Reality Check: Group's Ad Targets Hixson On Health Care
Hixson Running To Keep 43rd Assembly District Seat
MADISON, Wis. - The Michigan-based group All Children Matter is targeting a candidate in the race for Wisconsin's 43rd Assembly district.
VIDEO: Watch The Report
The group, which was founded by a prominent Republican couple, said it is focused on making sure children have access to a quality education. But in a new ad, the group has turned its attention to health care in Wisconsin.
The ad aims to strike fear in the heart of anyone who goes to see a doctor. The group would have people believe that an Assembly candidate would drastically chance health care, but WISC-TV found that is not necessarily the case.
"Heart patients waiting three months for EKGs; teenagers waiting up to three years for knee surgery. That's Canada's government-run health care system, the same kind of health care Kim Hixson wants for Wisconsin," the ad says.
A WISC-TV analysis found the premise of the ad misleading.
Democrat Kim Hixson is a one-term Assembly representative from Whitewater running to keep his seat.
The ad bases the support of a Canadian-like health care system on a Wisconsin Eye interview. Hixson was asked if the Healthy Wisconsin plan was the right way to reform health care.
"I think that probably we're going down the right path by discussing and talking about it. I think that some sort of universal health care is probably where we need to go," Hixson told Wisconsin Eye.
Hixson went on to discuss some of the positives of the plan, and the ad implies that he supports Healthy Wisconsin.
But Hixson told WISC-TV on Thursday that he doesn't support it and didn't support it during the budget process. It never came up for a vote in the Assembly.
Hixson said he supports universal health care but doesn't have a plan to do it. He said the details need to be worked out.
"Under Hixson's plan, families could lose their choice of doctors, face long waiting lists and a frustrating bureaucracy," the ad says.
WISC-TV found this claim needs clarification.
Again, Healthy Wisconsin is not Hixson's plan. But under the program, families wouldn't necessarily lose their doctor. The program creates a state network of private health plans. People can select which one they want and pay for it through a percentage of their income and an annual deductible.
Healthy Wisconsin puts plans on a tier, so if your current plan isn't chosen by the board to be the lowest cost, you might have to pay more to get your current doctor.
But the creators of the plan said this program creates competition and that everyone will want to be in the lowest tier.
As far as waiting lists go, currently only 10 percent of state residents are uninsured, so presumably some 500,000 people would enter the health care system.
"Hixson's government-run plan would cost $500 a month for each Wisconsin worker," the ad says.
WISC-TV found this claim needs clarification.
Under Healthy Wisconsin, the average worker would pay $140 a month in additional payroll taxes. Their employer would pay another $370 on their behalf.
But Hixson said he doesn't support this particular plan.

Interview: Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong on '¡Uno!,' '¡Dos!' and '¡Tre!'
For all of Armstrong's precociousness as a songwriter and spokesman, Green Day remain very much a band and an equal partnership. The egalitarian Gilman Street power structure lives on in the band's internal dynamic. Armstrong defers to his bandmates on most musical matters. He'll even hesitate to play a new song for his wife before running it past Dirnt and Tré first.
"I don't want to piss off the band," he says. "They'd be, like, 'Why are you playing the song for someone else before we get to listen to it?'"
One wonders how it's possible to get any kind of serious musical comment out of the irrepressible Tré Cool, who always seems to be in full-on prankster mode.
"Yeah, Tré does a lot of clowning around and says a lot of crazy stuff," Armstrong allows. "I love him for that, and that's part of him. But when he's behind the drum set, he's completely focused and completely in his element. I think he's one of the best drummers out there. His character comes out in his drumming. It's like some singers, where their speaking voice sounds like their singing voice. It's authentic.
"And I think Mike is the same way as a bass player. Mike is really focused too. And I love his kind of melodies on the bass. He's kind of the secret weapon on these records in a lot of ways, 'cause the sound of the guitars make room for his bass playing to come out a little bit more."
Dirnt was the catalyst for another expletive-studded, standout track, "Kill the DJ" from ¡Uno!. "Mike wanted me to write something four-on-the-floor," Armstrong says. "Something like Gang of Four or Blondie's 'Heart of Glass,' almost a disco kind of song. I didn't really have any references for that kind of thing, outside of maybe the Clash. So I wrote that song and I just like the irony of writing a dance song that's saying 'kill the DJ.'"
But Armstrong denies that the song is any kind of comment on the contemporary music scene and the ascendancy of superstar DJs like Skrillex and Deadmau$. "No, not at all," he says. "I hope some of those people take that track and remix it! I think the line 'Kill the DJ' is more a take on all these opinions you get when you watch television these days—anything from Bill Maher to Bill O'Reilly: culture wars and all that; the static noise that keeps coming at you. And there's that moment when you just say, 'Shut the fuck up!' That's my take on it: 'Just give me fuckin' peace.' Also, the song has the vibe of a party that's gone gross—the feeling that everyone's in the bathroom at the same time doing cocaine together."
The second disc's closing track stands in stark contrast to the "party out of control" vibe of the preceding songs. Titled "Amy," it's a posthumous homage to Amy Winehouse. "I saw a video of her singing and playing guitar," Armstrong says. "I didn't realize how great a guitar player she was. And that inspired me to write that song, kind of sending my condolences."
And "Amy," Armstrong says, served as a catalyst for the opening track on ¡Tré! "Brutal Love" is a searing R&B ballad in the style of the late Otis Redding. It's a song that demonstrates Green Day's remarkable range. Few, if any, of their pop-punk peers could pull off anything remotely like this, complete with a horn chart right out of the Stax Records heyday, no less.
"In the past, whenever we did horns or strings, the person who was doing the orchestration had to fit the arrangement inside the melody and all the guitars and try to get it heard," Armstrong says. "But this time I talked to Tom Kitt, who did the all the arrangements, and I said, 'I'm gonna leave it wide open so you can do whatever you want.' So he wrote all the arrangements to just a bare-bones vocal and guitar track. That let him build that tension on 'Brutal Love' and give it that Otis Redding kind of feel."
If ¡Uno! is the disc that will appeal most to Dookie fans, ¡Tré! is the one most likely to win approval from those who prefer the Green Day of American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown. The final disc of the new trilogy closes with "The Forgotten," a piano ballad embellished with lavish strings.
Certainly, it's not every day that a band records three albums of new music. To commemorate the occasion, Green Day are preparing a documentary film on the making of the discs. "I really like certain surf documentaries, like Sprout, Seedling and One California Day," Armstrong explains. "We wanted to do a film like that, capturing the spirit and lifestyle of the band. We didn't want to do something where you just sit down and talk and it's just your face on the screen. So there's not really a narrative behind our film; it's just more about what went on while we were making the album. We had a pirate radio station and we built a skateboard ramp. There's surfing and us jamming, of course, playing throughout the whole thing. We wanted to make something that looks really good, almost like an art documentary in a lot of ways."
Meanwhile, the world awaits another new film release, the American Idiot movie, which is likely to include a screen role for Armstrong. "It's all in the works right now," he says. "It's just about that long process of movie making. I think I might play Saint Jimmy for the movie. There are talks about that. The great thing was to be able to do it onstage first and not be in front of the camera right away. But I got the acting bug a little bit, and I'm kind of easing my way into it. I want to learn more about it and learn from my friends who are actors. That's kind of where I'm at with it now, just asking questions. I'll start getting into it more and more after we do this wild run."
The "wild run" in question is the marathon Green Day tour behind ¡Uno! ¡Dos! and ¡Tré! which kicked off in August. "We're touring our asses off," Armstrong confirms. "We're looking at anything from playing festivals and arenas to clubs and theaters. The idea is to design our production to be able to fit into all those different kinds of buildings. I can't wait. You get to the point where you're just talking about your new record, and now I just wanna get out there and play the new stuff."
But he does have one last thing to say about Green Day, the Gilman Street punk band that became one of the most significant rock and roll bands of the 21st century. "It's weird when people ask me, 'Are you still a punk band?'" Armstong says. "I don't know! I don't know if we were ever really a punk band to begin with, because we've always loved melody. We've never really been like Minor Threat. I love Minor Threat, but I never wanted to be that. My favorite stuff was the Undertones, Generation X and the Ramones. The Ramones wrote melodies like the Beach Boys. So is that punk? And some of the later Clash records—do you consider that punk? A song like 'Bankrobber': Is that a punk song? It's backward reggae! I've always loved power pop and I've just tried to push it forward, see how far I could take it and make it even more powerful. I just feel like we've continued this tradition of rock and roll and punk rock and made it better. I mean I'm slightly biased, but…"

