MICHIGAN BRIEFS: Albion students stay on track after Marshall merger
Last spring, the Albion Public Schools Board of Education closed the district's high school because of budget troubles and, starting this school year, sent its ninth- through 12th-graders to nearby Marshall High School. So how's the consolidation going? The Battle Creek Enquirer took a look.
On one hand, the rate of punished students has risen, although Albion students aren't getting into any more trouble than when they were in their own high school. Albion students' overall grade-point average dropped from 2.61 at the end of the last school year in Albion to 2.52 at the end of the first semester in Marshall. But Albion awarded extra points for an A-plus, while Marshall does not.
Of particular concern of Albion residents: Mostly black, low-income Albion combined with almost all-white, middle-class Marshall and how their students would be treated in the new environment. One of the biggest critics of the merger, Albion City Councilman Maurice Barnes, now says he is "just shocked and amazed" at the atmosphere at the school, adding that after seeing the students interact, "I had to say, 'Maurice, you need to get yourself out of the way.' "
Rich DeVos memoir: Co-founder of Amway shares family stories
MLive.com notes that Rich DeVos, one of the co-founders of Ada-based Amway Corp., has a memoir on bookshelves (you remember those, right?) and online. Simply Rich: Life and Lessons From the Cofounder of Amway debuted last week.
Dick and Doug DeVos, sons of the author, told MLive that their favorite story in the book involves their father and his best friend and Amway's other co-founder, Jay Van Andel, and the time they tried to sail around South America, only to have their boat capsize. Which suggests that even someone worth an estimated $6.9 billion can't buy immunity from his children's abuse.
Bell's retains its spot among nation's biggest craft brewers
Comstock-based Bell's Brewery Inc. remains the No. 7 craft brewer in the United States when measured by production. It also was ranked 13th for overall brewing, moving up one spot from 2013.
The Colorado-based Brewers Association, a trade association that represents small and independent American craft brewers, last week released its annual list of the top 50 craft and overall brewing companies in the United States.
Grand Rapids-based Founders Brewing Co. was the only other Michigan brewery to make the list, rising four spots on the craft brewing list to 26th place.
Small village faces prospect of losing insurance coverage
The Saginaw County village of Oakley faces losing its insurance coverage over issues that include lawsuits against city officials and the police chief. Oakley's insurance provider, the Michigan Municipal League, plans to drop the policy for the village of 300 when it expires July 1, The Saginaw News reported.
• Shares of Battle Creek-based Kellogg Co., maker of breakfast cereals and other packaged food, rose 6 percent Thursday, the most in almost five years. The options trading signaled activity similar to what happened right before Berkshire Hathaway Inc. bought HJ Heinz Co. last year, said Christopher Rich, head options strategist at JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC in Chicago.
• Wyoming-based Gordon Food Service Inc. said it has acquired Houston-based Glazier Foods Co., a food service distributor, MiBiz reported. The acquisition would mark Gordon Food's first foray into Texas. Terms were not disclosed.
• Kettering University in Flint has the best return on investment among Michigan colleges and ranks 41st nationally, according to annual rankings compiled by Payscale.com. Rankings are based on total cost and the earning potential of alumni.
• This is as close as Michigan gets to the Final Four this year: The floor being used for the games was put together in the Upper Peninsula town of Amasa in a plant owned by Salt Lake City-based Connor Sport Court International. It takes at least 30 trees to manufacture the floor, which consists of 350 4-by-7-foot panels.

You can read a detailed history of the place in Wikipedia, but in summary an estimated 40-70,000 bodies were buried in the grounds of the chapel, and in the 1800's a half-blind monk decided to do some interior decorating with the bones, including a chandelier containing all the bones of the human body.
The place leaves you rather lost for words, but we managed to come up with "amazing", "oh wow" and "obscene' . The display is supposed to remind you of your mortality, but I found the whole place so far past bad taste it was back into good again! Definitely worth a visit.
Icecream in the shop opposite was pretty good too...

It's summer, and that means it's time to get outside and have some fun. It also means water, either at the beach or the lake or just running through the sprinkler on the front lawn. We all want to capture those moments, especially when we have kids, but it can be a risky endeavor. Phones do not like water and tend to sink to the bottom of things like lakes, which makes snapping the perfect picture very risky. LifeProof has two great solutions to the problem of taking your iPhone into less-than-friendly environments.
I reviewed the LifeProof iPhone Case a few months back, and it's proven to be a fantastic case to have this summer. It protects your iPhone from dirt and water and still lets you take pictures, talk, and otherwise use your phone just like normal. I've taken it to the beach and pool and gotten some great pictures. My only complaint has been that I worry about dropping it and watching it sink like a stone if I'm in deep water. The latest edition to the LifeProof product line, the LifeJacket, removes that worry by encasing your iPhone in a bright orange float.

there's a new tardis out that has lights and sound that are motion activated and an interior space to get figures in. plus the public telephone hatch on the front door opens up. I'll review it once i get it in my hands.
not going to say anything much but season three is mixed and has some decent episodes and a decent story arc running through. Martha and her Mum develop well. and there's some nice nods to the original run of Who for anyone who saw that.
season four just started filming.

