The GM Meetings
First off – NL Rookie of the Year voting is in and three Dodgers were among the top nine vote-getters. Andre Ethier tied for fifth, Takashi Saito was tied for seventh and Russell Martin finished ninth. Our sincere congrats go out to all the people who signed them, developed them, coached them, marketed them, publicized them and helped them attain these honors. Balloting can be found here.
As most of you know, the GM meetings start today in Florida and are a precursor to the madness that is the Hot Stove League. While all GMs have been in touch with each other and players' agents throughout the past few weeks, getting them all in one place makes a huge difference in moving the process along. It also coincides with the start of teams being able to throw dollar figures at free agents who weren't their own, so the rumor mill really picks up here. But, don't expect a ton of guys to sign in the first week – there's no incentive to going early, so they all try to wait it out and see how the market plays out.
This event is not covered by the media in the same way that the Winter Meetings are, though there are definitely reporters who go out there to write about it. The real show comes Dec. 4-8, when the lobby of our hotel in Orlando becomes a place for impromptu press conferences by player agents while the team execs huddle away in their suites upstairs. It's quite possibly the most exciting and most boring four days of the winter, as there's a lot of rumors, a lot of standing around and of course at times, some major announcements.
We also have our PR meetings at that time, where we get together with our counterparts around the league and discuss the best practices of each teams and the issues facing the industry.
As a department, we're currently putting together the 2007 media guide, which obviously takes up the bulk of the winter time. If any of you have copies and have ideas for new things that you'd like to see included, please pass them along. While I can't guarantee they'll be in there next year, I'm interested to know what you'd like to see. It's become far more than a media guide and actually, we'll probably start calling it an Information Guide, as other teams have done, because it's not only the media who uses this.

