Wisconsin Technology Council discussing a 2014 summit for start-ups
The Wisconsin Technology Council and the state's economic development agency would organize a summit where major companies could connect with high-growth start-ups under a plan being discussed by the tech council's board of directors Tuesday.
The "Wisconsin Technology Summit," which could be held in early 2014, would connect major companies with the state's high-growth start-ups. A pre-summit meeting would be held this year where a smaller group of key technology leaders would gather to summarize the state's core technical competencies, identify trends, needs and technology clusters, and create a blueprint for the larger conference.
"This is a part of a maturation process for Wisconsin's tech-based economy. This would be the start of a conversation that probably takes place more routinely in other parts of the country where large companies and small companies are talking all the time," said Tom Still, president of the Wisconsin Technology Council. »Read Full Article

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Chris Culliver apologized Wednesday night for anti-gay remarks he made during a Super Bowl media day interview with comedian Artie Lange.
"The derogatory comments I made yesterday were a reflection of thoughts in my head, but they are not how I feel," Culliver said in a statement released by the team. "It has taken me seeing them in print to realize that they are hurtful and ugly. Those discriminating feelings are truly not in my heart. Further, I apologize to those who I have hurt and offended, and I pledge to learn and grow from this experience."
Culliver was being interviewed by Lange on Tuesday night when Lange asked him if there were gay players in the NFL.
"I don't do the gay guys man," Culliver said. "I don't do that."
Lange asked if he thought there were any gay players currently on the 49ers.
"No, we don't got no gay people on the team, they gotta get up out of here if they do. Can't be with that sweet stuff."
The 49ers also released a statement Wednesday:
"The San Francisco 49ers reject the comments that were made yesterday, and have addressed the matter with Chris. There is no place for discrimination within our organization at any level. We have and always will proudly support the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) community."

"Children love routines and they love to know what to expect out of their day," Clark said. "It is much easier on the entire family if everyone knows what they need to accomplish for that day."
The Night Before
Both Robertson and Clark said the best way to have a stress-free morning is to prepare the night before.
"You should wake up to nice relaxing morning where things are already done," Robertson said. "You don't want to be doing any business in the morning."
Robertson said all dried goods should be placed in lunches. Add refrigerated items quickly in the mornings.
Backpacks and briefcases should be by the front door with all homework done, papers signed and ready to go.
Any family discussion should also be had the night before, Robertson said.
"Children should not be trying to sell their parents wrapping paper for a fundraiser on the way to school," she said.
Clark said everyone should have their clothes picked out and set to go before they go to bed. This saves times and prevents arguments.
Clark said a great way to avoid those morning clothing arguments is to get an organizer that has spots for each day of the week. Children can pick out their clothes for the week and you can review them together.

Reception of applications for 2013 traineeships is closed
Click here to access your application, previously encoded between 1 June and 31 August 2012
Please remember that only your contact details (address, phone, …) can be modified in your application after the submission date.
Each year the General Secretariat of the Council offers some 80 paid traineeships lasting 5 months.
Traineeships are offered to EU nationals who, by the deadline for the lodging of applications, have completed at least the first cycle of a course of university studies evidenced by a degree certificate or equivalent.
There are two five-month traineeship periods, as follows:
Applications must be submitted between 1 June and 31 August of the year preceding the traineeship.
Applications for 2014 traineeships
The online application form will be accessible from 1 June 2013 to 31 August 2013
To avoid overloading the system, given the very large number of applications, you are advised not to wait until the last day before submitting your application.
Selection procedure
The Secretariat receives about 2 500 applications each year; unfortunately, there are only about 80 places available.
Applications registered will be examined between September and January.
If you are selected, you will be asked to supply the following supporting documents:
Any other optional document in support of your application for a traineeship – such as references, for example – can be included in your file.
These supporting documents do not need to be sent at this stage. You will be asked for them if we offer you a traineeship. You will not be admitted unless you supply the complete file.
Successful applicants will receive an offer by e-mail stating the period of their traineeship and the department to which they will be assigned. When they have accepted the offer, the Traineeships Office will send them a contract.
Not selected candidates will be informed by e-mail or via their Epso profile at the end of January.