Why waste the time and effort of traveling to another city, state or even country to have a conference meeting when you could do so in the comfort of your own home, without having to leave your loved ones?
Meeting face to face, whether it be with corporate stakeholders or an employee, has never been so painstakingly simple. No matter where you're located, and whether you're on a laptop, smart phone or tablet, you can harness the benefits of video conferencing and personal telepresence to improve your business communications right now.
Why Would Your Business Even Need Video Conferencing?
Before you decide to even learn the benefits of video conderencing and personal telepresence, you need to ask yourself why you really need it. Is it to allow executives who lack necessary time to meet virtually face to face to discuss issues and resolve problems?
Could you use video conferencing for face to face training, to answer
questions or have discussions with new or potential employees? Do you
need important face time with a potential client and want to bring together the key decision makers from their various locations? If you
could make use of the above key points, then you probably need an easy
to use video conferencing tool that streams flawlessly in HD quality.
DIY Or Outsource to a Provider?
Now that you have an idea of the benefits and how your company can
benefit from personal telepresence, it's time to decide whether you
want to take the do it yourself route of putting extra pressure on your
IT staff or utilize a service provider.
A few of the key benefits that come with outsourcing all of your video conferencing needs are:
- The most cost-effective benefit is that you never have to pay excessive amounts for video conferencing servers, most of which which will become outdated within a few years.
- You gain access to a qualified, courteous customer support team that is able to resolve any issues or technical problems you may encounter.
- You never have to hire extra employees or re-train within your IT staff.
- A turn-key solution that allows your business to immediately adopt a new communication tool and start conferencing.
Many believe video conferencing is the future of the old-fashioned "corporate meeting", and they just might be right. Don't let the distance between employees get in the way of your company's productivity, take a leap forward and make the upgrade to using personal telepresence in your business today!

Counting fans and followers reveals something about your social media reach. But it tells you almost nothing about whether your social media initiatives are driving customers to the next phase of their journey. Are your Facebook fans more likely to recommend your organization than your Twitter followers? Are your fans and followers more likely to do business with you? Is your social presence having an impact on how your customers view your company and their likelihood to make a purchase? It's time to find out.
See How Social Media Impacts Customer Experience
ForeSee CX Measure for Social is powered by our proven approach to customer experience measurement and is designed to help you gauge the effectiveness of your social initiatives in the context of the broader customer journey. CX Measure for Social helps you determine how your social media presence influences your customers beyond what you get from behavioral metrics, so you'll know how your social media initiatives impact desired customer behaviors such as likelihood to purchase, recommend and return.
Key Features
With ForeSee CX Measure for Social, you can measure performance, gain intelligence about your social community, and prioritize and optimize your social initiatives. Whether you're directing a standalone social media campaign designed to drive word-of-mouth and promote overall brand awareness, or a short-term initiative in support of a broader campaign, CX Measure for Social accurately measures the effectiveness of your customers' complete social experience and uncovers dimensions of your social initiatives that drive visitors to desired outcomes. CX Measure for Social helps you gain deeper insight so you can:
Discover Your Social Impact
- Are customers who interact with you via social media more satisfied with your company? More likely to make a purchase? More likely to recommend? CX Measure for Social lets you quantify the impact your social initiatives have on key customer behaviors.
Understand Your Social Audience
- Are your most valuable fans and followers really who you think they are? Our analytics portals make it easy for you to view your social media audience in aggregate and by type (e.g., Twitter followers, Facebook fans, YouTube viewers, etc.), and in terms of demographics, behavior and frequency of use.
Identify and Prioritize Improvements
- Focus your resources where they matter most. Discover which social platforms have the greatest impact on the customer experience, and shape plans to improve your social strategy.
Cut Through the Noise
- Just because a customer doesn't mention you in a Tweet, "like" one of your posts or click on an advertisement doesn't mean he or she wasn't influenced by your social presence. CX Measure for Social gives you insight about your social audience you can't get from behavioral data alone.
Take Verbatims to Vivid Insights
- Harness actionable insights from open-ended comments with ForeSee Sentiment Analytics and quantify positive and negative sentiment for deeper understanding of customer needs.
Measuring satisfaction and future behaviors helps us know if our social media initiatives further our goals.

