Show, getting knocked on the head by countless objects while trying to report wacky news, that he is best known for.
The Newsman is one of the more one-note Muppet characters, with no real definitive personality (other than his utter frustration with the news he has to report), but he is still hilarious. The Muppet News Flash segments are some of the most popular on The Muppet Show, and always generate a laugh. You can't beat a good physical comedy bit like dropping a cow on a newscaster.

Will a hole cut into a metal disk expand or shrink when the disc is heated?
The metal disc of diameter D1 has a hole in it and the diameter of the hole is D2 (D2
Now, if I heat the metal disc, it expands. As far as I know, the metal expands along its free ends upon heating. In this case, the disc has got the scope to expand along both the inner and outer circumferences of the disc.
The question here is, in which way does the metal disc really expand and as a result, will the hole on the disc expand or contract. To put in other words, assuming the new diameter of the hole on the disc to be D3, will D3 be greater than, lesser than or equal to D2?

Seal of Honor
Non-member price: $34.76
Publisher's Summary
Lt. Michael Patrick Murphy, commander of Navy SEAL Team 10, posthumously received the Congressional Medal of Honor for his heroic actions on 28 June 2005 during a fierce battle with Taliban fighters in the remote mountains of eastern Afghanistan. Michael was the first recipient of the nation's highest military honor as a result of U.S. involvement in Afghanistan. He was also the first naval officer to earn the medal since the Vietnam War, and the first SEAL to be honored posthumously.
A young man of great character, he is the subject of Naval Special Warfare courses on leadership, and an Arleigh Burkeclass guided missile destroyer, naval base, school, post office, ball park, and hospital emergency room have all been named in his honor. In his best-selling book, Marcus Luttrell, the only survivor of Operation Red Wings, called Michael "the best officer I ever knew, an iron-souled warrior of colossal, almost unbelievable courage in the face of the enemy."
SEAL of Honor tells the story of Michael's life and how he came to be that man of selfless courage and honor. This biography argues that his heroic action during the deadly firefight with the Taliban revealed his true character and attempts to answer why Michael readily sacrificed his life for his comrades. SEAL of Honor is the story of a valiant young man who was recognized by his peers for his compassion and leadership, because he was guided by an extraordinary sense of duty and responsibility. Tracing Michael's journey from a seemingly ordinary life on New York's Long Island to that remote mountainside in Afghanistan, SEAL of Honor portrays how he came to the moment of extraordinary heroism that made him the most celebrated Medal of Honor recipient since WWII.
Moreover, the book brings the Afghan war back to the home front, focusing on the tight-knit Murphy family and the devastating effect his death had on them as they watched the story of Operation Red Wings unfold in the news. The book attempts to answer why Michael's service to his country and his comrades was a calling faithfully answered, a duty justly upheld, and a life, while all too short, well lived.

Not What I Expected, But Worth the Listen
Would you try another book from Gary Williams and/or A. T. Chandler?
I would not go out of my way to purchase because of the author or reader, but I also would not avoid a book by either.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
I am only 7 chapters into this book, but felt that I must review early to help others understand fully what this book is about. This book is a short biography of Lt. Murphy that ended in Afghanistan. I thought this book would be a detailing of the combat mission that took Lt. Murphy's life, and that will probably come at the end of the book, but this book starts very slowly detailing his life from birth. That detail moves slowly. It is important for reasons I will speak to below, but when you expect an intense story of combat that slowness can be disappointing.
In the end the fact that this is a biography is both the most interesting and least interesting aspect of this story if you understand the dichotomy of that statement.
Which scene was your favorite?
At this time it is the scene of chopping wood as Lt. Murphy starts his journey into the Navy.
What else would you have wanted to know about Gary Williams's life?
I think you mean Lt. Murphy's life here. As I have not yet finished yet I cannot answer this.
Any additional comments?
Lt. Murphy deserves to have his life honored and remembered. Since it is impossible to read the accounts of every military man and woman that has given their life, limb, mind in combat, Lt. Murphy's story stands as a representative for them all.
Once, I attended a lecture given by Rachel Miller, a Holocaust survivor. She lost her entire family to the ovens. At the end of her lecture she simply asked that we not forget her family. The same is true of Lt. Murphy, and every military man/woman. We must not forget them as they live on through those that remember them.
So I was disappointing that this book started slowly. Six chapters could easily have been condensed into one brief chapter, prologue, or even a paragraph. The more I listened, the more I wanted to test Audible's return policy. Then it occurred to me that listening to this book was honoring a man that literally died while protecting my family from harm. Once I understood that the slow biographical material came to life for me, and was a good listen.
I am also not a fan of 'perfection' biographies. These 'perfection' biographies lessen the humanity of the subject. It is a given that Lt. Murphy was a better man than I will ever be. That is a given, so help me see him as a real guy.
Of course, I was both motivated by Lt. Murphy's discipline, will, humility, leadership, physical ability, and intelligence, and depressed because in every way Lt. Murphy was a man that I can never be.