Chayote (often mistaken for a squash) is a fruit with a cucumber-like taste and texture. The sweet-spicy balance of this appetizer goes well with Sauvignon Blanc or beer.
Leave a Review
Although these were relatively easy to prepare and the flavor was good, mine fell apart while cooking... I think I may have left the shrimp too large. All in all, I would attempt again, but cakes they were not for me!
This dish is relatively easy to prepare. I didn't have the poblano so I substituted powdered chipotle powder. My family loved this dish I served with the tarter sauce, no capers and I used sweet relish since I had on hand again I added the chipotle powder.I made a regular slaw since i did not have the ingredients for the chayote. I am following the recipe exactly tonight, with chayote slaw. I plan to serve all with a good Sake, since we love Sake with sushi and shrimp, so,why not!
These are delicious! The recipe has a lot of prep work but its worth the effort. They are even delicious the next day! I used sweet pickle relish in place of the gherkins or dill pickles. I also served it with roasted red and yellow peppers (from a jar) instead of fussing with the slaw.
Delicious and healthy! I recently had something similar to this at a restaurant but this recipe definitely superior. Wrote about the comparison of the two versions of sweet potato cake on my blog, Spoons to Sporks.
Delicious. You can subtitute picked jalepenos if you can't find the poblano.I didn't make the salad but just served it on a bed of butter lettuce. Couldn't get enough of it! If you have a coffee/spice grinder, it'll make creating the spice mix much easier. See link for some lessons learned regarding the recipe http://cinnybear.wordpress.com/2011/01/13/sweet-potato-shrimp-cakes/
I would like to make these for a picnic, and was wondering if anyone has eaten these cold, and if they were good or not? maybe on a toasted baguette as a sandwich? I don't usually make fish cakes so I can't really imagine if they would taste good chilled. Thanks for any help!
Forget the slaw - not impressive, but the shrimp cakes with chipotle sauce are divine. I make them early in the day and refrigerate and cook at the last minute. Plate with a spring salad mix tossed with a vinaigrette...perfect first course for a dinner party. The entire menu is wonderful - try the pork loin with this...one of my favorite dinner party menus
This is a great recipe .... it would be a shame to omit the poblano, with its subtle smokey spicey flavor. We also think it's a shame to only serve it for company. We have it from time to time just for a tasty light supper for just the two of us. Mary in Eugene.
This recipe was intriguing. I used Japanese sweet potatoes, and did not bother with the poblano chili. At first, I was worried whether they would hold together or not, but no problem, they were delicious. We paired them with a salad, and a bottle of rose for a nice summer evening meal.
This was so good and easy and different.

Verona led 3-1 going into the third.
But Wausau West scores two quick goals to start the third to tie the game at three.
Verona thinks they take the lead when Brogan Baker appears to score the goal but while the Wildcats celebrate, the officials do not stop play. But after a review they do count the goal. Verona leads 4-3.
The insurance goal comes moments later and its Nolan Kepler for his third of the game. The senior gets the hat trick in the state quarter finals.
Verona wins 6-3. They will face Green Bay Notre Dame in the state semi finals tomorrow at six.