United Airlines exits its Cleveland hub
Ohio city faces difficulties similar to US Airways axing Pittsburgh in '04February 3, 2014 11:00 PM
On Thursday night, a Cleveland business group threw a party to tout the new issue of United Airlines' inflight magazine, which has a big spread about the city, home to one of its hubs. Some 250 people, including United executives, attended.
Two days later, the airline had a much different story to tell the city -- it would be shutting down the hub.
Nearly 20 years after Art Modell shocked Cleveland by saying that he would move the Browns to Baltimore, United delivered a blow of its own, announcing Saturday that it would close its money-draining hub by June, slash service by 64 percent and eliminate 470 jobs.
By the time the airline is done cutting, its average daily departures from Hopkins International Airport will plummet from 200 to 72 and the number of nonstop markets it serves will fall from 59 to 20.
With the reductions, Cleveland will lose service to Oklahoma City, Philadelphia, Nashville, Minneapolis, Atlanta, Buffalo, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Phoenix, Toronto and, yes, Pittsburgh, among others.
Overall, it will be left with 140 daily departures to 32 cities.
"I think the director and the mayor said it best. They were taken aback. I don't think they were shocked. I think, if anything, they were more disappointed because they had worked so very hard with United to create a place for them," said Jacqueline Mayo, an airport spokeswoman.
In a letter to Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson, United blamed the decision on "significant financial losses" at the airport and a change in regulations affecting regional jet flying. It said that most of the cuts would involve regional departures, not mainline service.
The move came despite a concerted four-year effort by Ohio politicians and business leaders to safeguard the hub after Continental Airlines became part of United in 2010. They launched a "United for the Hub" campaign and urged travelers to fly the airline even if it cost more than taking another carrier.
In the end, it didn't matter.
"We regret the actions we have to take, but we have no choice. Our hub in Cleveland hasn't been profitable for over a decade and has generated tens of millions of dollars of annual losses in recent years. We simply cannot continue to bear these losses," United stated in its letter to Mr. Jackson.
The Thursday night reception to celebrate the United's inflight magazine coverage was organized by the Greater Cleveland Partnership, the region's chamber of commerce, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The newspaper reported that United officials who spoke at the event had kind words for the city.
"We're celebrating this great thing, and now this is happening," Ms. Mayo said.
Despite a bitter rivalry on the football field, if anyone can commiserate with what Cleveland is going through, it is Pittsburgh, which lost its US Airways hub in 2004.
Over the past 13 years, the airline, now part of American Airlines, has cut the number of daily nonstop flights at Pittsburgh International from a high of 542 to 41 today. Employment has plunged from a peak of 12,000 jobs to 1,800. Pittsburgh will lose another 600 jobs over the next 18 months as American closes a flight operations control center in Moon and transfers the work to Dallas-Fort Worth.
Once United is finished cutting in Cleveland, Pittsburgh and its rival will be nearly even in terms of daily departures, 139 to 140, and nonstop destinations, 36 to 32.
William Lauer, an Allegheny Capital Inc. principal who has followed the airline industry for years, said losing hubs is the kind of bad news mid-sized cities need to get used to. He noted that airlines have shut down such facilities in Cincinnati, Memphis and Salt Lake City in recent years.
He suspects a former US Airways hub in Phoenix will be next, though American has vowed to maintain it. He said he was not surprised by United's decision in Cleveland, given that hubs in smaller so-called "originating and destination" markets are taking a beating.
"It really is completely consistent with the problems any mid-sized city is going to have," he said. "It's why [Allegheny County Executive] Rich Fitzgerald has a real challenge in front of him if he's looking to interest other carriers to come to Pittsburgh despite the economics of operating in and out of Pittsburgh."
Despite the loss, Clevelanders tried to put on a brave front Monday.
While saying he was "disappointed" with United's decision, Mr. Jackson said the city plans to work hard to attract new airlines and to encourage existing ones to expand. With the improvements made to the terminal, runways and concessions in recent years, the airport can be competitive, he said.
Any pangs of sympathy aren't preventing officials at Pittsburgh International Airport from looking for ways to capitalize on Cleveland's misfortune.
The county airport authority plans to beef up marketing and advertising in Cleveland and other parts of eastern Ohio in an effort to entice their fliers to Pittsburgh, said Bradley D. Penrod, president and chief strategy officer. That, in turn, could improve Pittsburgh originating and destination numbers and make the airport more attractive to airlines.
It wasn't that long ago that some Pittsburghers, including former mayor Tom Murphy, were driving to Cleveland to catch a cheaper flight. Now the shoe may be on the other foot.
"In some respects, we hope to take advantage of the opportunity," Mr. Penrod said.

No doubt about it, Queen Elizabeth I of England was pretty cool. She's also endlessly fascinating, which is why she tends to show up so frequently in film and television. Case in point: The upcoming Roland Emmerich thriller Anonymous. In it, Vanessa Redgrave plays Good Queen Bess alongside Rhys Ifans' Edward de Vere, also known as the 17th Earl of Oxford– who, the film posits, is not Elizabeth's incestuous lover, but also the true author of the works of William Shakespeare. Personally, I like to think that Shakespeare really is the dude from Stratford who keeps popping up in public records, but that aside, Anonymous looks like it could be pretty interesting.

So says the BSA… Now before I get hate mail.. Raise your right hand in the Scout sign and repeat after me..
"To keep myself physically Strong, Mentally Awake, and Morally Straight."
In a minute I want you to watch this video. This is Tico Perez, our National Commissioner talking about Jamboree 2013. He discusses the challenges it will provide and the need to be physically strong as out lined in the standards that all of us should be using on the new medical form. I would suggest that if you have not got on board with this yet, well then you should.
Comments please, but don't shoot the messenger.
So here is my take before I pop in the video.
Do I want to exclude anyone, NO.. BUT. I don't want anyone getting hurt either. AND.. I do not want to take away the adventure. Everyone in our government talks about child obesity in America, but they are not willing to do anything about it really. Statistics show that we are fat. So let's get skinny. You can do it, if you want to.
Eat right, exercise, and get fit, or the BSA is going to leave you out of certain activities.
I had a dear friend that was extremely heavy. Along with his weight came a lot of medical issues I am not going to dive into, but by and large you all know what those can be. He applied to go on staff for Arrow Corps 5 a few years back. He was declined because of his weight, or should I say BMI. He was very upset about it, but in the end understood the liability that he would create in this high adventure activity.
My Troop is sending 2 crews to Philmont in 2012. We will all be fit before we go. One of the committment markers to signing up was that you would be fit and meet all the standards before you would be allowed to go. Is this harsh? No, it's the real world and we need to help these Scouts stay fit. Now you may say, Well I know Scouts that are heavy that out pack, out hike, and out last any of the skinny kids in the Troop. Well good for them, but what is the harm in shaving a few pounds for the future. That heavy kid is going to grow into a heavier adult and the problems on the horizon are many for him. Don't get upset, just know that this is a fact and we all can help by enforcing the BSA standard and helping our Scouts get fit.
OK.. so here's the video.. let me know what you think. Leave a comment, shoot me a voice mail or drop an email into my in box. I love to hear what you think.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Workshop to explore 'Future of News' in the age of technology
Wednesday and Thursday, May 14-15, 2008, various times · Friend Center convocation room
Posted May 8, 2008; 07:31 p.m.
Leading thinkers about the business, practice and consumption of journalism will participate in a public workshop Wednesday and Thursday, May 14-15, to discuss how the Internet and digital technology are remaking the news business.
The "Future of News" workshop, hosted by Princeton's Center for Information Technology Policy, is free and open to the public, although advance registration is requested. The sessions, including two talks and four panel discussions, will take place in the Friend Center convocation room from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday and from 8:15 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. Thursday.
"The Internet -- whose greatest promise is its ability to distribute and manipulate information -- is transforming the news media," the organizers wrote in their description of the workshop. "New tools and services allow people to be better informed and more instantly up to date than ever before, opening the door to an enhanced public life. But the same factors that make these developments possible are also undermining the institutional rationale and economic viability of traditional news outlets, leaving profound uncertainty about how the possibilities will play out."
The keynote talk, scheduled for 11 a.m. on May 14, will be delivered by Paul Starr, the Stuart Professor of Communications and Public Affairs at Princeton. The panel topics will be: "The People Formerly Known as the Audience"; "Economics of News"; "Data Mining, Visualization and Interactivity"; and "The Medium's New Message."
Among the many panel participants will be Gordon Crovitz, former publisher of the Wall Street Journal; Dan Gillmor, director of the Knight Center for Digital Media Entrepreneurship at Arizona State University; and Mark Davis, vice president for strategy at the San Diego Union Tribune.
Princeton's Center for Information Technology Policy, formed in 2006, has taken a leading role in research at the frontier of information technology and public life. With deep expertise in the technological aspects of information technology, the center seeks to help leaders in government and business to make wise decisions in the face of rapid technological change. This conference is sponsored by the Microsoft Corp.