Not the typical story.
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. This is not the typical story written about a hero. This isn't James Bond or Rambo. LT Murphy is a hero not just because of his actions in battle. He is a hero because of the lives that he touched and how he impacted them. If you are looking for a battle heavy book this is not it. If you are looking to understand what makes a hero then get it.
Who was your favorite character and why?

first Medal of Honor winner in Afghanistan
Lt. Murphy, the leader of a Navy SEAL squad was killed during a fierce battle against the Taliban on a remote mountainside in the Kongeral Valley in Afghanistan on 28 June 2005. Lt Murphy was the first to receive the Medal of Honor for service in Afghanistan; he was also the first naval officer to receive the Medal since the Viet Nam War. The author tells the story of Murphy's life and how he came to be a SEAL. The book also goes into detail about the other members of the squad and the men that died on the rescue helicopter that was shot down while attempting to rescue them. The book provides some insight into the military person and their family. I think it is fantastic that the Navy has named a guided-missile destroyer and a naval base after Lt. Murphy. A.T. Chandler did a good job narrating the book.

Amazing American Patriot Story-Told Redundantly
Having had a Dad who was in one of the U.S. Navy's Special Forces, I have great respect for this man and the family that made him who he was. I am heart wrenched at the family's and friend's loss. This Navy SEAL is a true hero and American Patriot in every sense of the word.
The story is told by a writer that I think doesn't do the story of this SEAL or his family justice. The real story itself is bone chillingly frightening, and hold -your -breath suspenseful. The author tells the story in a redundant, wandering manner that was difficult for me to listen to with out the use of fast forward.
I don't know if the Murphy family approved the writing of this account. There isn't much first person information. Most of it seems to be gleaned from newspaper reports and interviews that the author read about.
I am truly sorry that Michael P. Murphy's story was not told by a better writer.

A Must Read for All Americans
What did you love best about Seal of Honor?
In my opinion Michael's story should be told to all Americans Middle School aged and up. As an educator for 16 years, I firmly believe the leadership and character that was displayed by Murph should be instilled in our youth of today. And as Americans we must never forget the sacrifices of Murph, his men, and others like him who protect our freedoms.

Great Story of what it takes to be the best
Would you listen to Seal of Honor again? Why?
I LOVED the first time listening to the book, but I would not listen to it a second time. Learning about 'Murph' was great. Knowing some of the amazing qualities and strength of this amazing man was inspiring. To learn everything that goes into making a NSW warrior is awe inspiring, but the book gets a little too detailed which causes you to lose focus due to all the acronyms.
What other book might you compare Seal of Honor to and why?
The Red Circle by Brandon Webb. They are very similar to the description and details pertaining to the NSW world.
Which character – as performed by A. T. Chandler – was your favorite?
All, A.T. Chandler does a great job of reading and has "The voice" for this book. You just can have anyone read you a story about our nations finest.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I was inspired through out the whole bool.

Inspiring life of a patriot
If you could sum up Seal of Honor in three words, what would they be?
Inspiring, humbling, thoughtful
What did you like best about this story?
Learning more about a man who made the ultimate sacrifice for his team and his country.
Which scene was your favorite?
No specific favorite
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Would have loved to listen in one sitting, but just didnt have the time.
Any additional comments?
If you want to learn about the sacrifices that our countries finest make to protect our way of life, this book is is a must listen. Thanks you for sharing the story of Mikes life.

Powerful and inspirational
The life of Michael P. Murphy speaks volumes to the character that is this American hero. True determination, humility, and valor are evident just a few words to describe him. The book provides a beautifully chilling portrait of this hero's life. It is an inspiration.

