- Silversea News: Silversea's Silver Muse Completes Sea Trials
Silversea Cruises Fleet (9)
Silversea's elegant ships are of several different sizes but of one class -- all-suite, all-inclusive, all-frills-all-the-time vessels. Silver Cloud and Silver Wind, each at 16,800 tons, are roomy, intimate vessels. Each carries 296 passengers. The passenger/space ratio on these ships is among the industry's highest. Silver Shadow and Silver Whisper, at 28,258 tons apiece, each carry 382 passengers, and they've taken the company's passenger/space measure to even greater heights.
Each of the four vessels is the result of the work of two Italian shipyards. The hulls were laid in the Francesco Visentini yard near Trieste, after which they were floated and towed to their final outfitting in the T. Mariotti yard in Genoa. All were designed by the Oslo-based marine architect team of Petter Yran and Bjorn Storbraaten. The ships' officers are Italian, and the service staff is international, mainly from the Philippines.
Because of the restrictions imposed by their size, the smaller ships are light on entertainment opportunities. The ships are too small to have significant theater facilities. The two later vessels, however, include rooms in which more extravagant entertainment can be presented.
Silver Spirit, launched in December 2009, was Silversea's first new-build since 2001. The 540-passenger vessel offers 270 oceanview cabins, and all but 12 have balconies. The ship also boasts a supper club-style specialty restaurant. Diners can enjoy gourmet cuisine and jazz in an intimate, clublike setting and show off their fancy footwork between courses.
Silver Muse, which will launch in April 2017 will be based on the same design as Silver Spirit, according to the line, although the ship will be slightly bigger at 596 passengers.
Silversea also has an expedition fleet, currently consisting of three ships. Silver Explorer, built in 1989, is of quite another breed. It's the first vessel not custom-built for the line, although an extreme makeover in 2008 brought its style somewhat closer to that of Silversea's other ships. The 6,062-ton vessel carries just 132 passengers in 66 oceanview cabins. It offers all the amenities of a luxury ship -- spa, elegant dining room, flat-screen TVs -- but also has an ice-rated hull and carries eight Zodiac vessels for up-close explorations.
The second expedition ship, Silver Galapagos, underwent an extensive interior makeover, and the 20-year-old, 100-passenger vessel cruises the Galapagos under the Silversea banner.
In March 2014, 5,218-ton, 128-passenger Silver Discoverer -- the former Clipper Odyssey -- joined the fleet following an extensive refurbishment. It sails the far-flung regions of the globe, including Polynesia, Micronesia, Melanesia, the Russian Far East and the Kimberley, Western Australia.

About Silversea Cruises
In April 1994, a luxurious, all-suite ship -- small by the prevailing standards of the day at just 16,800 tons -- made its debut in the Mediterranean. It was 296-passenger Silver Cloud, the first of what has become a fleet of five Silversea Cruises vessels (along with three expedition ships). Within a year, twin Silver Wind followed, and the company figured that the smartest thing to do with their luxury concept was create more of the same -- but bigger. Silver Shadow (September 2000) and Silver Whisper (June 2001) are, essentially, enlarged versions of those two earlier ships, each at 7,200 tons more, with the capacity to carry almost an additional 100 passengers apiece.
In 2008, Silversea expanded into the luxury expedition market. It purchased a pre-owned expedition ship and upgraded it to the line's high standards of comfort and luxury. The 132-passenger, Silver Explorer was named in June 2008 and offers more rugged itineraries than its sister ships. (Think Arctic and Antarctic voyages and Serengeti of Western Africa.) It features up-close and personal wildlife adventures with frequent Zodiac boat expeditions. Yet it's a true Silversea ship, with an all-inclusive price plan, spacious cabins and high-quality service. In 2013, the line added Silver Galapagos, a 100-passenger ship that is stationed year-round in Darwin's favorite destination. And in March 2014, a third expedition ship, Silver Discoverer, joined the fleet, plying the waters on far-flung itineraries like Micronesia, Polynesia, Melonesia, the Russian Far East, and Australia and New Zealand. A fleet of Zodiacs allows exploration on this unique vessel, with a glass-bottom boat, snorkeling and a dive program.
Silversea has also added tonnage through new-building. In December 2009, the line launched 540-passenger, all-suite Silver Spirit, and in 2017 the line will launch the similarly-designed 596-passenger Silver Muse.
Owned by the Lefebvre family of Rome (former owners of Sitmar Cruises), Silversea has shown clearly that it belongs with the best of them in the ultra-luxury cruise market. Though it's an expensive product on paper -- all luxury cruise vacations are -- it's important to look at what's included. Silversea's all-inclusive pricing offers passengers great value for their money. Butler service, gratuities, port charges and alcoholic beverages (including wine at lunch and dinner) are folded into the cost of each cruise. In addition, there's a complimentary, shoreside Silversea experience on selected voyages. Options include visits to the Hermitage in St. Petersburg after closing time; concerts in Ephesus, Turkey; and beach parties in the Caribbean and Seychelles.
Silversea fosters an upscale, yet casual atmosphere with roomy public spaces that provide larger-than-average spaces for passengers. Expect stellar service and no waiting in line for meals or activities. Extraordinary dining experiences are offered on all Silversea vessels, with wine generously poured at meals. The all-inclusive policy, which covers gratuities and unlimited beverages -- wine, liquor, beer and soft drinks (except truly premium brands) -- is appealing.
There are lecturers on virtually all cruises, offering insights into the lives and cultures of the people of the destinations visited. There are sometimes a bridge instructor and a golf pro who offers lessons at the practice nets on each ship. But, partly as a function of size and relatively low passenger capacity, there are few major educational opportunities on Silversea vessels. Each has a well-stocked library, a Steiner-managed spa and fitness center.
Meals are served open seating in the main dining room, with lunch available between noon and 1:30 p.m. and dinner at any time between 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Alternative evening dining is available in La Terrazza at 7 p.m. (reservations required) and in the small, upscale (even by Silversea standards) Le Champagne -- again, reservations only -- between 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. La Terrazza is free; to eat in Le Champagne, there's a $200/$30 charge, depending on the dining option you choose. (Yes, that's $200 for a multicourse degustation menu that includes wine pairings.)
As there are no organized children's programs, the ships are inappropriate for most families with young kids.
Fellow Passengers
Silversea passengers are affluent and then some. They are heavily skewed to professional types, and they're generally -- as on most small luxury cruise ships -- somewhat older than those found on larger, mainstream ships.
In terms of nationality, usually about 50 percent are from North America, with the other half coming from all over the world (predominately the U.K., Europe and Australia). Many passengers are retirees with the leisure and the resources to make Silversea their cruise line of choice.
Perhaps because they have the space for more facilities (an expanded spa, a cigar bar, a wine bar and a computer center, not to mention a bigger, better-equipped show lounge), Silver Shadow and Silver Whisper attract a somewhat younger crowd, but it's still not a line for the 20- and 30-something set.