Igen lang tid uden dagbog, men nu ruller vi igen...
Seen Spinal Tap and Built to Spill. SP was pretty good, but we had seats (seats at a concert? what the fuck...) and there was too much music and too little show, and afterall, their music isn't that good. They did have a dancing miniature Stonehenge, but no dwarves. Built to Spill was pretty good guitar rock, but the venue was too hot, and their ending jam was about 15 minutes to long.
Except for that, the days are still a blur. I think today is wednesday. Wobbled home from the kilowatt at 5 this morning after sitting all not listening to Red Warszawa with Buddah.
I think I should start go see movies during the day, just for the fuck of it. There's all these crappy movies out these days that would amusing to see.
Venter stadigvaek paa at kunne starte paa det nye job. Det kommer nok til at tage nogle uger da de ikke engang har begyndt ansoegningen endnu. Saa jeg rykkede dem idag, bla. da det jo ik' er gratis at leve her og der er graense for hvor lang tid jeg kan gaa uden loen. Men det skulle nok ordne sig sagde de, og pengeprobs skulle de nok hjaelpe med hvis det blev et problem.
some gnome-pilot crack and a cute little cli ripper with cddb lookup. It was fun to code c++ again, but returning to gnome-pilot and it's c/gtk+ hell was a downer, really should start working on porting gnome-pilot to c++...
I need to move the gnome-pilot pages to eskil.org, having them on gnome.org is just pretty pointless when you can't edit them nor get anyone to fix the problems, so don't expect to see those pages updated ever again.

The 2014 winner is:
- Interstate Distributor
Interstate Distributor, a Tacoma-based trucking company with worldwide clients, is the winner of the second annual Polar Bear Paw of Approval Award presented by Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium, the Sustainable Tacoma Commission and the Arctic Action Teams. The company was honored during a meeting of the Metro Parks Tacoma Board of Commissioners.
The annual award recognizes outstanding achievement by a Pierce County business in reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
Carolyn Buchanan, a co-founder of the Arctic Action Teams, presented the award.
The Paw of Approval spotlights work being done to combat climate change, a key to maintaining habitat for polar bears and other Arctic animals.
"The companies nominated for this award inspire us," Buchanan said Monday afternoon during a tour of the Arctic Tundra exhibit, home to polar bears Boris, Blizzard and Glacier. "It's very difficult to create a new way of doing business."
Striving to reduce carbon emissions into the atmosphere while at the same time running a successful business shows others that it's possible to do both, Buchanan said. She believes other businesses and community members will take notice.
A judging panel selected the Tacoma trucking company for the honor from a very impressive field of nominees, said John Garner, the zoo's education curator.
"Interstate Distributor firmly demonstrated their commitment to improve fuel efficiency and environmental performance, including reduction of both greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution." Garner said.
Interstate, one of the largest truckload carriers serving the lower 48 states, decreased carbon emissions per mile by more than 7 percent through retrofits and upgrades to trucks during the period from 2010 through 2012, according to its nomination for the Paw of Approval Award.
The company also has upgraded its long-haul tractor fleet with low-emission engines and is retrofitting its trailers with aerodynamic technology and automated tire-inflation systems. The fleet rides on low rolling resistance tires, which increase fuel efficiency.
Interstate Distributor has been a member of the Environmental Protection Agency's Smart Way program since its launch in 2004. The company also is active in the Seattle Climate partnership.
Pacific Lutheran University and GeoEngineers also were nominated for the 2014 Paw of Approval, and Garner congratulated both for their sustained efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
"Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium and its partners are proud to recognize crucial work being done by local companies in this urgent battle against climate change," Garner said.
Polar bears are a threatened species, and sea ice is crucial to their existence. It's the platform from which they hunt the seals that sustain their lives. Unchecked destruction of their hunting grounds due to climate change could bring about the extinction of these largest of land carnivores.
Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium long has aided polar bear research and conservation efforts. The zoo parking lots and drives are "idle free" zones, in which motorists are asked to turn their engines off while they're waiting for someone, thus reducing tailpipe emissions.
The Arctic Action Teams, founded by Buchanan and her husband, Robert, inspires actions that lead to a sustainable future for people and wildlife.