SINGAPORE, 6 June 2013 – After weeks of brainstorming and preparation, Night Safari's Art Seen & Herd! exhibition was officially unveiled to the public yesterday, in celebration of World Environment Day. Visitors to Night Safari were treated to a visual bonanza as four of Singapore's street artists unleashed wild artworks inspired by threatened animals to spread awareness about poaching and the dwindling wildlife population.
The four artists – Michael Ng ('Mindflyer'), Samantha Lo ('SKL0'), Luthfi Mustafah ('The Killer Gerbil') and Eman Jeman ('ClogTwo') – also shared the inspiration and ideas behind their works, as well as the conservation messages that they hope to convey to visitors. Animals featured in the exhibition are often hunted and farmed to feed continuing consumer demand for animal parts for use in traditional medicine, despite the presence of synthetic substitutes or there being no real evidence of the efficacy of these treatments.
Visitors can catch this free exhibition from now till 15 July 2013 at Night Safari's entrance plaza. To encourage students to learn more about the threats facing wildlife, Night Safari is offering a 50% discount on admission after 9pm from 1 June to 31 August 2013. The Art Seen & Herd! project also encourages students to take action by sharing information on the threats facing the animals and what they can do to save these species via popular social media platforms such as Instagram. More information on the contest and student discounts is available at www.nightsafari.com.sg
SAVE THE GAME by Eman Jeman ('ClogTwo')
Like a game, the fate of the Indian rhino results in a win or loss. Long regarded as a symbol of strength, the rhino horn is ironically the bane of the animal. Rhinos are hunted for their horns to be used in traditional medicine. In actual fact, the rhino's horn is made up of keratin, the exact same substance that our hair and nails are made of, and have no proven medical use.
So why not say NO to using animal parts? Save the game, save the rhinos.
PLIGHT NO MORE by Michael Ng ('Mindflyer')
A whimsical artwork with a message of hope and courage. A group of tiny spacemen are busy at work, trying to free a helpless Asiatic black bear from a bear bile farm by cutting off the chains and attaching wings to help it fly away to safety.
Imagine being trapped and housed in a tiny, restrictive 'crush cage', tortured by pain and insanity to get your bile juice extracted daily from a thick needle inserted into your abdomen, all in the name of 'traditional medicine'. This bile-drawing process is painful, stressful and cruel. Will you be able to bear with this?
Say NO to using animal parts and help keep their lives bearable.
TURN A BLIND EYE by Luthi Mustafah ('The Killer Gerbil')
With the endless hunt for their ivory tusks and loss of natural habitats through deforestation, Asian elephants are rapidly depleting in numbers.
In this interactive artwork, wooden blinds form the canvas representing the once sprawling woods the elephants inhabit. Turning the blind first reveals a cry for help for the elephants before ending with a solemn and dark ending for the elephant from the loss of its tusks and natural habitat. This is a grave reminder for us not to turn a blind eye to the dire state of the elephants. The ivory trade must stop and it must begin with us.
Say NO to buying ivory products and give these gentle giants a chance to live.
BAI SWEE by Samantha Lo ('SKL0')
'Bai Swee', in the Hokkien dialect, means 'only for show or display purposes'. Which leaves us to think, what is real anymore?
The once majestic Malayan tigers are now merely puppets of the human race. As their strength and dominance in this world wane, we can only see their former selves portrayed and kept alive by their human keepers. Here lies a grim reminder that we have to work harder to preserve what nature offers or soon we will only have soulless and empty shells of the Malayan tigers.
Many of these majestic felines have been hunted for their parts to be used in traditional medicine. Tiger parts, like any other animal parts, can be replaced by alternative formulas in traditional medicine.
Say NO to using animal parts and help keep these beautiful creatures living in the years to come.

The Pre-Raphaelite artworks that can be seen at National Museums Liverpool's art galleries are among the best in the world. You can find Pre-Raphaelite art at the Walker Art Gallery, Lady Lever Art Gallery and Sudley House.
The Pre-Raphaelite brotherhood was formed in London in 1848 by seven young artists dissatisfied with the standards prevailing in British Art. Its three chief members were William Holman Hunt (1829-1910), John Everett Millais (1829-96) and Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-82). They advocated an art of extreme 'truth to nature', which they understood in different ways. They painted in bright, hard colours with great attention to detail, and frequently chose high-minded moralistic subjects, loaded with symbolism. They called themselves Pre-Raphaelites because they admired the 'primitive' artists of the Italian renaissance, working before the period of Raphael.
Although their exhibited works, which include Millais' 'Isabella', were reviled on their first public exhibition, the group rapidly became popular and influential. Liverpool particularly established itself as a notable source of support in the mid-1850s when its Academy repeatedly awarded its annual prize to Pre-Raphaelite paintings. Liverpool became the only provincial town to have its own school of Pre-Raphaelite artists (The Liverpool Academy). Meanwhile, merchants and industrialists in the area often added Pre-Raphaelite pictures to their own collections and several of these have, over the years, found their way into our collections.
Iconic illustrative posters by one of the most influential artists of the Art Nouveau movement can be seen for a limited time at the Walker Art Gallery.
This full colour catalogue accompanying the 'Beauty and Rebellion' exhibition, presents new insights into Pre-Raphaelite painters and collectors.
Pre-Raphaelite artists often painted their landscapes while outdoors. They were concerned with 'truth to nature'.