Verona is now 26-2 on the year.
"With the roller coasters of emotions going on all game it feels awesome to get the win and I love it," said Nolan Kepler after the game.
"We have some pretty good goal scorers in Zach Jones and Charlie Parker and when you get a guy like Nolan Kepler a hard working guy that pops a few in the team really responds to that they all work hard and a guy like that gets rewarded the team is really up," said head coach Joel Marshall.

Topic: Miracle Man (Teddy) Update
We just got home from the PET Scan (what a birthday gift, yes?) and there was
a message that we got to switch to the Oncologist we wanted, another battle won. Now we sit and wait for Scan results! In the meantime I also got a call from a Medicare Case Worker with Cigna. After a half hour of chit chat about Teddy I told her about our web site and she said, "oh great, I am going on the site and copy anything that may help your case for the cyberknife!". I thought WOW! I told her how others have had it successfully and she wants to see our board. So be on your good behavior, kids! :) We now feel like we are rolling along again!
Any suggestion I offer is intended as friendly advice based solely on my own experience. Please consult your doctor for professional guidance.

Three for Three: Attorneys Focused on Pro Bono Work
Cyndie Chang ′03
Partner & Firm Pro Bono Coordinator
Duane Morris LLP
Leadership Council on Legal Diversity Fellow
Why do you think it's important for people, especially lawyers, to give back to the community?
The law is complex, and there are plenty of people out there who need assistance in navigating it. Many people do not have the luxury to obtain justice due to their limited financial means. The resources that are available to the public are insufficient to satisfy the overwhelming need. As lawyers, we are invaluable resources to the community because of our experience and knowledge of the law. Therefore, it seems reasonable to say that lawyers should help the community with their special skills, to serve the greater good.
How did you decide to go into the law?
My father convinced me that I would be a good lawyer. I was unsure as to what profession would best suit me and where I could make the most impact in the community. I previously considered a career in the field of journalism as I spent a significant amount of time working for different publications, including a local newspaper, national magazine, website and television station. I reported on issues that were of concern and interest to the public. I also enjoyed writing, analysis and problem-solving. My father, knowing my innate sense of advocacy, debated with me the merits of the practice of law as my profession. Luckily, I lost that debate and am now a litigation partner at a major law firm.
In your current role, how are you able to continue your commitment to pro bono work?
My law practice and my general philosophy embrace and encourage pro bono work. I believe that I am a better lawyer because of it. I encourage my professional colleagues inside and outside my firm to do such work. I am a president of a local bar association (the Southern California Chinese Lawyers Association, one of the oldest and largest Asian-American bar associations in the country) and an executive officer of the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association. In those leadership positions, I always endeavor to lead by example. I help facilitate and coordinate pro bono efforts and programs within those organizations, including making resources available to those in need on a in-person basis (i.e. local pro bono clinics) and making them readily available online to the public.
Michael Geibelson ′95
Partner & Member of the Executive Board
Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi, LLP
Loyola Law School Pro Bono Award Recipient - 2005
What was the determining factor in your decision to attend Loyola in pursuit of your law degree?
When I looked at law schools, what I was looking for was an opportunity to have practical experience and training. Looking at the different opportunities, it became clear to me that Loyola not only had a number of a very fine trial lawyers who were graduates but also created the opportunities for its students to go work at the superior court and in the district attorney's office, which I really thought were going to compel me to go into trial work, which is what I have done.
What role did Loyola play in encouraging your focus in practicing public interest law?
From my early days in the Public Interest Law Foundation and the opportunities to get out in the community, particularly the clinical programs that existed on campus, I knew there was the opportunity to do good along with doing well as a lawyer. Early on in my time as a law student, I was introduced to the Disability Rights Legal Center, which was housed on campus, and I started getting involved in the Cancer Legal Resource Center. A number of people in my family have cancer, so I knew that it was something I wanted to lend my advocacy skills to.
How did you get involved with pro bono work?
Our firm has helped finalize hundreds of adoptions and guardianships by assisting families with the necessary paperwork and appearing at the hearings to adopt and secure the guardianship of their relatives and foster children. In addition, our office's two pro bono coordinators are graduates of Loyola, Bernice Conn ′92 and Ed Lodgen ′91. With their guiding hand through all of the firm's activities, there have always been opportunities to find something that is meaningful to you. I have worked with Loyola's Cancer Legal Resource Center for several years, and that all started with my interest in cancer issues. People would call and seek out advice on how to get what they were entitled to, in terms of insurance or something else, as a result of a cancer diagnosis. It led to me representing people with disabilities who have been discriminated against in one way or another.
Paul Workman ′80
Executive Partner
Holland & Knight
Loyola Law School Pro Bono Award Recipient - 2013
What role did Loyola play in encouraging your interest in law practice and public service?
Both at Loyola High School and Loyola Law, I learned the importance of service to others. The Jesuits call it being a "man for others." Public service in all its forms is a way to serve others. So I guess you could say that the Law School helped to form in me the conviction of how you measure yourself as a person would depend, in part, on the extent of my service to others. Loyola provided me with a first-class legal education. And it exposed to me a great network of lawyers and judges that is still a benefit today.
As a professional, how do you find time to be involved in pro bono work?
Fortunately, my firm, Holland & Knight, is a big proponent of pro bono work. We ask that all of the lawyers in the firm commit at least 20 hours a year to pro bono representation of some sort. Years ago I began working on immigration cases. More recently, through friends at Public Counsel, I've taken on more business and consumer litigation matters.
What have been some of the most rewarding pro bono cases you have worked on?
A couple of years ago I handled a very contentious and complicated unlawful detainer dispute for Esperanza Community Housing Corporation. It involved their Mercado La Paloma development on Grand Avenue near the University of Southern California. The case required a lot of time and persistence. We eventually prevailed and the client was very happy with the result. Personally, it was very gratifying.

Boats hold great symbolic importance for the fishing communities of Tanimbar. Villages are likened to boats and their inhabitants to crews, and boat-shaped stone altars are the focus of ritual and communal gatherings.
Due to the hazardous nature of sea voyages, vessels are decorated with images of protection and anointed with magic potions. Particular attention is paid to the creation of large wooden prows featuring mythical creatures from the complementary upper and lower realms. A sea serpent with starkly defined teeth appears within the curvilinear patterns of this prow. Synonymous with the watery depths of the cosmos, reptiles are protective motifs and female symbols of fertility.