I was watching TV and couldn't find it with the antenna
I was reading
I was thinking about food
Gosh, I'm such a. Independent Spirit,…
Sandy, you're going out already?? I've had enough episodes of Cell Block: 6. Trying to figure out how to watch True Detective online if I don't have HBO.
Lupita won, btw. And Brad and Angie look hot as hell.ReplyCancel
Better watch out, this Lupita worship is very J Lawrence last year..
And we know how that is lasting.. :-\
Did you figure out the True Detective hook up?ReplyCancel
Is it over?ReplyCancel
Yes I'm headed out. Netflix might have it but im not sure. HBO GO has it but you need to subscribe to HBO to get that. Roku most likely has it and apple.Tv too.ReplyCancel
@Just Another Girl Not yet 🙁 ITunes doesn't have it yet, no Netflix, and I'm not buying HBO. Still searching. Sandybrook is leaving me during my time of need.ReplyCancel
Steampunk, I think it's still on. I'm just following on Twitter. 12 years a slave is winning big though. No word on if Jared Leto is wearing a pony-bun.ReplyCancel
Hbo on demand but it costs (I get it with my subscription).ReplyCancel
Not on netflix or amazon prime.ReplyCancel
Sorry I cant be of any help but beers are calling my name….and its dark outside too…ReplyCancel
Damn you McConaughey!!!
Don't let anyone steak you out there Sandyboo. Anyone wanna watch Hannibal or Bates Motel? No? Didn't think so. Sigh.ReplyCancel
*steal you (effing spelchek)
Don't get steaked either.ReplyCancel
What about Bates Motel…ReplyCancel
I'm watching Murdoch Mysteries ( which I found looking up True Detective on flix.. Turn of the century Canadian cop mystery….ReplyCancel
Ping me if it's any good. Looks awful fancy.ReplyCancel
InNot very…
Have you seen the Killing? Heard good things but not seen yet.
The Killing is awesome. I've only watched the first 2 seasons but I loved it. Joel Kinnaman is fiiiine.ReplyCancel
Also, re:watching True Detective
I believe the head of HBO even encouraged people to borrow their friends' HBO Go log-in. Very novel approach, but I think they're hoping you'll either get hooked and order the premium channels or just help to create buzz for the show.
i just finish watching SHUNGA african movie with lupita i love herReplyCancel
Sunny, another Holder fan on the site! I don't want to start season 3 bc it just brings me closer to the end.ReplyCancel
Oh come on, you guys can't be watching turn-of-the-century Canadian costume mysteries! We don't even watch that! (It's for the brits)ReplyCancel
TTM that's all Steampunk! People dressed in period costumes scare me, so I've been watching Hannibal like a good American.ReplyCancel
TTM—um hello—Road To Avon-lea is a really good show (not like Andy Cohen good but like better than The New Girl or The Bachelor etc.)ReplyCancel
What is the Road to Avonlea? Wait—will I fall asleep to a description of Avonlea?
Derek, are you watching Housewives of NY on the 11th or do you not get it yet?ReplyCancel
But Derek, Murdoch Mysteries??
Side note: LOVE Pride & Prejudice with Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth so much, miniseries totally okay. Totally not a contradiction. Also Sense & SensibilitiesReplyCancel
Could someone please tell Jared Leto that 1995 called? They'd like their clothes back… Not sure about MM's speech, either; it sounded heartfelt (he went on about the importance of independent film, and how hard it can be to pull it off), and maybe I'm just a cynical bitch, but I could swear his presenters' body language was reading "for the love of God, Matt, wrap it up NOW so we can sit back down!" Then again, perhaps they had to get it out of their systems tonight, rather than let rip tomorrow night…ReplyCancel
The Killing is now Lucas approved.
I let at least 5 different people use mine. Who am I to deny people the right to GOT and TD?ReplyCancel
@Kristin- Season 3 is Holdertastic — he steals the show.You must watch. Linden kind of annoyed me but overall I'm still pumped for season 4.ReplyCancel
I luv the Killing and True Detective. They don't make good series on regular tv any more. Enjoy watching guys!ReplyCancel
I have to say that I am really wanting to check out True Detective, everyone talking about it on here and the fact that it has such a big cast, sounds way coolReplyCancel
To watch the shows you want, go to couchtuner. Ihighly recommend Masters of Sex, it's awesome. And the best HBO series of all, The Wire.ReplyCancel