Although my number theory is really weak, I'm trying to understand the notion of etale coverings in this context. I think this could provide a very interesting point of view.
Let $U$ be an open subscheme of $\textrm{Spec} \ \mathbf{Z}$. The complement of $U$ is a divisor $D$ on $\textrm{Spec} \ \mathbf{Z}$.
Q. Can we classify the etale coverings of $U$? (Say of a given degree...)
This is what I (think I) know.
Given a finite etale morphism $\pi:V\longrightarrow U$, the normalization of $X$ in the function field $L$ of $V$ is $\textrm{Spec} \ O_L$. This is a nontrivial fact, of course.
So, in view of the previous remark, can we also say what $V$ itself should be?
I'm guessing this has to do with the etale fundamental group $\pi_1(U)$. The latter is, I believe, finitely generated. I think that has to do with the fact that there are only finitely many ramified covers of a certain degree, right?
Of course, we can complicate things by replacing $\textrm{Spec} \ \mathbf{Z}$ by $\textrm{Spec} \ O_K$.
Example. Take $U= \textrm{Spec} \ \mathbf{Z} -\{ (2)\}$ and let $V\rightarrow U$ be an finite etale morphism. Suppose that $V$ is connected and that let $K$ be its function field. The normalization of $\textrm{Spec} \ \mathbf{Z}$ in $K$ is of course $O_K$. The extension $\mathbf{Z}\subset O_K$ is unramified outside $(2)$ and (possibly) ramified at $(2)$. Can one give a description of $V$ here?
EDIT. I just realized one can also ask themselves a similar question for $\mathbf{P}^1_{\mathbf{C}}$. Or even better, for any Riemann surface $X$.

Mel Gibson, (born 3 January 1956) is an American actor, film director, producer and screenwriter. I didn't know Mel was born in Peekskill, New York, and then moved with his parents to Sydney, Australia when he was 12 years old. I thought he was born in Australia. To continue, he later studied acting at the Australian National Institute of Dramatic Art. After appearing in the Mad Max and Lethal Weapon series, Gibson went on to direct and star in the Academy Award-winning Braveheart, which I have done the tutorial picture from. In 2004, he directed and produced The Passion of the Christ, a controversial yet successful film portraying the last hours in the life of Jesus (loved that movie. Not too long ago, Mel went on to make terrible accusations for which he apologized and denied that it wasn't he true opinions. This may have damaged his career for a bit, but I still love his movies. I hope you enjoy this tutorial. And please continue to comment, fav, and vote. Thank you everyone for your support! Love 'n hugs!

Say what?
Yup...cookies and compost equal some pretty darn yummy creations...especially when that creation is from the uber-renowned NYC restaurant Momofuku. Ok, so it's not really compost per se, but basically you take whatever you have on hand and throw it into this cookie.
This is actually the cookie that you saw my kids were sharing. That cookie was out of pure laziness since I ran out of room for the initial shaping & chilling stage of the cookie and dumped it into a bowl. I then proceeded to dump said bowl onto the cookie sheet & baked it as is. Yeah, I'm lazy a rebel like that.
For our cookies, I threw in chocolate, peanut butter, & butterscotch chips:
Ok, yes, that's quite normal...so here's where we make it interesting:
See that? That, my friends, is a melange of pretzels, Oreos, potato chips, & coffee grounds...and yes, it all goes in the cookies. I know I made my sister throw up a little in her mouth when I mentioned my add-ins. Whoops.
But, if you're a person who likes sweet & savory creations, give this a try! Christina Tosi, pastry chef of the Momofuku restaurants and David Chang, chef/owner/culinary bad-a$$ of the Momofuku restaurants serve this cookie in the Momofuku Milk Bar. His other Momofuku restaurant Momofuku Ssam Bar was named of the 50 Best Restaurants in the World. David has been nominated/won several James Beard awards over the years and was one of Times 100 Most Influential People for 2010...plus he's a DC native...whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. His cookbook Momofuku was released last fall.
My friend Linda, a fellow foodie and restaurant owner tipped me off to these bad boys. You can find the recipe here. Christina Tosi was on "Live with Regis & Kelly" showing how to make them. On that segment one of the things they used was Goldfish crackers...I'm adventurous, but I'm not sure I could use those. Anyhoo...if you have a stand mixer, you're in luck...'cause these bad boys need a total of 10 straight minutes of butter/sugar beating! Also, definitely follow the chilling time. I actually chilled mine at least overnight and even waited the 36 hours as recommended by Shirley Corriher when making cookies. Ooh and my last rec would be to use the coffee grounds (which I used fresh coffee grounds and I've seen as used, dry grounds)...they lend a depth to the cookie which is ridiculous!
Again, find the recipe here and ENJOY!