Philippa Farwell Nichols
On February 5, 2013, Philippa (Phippy) Farwell Nichols completed her incredible journey on earth, which began on February 27, 1920. Due to her strong passion for life and of her love of family, her life exceeded doctors' expectations for her battle with leukemia. Philippa was the daughter of Roy and Frances Farwell of Dodgeville, WI. She was the third generation born on the Farwell Century Farm, east of Dodgeville on the site of the present-day Folklore Village Farm.
Within her first years of life, it was discovered that Philippa was deaf. This was not the first challenge she would overcome. She moved to Madison to live with her Grandmother Cape and to begin her studies for lip reading at the age 3. Without deaf interpretation or sign language, she was the first deaf individual to be mainstreamed through West High School. She continued her education at UW-Madison as an Art Major, all without interpreters.
Together with her sister Jane Farwell, Phippy utilized her art skills and traveled the country, teaching art classes and designing brochures, hand-crafted invitations and syllabi for folkdance at the rural recreation camps and workshops they staffed. The sisters were determined to begin their own Folk Dance Camp. In 1947 in Mt. Horeb, they initiated the first Christmas Festival of folk dance, folk crafts, and traditional food preparation. This year, Folklore Village Farm, at the Farwell farmstead, celebrated its 65th Annual Festival of Christmas and Midwinter Traditions. This legacy festival has attracted families and folk artists from all over the US and beyond.
Philippa's lifelong artistic endeavors included Norwegian rosemaling on beams in the family farm house, designing announcements, family Christmas cards, Christmas festival invitations and cookbooks for church fundraisers, designing award-winning church banners, and creating cherished pieces for friends and family.
In addition to her artwork, Philippa held full time jobs with Ray-O-Vac in Madison and Carnes Corporation in Verona, from which she retired from in 1990 after 23 years.
Phippy had a wonderful green thumb and love for flowers. She and her husband Bob were socially active in both the hearing and deaf communities and enjoyed traveling the world. Philippa never wanted to miss a family gathering and showed her love by remembering birthdays and anniversaries, as well as family history. Even without words, she was a superb communicator, known for her energetic passion, playful eyes and her warm smile.
In heaven, Philippa has joined her parents, Roy and Frances Farwell, her son, Robert Bruce and her sister, Jane Farwell. She leaves behind her beloved husband of 57 years, Robert E. Nichols, and her daughter Kristi Jane (Scott) Kading. The Nichols/Kading families wish to thank Heartland Hospice for the fabulous attention and in-home support they provided during Phippy's last weeks at home. We also want to thank Dr. Tyler Steward and staff at the UW Clinic and Dr. Cate Ranheim of Meriter hospital for their special care and support.
A celebration of the life of Philippa Farwell Nichols will be held on Sunday, February 24, 2013, from 1-3 pm at Folklore Village Farm, 3210 County Road BB, Dodgeville, WI 53533. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Folklore Village, Dodgeville, or to Our Savior Deaf Lutheran Church, Madison, WI.

If you don't have plans for Christmas dinner or need some post-NYE food therapy, here are some Chinese spots that are open if you're too lazy to plan something, don't celebrate, are having trouble finding something that's open, or, quite wisely, just love you some Chinese food…
Make your way to Chinatown and hit up Mon Nan on Rue de la Gauchetière. They do an awesome traditional three-course roasted Peking duck. Starting with a soup made with the duck bones, it's aromatic and warm. With pillows of tofu and silky strands of noodles, this dish is preceded with a duck meat stir-fry with bean sprouts and scallions.
This ritualistic "dish" is concluded with a plate of teeth-shattering roasted duck skin, served with piping hot and freshly made Chinese pancakes, a side of pickled carrots and daikon, and shredded scallions and cucumber. This is wrapped up and eaten with like a taco with a schmear of hoisin… a "Chaco". Open on Christmas and New Year's Day.
Looking for a hot bowl of something to warm your bones and sooth the soul? Head up to Restaurant Phouc Ky in Villeray for their specialty Phouc Ky noodle. A mix of yellow wheat udon noodles and rice vermicelli noodles in a rich pork bone broth is armed and ready to curse the weather away. Topped with ground pork, slices of fish cake and fried shallots, the pièce de résistance is a fried shrimp chip. Open on Christmas and New Year's Day.
La Maison Foo Lam on L'acadie is the place you want to go for fresh seafood. This spot features live tanks of sea creatures that you can name before you watch the chef catch them and throw them in a screaming hot wok.
Two must-orders are the ginger and scallion fried lobster and salt and spicy pepper fried shrimp. The smokey kiss of the wok is distinct in every piece of crustacean on either dish. The savory lobster that's spiced with ginger and aromatic with green onion and the spicy shrimp is fried to a crusty perfection – the shell is edible for the adventurous. Either dish are ones that deserve to be washed down with an icy bottle of Tsingtao. Open Christmas and New Year's Day.
If dumplings is what you're after, Qing Hua Dumplings has you covered. Offering awesome little bundles of soup dumplings of a variety of fillings made fresh to order, Qing Hua has two locations to help you get your fix. The lamb and coriander dumplings are a personal favourite; fill your bowl partway with vinegar and place the dumpling in and let it cool. Resist the urge to bite into it right away, as the dumpling will challenge you by squirting its contents all over you. Nibble a little hole and suck the soup out, and let nature lead you the rest of the way. Open New Year's Day at both locations.