Listed under communications from mayor, the item was skipped over following the approval of minutes from the Jan. 14 council meeting.
Council members voted on changing the mayor pro tem from Earl Gray to Louis Hamm at the Jan. 14 meeting, but the item was not listed on the agenda at the time. The motion passed with two votes, a majority of the three-member council. The charter stipulates the mayor pro tem can be changed with a majority vote at the first meeting in January. Yet because it was not on the agenda at the time, the council revisited the item at the second meeting in January.
"Earl Gray objected to it because it was not on the agenda," mayor Lynn Long said. "So we put it on the agenda."
During the most recent vote for mayor pro tem, Gray again voted in opposition. Placed on the agenda more as a formality than an actual vote, Gray again objected to the way it was presented.
"Is there a reason why it's not listed under new business?" said Gray about the mayor pro tem being listed in the communication from the mayor section of the agenda. To which Long responded, "It's my decision to put it on the agenda like that."
In other business, the council approved the proposal to issue a refund for water and sewer revenue bonds. City manager Ron Goulart explained the bonds were issued at a higher interest rate than is now being offered.
"This would represent a savings of $1 million," said Goulart.
The bond was taken out in 2009 with a principle amount of $11 million on capital projects for water and sewer. The remaining principle is about $10,210,000, said Goulart. The council unanimously agreed to refund the old bond with a new one bearing a lower interest rate.
Also listed under new business was the proposal to purchase a new police radio. At the start of the meeting, police chief David Eubanks introduced three new officers to the city council and public. The budgeted positions being filled led to the need for an additional radio.
"With the addition of three new employees I want an additional radio (to be used as backup in case one is being serviced)," Eubanks said. The cost of a new police radio is $3,748. The council unanimously approved the purchase. Next meeting: Fort Oglethorpe City Council will meet Monday, Feb. 11, at 6:30 p.m.

Agreeing with someone up there about a show for each hemisphere. People might claim that it would ruin the novelty/point of the super hardcoreness of it all... but pshaw. POOR COLLEGE STUDENTS. Seriously. (I mean, NY people don't even have to be hardcore other than to brave some camping. Haha. )
Also... two would mean more donations!
I vote for Texas (of course I'm biased), but if two were done the other would probably be in California, I'd assume. But Texas has good camping spots! And is just as hot as California!

Join the Conversation
Madonna W.Heating Up My Curling IronI used my iron once. It got hot. Turned on second time and won't get hot. Am I doing something wrong? The setting is turned up halfway, plugged into a good outlet and light comes on but won't heat up. Please help?!!!!!!Reply to this postDec 17, 2011Link to this post
IsabellaA Question About The Hot Tools Professional Marcel Curling IronHi, Um, What Is The Black Thing Supposed To Be Used For?"Reply to this postDec 16, 2010Link to this post
AnonymousHandleThe "black thing" is the iron's handle. It's not like the other curling iron's handles though. Rather than pushing the handle down and the clamp opening, this closes the clamp and holds the hair in. I prefer this iron more than the other one. Hope this helped!Feb 19, 2012Link to this post
ConnieHow Do I Use This??i dont know how to operate it, is the wand suppose to be locked or loose? How do you keep a grip on your hair without it being spring loaded?Reply to this postSep 27, 2010Link to this post
CindyBoulder, COMarcel ?This iron is more for professionals who are trained to rotate and open and close the iron at the same time while winding. If you start at the base to curl then wind down and not burn the ends while you are trying to curl the scalp areaMar 24, 2012Link to this post
Amber F.FLRe: How Do I Use This?To use this iron, which is generally used by professionals, you would clamp on to hair and spiral upward holding the handle down with your fingers. It takes practice and a flick of the wrist. Don't worry you'll get it.Dec 10, 2010Link to this post

JazminHow To Use The Wandi bought this recently and i dont know how to operate it, is the wand suppose to be locked or loose? will some one give me some tips on how this works please =(Reply to this postFeb 25, 2010Link to this post
Kyleigh S.TipsHi! Okay its kinda hard to explain but I own the 1inch and am about to buy the bigger two. I love this iron so much and use it daily!!
Now if its "locked" it basically doesnt the same thing as a regular curling iron..but in a more inconvenient way.
So the benefit of having it "unlocked" is not having a spring on the clamp so you dont get "dents" and more natural looking curls. My hairstylist has the same exact one so after her showing me how to use it I found it on folica.com. Professionals are taught to use this kind for more control, more natural look, and faster results. Once your good you can do it one handed!
So you want to take a section and start in the middle and roll the iron up once and pull down a little then roll up again and pull through a little..etc. This probably makes no sense so I reccomend watching a youtube video on marcel curling or asking a pro! But trust me..it really does work so much better so dont give up yet!Aug 9, 2011Link to this post