Having recently switched from iPhone to Nexus One, I have been really impressed by the functionality and ease of use. On a recent trip to Victoria, I decided to test out the new Navigation features of the Nexus One using the Car Dock. The Car Dock is available from Google or a number of other resellers. It keeps your device constantly charging and also turns the Nexus One into a speaker phone (legal in most states, provinces).
Here is the video of the recent test. There are also a few drawbacks. One wish is that the Bluetooth stayed connected while in the Car Dock. For some reason, as soon as the Car Dock mode is engaged, Bluetooth headsets no longer work. This can be annoying if you want to make a private call with other passengers in the car. Other than this minor nit, I give it a solid 10/10.

One of the orders of the day at Thursday's Republican gubernatorial debate for the three candidates — Bill Brady, Kirk Dillard and Dan Rutherford — who trail venture capitalist Bruce Rauner in the polls was to set themselves apart. And to some extent they tried to, playing up their experience, their legislative bona fides, their knowledge of the nuances of government.
With few exceptions, though — Dillard's reference to the "drip, drip, drip" of potential scandal was a glancing one at best — they stayed away from direct attacks on Rauner. Until after the television lights went off, that is.
Each candidate spent 10 minutes afterward talking to the media, and it wasn't until Dillard spoke — the last of the candidates, after Rauner had left the building — that he leveled his most serious attacks.
Those include noting that now-convicted Rod Blagojevich pal Stuart Levine voted to send $50 million pension business to Rauner's old firm, GTCR, at the same time he was working under contract with a company that GTCR had a minority stake in. And that GTCR's ownership of nursing home companies has been linked to abuse of residents and mismanagement from those put in charge who had no nursing home experience.
"People have died," Dillard said, holding up media reports and insisting that there's a cost to a "my-way-or-the-highway" approach common in the investment field.
(For the record, on that first claim Rauner's team notes that Levine was contracting for the company long before GTCR ever invested, and previously indicated in other reports that Rauner was unaware of Levine's contractual role.)
Dillard also alluded to concerns Rauner can't understand the concerns of average Illinoisans, with his multiple homes from Chicago to Winnetka to Montana and elsewhere.
"He's not going to be able to buy his 10th mansion" in Springfield, Dillard said.
But if this stuff is so important, why wait until the debate is over, until the guy is out of the building, to bring it all up? You always come up with your best comebacks once the argument is over, but this was not unintentional, as the visual aids attest.
Leaders confront problems straight on and speak bluntly. There are a lot of questions people are likely to have about someone like Rauner, who is new to public scrutiny. Candidates should raise those things when voters are paying attention, not play ring-and-run. (C.K.)
Well, it's legal
Just because something is unusual or appears shady doesn't mean it's against the law.
That's something critics of U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock — and for that matter, every other member of Congress — should keep in mind, and perhaps work to change, if "donor swapping" is that objectionable to the public.
Schock was among congressmen named last week in newspapers from New York to Peoria in stories about the practice. It appears to take advantage of a loophole in campaign finance law.
In 2010, the maximum legal donation an individual can give to a congressional candidate per election was $2,400. (Now, it's $2,600.) Including the general election and the primary, that amounted to $4,800. In donor swapping, a contributor who gave the maximum to Candidate A donates to Candidate B. Then, the Candidate B donor contributes an identical sum to Candidate A.
Apparently, this scenario took place with donors to Schock of Peoria and Michael Grimm of New York, a fellow Republican congressman. Neither representative has been accused of illegalities. But the FBI arrested a Houston woman who is alleged to have paid a donor $4,800.
"What you can't do is say, 'Hey, I'm going to give you five grand, now you make the donation,'" Schock said. "You can't give people money.
"If you want to make a donation, I can say, 'Hey, Michael Grimm is a great guy, Aaron Schock is a great guy.' That's what I do, and that's what many members of Congress do, many people in the political field."
Schock makes no secret of that tactic because it's legal. Both major political parties sponsor programs that foster it. The Democrats call it "Red to Blue." The Republicans call it "Young Guns."
Some people might call it a violation of the spirit of campaign finance law. That case can be made.
But donor swapping isn't going away unless a significant number of people are vexed enough about it to protest to their federal representatives. Given the level of apathy and low-information voting that seems to permeate our society, we're not holding our breath. (N.V.)
Redistricting dramatics
Schock toured the Madison Theater last week, in part to hype his support of tax credits designed to help offset the cost of renovating historic buildings.
The Downtown Peoria landmark, like most of the city south of War Memorial Drive, no longer is in Schock's district. The Madison is in the district of Cheri Bustos, a Democrat from East Moline.
Some who participated in Schock's tour wondered why Bustos wasn't there, too. Perhaps she was visiting an already-renovated downtown historic theater in her district, the Coronado. That facility is in Rockford, 140 miles north of Peoria.
Consider this Exhibit 1,395 regarding the absurdities of how political districts are assembled in Illinois. Bustos' district is drawn to favor a Democrat. Schock's district is drawn to favor a Republican.
In the process, many cities are dissected and diluted. Schock's district also includes portions of Bloomington, Normal and Springfield, for example.
"I have 205 towns in my district," Schock said. "Peoria is one of the towns in my district. It's also the town I grew up in. So regardless of what my friends in Springfield did to gerrymander my district, I'm obviously always looking out for central Illinois, particularly Peoria."
We also might suggest always looking out for those petitions circulated by activists who seek to change how redistricting in Illinois is conducted. They're trying to get the question on the November ballot. (N.V.)