I found at one of my local KB's the new Darth Tyrannus and Mace Windu Unleashed. They also had the Value 4 packs, and it looked like they were starting to put pretty much any older figure into it. They had 1 w/ a Battle Droid and Rebel Soldier I almost bought.
I just got back from WM.com. I was there to buy E.T. in widescreen, and to see if I could order the Holiday and Trash Compactor Sets. I got the DVD, but they didn't have the 2 SW items. They did have the Gunship on clearance for 22.00 though! they also had some older LEGO on clearnace. It only brought up about 7 things when I did a SW toy search.

I don't particularly hold President Obama responsible for the weak security at a just recently opened consulate. Good lord. There are so many issues bigger than that such that no one person can have a running memory of them all. That said, he is clearly responsible for the lack of an affirmative response and for the absence of an immediate and credible investigation as to what went wrong and how this can be avoided in the future.
How lucky we all are that the same group didn't try this again within the past month because the Obama administration doesn't seem to know yet how it could have been avoided.

I will probably head South today, the travel forecast is the best for the next 2-3 days but road conditions in Texas as still awful and I no longer drive that far in one day. The forecast for Nebraska and Kansas is 1-3 inches of snow beginning late tonight. The forecast for Sunday in OK & TX is freezing drizzle. These are the options I am considering using Mitchell SD as a starting point.
1. 81 South to York NE and stop for the night, still 8 hours from home and known dog friendly motel with outside doors so I can plug in my block heater.
2. Same route except stop for the night in Salina KS, about 6 hours from home but some driving after dark which I do not like but 4 lane divided all the way to IH 35.
3. IH 90 East to Sioux Falls then South on IH 35 as far as I can get. This route is a good bit further but interstate all the way.
I have no need to be home until Monday afternoon which, given current road conditions in North Texas might be a good thing.
Any opinions, suggestions, and/or updated road conditions would be greatly appreciated.

|Original Source Summary
|The Kirks explore the wilderness by canoe. They travel by canoe and explore some of more remote regions in Yellowstone. The Kirks take a canoe trip on Shoshone Lake. The Kirks explain the geological nature of the region: geysers, hot spots, and thermal pools. They discuss much of the wildlife in the Yellowstone region such as, beavers, buffalo, and moose. They continue on in their exploration on the Snake River in the wilds of the Grand Teton National Park. They observe wildlife: Canadian geese, elk, deer, moose, Great Blue Heron, pelicans, teals, mergansers, beavers, muskrat, and Trumpeter Swans. A special highlight of the feature is the birth of the Trumpeter Swan's young cygnets. A common theme is the impact that humans have had on the wildlife over the centuries. The Kirks provide a commentary on the fragile interaction between man and wilderness. This half hour episode aired on January 12 and 23, 1977 on KCPQ-TV in Lakewood, Washington.

Reality Check: Doyle Fires Back At Green In Latest TV Ad
Second In Two-Part Series Analyzing Green, Doyle Ads On Illegal Immigration
MADISON, Wis. - Wasting no time and leaving nothing to chance, Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle responded to attack ads from Republican gubernatorial hopeful Mark Green over claims he is promoting illegal immigration.
VIDEO: Watch The Report
Doyle's ad goes further than defending himself, saying Green and Congress "failed to act" on the controversial issue.
The announcer in the Doyle ad starts by directly refuting a recent ad from Green, in which Green accuses Doyle of supporting welfare support for illegal immigrants.
"Welfare for illegal immigrants? No way Congressman Green," said the announcer in the TV ad. "Gov. Doyle has always opposed welfare and Social Security for illegal immigrants."
This claim "needs clarification", according to WISC-TV.
Doyle said he opposes welfare and social security for those in the United States illegally but, as WISC-TV reported previously in an analysis of Green's ad, Doyle vetoed a bill which would have made it harder for non-citizens to get benefits like welfare.
Doyle said the bill would have denied some U.S. citizens in the process if they couldn't find important documents such as their birth certificate.
The ad continues to defend Doyle's record: "[Doyle] even sent the guard to patrol the border."
This statement is "misleading" according to WISC-TV
Doyle did send troops but it was President George W. Bush's idea and at his request. Plus, when Bush announced the plan in May, Doyle had reservations about the program.
At the time, Doyle said it was "very questionable" if Bush had the authority to send Wisconsin National Guard troops, adding "it would be too big a stretch" to a National Guard already deployed oversees in combat.
Next in the ad, Doyle shifts the focus to Green and Congress.
"It's you in Congress that's failed to act -- 2,100 people cross illegally, each day," said the announcer in the heavily played campaign commercial.
The claim that Congress has "failed to act" is a subjective term. But, it's worth noting, that at the end of September, Green voted to add 1,500 new border patrol agents and approved more money for fencing in a Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill.
Plus, the idea that 2,100 people cross illegally each day is an estimate since it's almost impossible to actually track illegal immigrants.
At the end of the commercial, the announcer said: "And while you voted for $8 billion in tax breaks for Big Oil, your budget plan cuts 2,000 police and firefighters."
WISC-TV found that it's "true" Green voted for an energy bill which included tax breaks for big oil companies. Green said those tax breaks will spur supply, which will lower gas prices.
But, Doyle's claim about Green's budget proposal cutting 2,000 police and firefighters is "misleading", according to WISC-TV.
Green has proposed capping government spending at current levels. He has not suggested which programs would be cut to achieve that goal. Also, police and fire staffing is a local decision and even if the state put stricter limits on local government spending, those positions would likely be the last to go.