with the names flying already, I think that ned has to have a plan ready to go.
know who you want, what you are willing to pay, and not waste time, or else, they will sign elswhere.
I also agree that losing drew is not a big lose, but it worries me that it might cause us to trade top prospects for aging veterns.
I would like to see normar, and maddux back, with nomar playing more than one position. we need to keep billingsley, la roche, martin, broxton, elbert, kemp, loney, josh bell, and all the pitching we can for our future.
if we have to trade minor leagurers, look at d. young,chin lung hu, juan rivera, guys who are very good, but blocked from l.a. by others.
ned needs to decide on our own free agents, and players who he wants, and act quickly, or we will struggle to get anything done in december. this winter seems to
be going to the teams that are reacting quickly and making moves now, not waiting to see who sets the tables, or the market places. If we want a big name free agent, we need to react quickly. then look at trades to get the team ready for next
year. I getting nervous by all thats happened even before the g. m. meeting, let alone waiting for dec. 4th to get here, fear the guys we want will be with new teams long before dec. 4th.
i was happy that ramirez wasnt signed.. it doesnt block andy laroche…and i am finally back home.. i was in mesa for 8 days… i look forward to doing it again next year..
I have to agree with Frankjhalstead, time is of the essence. But I think Josh is also correct in saying that time is in the free agents side. Other then the players that still want to stay with their original clubs, most should be taking their time to decide. You can bet that Soriano and Zito won't sign anytime soon !!! It's becasue of this that I see Ned doing more trading then signing of free agents.
What I really can't believe is Boston paying $50 million just for the rights to sign this guy from Japan. Reports have him at $100+ million for three years between his salary and the signing fees !! Now that's just crazy for a pitcher that has never thrown a pitch in MLB.
Go Ned !!
Go Dodgers !!!
I was also glad that ramirez stayed with the cubs, I think La Roche is our answer at third. With a thin and costly
free agent market, we may be left out of that area too. The Phillies are said to have an offer for Soriano already..
5 years, and 80 million. Don't think we will go that high.
Ned should have a feel or what Soriano, Zito, etc are asking, and what is being offered very soon. then he needs to have his plan in place to jump at what he feels will help the club.
I hope he is also prepared to go with our prospects and play them, instead of siging another drew or lugo,
If some of our injured can caome back, sign a maddux
maybe a normar, or Lee, and fill in with our guys, I think we can still build from within and win.
beside the couple of big money guys, It seems like it will be a fast market, we have to be prepared. Would love to see Gagne sign a performace contract and come back, but most news reports say he and normar are gone,(sad). nervous to see who stays, who goes, and worried about our prospects.
I would rather keep our front line prospects, than trade them
hey Josh, what about a contest, guess with Baseball america on our top ten. tie breaker going to who is closest on the top twenty.
we all seem to love our prospects, would be fun.
Wow, the article on Dodgers.com said Mondesi was the most recent ROY for the Dodgers. It was actually Todd Hollandsworth in 1996, and Hideo Nomo won it in 1995.
i mean no disrespect to people that were hawaiian shirts my best friend in the whole wide world wears those shirts every FREAKING FRIDAY!! but come on!! they look so yesterday!!!.
Tell Ned, just say no to Juan Pierre. I'd rather have Lofton back for another year.
No kidding patriot. Who messes that up. We won five ROTY in a row. How can anyone in this front office ever forget that?
The Pierre vs. Lofton argument is really kind of funny. Two amazing outfielders, good baserunning skills, no power, great fielding abilities, and NO throwing arm. Those two can catch anything that comes within a half mile of them, they just can't throw the ball home when they need to.
I want Vernon! When I was planning on having Drew for the year, I thought that 3 20-25 HR guys in the middle of the order would work. Now, without him I want Nomar, Kent, Loney, and Wells in the middle (not in that order).
Oh, and the reason I think they forgot Hollandsworth is because his rookie season was really nothing to write home about. After following Karros, Piazza, Mondesi, and Nomo, his #'s weren't that impressive. If I remember correctly, he won in a very thin NL rookie class
i have been talking about the dodgers moving to arizona all year, and i still dont like it…
Seems like this move to AZ story comes up every year. The Dodgers are one of just a few or maybe even the only team now that plays in the West but trains in the East. Although it makes some business sense and the facilities would be new and state of the art, I think it would be a tremendous mistake. This is one of those tradition things that should far out weigh the supposed business sense. In fact, business wise I don't think McCourt truly understands the down deep benefit of Vero Beach !!! People have retired in Vero Beach for the sole reason of Dodger Spring training and the Class A team. More over these are mostly EAST COAST Dodger fans wanting to get closer to the team. To move to AZ would be one of the biggest mistakes McCourt could ever make. Vero Beach needs to be embraced, improved upon and marketed !! It's a Diamond in the rough that the O'Malloy family clearly understood and capitalized on.
Go Ned !!
Go Dodgers !!!
I vote the Dodgers sign Schmidt, sign a bullpen arm and let the kids play the field (Loney, Kemp, LaRouche, Ethier). It worked ok for FLA last year (basically they played their AA team), and with Kent and Furcal you have some veterans who can (hopefully) hit. Give it a go. Have to think that would be the divisions best pitching staff, and if the team is playing well, try for a free agent bat at mid season if needed. Sure, there will be growing pains, but I think its time for old school Dodger baseball. Great pitching, and home grown players.
Thanks for keeping us updated over the off-season Josh.
I'm going to chime in with my thoughts on what the Dodgers should do.
Sign Zito and/or Schmidt. We need a good middle reliever or lefty-specialist unless Beimel is going to be back. Sounds like the Dodgers are not very happy with him due to the New York incident.
Pitching pitching pitching. Take a lesson from the other "Los Angeles" team. Even with their cy-young winner out this year, they had a pretty good second half with their staff of amazing arms.
I vote no on Nomar. Sorry. I love him, but he started falling apart at the end of the season and unless he would be wiling to sign an incentive-loaded deal, I don't think the investment would be worth it. Same thing with Gagne.
I feel confident in our bats with Kent, Martin, and Loney in the middle of the lineup. I'm sure Ned will sign another bat, but our focus should be on PITCHING!
Pitching and defense win championships!!!! Good pitching will more times than not stop good hitting.
Check out my latest blog posting, "The Case For Gagne". I've heard the arguments for not re-signing Gagne. I make a few arguments for keeping him. (Words From The Park – park.mlblogs.com)
As much as I would like the Dodgers to be in Arizona, and as much as I think it makes sense logistically and competively, I can't tell you how disappointed I would be to see the team leave Dodgertown. The Dodgers spring training is like NO OTHER in the league. When you think about who has been there and played there on that training facility, the history Dodgertown has, and to think it will all be lost because we want to make it easier to see our team, or that we might lose some competitivenesss being on the East Coast. Look at the teams that are in the Cactus league, take the Giants for one, how many world series have they won, has the fact that they are in the Cactus league helped them win more championships? I say keep the history alive, thrive on the history, teach it to our young players and make them understand what that means, bring emotion into the team, that is what wins championships. I say stay at Dodgertown and keep the tradition of being a Dodger alive!