I can postpone a final decision on approach* until the end of the summer, but the textbook order deadline for the third semester Greek Syntax course I will be teaching this fall is approaching soon. Here are some options:
Wallace, Daniel B. Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics: An Exegetical Syntax of the New Testament. Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1996.
What I've used in the past. Its advantages include clear layout and copious examples. Weaknesses: Excessive length (i.e., students don't read it), death by categories that are more exegetical than syntactical.
Porter, Stanley. Idioms of the Greek New Testament. 2nd ed. Sheffield: Sheffield Academic Press, 1994.
The textbook when I took Greek syntax in seminary. Last time I considered it, I didn't see any reason to prefer it over Wallace.
Zerwick, Maximilian. Biblical Greek: Illustrated by Examples. 5th ed. Rome: Editrice Pontificio Istituto Biblico, 1963.
The textbook when I took Greek syntax in college. Wonderful clear examples. Dated.
Funk, Robert W. A Beginning-intermediate Grammar of Hellenistic Greek. 3d ed. Polebridge, 2013.
I have the second edition and like it. My concern is that it is now rather dated even if it is still ahead of its time.
Young, Richard A. Intermediate New Testament Greek: a Linguistic and Exegetical Approach. Nashville: Broadman and Holman, 1994.
At present, I am leaning toward Young, perhaps because I am least familiar with it. It is short enough for students to read, its descriptions seems clear, I like the promise of a linguistic approach even if it is now almost 20 years old. The fact that it is relatively succinct probably means that it will work better than Wallace if I switch to an inductive approach to syntax. I note, however, that Mike Aubrey says Young is built on a "horribly simplistic premise" (http://www.ibiblio.org/bgreek/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=1858&hilit=Young#p10445).
Are there other better alternatives? I'd like something that is clear, accessible, and useful as a resource that at least points to more advanced discussions. What would you recommend?

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A Mississippi man charged with sending poison-laced letters to President Obama and other officials has been charged with trying for a second time to frame the man first arrested in the case.
James Everett Dutschke has been jailed since April on charges of sending ricin-tainted letters to Obama, U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker and Lee County Justice Court Judge Sadie Holland.
The new indictment on Wednesday says Dutschke, while incarcerated, tried to get someone to make ricin and send it to Wicker.
The indictment says Dutschke was again trying to frame Elvis impersonator Paul Kevin Curtis, the man he set up the previous time.
Curtis was arrested on charges of sending the letters in April, but the charges were dropped when the investigation shifted to Dutschke.

As of late Monday, all of Washington state was under some weather warning. The wild weather also is forecast to continue this week in Oregon, Northern California, Idaho and Montana.
Drenching rain, heavy snow and howling winds this week are battering the Northwest, the one part of the USA where dismal weather could disrupt Thanksgiving travel plans.
The storm began Monday, and "the wet and windy weather will persist through Wednesday as one system after another moves through the area," according to the National Weather Service in Seattle.
As of late Monday, all of Washington state was under some weather warning. The wild weather also is forecast to continue this week in Oregon, Northern California, Idaho and Montana. In Montana, blizzard warnings are in effect through today.
While a brief break is possible on Thanksgiving Day, more bad weather should return by Friday.
Heavy rain fell Monday in Seattle. The weather service reported 1.49 inches by midday, breaking a 50-year-old record. The weather service warned of landslides in the Seattle area because of heavy rain. The storm has claimed at least one life: A hunter along the Oregon coast was killed when a tree fell on him.
In Washington, a mudslide carried a tree into a Washington State Patrol trooper's car and another vehicle, causing both to start burning. The trooper was uninjured and able to free the driver of the other car, who was left with a sore neck.
Up to 30 inches of snow is possible over the next couple of days in the Washington Cascades, according to the weather service. The heavy snow could lead to travel problems between western and eastern Washington, says Jay Albrecht, a weather service meteorologist in Seattle. He says the rain and low clouds could lead to flight delays for air travelers.
Flooding also is a concern: A forecast from the Northwest River Forecast Center shows several rivers at flood stage, particularly in southwest Washington and northwest Oregon, according to University of Washington meteorologist Cliff Mass.
Winds were wild Monday. Naselle Ridge, Wash., measured a gust of 114 mph, AccuWeather reported, with 101 mph recorded at Megler, Wash., 98 mph at Yaquina Head, Ore.
The wind downed trees, caused structural damage and put thousands of people in the dark Monday, AccuWeather meteorologist Kristina Pydynowski said.
Storms aren't unusual in the Northwest this time of year. November usually is the wettest month in Seattle and Portland. Albrecht recounts an old Thanksgiving saying in Seattle: "If you have a turkey in the oven, the power will go out."