GENERIC NAME(S): BUTALBITAL/ACETAMINOPHEN/CAFFEINE/CODEINE PHOSPHATEFind Lowest Prices
One ingredient in this product is acetaminophen. Taking too much acetaminophen may cause serious (possibly fatal) liver disease. Adults should not take more than 4000 milligrams (4 grams) of acetaminophen a day. People with liver problems and children should take less acetaminophen. Ask your doctor or pharmacist how much acetaminophen is safe to take.
Do not use with any other drug containing acetaminophen without asking your doctor or pharmacist first. Acetaminophen is in many nonprescription and prescription medications (such as pain/fever drugs or cough-and-cold products). Check the labels on all your medicines to see if they contain acetaminophen, and ask your pharmacist if you are unsure
Get medical help right away if you take too much acetaminophen (overdose), even if you feel well. Overdose symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, sweating, stomach/abdominal pain, extreme tiredness, yellowing eyes/skin, and dark urine.
Daily alcohol use, especially when combined with acetaminophen, may damage your liver. Avoid alcohol.
Children younger than 18 should not use products that contain codeine after certain surgeries (including tonsil/adenoid removal). Also, for children younger than 12 years, do not use codeine to treat cough or pain unless specifically directed by the doctor. Use of codeine is not recommended to treat cough and pain in children between 12 and 18 years old who have breathing problems. Some children are more sensitive to codeine and have had very serious (rarely fatal) breathing problems such as slow/shallow breathing (see also Side Effects section). Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about the risks and benefits of this medication.Who should not take Fioricet with Codeine?
See also Warning section.
This combination medication is used to treat tension headaches. Codeine is an opioid (narcotic) pain reliever that acts on certain centers in the brain to give you pain relief. Acetaminophen helps to decrease the pain from the headache. Caffeine helps increase the effects of acetaminophen. Butalbital is a sedative which helps to decrease anxiety and cause sleepiness and relaxation.
OTHER USES: This section contains uses of this drug that are not listed in the approved professional labeling for the drug but that may be prescribed by your health care professional. Use this drug for a condition that is listed in this section only if it has been so prescribed by your health care professional.
This medication may also be used to treat migraine headaches.
See also Warning section.
Take this medication by mouth with or without food, usually every 4 hours as needed or as directed by your doctor. Do not take more than 6 capsules in a 24-hour period. If you have nausea, you may take this medication with food. Consult your doctor or pharmacist about other ways to decrease nausea (e.g., antihistamines, lying down for 1-2 hours with as little head movement as possible).
The dosage is based on your medical condition, age, and response to therapy. This medication works best if it is used as the first signs of a headache occur. If you wait until the headache has worsened, the medication may not work as well.
This medication may cause withdrawal reactions, especially if it has been used regularly for a long time or in high doses. In such cases, withdrawal symptoms (such as runny nose, watery eyes, mental/mood changes, seizures) may occur if you suddenly stop using this medication. To prevent withdrawal reactions, your doctor may reduce your dose gradually. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details, and report any withdrawal reactions right away.
Though very unlikely, abnormal drug-seeking behavior (addiction) is possible with this medication. To lessen the risk of becoming addicted, do not increase your dose, take it more frequently, or take it for a longer time than prescribed. Properly stop the medication when so directed.
Inform your doctor if you notice increased use of this medication, a worsening of headaches, an increase in the number of headaches, the medication not working as well, or use of this medication for more than 2 headache episodes a week. Do not take more than recommended. Your doctor may need to change your medication and/or add a separate medication to prevent the headaches.
See also Warning section.
Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, shaking (tremor), shortness of breath, constipation, dry mouth, lightheadedness, dizziness, drowsiness, or trouble sleeping may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
To lower your risk of dizziness and lightheadedness, get up slowly when rising from a sitting or lying position.
To prevent constipation, maintain a diet adequate in fiber, drink plenty of water, and exercise. If you become constipated while using this drug, consult your pharmacist for help in selecting a laxative (e.g., stimulant-type with stool softener).
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: mental/mood changes, fast/irregular heartbeat, increased thirst/urination, signs of infection (e.g., fever, persistent sore throat), easy bruising/bleeding, difficulty urinating, signs of your adrenal glands not working well (such as loss of appetite, unusual tiredness, weight loss).
Get medical help right away if you have any very serious side effects, including: fainting, seizure.
Codeine is changed into a strong opioid drug (morphine) in your body. In some people, this change happens faster and more completely than usual, which increases the risk of very serious side effects. Get medical help right away if you notice any of the following: slow/shallow breathing, unusual drowsiness/difficulty waking up, confusion.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
In the US -
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or at www.fda.gov/medwatch.
In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.
See also Warning section.

It's hard to imagine how horrific the concentration camps must have been for the soldiers who stumbled upon them. I'm curious to know if there will be any more about that in the interviews with the real 101st Airborne Veterans on the bonus disc (or if there is such interviews - I haven't looked at the bonus disc yet).
The sight of the German men, women, and children civilians being forced to bury the Jewish dead seemed both just and terrible at the same time. Gosh that must have been hard - as was when Nixon and some of the others opened the dormiciles where the Jews who were too weak to walk outside lay dying.
Those scenes make me so mad. I wanted to see them "kill some Krauts" after that. The impact of the episode is actually stronger because they don't.
But I felt the anger of that soldier who nearly shot the baker as they were raiding his store for food provisions.
Remember when the guy reading "the article" said that it related "why we fight the war" because the Nazi's are bad? Yeah. They were really evil. It's hard to find examples of evil existing sometimes. But Hitler and the Nazis serve as the best definition.

The Concentration Camp episode is easily the best of the series, IMO.
It's a really powerful and emotional episode, which is saying quite a bit with this series, since they were all pretty powerful and emotional.

Wow. Major Dick Winters is a real-life American hero still alive today (I'm assuming).
It choked me up to hear the real Mjr. Winters relate how his grandson asked if he was a hero in the war, and he said that his men that died were the real heroes.
That's powerful stuff. Even moreso - because it's real!