Yea, that's a good idea. I never did care for the minstrel class anyway. But I'm curious -- does shared class work across servers? The LoTRO page on shared stash says per account, so I assume it would be accessible by any of my toons regardless of server.
Holy crap. I logged on to Landroval for probably the first time in two years last night and found my hunter I'd abandoned there was actually level 30. When did I do that? And I gave him the scholar crafting? Why? Oh that's right, my first guy and I had zero clue what I was doing. (not that I did any better with my main on Nimrodel - an RK with Weaponsmithing as my main crafting skill. Very useless for him, but good for my alts!)
If you ever get the chance, give the class another try. Especially if your experience with it is from the first year. It's been overhauled quite a bit and has become my main toon to play. Great ranged dps once you trait Call to War and warrior-skald class traits. Edit: Oh, forgot to mention, the whole stacking of tiered ballads to hit anthems (or higher tiered ballads) has been gone for over a year. Very nice change to how playing the class feels.
Although you can only share items on a given server, the existence of the shared stash works across all servers. So if (say) you have already bought 5 shared stash upgrades while on Nimrodel, and thus have 50 slots in your shared stash, when you create your first character on Landroval, that character will have a (completely empty) shared stash with 50 slots in it.
Oh, right.l I was reading in a hurry and thought that he was talking about actually moving items across servers.
Thanks for clarifying. You were correct, that is what I meant. But now I get it. Thanks for your answer as wel!
Well, Turbine's update yesterday ended the Durchest farming for tarnished symbols. Fortunately I did it 3x Tue night and got one and a Riddermark crystal that adds a major legacy to LIs. My mini is sloooowly working thru the Hytbold rebuild grind, I now have 4 warrior-skald armor pieces and her Will is 2290 unbuffed.
I never understood grinding that stuff. My technique has always been "Wait a year, and then the shitty base armor from the expansion pack will be better than the stuff you got from grinding at the high end last year." But, I also don't get raiding generally. I play pretty much only for plot.
You guys are making me at least update this; no idea if I'll actually fire it up, but I'm definitely considering it. Landroval, is it? One (most likely) elven hunter, incoming to Landroval. My main's a Captain on ... somewhere. Wherever the original QT3 guild was. I'm thinking it was NOT Landroval, but I don't remember. Either way, $25 is pretty ridiculous for a database move that (I know because I've seen it in action) takes approximately 2 minutes.
Yep, that is it. Just logged in ... oh wow, Last Logged In: 1 year ago. Welp. :P I'm going to see how far I've gotten on my hunter, then start a new one on Landroval, then. Just as well; I don't remember a single thing that I was doing back then.
I will join a few of you on Landroval some time. If Dark Souls will ever release it's grasp on me that is....
If anyone wants an invite to the Company of the Broken Forge, just let me know. There is also a guild group in the Social Groups area.
I have made an Elf Hunter from Mirkwood. In case this is a flash in the pan for me (as it often is) I will not clutter up the Fellowship roster. :P :D I'll check back in a week and see if it took.
I'd love to get back to LOTRO and hang out, but I'd rather not transfer servers or start over yet again, alas (all of mine are on Imladris). Ah well, I'm being kept busy managing bees in Minecraft anyway. So many bees...
I may eventually come back because I enjoyed the zany adventures Halibut and I had with our warden/hunter combo but my time is a bit more compressed lately and with Mr. Pants and I getting our Jedi on I don't have time for a second MMO. Once we've exhausted that one I will probably head back to Middle-earth. I'll still make a token (Tolkien?) character on Landroval, though, because making characters is what I do.
Seen On Landroval: 'They're taking the chickens to Isengard! Join our band of renegade chicken and chicken-protectors at Sandsons farm for the great chicken migration of 3018, we will be running hard across Eriador to the south to overthrow Sanders of Many Colors! The greatest chicken run of 2013 is going to take place, and you can join in! Be a chicken and run along or be a guard ( level 75+ ) as we Clear a path for the chickens! Starting at 8:20pm est! Please get there around 8PM and make ready for the journey!'
Awwww man! If you had done this Sunday I would have been able to be there! This sort of thing is always fun. Saruman won't know what hit him! In other news, fried chicken is the special at Ogric's Orcish Diner tonight...
I stopped playing shortly after I maxed out my two characters in Mirkwood. Then about two weeks ago I went insane and bought a 3 month VIP sub, and both Isengard and Rohan. I've powered my hunter from 65 to 80, left my mini to rot in the meantime, and I hope I didn't already burn myself out. They really took hunters down a notch survivability wise, gee whiz shucks. And I'm on Silverlode, which does no one here any good at all.
My hunter was originally my main but after the nerfs of 08 and 09 I found myself playing the game's uber ranged dps class: the minstrel. But I just took my hunter from 65 to 75 this past week, and I don't think his survivability is bad at all. He still can't lay out the dmg my minstrel can, but if you use all your skills (chants, oils, traps), I think the hunter is fine. He's only died once going through Dunland, and that's because I forgot about both hobbit silence and desperate flight. The big thing that really helps is those breach chants that reduce physical resistance; use those and get your physical mastery and crit rating up as high as you can and you'll see a big uptick in dmg.
I'd heard hunters are real beasts on their war mounts. Not that you can be on horseback at all times. My toon has close to 8k morale and over 3k power, but I see a lot of hunters in their mid-70s with less than 4k. Grouped with a 75 hunter when I was 72 and pulled agro on every single mob for the hour we ran around together. Probably the benefit of having other toons and a stash of gold for better equipment. Edit: should also mention I'm thoroughly addicted to the use of fire-oil. Something about the visual/aural feedback the game gives from its use that's extremely satisfying.
I'm pushing 9k at level 80 and 4k power, but yeah fire-oil. Playing kin-less and with Silverlode's distinct lack of AH usage I don't have much fire-oil unless I go buy the hunter trainer kind (if you can even still do that). I'd rather not level a scholar but it's starting to look almost necessary.
Well, my hunter is now 80th, is questing in the Norcrofts, and most mobs are still dying before they reach me. Here's my standard pull: 1) breach-finder chant and fire/light oil are applied most of the time 2) get within range of mob(s) - set a trap/snare if more than one mob 3) hit improved focus (+25% crit chance/dmg for 5 sec) and then Hunter's Art (+5% ranged dmg) 4) fire improved quick shot (slows mob) and then penetrating shot before 5 seconds expire, followed by swift bow and another penetrating shot 5) this usually kills the mobs, but if I didn't crit much and they have 2K+ morale left, I hit them with dazing blow for a 5sec daze and let swift bow's cooldown expire and hit them with it again. This is all in strength stance with heavy Bowmaster class traits slotted. My finesse is roughly 4k, crit hit is 6k, and physical mastery is a little over 16k.
Yep this is pretty much how I pull. I might vary the swift bow and penetrating shots but it works out the same. I'm wondering how you fare on your war-steed or in solo skirmishes? Because I am terrible with both, but excellent on foot in the landscape.
To be honest, my hunter doesn't feel nearly as powerful as my min when mounted, though in fairness I have a lousy saddle right now. But I can bring down mobs fairly quickly, so no problems so far.
I suck at being a hunter. give me more tips. I can kill things 1/1, but if more than one attack me i'm screwed.
Dazing blow, the melee stun attack, and bard's arrow are key cc tools for a hunter. And distracting shot. Bard's arrow might be a legendary trait, can't remember off-hand, but if you don't have it slotted do it. It has a quick cooldown. And if you know you're going to be more than 1 mob from a pull, set a snare/trap first, and if fighting animals use your fear shout (can't remember the skill name, it's been shift-8 for me for almost 6 years now). Use draw from the earth between fights to help keep your morale/power up. And don't concentrate too much on morale if doing so is making you forego your crit and physical mastery #s. Get those as high as you reasonably can. My quick/penetrating shots I start most fights off with probably average 3-4k in dmg and they crit quite a bit with improved focus active. So there goes half the mob's morale before it knows it's in a fight.
How did the chicken run go? Anybody else remember the April Fool's day "prank" pulled by Turbine where one hit point chicken characters where allowed to spawn into the PvP region? The servers where long crashed and the event terminated before I even knew it was happening, but a friend managed to log in and have a blast. Something about player character wargs chasing player character chickens... Good times.
I need some help guys. There's this glitch that sends me pinwheeling or like, the camera pans around 360 degrees which makes moving forward moving in a circle and the only way I get out of it is by exiting the game. Which, yeah. Also the notice I get upon re-entering is that the support request failed to send. So. Is this a thing I did wrong with assigning keys or a known problem w/patch?
Do.. do you have your target lock on by any chance? Tap X to toggle it. Otherwise, I have no clue, but I haven't been in game since latest patch.
Oh, yeah I might've. I'll try that, thanks! Edit to add that a sibling kinter keymashed the board when I was ingame so...this could be it. Just tried that and no dice. It did something, but I still kept spinning around. Argh! /just exited again because it happened (at least three times today fffffffff)
It actually sounds like you might have a stuck key on your keyboard or mouse. Maybe one of the arrows or shift key? You don't have a joystick plugged in do you? See if alt-tabbing to windows and back corrects it also...
People in glff on Nimrodel were talking about some major changes Turbine currently has up on the test server. The main griping seemed to be that fate is going to be changed to become the statistic that determines your toon's crit chances regardless of class. So my hunter, who's sporting 1300 agility and crits like a mofo, but only has 101 fate, is going to take a nasty hit to his effective dps. Turbine has amazing timing when it comes to me and the hunter class. Other changes are supposedly pretty major overhauls to the various Hytbold armor sets. This could be good, or it could be bad. I'm hoping the former since my mini just completed her armor today.
They're also redoing most agility armor to add fate to it. I wouldn't worry too much. Actually the way I read it was that hunters will still get crit from agility but even more when they add fate. Still wouldn't worry.
So I am back on nimrodel playing a fun hobbit burglar(level 20). Are people still playing low level swag like the barrows, or should I look to find public groups?
A few weeks ago I created a hobbit guardian and got him to level 25 or so. Found a barrows group, but probably due to sheer luck. Server pop on Nimrodel is so spotty compared to some of the others that it's just a matter of chance. You're liable to find a one or two higher levels just banging out deeds that you can open tap mobs with if you follow them around. My 82 hunter did that with a 81 warden last night in Thornehope, an area I didn't feel like solo-ing. We didn't fellie, but you get credit for the mobs if you touch them.