Why am I submitting samples for diagnostic testing?
How do I know what size animals to submit?
1. If the animals are on average less than 1 ½ inch (4 cm) in shell height, then submit slightly more than twice the number to be examined (130 or 55live animals)
2. If the animals average over 1 ½ inch (4 cm) in shell height, then submit just slightly more than the number to be examined (65/30 live animals)
3. If very small seed is being submitted, talk with the diagnostician about sample size needed.
How do I know which of the animals in the population to submit?
How do I handle my animals after they have been collected?
***Remember—it takes time to get this work done- don't wait till 2 weeks before you need results to contact a diagnostic laboratory – ideally you should contact the laboratory a minimum of 5 weeks ahead of the date your results are needed. At that time, a submission date will be scheduled for your samples.
Please Contact the ADL to set up a sample submission time or to request a special quote:

Gayby (Jonathan Lisecki | USA | 89 min.)
Celebrate Gay Pride weekend with this truly appropriate selection: Jonathan Lisecki's Gayby is based on a short film of the same name and concerns exactly what the title implies: Young, gay New Yorker Matt (Matthew Wilkas) and old college buddy Jenn (Jenn Harris) decide to have a child together the old-fashioned way -- by having sex. This curious endeavor formed the centerpiece of the acclaimed short film; for Lisecki's feature-length treatment, the arrangement is the starting point for a hilarious exploration of urban archetypes, the neuroses of young people grappling with the pressures of family life, and the impact of sexuality on other facets of daily life. Less satire than a playful encapsulation of real life, Gayby places as much emphasis on the experience of its straight character, Jenn, as it does on Matt. When Jenn puts her career and friendship in jeopardy by indulging in a sordid one night stand, she's forced to contemplate what drove her to desiring motherhood in the first place. Matt faces a similar conundrum: Unsure of his own relationship needs, he begins to question his commitment with Jenn even though it might be too late to back out.
The cast is rounded out by various bit players, including Lisecki himself as a flamboyant source of comic relief, but the movie's real star is its screenplay. Relying on constant one-liners, sparkling wit and awkward refrains, Gayby never slows down to get preachy even as its characters confront real issues. While on the surface Gayby has the buoyancy of a metropolitan sitcom, its status as a charming crowd-pleaser allows its deeper themes about progressive family life to gradually settle in. By the end, Gayby has earned the right to be utterly sweet, heartfelt and wildly entertaining at the same time. Lisecki, making his feature-length directorial debut, announces himself as a strong new voice in American cinema with a resolutely modern eye.

8 The Play
We had an idea. We wanted theaters and colleges from coast-to-coast to inspire audiences with the story of one of the most important civil rights cases of our time.
So, Broadway Impact teamed up with American Foundation for Equal Rights and Academy Award-winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black (Milk, J. Edgar) to coordinate a nation-wide series of staged readings of a new play called "8."
"8″ is the real-life story of Kris & Sandy and Paul & Jeff, two loving couples who want to get married but can't. Together with attorneys David Boies and Ted Olson and a host of expert witnesses, they take aim at Proposition 8, a discriminatory law that took away the right for LGBT couples to marry in California in 2008.
"8″ is based on the actual words of the Perry trial transcripts, first-hand observations of the courtroom drama and interviews with the plaintiffs and their families.
As "8″ flashes in and out of the Perry court, you get to see both sides present their best evidence, arguments and witnesses for and against marriage for gay and lesbian Americans. See how the case affects the plaintiffs and their kids, and, following the performance, learn how you too can become involved in the fight for equal rights.
Learn more about "8," including how to stage a reading at your theater or at your school!

- Rapid Decisive Operations: An Assumptions-Based Critique. Authored by Dr. Antulio J. Echevarria, II.
- The author argues that, while those who developed the concept of rapid decisive operations (RDO) deserve high praise for attempting to link two relative properties—speed and decisiveness—the definition of RDO is at present incoherent and based on several deeply flawed assumptions. He goes on to recommend a method—which he calls Assumption-based Concept Development—for identifying and addressing an operational concept's critical assumptions.