Dick Winter is, in fact, still alive. If you look at the Band of Brothers Wikipedia page it lists all the men with birthdates/death dates. Plus, it's a really good episode guide and has some interesting facts. I loves me some Wiki.
As for characters, I really like Lt."Buck" Compton, Capt. Spiers, SSgt. Bill Guarnere and Lt. Lipton. Good guys. I found it interesting that Compton was the DA in the Sirhan Sirhan case after he killed Bobby Kennedy.
The best episode for me is "Breaking Point". The assault on Foy at the end is awesome. The best part for me is Lt. Spiers leaveing Sgt. Lipton's squad and running across German defenses to link up with another element of the assault. Lipton's narration makes that part for me:
I love it."They didn't shoot, probably because they couldn't believe their eyes from what they saw. But the most amazing thing was, after he made contact with I company, he came back."
The only bad part about that line is that he says it to Jimmy Fallon.Originally Posted by Tycho
It's a blacked-out blur but I'm pretty sure it ruled.
Who did Stalin kill in the USSR? I mean Hitler focused on eliminating Jews mainly. What was Stalin's genocidal criteria? How did we find out about it? Did we know about it then and Rooseveldt and Churchill just put up with him because he needed Russia on our side in the war effort?
Communism is not evil but it threatens capitalist nations and their presidents and lawmakers who feel they are elected to first and foremost manage the business interests of their corporations for their nation. The USA: Government of the Corporations, by the Corporations. We're smarter than to think "we the people" count (though they ought to). So why do most communist nations have to be run by dictatorships who oppress their people?
Why is it better off that "the one-percent" succeed in business because they have "freedom" in a capitalist country, while zero-percent may succeed under a communist dictatorship? Isn't a socialist democracy the happy-compromise? When people extoll the virtues of being free in a capitalist society, isn't the rich the only ones who have enough money to be heard?
You or I are never likely to be rich-rich. We have the freedom to try, but the odds are stacked against us.
Is that freedom worth others too dysfunctional to purchase healthcare on their own, suffering? Is it better to be callous and watch them suffer or die?
Was Stallin's empathetic solution just to kill them? Wasn't he a thug and didn't really understand the philosophies of Karl Marx and Vladamir Lenin anyway? It seems by partnering with him even in World War II's circumstances, the victims of the USSR has left some blood on our hands.

That's the thing Tycho, the concept or original idea is good, but isn't it always perverted? Stalin was a paranoid phsychopath. He killed his own people. Or the ones who opposed him. Even the ones in his paranoid mind might threaten his power. http://www.historyplace.com/worldhis...ide/stalin.htm

As planned we got up in the morning and went to the Hanmer Thermal Pools. We found out right away that these are no hot springs. They use mineral water which is suppose to help your skin and all that but every pool we went in we found to be bath temperature, and after sitting for a bit it felt like a bath that was getting cold! Finally though we found a couple small pools that had the hot water in them and of course they felt great!!
There were also a couple slides and a bowl thing that you ride around in a tube in which were ok but not worth the extra $10 each just for access to them, although it was pretty chilly out as well so we weren't really in the mood for running up outdoor stairs soaking wet and being cooled by the breeze.
Afterward we hit the road again and just drove the rest of the day. We had went up north of Christchurch to just do the two towns and then our plan was to go south and back up north on the south island by the west coast route. So since we were backtracking we wanted to make up some miles. That night we got lucky again and found a side road just off a bridge and this time found a completely hidden little clearing by the river. We'd become two bums living down by the river in our van!!

Stella already showed us some sass in 2012, so we'd like to see more of her personality in 2013. We don't see nearly enough of the Damon girls!

His sisters Violet and Seraphina already have a fan club because they're just that awesome, so perhaps now that Jen was named "Celebrity Mother of the Year" we'll see Samuel tag along with the family more often? We love the Affleck clan, so we can only hope.
No, she's not a baby. Yes, she's pretty much everywhere these days. But cut me some slack, I live vicariously through her. I believe 2013 is the year she becomes legal, you guys! Look out.

Cliff Swallows are colonial -- that is, they nest in colonies, sometimes numbering in the thousands of birds. In many ways the members of a colony appear to display remarkable social cohesiveness. They work together to mob predators and will even learn from each other where the good food sources are. But if you look closely at a Cliff Swallow colony, you'll see that this seemingly cooperative community also harbors its share of dastardly misbehavior.
In every colony there are a few swallows (you might call them bad eggs) that parasitize their neighbors. They do this not by sucking other swallows' blood or stealing food, but by putting their eggs in nests other than their own. Sometimes the sneaky swallow will even toss out one of the nest owner's eggs before laying her egg in its place! This behavior is known as brood parasitism. The extra eggs go undetected, and the surrogate parents end up doing the work of raising the slacker's young.
These parasitic egg-laying visits are clandestine and quick, but some Cliff Swallows have been spotted launching an even faster, more remarkable sneak attack: carrying eggs in their very small beaks (adapted for catching tiny insects on the wing) and quickly dropping them into a neighbor's nest. Incoming!

Ex-Vikes Yary-Voigt settle lawsuit; terms private
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Ex-Minnesota Vikings' player Ron Yary has settled a lawsuit against former teammate Stu Voigt over some bad investments.
The terms of the settlement were confidential.
In 2011, Yary and others sued Voigt, alleging he fraudulently got friends to make high-risk investments between 2002 and 2007 by telling them there was no risk and he would personally guarantee the money. The lawsuit claimed that instead, Voigt received commissions and finders fees, while investors lost money.
Last year, the U.S. Department of Justice told Voigt he was under investigation for bank and wire fraud. Voigt attorney Phillip Cole says nothing has happened in that investigation and Voigt denies wrongdoing.
Yary played with the Vikings from 1968 to 1981. Voigt was with the team from 1970-1980.