Sixers' Collins puts Holiday in spotlight (With Video)
PHILADELPHIA — Possession after possession, Jrue Holiday had the ball in his hands. And when he didn't, it was because he had distributed it to someone else.
Three sessions into training camp, the 76ers already have seen enough out of Holiday to declare him a star. Well, that's how assistant coach Brian James put it anyway.
With de facto scorer Andrew Bynum reduced to spectator mode at camp, Sixers coach Doug Collins has made it clear that he will allow Holiday to be the focus of the team's offense.
"Doug made some wrinkle changes already with his adjustments and what we're doing offensively, especially with our early offense," James said Wednesday, following the team's evening session at Saint Joseph's University. "We're going to put the ball in Jrue Holiday's hands a little bit more.
"If he's going to be one of our stars, or our star, or one of the elite point guards, not only on our team but in the NBA, he's got to have the ball in his hands a little bit more, Doug feels."
That explains why the Sixers allowed Evan Turner to relinquish his ball-handling duties in transition Wednesday night, and instead focus on making plays off the ball. Turner contributed a number of secondary passes during the team's scrimmage, converting touches at the high post into points on the low block for Spencer Hawes.
With Bynum only a few days into his three-week break from basketball activities, James made it sound as though the Sixers will spend these precious moments without their 7-footer working on improving their perimeter game. That's not to say they'll ignore the post. Rather, they're hoping to get some cohesion among the guys on the wing.
James said the Sixers are "experimenting some" with the pieces they have, seeing how Jason Richardson and Nick Young adjust with Holiday as the primary ballhandler.
l l l Continued...
The Sixers got schooled Wednesday, raising their hands and asking for a little one-on-one with their coaches.
"We spent an extra hour before practice actually started where anybody that wanted extra help on any phase of their game. Obviously, we're really good at player development, I feel, with our offense," James said. "And we're going to continue that, and that's not just for the young guys. It's for the new guys who are new to our team. Yet we had Xavier Silas there who was with our team last year. Just a refresher course."
James said they "probably had 10, 12 guys" take part in the exercise. "Everybody but our starting five," he said.
l l l
NOTES: Dorell Wright, who's been playing on the second unit, has been turning heads. "When he's got an open 3-point shot, everybody's surprised when it doesn't go in," James said. ... Richardson, only in his fourth year, has shown flashes of veteran savvy. "He got our team together and said, 'Stay off the officials. We're talking ... to the officials too much during the drills,'" James said. "Right now, even though he's new to the Sixers, we're learning from him due to his experience." ... The Sixers have a two-a-day schedule for today.