Word on the Street: GOP candidates pull punches until after debate

I'm building a system that uses SharePoint lists to present forms to our website visitors, and these visitors can select a language preference for our website, so the form should be presented in that language. When I create my list, I'm specifying columns like "firstname" and "email", which of courses uses these as field labels on the form. I'd like to change "firstname" to be "Prénom" and "Adresse E-mail" when the form is viewed in French.
Is there a way that can I add C# code to a custom form for this list, so that I can locate and change the field labels?
If I had a text file (or something similar) could this be done with JavaScript instead? The preference is C#, as I already have code that gets the translations from another list, but if I have to use a non-C# method, than that might be OK.

Small Unmanned Aircraft Rule. Effective August 29, 2016, the Federal Aviation Administration (the "FAA") adopted the Small Unmanned Aircraft Rule (the "SUAR") regarding the commercial use of Small Unmanned Aircraft ("drones"). A primary purpose of GNR's Drone Policy is to ensure that Gloria Nilson & Co. Real Estates ("GNR"), its salespersons and its suppliers are, and remain, in compliance with the SUAR.
Notice to the drone operator. Use of a Small Unmanned Aircraft (a "drone") in furtherance of GNR's brokerage activities is prohibited, without a notice having been given to the drone operator (the "Operator") that the use of the drone must be in compliance with this Policy. The notice shall read, as follows:
"Notice to Providers of Drone Services"
Your undertaking to provide drone services for GNR or for a client or customer of GNR is subject to the following conditions, which conditions, as applicable to GNR, cannot be waived except by a written waiver signed by an officer of GNR. The Operator shall be in receipt of: (a) (i) a current remote pilot's certificate with a SUAR rating or (ii) a current pilot's license and have successfully completed the required training courses, and (b) liability insurance coverage in the minimum annual amounts of $500,000 / $1,000,000 for personal injury damages and $50,000 for property damage. If the drone services involve a third-party, e.g., a property owner, the written consent of the third-party must first be obtained before the services are performed.
In the event that personal injury or damage to property (other than damage to the drone) results from the operation of a drone while it is being used in furtherance of GNR's brokerage activities (an "incident"), the Operator shall report, in writing, the details of the incident to the person at GNR with whom the Operator was dealing within 2 days after learning of the incident.