The Leafs found value in net with Reimer and Scrivens
Cam Charron
May 29 2013 11:34AM
Steve shared this bit from Kevin McGran on Twitter this morning. It was a mostly factual, albeit obvious, bit about how the Pittsburgh Penguins are so good because of their depth. Depth, moreso than top talent, is what drives team's success through the regular season and into the playoffs when too often blame for a team's elimination is placed squarely on one guy.
But then McGran started getting into goaltending. The stats community, I guess you could call us, have been pretty "anti"-Marc-Andre Fleury for quite some time now. Straight up, his save percentages aren't good enough to warrant the talk of him being an elite goalie. Jared Lunsford covered this to some extent in his Penguins preview at NHL Numbers from the from this fall.
Anyway, here's what McGran wrote:
This season, Shero acquired Tomas Vokoun to be the steadying force behind Fleury. When the bad Fleury emerged in the first round against the New York Islanders, Bylsma felt confident turning to the veteran Vokoun — a starter most of his career. Vokoun has been in the Pittsburgh net ever since.
That's the dilemma the Leafs face.
If Reimer gets hurt or goes cold, is Scrivens good enough to pick up the slack?
Nonis tried to address that very issue at the trade deadline.
First off, I don't think that Vokoun was the right guy for the Leafs. He's 36, and it's something that I wrote about when he went off the market. Vokoun signed the same day that Curtis Sanford went to the KHL, who I wrote at the time was the veteran that the Leafs could have given a backup spot to. It's not about having two superstars in net. It's good in theory, but ultimately, good goalies know they're good goalies and want to play. It's sort of why Roberto Luongo's being pushed out of Vancouver this season and why Anaheim once waived Ilya Bryzgalov.
As for which tandem you'd prefer… I'd prefer Scrivens and Reimer, at least for this season, because it's a much better price. Remember, James Reimer did go down to injury this season, leading to eight consecutive starts by Ben Scrivens including starts in back-to-back nights.
During that stretch, Scrivens posted five quality starts—starts with a .913 save rate or better, or an .885 save rate and a goals against average of two or less. He had a .928 save percentage and posted two shutouts—in consecutive starts.
If you're looking at this season, sure. Fleury and Vokoun both played well in Pittsburgh and that team was fourth in the league in save percentage at even strength, behind just the New York Rangers, Detroit and Ottawa. The Leafs finished 15th.
However… Fleury costs $5M according to Capgeek. Vokoun costs $2M. Combined, Scrivens and Reimer cost $2.4M. [Capgeek Penguins - Capgeek Leafs]
Depth is created by efficiency. If you find a cheap good player at one position, you can have another player who is good at a different position that is more expensive. You're looking to get the most value at each position.
Let's do the math
So, look at it this way: the Penguins two goaltenders had a .932 even strength save rate this season [NHL.com]. Over the 1164 shots they faced, two replacement goaltenders, that each stop .912, would have made 23.4 fewer saves over the course of the season.
Divide that by 5.5, roughly the amount of goals it takes for an added win in the standings, and the Penguins goalies combined for 4.3 WAR, or 4.3 Wins Above a Replacement goaltender.
For the Leafs, Screimer combined for a .923 save rate. That's 14.1 saves better than a replacement goaltender, or 2.6 WAR. While the Penguins appear to be better, consider the costs.
Our two replacement goaltenders cost us $525,000 against the cap—the NHL minimum salary. Since you need two of them, your two replacement goaltenders cost you $1.05M. The Penguins are paying $5,950,000 above that for 4.3 wins, while the Leafs are paying $1,362,500 above that for 2.6 wins.
Do the division, and the Leafs are paying $524,038.46 per win from the goaltending position while it's costing the Penguins nearly a million dollars more: $1,383,720.93.
Now, being economical with goaltending isn't going to get you very far. The point is to be "good" with goaltending, something both the Leafs and Penguins are. The Leafs economy in net didn't help them be better up front or on defence, which is ultimately why they lost in the first round and the Penguins are playing in the third round.
The Leafs didn't back into three consecutive draft lotteries and get to select two of the top five players in the game in Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. That is ultimately the difference between the Penguins and the Leafs. It's not between the pipes.
Between the pipes, the Leafs are solid. Even when Reimer was hurt, the Leafs weren't in a position this year when you though "oh man, if they'd only given Tomas Vokoun that second year, or had traded for Miikka Kiprusoff". Just didn't happen this year. May happen next year, certainly happened in 2012, but didn't happen in 2013, which is the year in question.
Toronto has a whole other offseason to get a veteran backup. Can the Leafs get 60 starts out of Reimer in a full 82-game season?
Would be cool to see a table of WAR and $/WAR for each team, to see how the Leafs stack up, and if there is some trend in $/WAR throughout the league.
Saving money is only useful if you're the owner, or if you spend it in other ways that earn you wins. I don't think the Leafs effectively spent that $4 million or so they saved on goaltending to bolster their lineup and add to their depth in other ways.
I guess they have more headroom heading into the summer though, which is something.
nice article, btw it's screims, not screimer.
What are you talking about, Cam?
The Leafs have done nothing but have high draft picks since the last lockout. You just traded a couple for Kessel and are starting to reap the fruits of the picks lately with Kadri, Gunnar, etc, etc.

"Sadly, Utah's wildfires have left many property owners in a very vulnerable situation. Even though you may be in a hurry to make home repairs, don't let others take advantage the second time around," cautioned Francine A. Giani, "It just takes five minutes to make sure your contractor is licensed or to check that your donation is going to a charity registered with the State."
Tips to avoid wildfire-related Scams
Door-to-Door Service Offers
Make sure any contractor offering fire repair services is licensed with the Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing (DOPL) at the following website; www.dopl.utah.gov or by calling (801) 530-6626.
Consumers may also check to see if the individual or company has faced prior disciplinary action at www.dopl.utah.gov
Get any contract terms in writing. Don't fall for high pressure sales tactics when someone shows up at your door promising cheap materials and labor.
Solicitations for donations to groups or charities
Donate to charities with a track record and a history. Charities that spring up overnight may disappear just as quickly especially on the internet.
Check out an organization before donating. Some phony charities use names, seals and logos that look or sound like those of respected, legitimate organizations.
Do not send or give cash donations. For security and tax record purposes, it is best to pay by check made payable to the charity.
Ask for a receipt showing the amount of your contribution.
Be wary of promises of guaranteed sweepstakes winnings in exchange for a contribution. You never have to give a donation to be eligible to win a sweepstakes.
Call the Utah Division of Consumer Protection at (801) 530-6601 to see whether the charity or fundraising organization has to be registered in Utah or log on to: www.consumerprotection.utah.gov

AUA/AACU to Jointly Present AUA2013 Health Policy Forum
On May 6, 2013, the AUA and the American Association of Clinical Urologists (AACU) will present this year's health policy forum, Health Information Technologies and Novel Reimbursement Models in the era of Affordable Care Act, at the Annual Meeting in San Diego, CA.
Coding Corner:
NCPPR Recommends Fast-track Elimination of Medicare Fee-for-Service Payments
The AUA Board of Directors recently reviewed and approved a 5-year strategic plan for AUA Quality-related initiatives. The plan, developed by the Quality Improvement and Patient Safety (QIPS) Committee and Quality Department staff, delineates definitive strategies for assisting AUA members to enhance their quality of care and improve patient outcomes.
To carry out the quality improvement and patient safety goals of the AUA, this framework outlines the following projects:
On March 1, President Obama signed an Executive Order implementing the across-the-board cuts required by the sequestration portion of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act. Medicare payments to providers will be reduced by two percent as a result of this order. This two percent reduction includes cuts in the amounts paid to physicians and hospitals entitled to receive incentive payments from Medicare for the Meaningful Use (MU) of electronic health records. This comes as a surprise to a number of industry experts who believed that the MU incentive payments were exempt.
Physician payment reform, quality care and physician workforce were key themes at the Annual Urology Joint Advocacy Conference, held last week in Washington, DC. Now in its 8th year, the conference is designed to not only educate the nation's urologists on issues of import to the specialty, but gave them the opportunity to bring urology's message to Capitol Hill through meetings with lawmakers and their staff. The Conference is jointly presented by the AUA and the American Association of Clinical Urologists (AACU).
More than 150 urologists and staff representing 41 states and territories across the union were in attendance this year. Over the course of the three-day conference, attendees heard from key lawmakers, regulators, Hill staff and policy analysts, who spoke to major issues facing medicine, including healthcare quality and value, implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the future of the U.S. healthcare system.