Growth and Employment
Job creation and economic growth on a national as well as on EU level are the major tasks of European politics. Facing the huge challenges Europe has to deal with – the actual global economic situation, unemployment, ageing of the population, increase of global competition and faster technological change – determined and common action of the European Union is an absolute necessity.
After finalizing the "Lisbon Strategy" in the year 2000 and its termination in 2010 the European Council of June 17, has adopted a new EU-strategy on growth and employment "Europe 2020". Therefore it has been agreed on targets at EU-level such as research and development, energy and climate protection, education and social inclusion:
- Increase of the employment rate of the population aged between 20 and 64 up to 75%
- Increase of investments in research and development up to 3% of GDP
- Preservation of the EU climate targets (reducing green house gas emissions by 20%, increasing the share of renewable energy sources up to 20%, increase in energy efficiency up to 20%)
- Enhancement of the educational level by reducing the rate of early school leavers to 10% and increasing the share of population aged 30-34 having completed tertiary or equivalent education to 40%
- Promotion of social rehabilitation especially by poverty reduction, intending to lift 20 million of people out of poverty and social exclusion
In consideration of these EU-wide targets member states will determine national targets in dialogue with the European Commission.
The European Council is going to evaluate annually the implementation of the strategy; furthermore there will be regular debates of the European Council on the most relevant issues of the Europe 2020 strategy, as on research and development in October 2010 and energy policy at the beginning of 2011.