It's a recent Saturday night at Chum's (né Cholmondeley's, a boozeless on-campus pub at Brandeis), and a couple of dozen respectable-looking young men and about as many girls in smart party dresses are waiting for the night's band, Big Bear, to do whatever rock bands are supposed to do when they show up on campus.
"So, what are you studying?" guitarist Joel Roston asks from the stage.
"Rock and roll!" volunteers some dude who's less respectable than he looks.
"Well, prepare to fail that subject, my friend!", Joel fires back. And then, after a pause: "I have no idea what I meant by that. I think I thought it would be vaguely self-deprecating."
From there Big Bear launch into a song filled with so much elated lurching, brutal collapse, and skyward release that it makes me think of multiple orgasms. And not histrionic music-critic bullshit orgasms — real ones, maybe even animal ones. The assembly of unprepared students respond to the volume by retreating into a protective arc formation and ransacking their purses for tissues to stuff in their ears.
Of course, scaring people away isn't Big Bear's primary objective. This band's goal involves sharing, communicating, dissolving illusions, achieving a better understanding of one another. You'd think university types would eat this up.
"What I'm trying to do with music," Roston tells me later, "is say, 'Let's have a thoughtful, open dialogue about whatever this strange condition is that we're all in." No question, Big Bear's music is rich enough with meticulous subtleties, jarring surprises, primitive thralls, and postmodern thrills to engage any listener game for being, well, engaged. But imagine King Kong joining your book club and you start to understand why Big Bear aren't always met with the reception some might think they deserve. Rather than name bands whom they may or may not sound like, let's just say they exist as a branch of hardcore — though it's more like a knot in the trunk. The melodies spelled out by Roston's guitar and new addition Joanne Dill's sweet Juno can only be likened to another language, one with foreign sounds and cadences. Meanwhile, the way the engine of Jonathan Sparks on drums and David Altman on bass propels the songs forward without ever resorting to a groove seems to defy physics. At the center is vocalist Jordyn Bonds, who has broadened her awesomely disproportionate shriek of old into a forceful, soaring, breathless, desperate holler. And she still keeps time with a tambourine that she whacks against a skid of cardboard taped to her leg.
When Big Bear first started playing, in 2003, hardcore kids tried their hardcore best to embrace them, but it was like babies trying butterscotch. The band ended up getting bitched out on-line for not playing every VFW floorpunch fest they were offered — not doing this, not seeming that, and eventually (gasp!) not actually being hardcore at all! Although this rocky start didn't derail their five subsequent years of successful shows with a like-minded cohort of Parts and Labor, Oneida, the Dirty Projectors, and Pterodactyl, it does illustrate the inherent problem of being a genre-bending band. They're always the loudest ones on the bill or the weirdest ones in the basement. My two-year-old nephew thinks they sound like the sun.

Jack Black was Jack Austin, a NASA astronaut who, after being bombarded with solar radiation, becomes "8 times smarter than the smartest human" when exposed to sunlight.
THe evil NASA wants to capture him, so they send Ron Silver, former astornaut and sometimes actor (being played by Ron Silver naturally ) to hunt hom down.
Jack is partnered with Heat Vision, a motorcycle who used to be Jack's unemployed roommate Doug. Doug was shot with an experimental ray aimed at Jack that melded him with the motorcycle he was sitting on. Doug/Heat Vision sounds alot like Owen Wilson.
And the whole thing was directed by an Emmy Winning Ben Stiller.
Sound too good to be true? Can't wait to see it? Wondering which channel to tune in to catch this monumental show?
Well, tough luck. FOX never picked this series up in '99 so the only episode is the pilot, where a line cook (played by Vincent Schiavelli) is invaded by an alien calling itself Paragon. Heat Vision and Jack have to stop the evil Paragon, avoid Ron Silver and convince the beautiful local sheriff (played by Mrs. Ben Stiller) not to call NASA and turn Jack in.
And the only way to see it is to get ahold of one of the few bootlegs circulating the back rooms and dark alleys...

Split is spectacular
Unfortunately, I have found myself here in the middle of the holiday season - the place teeming wih tourists - mainly croatian - enjoying their yearly 2 week summer holiday. It's busy - not quite 'Yangshuo during May week' busy, but still fucking busy. Despite this, it hasn't been too difficult to find a reasonably quiet spot on the beach, swim and relax. Bacvice beach, according to one of the locals running my hotel (we'll call him Goran because that's his name), is the most beautiful beach in Split 'as long as you don't mind sand beaches', seemingly suggesting that some crazy people may object to sand beaches, which are clearly far superior
Perhaps the worst thing that can be said about the beaches, and this lifestyle, is that they are a meditteranean cliche - the yachts bobbing in the secluded bays more likely than not to house a 'Diana toe-sucking' like scandal, to appear in tomorrow's tabloids. The bronzed men rarely wearing shirts; the sophisticated women smoking on the terraces; vespers; bad european dance music (las ketchup - killing me); are all to be expected as part of this mid-July snapshot but are still amusing and slightly surprising when they actually occur, like Australian accents in an Australian feature film. It's not such a bad cliche to be living...
Split, at this time of year at least, is certainly a playground for Croatians and other europeans alike. That the croatians enjoy such wonderful leisure time, very similar to Australia, in the summer, is quite remarkable considering their recent history. Such is the freshness of the war, there has been a certain reluctance to discuss anything political or war related; understandably so; insight about this period is difficult to attain
So, Split. A city of cafes, beaches, historical significance, beautiful women and, if visited at the right time of year, football hoolaganism - what's there not to like? A beautiful place that has induced me to stay for longer than planned.
And so to the Top 5. Well, having spent a large proportion of my time in Split cafes, I feel at least slightly qualified to cast some judgment over them. Frankly, they are one of the best ways to spend the long, hot Split days, writing, reading, people-watching, thinking about the great hings about these cafes. And so, after much thought, the Top 5 things about Split Cafes:
5. The fact that they serve no food at all, and the waitresses say 'No. We don't do food. We are a cafe'.
4. Cockta - not coke. not chinotto. Somewhere in between. Genius.
3. Chess - everywhere. Knight to b3.
2. $1 coffees - unheard of since the good old guild coffee days.
1. Swing chairs - aka chairs like swings. Like on the porch of a manor in the southern US states. Brilliant...