Practically Speaking
Kyle and her husband moved to Brookfield in 1986. She became active in local politics and started blogging in 2004. Her focus is primarily on local issues but often includes state and national topics, too. Kyle looks at things from the taxpayers' perspective in a creative, yet down to earth way, addressing them from a practical point of view.
My April 3, 2012 ballot picks: Grant, Sutton, Wolfla, Lowerr, Lambert, Wartman
Tuesday, April 3, 2012, is Election Day in Wisconsin. We vote in the Presidential primary and for local non-partisan races. Click to view larger photo.
It is doubtful that our recently passed Voter ID law will be in effect, however, you will be required to sign the Poll List when you vote.
You can find your sample ballot anywhere in Wisconsin simply by putting in your address at this website: Wisconsin Voter Public Access Find your polling place here.
Polls open at 7am and close at 8pm. District 7 voters, remember we vote in at St. Luke's Catholic Church on Greenfield Ave. and Davidson Rd. in District 6.
Take the time to be an informed voter. If you don't know anything about a candidate, don't vote in that race. The Wisconsin Conservatives - Vote April 3rd! site is a good source for many races in the southeastern quadrant of Wisconsin.
Most of the races on our ballots in Brookfield are uncontested, meaning the candidate will win regardless of your vote. I still cast a vote for some of these people if I support their candidacy; I don't if I don't know much about them or don't support them.
Going from the general to the specific on the front page of the ballot:
Party Preference: You must select a party for the Presidential Primary. For me that is Republican. (Last time, since McCain cinched the nomination, I selected Democrat and voted for Hillary, believing she was the less radical choice should she win!)
Presidential Preference Vote - I am voting for Rick Santorum. Considering his shoe-string budget campaign, I am impressed he is doing as well as he is with Romney outspending him 4 - 7 times to 1, depending on the state. More than likely, by the end of April, if not on Tuesday, results will show Mitt Romney will be our nominee in November, but I still am voting for Rick. His candidacy has made Romney a better candidate as Santorum pushes him more to the right. 2012 Primary Election Schedule
County Races:
Waukesha County Board Supervisor: District 7 - Jennifer Grant She is running in the only contested County Board race in Brookfield in some northern Wards of our city. Jennifer Grant contacted me 2 months ago and we have emailed back and forth a bit. She explained, "I am running because I truly believe that we are at a crossroads and it is time for even the Waukesha County Board to represent conservative fiscal policy and reduce taxes (we are a red county after all). As a CPA and Benefits professional, I think I have the private sector experience needed for the position."
Jennifer Grant is endorsed by my State Assembly Representative Dale Kooyenga and the Menomonee Falls Taxpayer Association. She would get my vote too, but I live south of her district.
Jennifer Grant for Waukesha County Supervisor
Menomonee Falls Patch: April 2012 Election: Jennifer Grant
The other County Board races in Brookfield are uncontested. I am not voting for Tom Schellinger in County District 20. Possibly next time, in 2014, we will have a choice in southern Brookfield.
Municipal Races: City of Brookfield Aldermen
District 1 - Incumbent Dan Sutton - Though I don't live in District 1, if I did, I would be voting for Dan Sutton. He has been my ballot pick before mainly because he supports the residents and has good instincts. Retired Judge Dick Steinberg is challenging him this April. I do appreciate and thank Judge Steinberg for all the years he spent on the bench in Brookfield, but I would leave it at that. Dan Sutton is very popular in his district and he should be reelected.
BrookfieldNOW Alderman District 1 race
District 4 - Cathy Wolfla over Appointee Buck Jurken - I'm thinking I would vote for Cathy Wolfla if I lived in District 4. She seems to be very interested in keeping constituents informed on the issues, something I really appreciate with my 2 Aldermen Renee' Lowerr and Lisa Mellone. I also liked her last line in the BrookfieldNOW profile, "I am open to listening to what the residents think about bond issues and "specialty taxes," but ultimately, we must balance what we can have with what we can afford to pay." Now that is a refreshing concept!
BrookfieldNOW Alderman District 4 race
Brookfield Patch: Aldermanic Election: Wolfla Promises Greater Input; Jurken Touts Record
District 7 - Renee Lowerr - I have lived in District 7 for 26 years, and by this time, I know a good Alderman when I see one! Renee Lowerr takes her job as Alderman very seriously. She is hard working, energetic, listens to her constituents, and does not have divided loyalties. Her focus is on what is best for her constituents and the City of Brookfield. She is very sensitive to residents concerns with new development.
Her challenger is Tom Schellinger, who is and will be our County Board Supervisor. He was our Alderman from 2002 - 2006, but was voted out of office by Lisa Mellone in 2006 and by Renee Lowerr in 2008. Schellinger's performance aside, I believe serving in both positions would be a conflict of interest.
The thing that troubles me is that new to the district residents don't know the issues we have had with him in the past and might believe the very misleading campaign literature he distributed against Lowerr. I do hope they will do some research before voting.
Schellinger sinks to new low with misleading campaign literature, Vote Renee Lowerr!
Conflict of interest? Schellinger for County Supervisor & Brookfield Alderman with left-over Schellinger for Assembly signs
Brookfield Patch: Aldermanic Election: Challenged by Schellinger, Lowerr Focuses on Development
BrookfieldNOW: Brookfield 7th Aldermanic District
District 7 - Lisa Mellone - Lisa again is unopposed as she runs for the remainder of her term, but she does deserve our vote. I will quote my 2010 ballot pick post: "...she deserves mention as an outstanding Alderman. What a pleasant change from our former Alderman [Schellinger] often referred to as "Mr. Rolodex". Lisa Mellone works very hard for her district and follows through on resident concerns. Some day, I hope to draw that little connecting arrow next to her name for Mayor of Brookfield!"
Come back, Lisa Mellone, District 7 needs you!
For School District of Elmbrook School Board races, you must turn your ballot over. Everyone in the Elmbrook School District votes for both school board races, regardless of where you live in the district.
Area IV - Jean Lambert - Her background as a senior financial analyst for Froedert Health makes her a great asset to the board. She is a 40 year resident with 30 years private sector experience and 3 years on the Elmbrook School Board.
Jean Lambert summed it up well in Elmbrook incumbents face challengers: "'I'm running because we have, for the past couple of years, done a lot of heavy lifting with regards to Act 10 and decisions about Open Enrollment and the closing of Hillside,' Lambert said. 'Now we can concentrate on student achievement, acclimating the new superintendent and building our school communities as we have needed to redistrict.'"
At-Large - Meg Wartman - I have supported Meg Wartman in past elections, and I support her now. She, like Jean Lambert, has been a solid vote against adding expensive 4K to Elmbrook. Meg Wartman has lived in the district for 25 years and has served on the board 3 terms as treasurer, President, and Vice President. Her experience has helped her to understand that adding more students through Open Enrollment, 220, or even 4K does not help our district but rather just adds more cost to the taxpayers. Meg Wartman is one of that collective "we" Jean spoke of in the above quote. They have done heavy lifting. They have made tough decisions and our Elmbrook School District and the Elmbrook taxpayers are the better for it.
Please see 2012 Elmbrook School District election picks: Meg Wartman & Jean Lambert for more details from the Candidate Forum
So, there you have it: My ballot picks for April 3rd. Be sure to look into the issues and candidates for yourself and vote. Each of the links to postings I did on these candidates has numerous links to more articles and postings.