On a conference call with analysts this evening following fiscal Q4 results from Apple (AAPL) that topped analysts' expectations, and an outlook for this quarter's revenue that was higher as well, CEO Tim Cook told the Street, "Apple's business is stronger than ever," touting a general superiority in customer satisfaction and loyalty.
Apple shares were up and down during the call by a penny or two in the neighborhood of $530.
He noted sales of 151 million iPhones and 70 million iPads in the fiscal year, and $16 billion in revenue from iTunes software and services, the opening of 49 new stores, and visitors to Apple's retail locations of over 400 million individuals. Cook pointed out the company's boosting of its capital return program to over $100 billion, with the "largest dividend program in history."
Cook noted the company "review our capital program regularly," and that it takes input from outside parties and planned to "actively seek their input again this year," a reference, perhaps, to activist Carl Icahn's push for an expanded buyback. Cook said the company will announce any changes to the buyback and dividend programs "in the first part of this year."
Cook said the company had its "best education quarter" ever in Q4, with sales topping $1 billion for the first time ever.
CFO Peter Oppenheimer said the company beat its own expectations for both iPhone and iPad sales. He said the company experienced "robust" sales in Latin America, Japan, Russia and other territories, and said the company saw a lift from back-to-school sales of the iPad. Apple sold in about as many units as it sold through in the quarter, he said, leaving Apple with 4.1 million units of inventory, within the company's target range of 4-6 weeks.
Oppenheimer said sales of 4.6 million Macs, though down 7%, had outperformed a sharp PC market decline in the quarter. Apple ended the quarter with inventory of Macs "just below our 4 to 5 week target," he said.
Turning to the company's retail business, Oppenheimer said the company's stores produced $4.5 billion in revenue, up 6%. He said the stores had "very strong" iPhone sales, with 36% unit growth per store per week. The company opened 8 new stores, ending with 416 stores in total, including 162 outside the US. Apple is opening 32 new stores this fiscal year, with two thirds of them outside the U.S.
Apple'd average revenue per store was $10.9 million versus $11.2 million a year earlier. Stores generated $709 million in segment income.
76% of Apple's $147 billion in cash and equivalents and investments was offshore at the quarter's end. Oppenheimer said the company had retired about 47 million shares so far, or 5% of the common prior to the program's start. "We have invested all of the increase of the net cash generated since the capital return program was inaugurated since the start of 2012."
Oppenheimer also called out a shift in the company's practice with respect to revenue deferrals. Because the company last week said it would make free its iLife creativity suite of software, and its iWork suite of productivity software, which are considered part of the incentive for purchasing the devices, "We are deferring a greater portion of iOS and Mac device sold. $900 million sequential increase in the net amount of revenue deferred."
Understanding Gross Margin
Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty was the first analyst out of the chute, and she asked why the company's gross margin outlook for this quarter, 36.5% and 37.5%, wasn't higher, and said it seemed Apple faces margin "headwinds" this quarter. Oppenheimer responded that the company is "pleased to be able to guide gross margin about flat sequentially, given all the new products we have released."
Oppenheimer said the benefit of a "substantial" increase in revenue is going to be offset this quarter by the higher deferred revenue component, which would affect not only revenue but also margin. He said the higher mix of iPads would come with higher costs, as would the new MacBook Pro and Mac computers, whose prices were lowered but have higher costs.
When Barclays's Ben Reitzes pressed the matter of deferrals a little later in the call, Oppenheimer said the company has for many years deferred revenue on its products, but is deferring upwards of $15 to $25 per iOS device, which was higher than in past by about $5 per unit. The Mac deferrals were rising from perhaps $20 per unit to $40. "That goes straight through to Margin, that's dollar-for-dollar from revenue to margin." The deferral period for iOS devices is two years, whereas for Macs it is a four-year period.
Oppenheimer then repeated that the company is "really happy" to be able to forecast gross margin flat this quarter with last quarter given the deferrals and given higher costs for new products, adding that Apple is "gonna work really hard to get down the cost curves as we have in the past."
When Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster asked if an adjusted gross margin this quarter, excluding the deferral, would have been 38.5%, Oppenheimer responded that "that's probably about right, but I'll let you do the math."
New Product Categories
Bernstein Research's Toni Sacconaghi pressed Cook on when Apple would offer "new product categories." Cook said Apple possesses certain "unique skills," and that the company believes it can offer "other great products that are in categories that represent areas where we do not participate today. We're pretty confident about that."
Regarding China, where revenue rose 6%, iPhone units rose 25%, year over year, despite constraints on iPhone 5S, said Cook. "We were able to launch in our first round this time in China, and that was a big change," said Cook. He cited a close relationship with carriers in the country and with the government.
"For the full year, the Greater China region generated over $27 billion in revenue, up 14%," pointed out Cook. "We are continuing to invest in stores, we opened one additional store in Greater China in the last few weeks. Our point of sales are up about 50%, year over year, on the iPhone. We are investing in indirect channels, and going out beyond the large cities."
iPad, Component Pricing
Regarding Apple's record quarter in education, Cook remarked that sales of the iPad make up 94% of tablet shipments in the education market, which Cook called "remarkable" and "sort of unheard of."
Cook said that while the company was ramping up supply for the new iPads, "we don't know if we'll have enough for the quarter," although he insisted it will be "a really great holiday season" and "an iPad Christmas."
Cook said cost of DRAM chips will be up this quarter, while NAND flash memory chips would be flat in pricing, and other commodity parts might see declines.