Eco-friendly, low-mercury arctic char is less fishy than its more popular cousin, salmon.
Leave a Review
This is just a review for the char part- 10 minutes was too long, at least for my fillets.
I didn't make the fish, but I made the salad because I was hankering for a cold lentil side dish. I thought it was amazing! And I am making it with the char to take with me for a thanksgiving get together, as I don't eat turkey. I would NEVER sub Trader Joe's for homemade. These lentils are perfect!
First time cooking Arctic Char, and it was okay but we prefer salmon fillets; no bones to remove for one thing. Will make this again but will also use the Trader Joe suggestion for lentils because mine came out mushy. All in all there were great flavors here; try it.
Fantastic and easy dish. The salad was perfect for a light spring dinner and would pair well with any fish or just on it's own. I used canned, drained lentils and a sweet onion.
As other reviewers noted, I increased OJ, zest, and onions which gave the lentils a great orange savor. I also heated them for 10 minutes in a sauce pan because I wanted to serve the fish over warmed lentils. I served steamed spinach with the dish. Since I live in CA, char isn't readily available, so I made this with Alaskan halibut. While still great, I would make it next time with wild salmon. I think halibut was too dry and salmon would have been a better and moister choice. Also, I think the great orange flavor would have been a great compliment to the heartier salmon flavor. That's my reason for the three star rating. I think with the right fish, this is definitely a four star recipe that's easy and very healthy!
We made ours with Flounder and it was really tasty. I did warm my lentils a bit since we were having the dish on a snowy night and look forward to having it again in the warmth of spring!
This was excellent! And such a snap to make. I highly recommend it!
This is a great solid recipe that is quick and easy to make. The flavors in the lentils are subtle, and thus you may want to add a bit more orange zest and use fresh squeezed orange juice. I made it with salmon (only fish I had in the house) and it was wonderful. Put in lots of fresh mint from the garden--yummy!
Trader Joe's lentils are great & saved time. Increased the quantity of fish per person. Added more mustard, vinegar, and red onions. I baked it as called on the recipe. Was wonderful.
Used Trader Joe's steamed lentils and increased the vinaigrette by half, based on other reviewers' advice. Terrific! Leftover lentils even better the next day with dijon-mustard-and-caper-slathered broiled bluefish fillets.

What's the difference?
Not a lot says I.
Okay. Down to the business of writing a diary entry.
My Adventures into XSL
I had written a customization layer for Norm's stylesheets and today I broke it up into pieces. Trying to find the best way to break it up is not too easy. Depends how much stuff is going to be customized is the determination for now. I found out how to turn off the formalized procedure using the formal.procedure, but am stumped as to how to customize it into the role attribute.
<xsl:template match="procedure"> <xsl:if test="@role='informal'"> <xsl:param name="formal.procedure">0</xsl:param> </xsl:if> <insert rest of procedure template> </xsl:template>The above doesn't work well. Need to ask DV or LotR about it tomorrow. Just looked at bugzilla and will prolly try to fix jfleck's bugs wrt the procedure tag. I haven't heard back from the gnome-doc-list about the stylesheet modularization proposal.
Need to write something for Gnumeric's documentation since I do have a deadline of Dec. 1
This week is homecoming at OSU and boy am I excited. Pep rally Friday night to play at, 2 mile parade to march in, marching band practice right afterwards with hundreds of HS kiddies around, and don't forget the football game we're going to lose. No, win...we have the same conference record as KState (0-4) so there might be hope. Oh, Nebraska will trounces OU too. Cannot think of anything else to ramble about. Bye all you who actually read this.

Bowie locks in on four gym options
Bowie officials appear to have reached a final four in proposals for a new sports facility, The Gazette reports. Clearwater, Fla.-based Sports Facility Advisors, a company hired to examine the city's athletic needs, recommended either an indoor pool, a larger ice arena to replace the current one, more basketball courts or an indoor turf facility.
Construction of another indoor athletic facility is not planned until fiscal 2018 with the city estimating costs at about $10 million, said David Deutsch, the Bowie city manager.

A lecture series on "Presidential Leadership in Times of Crisis" will include four talks between Oct. 3 and Nov. 20 examining how Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson and Abraham Lincoln faced the country's challenges.

|The Quintessential Trout Trout angling is the core of flyfishing worldwide.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:Walden Report
Hah! I did the same thing about two years ago. Went to Walden on a lunch hour [with a fishing rod] and saw all manner of trout porpoising and leaping around that cove. They were so freshly stocked that they weren't interested in feeding, just in swimming around in something that wasn't concrete. There was even a dead trout on the ramp that had been squished by the stocking truck.
So, uh, where are these alders that you like?
Walden Report
I went to Walden pond on my lunch hour yesterday to walk and maybe see some fishing. I parked in the lot across the street from the pond for free. As I crossed the street 2 older gents with spinning gear were on their way out with a stringer of 3 or 4 ~14" rainbows. When I got down to the shore I noticed 2 guys to the left of the bath house waist high in water fly casting. I walked over to observe. As I approached the men I noticed a big splash between them. Neither redirected their fly to the rise. Hmmm? Then I noticed another splash, then about 5 more at one instant. I thought what the heck? Smallys mating? Then a guy comes walking down the shore with a spinning rod and asks as he passes "how many they put in?" One of the flycasters says "he told me 700, butI'm not sure". I turn around to see I'm standing on the stalking truck roadway. These fish were just hanging around that inlet, jumping like crazy. I've never been that close to a stock before. Made me long for the brookies in the alders up in....ah...well...near central mass.