Yeah I was in the BART station parking lot in Oakland when some dude tried to rob me as I was starting my car. I grabbed the gun and we struggled with it and it went off as I hit the gas. Went through the webbing of one hand, into my other arm and traveled all the way up from my wrist to above my elbow. Shattered my radius bone but didn't cut the nerves or anything else (well it cut the tendons too).
Still hurts but I got so amazingly lucky.

Thanks man! As I was lying in the ambulance I said to myself "I am done with Oakland" (my car had been stolen twice in the previous year and I had only been there a year) so I was ready to split.

QUOTE (Chadforpresidentin08 @ Feb 4 2007, 11:06 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Unfair thing to call Young beter than Chad. If you want a pure pocket passer, you'll take Chad any day of the week. If you want a guy that can move outside of the pocket, you want Young. Both guys are playing in systems that fit them best, if they were to go outside of their systems they'd probably struggle alot.
Yes it is fair, Pennington overall is not as good. He is decent at best as a pocket passer and just cus he cant run and Young cant isnt his fault. You would still take Peyton Manning over most scrambling qb's wouldnt you? so dont say u cant compare.
QUOTE (ganggreen_ewok @ Feb 4 2007, 05:38 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Statistically, no he isn't. I'll take Pennington over Vince Young (the whole calling epople by their initials is really gay. Not a little gay, really gay) any day
You take Pennington over Young anyday and your gunna lose almost everyday my friend.
Also who are u to say using people's initials is gay?? Yea your real cool I'd like to see u tell the ORIGINAL LT that hes gay cus he uses his initials instead of his whole name.

The new 458's base price hovers right around $225,000, which places it among the most expensive of the performance cars available in North America. The Lamborghini Gallardo and Porsche S Turbo may compete in terms of performance, style and price, but the Ferrari 458 brings extensive racing heritage and the newest in fuel-efficiency technology. A multi-displacement system, active aerodynamics and a clever alternator that only charges the battery when the engine is not under load are among the technologies Ferrari has employed to increase vehicle efficiency. The 458 also promises, like most Ferraris, to not be a stripped track-ready racecar, but rather a leather-clad, Bluetooth equipped ride that can be driven comfortably to work or wrung out confidently on any competition tarmac in the world.
The 458 is a new model for Ferrari in 2010, replacing last years, much-loved, F430 model. The 458 is more technologically advanced, more powerful and even more fuel-efficient in every way than its predecessor.
The Ferrari 458 is a new model for 2010, intended to replace the F430, one of Ferrari's most popular models. The new 458 is better in every measurable way, and the styling is also an evolution of the 430's looks--the newer car's got sharper corners, better aerodynamics and bigger standard wheels.

Nice article. I am, however, skeptical, that trading Anthony would get you the parts that would make the Knicks appreciably better during the 3 years that they are stuck with Anthony-Stoudemire-Chandler. I feel like an Anthony trade could get you parts that might win you some more games in the regular season, and therefore a better seed, and then eliminated by the Heat at some round in the playoffs that isn't the 1st-- but a full season of Woodson (or anyone else other than D'Antoni) should do that anyway. Maybe Anthony could get you some prospect type players, or draft picks, but it would probably take about three years for that type of assets to turn into a championship core. I guess what I'm trying to say is that while I see how an Anthony trade might make the Knicks a BETTER team, I don't see how it makes you a CHAMPIONSHIP team in a conference that has the Heat and the Bulls.