When Nelson Mandela was released from prison in February 1990, where he'd spent more than 27 years for fighting racial segregation, the South African leader knew exactly who he wanted to become his official photographer: Peter Magubane.
"I became his photographer the next day he got home," remembers award-winning Magubane. "He told the ANC [African National Congress] guys, 'this is the guy I want' -- I was the happiest man."
Mandela's choice wasn't a surprise; Magubane, who had already photographed several milestones in Mandela's life, including his early days as a political activist in the 1950s, was renowned for his impressive body of work chronicling the cruelties of apartheid.
And, like Mandela, Magubane had also faced the wrath of South Africa's oppressive regime. In 1969, Magubane was detained and kept in solitary confinement for 586 consecutive days. Later on, he was banned from working as a photographer for five years and sent to prison again for breaking the banning orders.
"I told myself, there is no one that is going to tell me what to do," says Magubane. "I had prepared to die for what I'm doing because I'm not stealing anything," he adds. "I am prepared to face the guns. I'm prepared to face police, any gangster, whether black or white. I'm not going to be told not to do my work."
Magubane's long and acclaimed career started some six decades ago at the legendary Drum magazine, a Johannesburg publication that became a platform for talented writers and photographers, depicting a vibrant black urban culture in white-dominated South Africa.
Magubane started as a driver but was eventually promoted to the dark room and then the field. With his camera on hand, he went on to snap some of the most defining images of the anti-apartheid struggle -- from the treason trials in the 1950s to the youth uprising in Soweto in 1976.
Undeterred by threats, bans and prison, Magubane's defiant spirit shaped his work in the field. His refusal to put down his camera meant that he'd often have to get creative to bamboozle authorities.
"I'd buy half a loaf of bread, cut the inside of the bread, and put the camera in there," Magubane says. "I'd go around taking pictures." And if a policeman appeared ... "I'm eating bread."
The committed photographer, who also went on to work for the Rand Daily Mail and Time Magazine, has won several awards for his iconic images that resonate to this day. He has held exhibitions across the world, published 17 books and received seven honorary degrees.