Artist's rendering of Laurel Village
New Laurel Village offers comfort, security
By Shelley Kilpatrick
Student Writer, College of Liberal and Fine Arts
(Aug. 29, 2007)--In the third story of a series on UTSA construction projects, Laurel Village is the latest addition to on-campus student housing. Developing on-campus housing is part of the UTSA mission to increase student success and achieve premier university status. It has been shown that student success is aided by living on campus with easier access to services and other support.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy

Laurel Village is the second UTSA-owned and operated student housing facility. In November 2006, construction began on the $39,182,000 project. This month, the first phase of the project opened with living quarters for 206 residents. In Summer 2008, Phase II will be complete with an additional 470 beds and a total project covering 185,000 square feet.
"Our demand for student housing has been so high that both Chaparral Village and Laurel Village were filled up by April," said John White, UTSA executive director of housing and residential life. "Laurel Village gives more space for students who want two-bedroom housing, and so far everyone that has seen it loves it."
Before the residence opening, I saw one of the four-bedroom suites. The living rooms are fully furnished and include a couch, chairs, dining room table and TV stand. Also, new students receive a phone book and a welcome package.
The bedrooms come furnished with an adjustable bed and desk, and each bedroom has a ceiling fan and cable TV outlet. The kitchen includes a full-sized refrigerator and a microwave, and the bathrooms include a full-sized tub. All utilities are included in the rent, and students can subscribe to Time Warner local and long-distance telephone, cable and high-speed Internet services.
The units and the bedrooms are accessed by UTSACard, and there are built-in latches on the bedroom doors to secure personal belongings. The UTSA Police Department coordinates security, which will include fences, cameras and emergency telephones.
Additionally, the facility features a "city center" with a computer lab, conference room, study rooms, community kitchens and basketball court. The neighborhood centers and recreation areas will include a laundry room, big-screen TVs, pool tables and foosball tables.
The monthly rent that pays for construction of the new housing is divided into 10 payments. To ease the burden on students, one payment is split in half with the first paid in August and the second paid in May. Also, the housing office will work with students and the Office of Financial Aid to help with payments. Finally, all students must sign up for a meal plan paid in three installments.

Named after Chafee's father who was the 66th governor of Rhode Island, secretary of the Navy and a U.S. senator, the award is presented to political science majors who have demonstrated academic achievement and a strong record of public and community service.
The ceremony opened with remarks by RIC President Nancy Carriuolo who recounted the highlights of Sen. John Chafee's "very rich life of public service." She also noted that the Chafee award is "near and dear" to the heart of the college because of the college's long history of preparing students for public service in the state. This is no better exemplified than in the accomplishments of this year's Chafee award recipients.
Costa is president of RIC's Student Community Government, Inc., and is double majoring in political science and communication. She has interned at the State House and assisted in political campaigns. She was also an associate producer for NBC 10's 2012 election coverage and has hosted her own political talk show on RIC's WXIN radio station. Costa is a member of Lambda Pi Eta (the communication department honor society) and a member of Who's Who Among American Colleges and Universities.
Pascoa is a political science major concentrating in public administration. He has interned for U.S. Rep. David Cicilline and state Rep. Larry Valencia. During the 2012 election, Pascoa was campaign manager for East Providence City Council Rep. Helder Cunha. In February 2013 Pascoa was appointed by East Providence Mayor James Briden to serve on the East Providence Zoning Board.
Both Costa and Pascoa are members of Pi Sigma Alpha, the RIC political science department honor society.
"Receiving the John H. Chafee Award is extremely gratifying and validating," Costa said. "I owe a great deal to the faculty, staff and fellow students here at Rhode Island College who served as support systems for all of my initiatives, dreams and goals. This award serves as a reminder as to why I put the time and effort into serving my community."
Award recipient Pascoa emphasized the importance of public service. He said, "Public service affects all of us. It's a call to action aimed at improving not just our individual lives but the lives of others as well. It's an honor to have been chosen as one of this year's award recipients."
Joining the ceremony to honor the students were Costa and Pascoa's family; Ron Pitt, vice president for academic affairs; Gary Penfield, vice president for student affairs; Earl Simson, dean of the faculty of arts and sciences; and Thomas Schmeling, associate professor of political science.
"The political science faculty want our students to excel academically but also hope that they will recognize and embrace the importance of service to the public," Schmeling said. "Hillary Costa and Gary Pascoa exemplify both of these ideals."

IMDS as automobile industry standard
IMDS compliance and design advantages
Today automotive, aircraft, toy and electronics manufacturers, and a growing list of others, are required to keep extensive materials data to comply with global regulations and environmental laws on such concerns as hazardous substances. HP International Material Data System (IMDS, www.mdsystem.com) provides a database of information on components and materials to make compliance easier.
There is a high cost for each manufacturer to assemble, store, and maintain such information. The ability to selectively share materials information with similar companies would be costly, too. IMDS was created by HP for an association of manufacturers to make supplier facts accessible economically. Its security policies keep proprietary information protected while other information is shared.
As a manufacturer, you need a materials system maintained 24/7 for your designers around the world. It's easy with IMDS—already the world automotive standard—or an HP standard solution for your industry.
Global materials database
IMDS enables you to create, manage, receive and analyze materials information for regulatory compliance and design improvements.
Suppliers provide 100% disclosure of substances contained in each part or device. With one click you get an analysis of the substances involved in a component. IMDS versions and sorts your data. It provides a full overview of the materials built into your products, via different languages and part-numbering systems.
IMDS is web-accessible and independent of your system architecture. Highly password-protected, it gives you an international communication medium for manufacturing.
Green, global manufacturing
Worldwide, there is a clear trend toward greener legislation. Once there were only four heavy metals restricted by legislation; today there are many more substances. REACH legislation has added still more to the list. To comply with laws, it's vital for manufacturers and suppliers to have worldwide knowledge of restricted substances and know which substances are included in their components.
The need to share and access information is huge, not only for compliance but also for economic and competitive advantages in product design. But the cost of collecting and maintaining the data is prohibitive. We make it easy with IMDS for automotive and the HP Compliance Data Exchange (CDX), an HP standard solution, for other manufacturing industries.