The History of Kyocera
The company was founded by one Kazuo Inamori back in 1959 and was subsequently renamed Kyocera in the early 1980s. At its inception, Kyocera was primarily involved in ceramics, but over the years it has diversified into solar power, document imaging, telecoms, semiconductors and electronic components.
Original Offering
To begin with, the company produced an insulating ceramic product called 'kelcima' that was used in the production of cathode ray tubes for TVs. It quickly expanded via a series of mergers and acquisitions to extend its range of technologies, finding more and more uses for its ceramics. By the 1960s, with a very active NASA and the advent of Silicon Valley, the demand for its products was booming.
Moving forward into the 1970s, Kyocera moved out of their comfort zone and started producing a range of solar photovoltaic cells, cutting tools for industry, as well as knives, ceramic pens and interestingly, lab-grown gems.
The Tandy Model 100
By the beginning of the 1980s, they had moved into radio communication technologies and electronic component creation after it acquired an interest in Cybernet Electronics Corporation. Not long after, Kyocera created one of the very first portable laptop computers, called the TRS Model 100. It was powered by battery, had an LCD screen and a facility to transmit data via a telephone modem.
A few years later, Kyocera moved into optical tech when it bought Yashica, which carried the added benefit of also acquiring Yashica's licensing agreement with German optical giant, Carl Zeiss. This allowed the company to manufacture conventional and digital cameras under their own name up until 2005 when it ceased making them.
Since then, Kyocera has continued to diversify and amongst other industries, they have been active in mobile phones, buying Sanyo's mobile phone division in 2008, as well its operations in the US, Canada, and Japan.
Aside from launching its own smartphone, (the Zio) in 2010, Kyocera has largely stayed out of the retail markets, preferring to focus on optics and industrial cutting tool manufacturing. In line with this strategy, Kyocera bought Optrex Corporation in 2012 and then SGS Tool Company (an international cutting tool manufacturer) for almost $90m.
Whilst not at the forefront of the computer retail and as a result, largely out of the public eye, Kyocera have made a major contribution to the fields of optics and semiconductor technology. The company represents another cog in the machine of technological advancement in the field of personal computers.

TripCase users may have noticed an email alert (like the one below) notifying travelers that they have not booked a hotel. This alert comes to travelers who have a trip starting in the next 2 weeks and have not yet added a hotel to their itinerary. It is a recent addition to some of the notification emails TripCase sends out.
TripCase does not provide any internal capability or link to an external app or site to book hotels. The hotel search functionality that is in TripCase simply lets a user add information about a hotel booked elsewhere. If a traveler is using a mobile device, there is a "click to call" option, which will connect them with MacNair for any itinerary changes (see below).
Additionally, we have had some of our customers ask about how to disable these notifications. If a particular traveler does not wish to receive the notifications, they can be unsubscribed by clicking on the option located at the bottom of the email.
Users can also stop these alerts within their TripCase profile under Notification Settings. Travelers can uncheck the "Notifications about my trips" option. However, this is not the recommended method. Unchecking that option will also disable other significant notifications such as time and gate changes and cancellations. We recommend using the unsubscribe option located at the bottom of the email, which will only disable the hotel notifications.

When it's time to use the mouth rinse, all you have to do is simply take the little cup out of the base and use the dispenser to pump out the rinse.

FunStuff: Charlottesville events April 5 and beyond
Vast and lonely
We've been fans of Matt Kleberg since his series of portraits of beloved UVA prof Boots Mead, and we're eager to discover what he's up to next– and discovery happens to be the theme of this show. Inspired by historic scientific expeditions, "All the Vast and Lonely Reaches" is a collaboration with his wife, Liz Kleberg, using painting, film, installation, and sculpture. And it's installed beside Hill & Wood Funeral Service in the most minimal space in town. (BTW, this is First Friday when art abounds all over downtown.)
Friday, April 6, the Garage, 5-8pm (and by appointment), FREE
Luxe, calme et volupté
Rife with symbolism, the orchid has even inspired a Meryl Streep/Nicolas Cage movie based on the book called The Orchid Thief. Check out these exotic blooms at theCharlottesville Orchid Society's Annual Spring Show and Sale in front of Belk men's store. And dream of growing 'em yourself.
Friday-Saturday April 6-7, Fashion Square Mall, 9am-9pm, FREE (until you buy)
Organic Tulip Fest
More blooming stuff is to be found up the road in Madison County. Undeterred by the unseasonably warm spring, EcoTulipsplanted 20,000 late tulips that will be prime for picking Easter weekend for $1-$2 a stem. The weekend fest has food, wine fromDuCard Vineyards, the "Tulip Man" himself(Jeroen Koeman, shown here with his wife, Keriann), an Easter egg hunt at 10am Saturday, and the Easter Bunny on Sunday. And tulips to die for at 3320 Lillards Ford Road.
Saturday-Sunday, April 7-8, Brightwood, 9am-6pm, $1 parking
Bargain books
With the Virginia Festival of the Book over, maybe you thought that was the end of literary events for a while. Ha! The Friends of the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library annual sale is the event that brings out the hard-core readers, the ones who, no matter how many books they own, can't resist just taking a peek. We can assure you that they won't be leaving empty handed, especially since April 7-8 are half-price days. The good part of feeding an addiction to books? The Friends raise over $100K to support our public libraries.
Through April 8, Gordon Avenue Library, 10am-7pm, FREE (until you buy)
Let them eat kale
It's a Saturday-morning ritual for everyone who wants a fresh bite and a chance to walk around and meet people who are producing food: chicken farmers, bread-makers, produce-growers, and most anything else you can imagine. Since 1973, Charlottesville has had its City Market. Known pretty much everywhere else in the world as a "farmer's market," this one brings consumers and producers together in one festive spot just a block from the Downtown Mall on the Omni hotel side.
April 7, Water Street, 7am-noon, FREE (until you buy)
Super Hi-Fi