Constance Wyndham, Assistant Exhibition Curator
Last week we installed Afghanistan Now: Photographs by Fardin Waezi, a display of photographs by this talented Afghan photographer, in the Clore Foyers underneath the Great Court in the British Museum. This display is part of a wider programme of events surrounding the exhibition Afghanistan: Crossroads of the Ancient World.
Fardin's images reveal many sides of life in Afghanistan that are rarely seen, from an all girl football team to a fishmonger showing off his catch in the market. Photography is the most developed of the visual arts in Afghanistan. The relentless spotlight of the media on Afghanistan has created great opportunities for photographers and film makers to publish their work internationally. Afghan photographers often have the best access to people and news stories, and can travel anonymously. This constant demand for pictures of a country in transition has meant that photography and film have both flourished there since 2001.
Fardin took his first photograph in his father's studio in Kabul when he was seven years old. His father used a traditional box camera to photograph people in the street, and under the Taliban Fardin worked with him as a street photographer. During this time, the photography of people was banned and as a keen photographer, Fardin was arrested several times for 'photography related crimes'. After the fall of the Taliban in 2001, Fardin joined the newly established AINA (Afghan Media and Culture Centre) in Kabul and studied photojournalism. Since then, his work has been published internationally by Der Spiegel, Le Point, Le Nouvel Observateur, Le Figaro, The New York Times, Le Monde, Associated Press and CNN. Fardin runs photojournalism courses for the next generation of Afghan photographers at AINA and he is currently the official photographer for UNAMA (United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan).
Creating an independent media is an important part of the reconstruction effort in Afghanistan. Reza Deghati, an Iranian photographer, set up a photojournalism department in 2001 for the newly established AINA (Afghan Media and Culture Centre) in Kabul. AINA provides training for young Afghan photographers who are now gaining reputations as some of Afghanistan's best photographers, including Fardin Waezi, Wakil Kohsar, Farzana Wahidy, Massoud Hosseini, and Gulbuddin Elham.
Many internationally renowned photographers and photojournalists who have visited Afghanistan have run workshops and training programmes for the country's aspiring photographers. In 2010, British photographer Simon Norfolk ran workshops in Kabul for Fardin Waezi and other photographers. Their work was shown in Views of Kabul (6 – 28 March, 2011) an exhibition of photography at the Queen's Palace, Bagh e Babur, Kabul.
Afghanistan Now: Photographs by Fardin Waezi is on display until 10 June 2011 and is part of the World Collections Programme which aims to establish partnerships across the world and increase access to the UK collections and expertise.

|Meeting Description:
|The sixth edition of the International conference, Days of Linguistic Rights, (GDL 2012) will be focused on analyzing the migration phenomenon from the point of view of socio-linguistic and cultural relations among groups that came together and thrived mainly in Italy, but not exclusively! The groups being Italian, Albanian and Francophone Belgian. At the heart of these relations, lies the historical past and present region of Abruzzo: today a land of hospitality and receiver of Albanian migration, as those who founded Villa Badessa di Rosciano in 1743; today, in recent times it has turned out to be a land of departure, with intense emigration directed towards Europe, one of the main places being Belgium.
The quality of these relations depends on the fragile dialectics involved in the concept of integration, which to a great extent is itself conditioned by languages: the scarse, imperfect or imprecise possibility of mutual comprehension among the two (or more) communities living together can in fact lead to a sort of alienation (loss of identity in favour of the dominant model) within the immigrant community and on the other hand communitarianism (exasperation often forced by ones identity features as a self-defense reaction). Naturally, the problem of comprehension among groups is not strictly a linguistic problem, but has more to do with cultural, social and symbolic aspects upon which collective and subjective identity is built. Starting from these simple considerations, one initial aim of the 2012 GDL - which ends the cycle of DORIF conferences, on the relation between 'Plurilinguism and the Professional World' http://www.dorif.it/convegni.php, that began in Teramo itself in spring 2011 - will be to make a point about the theories, best practices and the professional elements regarding the field of inter-comprehension and dialogue between cultures in contact, with the participation of linguists, but also sociologists, cultural mediators, legal experts, institutional actors etc.
There is a need to develop an analysis within this structure, also in a historic-diachronic manner: the immigration/emigrations caused by conflicts of the past have in many cases transformed into fortunes, both, because of the improvement in the material conditions of human lives and entire communities and due to the birth of precious linguistic pockets. In fact today, often, these are not just extraordinary pockets of cultural diversity, but real treasure chests that conserve through time, material and immaterial cultural heritage that has been lost, destroyed or however transformed in the 'motherland.' It will be useful from this point of view - and strategic - to detect the forms, techniques and technology to reactivate the spread of social, cultural - but also economic and entrepreneurial - communication between the 'motherland' and 'ex-colonies.'
Not an «inert mass» (Saussure) but «place of conflict» (Lafont): society, societies have always been swept across by linguistic-cultural contact phenomena and in this meeting/clash the subject and society itself can obtain different opportunities of growth. However it is important to question oneself thoroughly about the correct path and the correct manner of walking it.

Cute shoes!
"These shoes are super cute! I wore them to a club and was able to dance and stand in them for the majority of the night. My feet did get a little tied at the end but that's to be expected if your clubbing for hours :). The ankle strap does run a little large but I didn't find it uncomfortable at all."