It always seems like pitching gets better in pre-season only to crumble out of the gates. I have no idea why the hell the rotation cannot have two solid starters, Nova has pitched well but I ask myself how long it is going to last and Kuroda pitches one great game and then a spotty one, I hope he finds the same rhythm that Wang did.
CC and Mo, without em' the team is buried right now, I hope the Andy man can give us a solid number three when he comes back.

If you're anything like me, prying your pre-teen away from video games and out into the fresh air can be a challenge. However, since my 12-year-old son Jack has seen me training for the Lake Taupo Cycling Challenge he's been keen to hit the road with me. Given I'm still coming to terms with my own training, I thought it would be useful to talk to someone in the know about suitable levels of training for a child. So I had a chat with Lynne Munro, the Regional Development Coordinator for Bike NZ who heads up their school cycling programmes.
Remind them about the basics
Support from parents is the key, according to Munroe. Kids don't have the same perception of health and wellbeing that adults do and their bodies don't handle the same stresses, so we need to make sure our kids have the basics during a ride. Take a few layers of clothing and plenty of water. Keep reminding them to sip at regular intervals throughout the session, which is more regularly than we would. And have plenty of snacks handy.
Children under 10 can handle up to three hours per week in 30 minute sessions whereas 11 to 12-year-olds can handle up to 1½ hour sessions or around 30kms. Start off with a 10km ride and add another few kilometers each time you go out. As kids get older you can increase the distance.
Building confidence on the bike
Munroe believes the most important thing about getting kids on bikes is building their confidence. There's a big difference between a leisurely ride at the park, cycling on a road in busy traffic and pedalling in event with hundreds of other cyclists. Help your child practice basic road rules and traffic awareness. Munroe says there's no hard and fast rule about what age a child can ride on a road, it's more about judging their level of confidence on the bike first. Focus on mastering bike handling skills before hitting busy streets - can your child maintain stability on their bike while looking over their shoulder to check for traffic? Is your child able to ride one handed while drinking from their water bottle?
You can join group rides at local cycle shop which are generally run early on Saturdya and Sunday mornings. Heaps of cycle clubs also run regular rides and offer a wealth of experience and support for interested riders, young and old. Engaging the services of a coach is also useful. Bike NZ have a large database of accredited coaches willing to work with individual riders, families or groups.
* You can still enter your child in the under 10s leg (5kms) of the Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge on 24 November or you might like to get some other parents and kids together as a team and tackle the relay (4x40kms). Riders can also pedal to raise money for the charity @kids during the race - supporting children with heart conditions.

Serves 6
Tender baby backs get big flavor from a quartet of seasonings—a spice rub, a tangy mop that keeps the ribs moist on the grill, hickory wood smoke, and a sweet-tart glaze and dipping sauce.
Whisk the rub ingredients together in a small bowl. Whisk the mop ingredients together in another small bowl. Set both aside.
Sprinkle the spice rub evenly over both sides of the ribs. Transfer the ribs to a large baking sheet and let stand while the grill heats.
Light a charcoal or gas grill fire and set it up for indirect cooking over medium-low (300°F) heat: If using a charcoal grill, bank the lit and ashed-over coals to one side of the grill. Cover the grill and adjust the vents as needed to reach 300°F.
Put an 8x11-inch foil drip pan on the charcoal grate next to the coals and fill it halfway with water. Sprinkle the soaked hickory chips over the coals. Replace the grill grate and clean it. If using a gas grill, turn off one or more of the burners and adjust the active burners to reach 300°F. Remove the grill grate, put an 8x11-inch foil drip pan directly on the inactive burner(s), and fill it halfway with water. Use two layers of heavy-duty aluminum foil to make a V-shaped packet to hold the wood chips. Set the packet between the active burners. Sprinkle the dry chips into the packet. Once they are smoking, sprinkle a handful of the soaked chips over the dry chips to create even more smoke. Replace the grill grate and clean it.
If using a rib rack (see tip), put it on the grill grate over the drip pan and arrange the ribs in the rack. If not, put the ribs directly on the grill grate over the drip pan and inactive burners. Brush both sides of the ribs with some of the mop. Cover the grill and cook until the meat begins to pull back from the ends of the bones, about 45 minutes.
Transfer the ribs to a baking sheet, lift the grill grate, and if using a gas grill, add the remaining soaked hickory chips to the foil packet. If using a charcoal grill, add about 1/2 quart charcoal to the lit coals to maintain the temperature. Replace the grill grate and return the ribs to the grill, flipping them if not in a rib rack. Brush again with more of the mop. Grill about 45 minutes more.
Flip the ribs again, if necessary, moving the farthest slabs nearer the coals or burners (and adding about 1/2 quart more charcoal to the coals to maintain the temperature). Brush with more of the mop, cover, and continue to cook until the meat is tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 1 hour more. Transfer the ribs to a platter. Discard any remaining mop.
While the ribs are cooking, melt the butter in a 3-quart heavy-duty saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the preserves, chili sauce, 1/2 cup of the bourbon, the vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and chile; bring to a simmer. Lower the heat to low and simmer, stirring often, until reduced to about 3 cups, about 20 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1 Tbs. bourbon and remove from the heat.
Carefully remove the foil pan and water from the grill. For a charcoal grill, add 3 more quarts charcoal to the lit coals and let them burn until covered with white ash. Adjust the vents again so the grill temperature reaches about 350°F. Spread the coals in a single layer. Replace the grill grate and clean and oil it. For a gas grill, remove the foil packet, adjust the heat to 350°F by turning on all the burners. Replace the grill grate and clean and oil it.
Arrange the ribs on the grill grate and brush with some of the sauce. Cover and cook until sizzling, about 3 minutes. Flip and brush with more sauce. Cover and cook until sizzling, about 3 minutes more. Flip again and cook for 2 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, let rest for about 5 minutes, and then cut between the bones into individual ribs. Serve with the remaining sauce.
You can smoke the ribs and make the sauce up to 1-1/2 hours ahead. Loosely cover the ribs with foil, and keep them at cool room temperature. Brush them with sauce and finish them on the grill just before serving.