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Days after federal authorities rocked New York politics with more corruption cases, Gov. Andrew Cuomo says solutions abound to fix Albany's history of ethical lapses. But he isn't releasing any specific remedies yet.
Cuomo called Monday for a broad overhaul of the rules for the second time in two years.
But those who have regulated state government say the latest rhetoric follows a pattern where past efforts came up short. The former state ethics and lobbying watchdogs say Albany continues to avoid focusing on the root causes of corruption.
Politicians were arrested last week in bribery scandals that prompted a federal prosecutor to say corruption in the state is "rampant."
Cuomo told public radio's "Capitol Pressroom" he will galvanize public outrage to change ethical standards and election laws.

Adrenaline-2 released! (PSVita – ePSP Custom Firmware)
Adrenaline version 2 is finally out after being promised by TheFlow in February. It's April now but I think it's much better to have a more complete and bug free version than a buggy update! Of course, that doesn't mean that TheFlow wasn't busy with the Vita as he added USB mass storage device support for easy file transfer and the ability to use a pen drive or external S/HDD via VitaShell.
What's Adrenaline-2?
Adrenaline is a hack via a Custom IPL to be able to use your Vita as a PSP so it's an ePSP hack. ePSP hacks have been pretty popular throughout the Vita's lifetime especially before HenKAKU was released. The internal PSP emulator allows us to play all PSP games, run PSP homebrew and do other stuff. VHBL, unlike ePSP hacks, only allows *some* PSP homebrew. Without a doubt, Adrenaline is an awesome piece of software because it seriously enchances the built-in PSP emulator on the Vita. ARK is another ePSP hack but it doesn't have extra features, such as custom filters, but can run on 3.61 and 3.63. Adrenaline-2 requires taiHEN of course!
What changed/got updated?
Adrenaline-2 brings some very notable changes such as:
- Allowing you to use 64MB in homebrews (PSP 2000+ homebrews can now be run)
- Letting you use ur0 as the memory stick (ur0 is found on all Vita models even the FAT (1000/1k) ). Beware when using it as nobody has confirmed if long term usage of ur0 is SAFE.
- An advanced AA was added
- You can change scren size
- You may change the way how smooth graphics work
- The sound issue in "MotorStorm" and some other games has been fixed
- ms0:/PICTURE and ms0:/PICTURE are now seen by XMB so say hello to custom wallpapers
- Changing settings in official settings now has effects
- Files for Adrenaline should now be placed in ux0:/adrenaline not ux0:/pspemu/Adrenaline
Of course, you can still use plugins, VSHMenu and all stuff that worked in the previous version of Adrenaline! Installation instructions are in the official GitHub gist release page below! Make sure you properly read the instructions and report any issues to TheFlow. PSX support is still not there so don't bug TheFlow about it.. use the PSX core in RetroArch or use ARK without sound! Right stick analogue patches still work of course 🙂

About 13 mi/21 km southwest of Nice, France, you'll find Antibes, a pretty beach town with the largest pleasure port in France.
Antibes' Old Town offers a wide range of activities and many nice restaurants, galleries and clothing shops. Every day but Monday, vendors sell local produce and other goods at a wonderful open-air market in the Old Town.
In 1946, Pablo Picasso was invited to set up his studio in the 12th-century Chateau Grimaldi, and the core collection of the museum is the work he produced during his stay. Behind the Chateau Grimaldi are the city's medieval ramparts—climb up for gorgeous views of neighboring resorts and the sea. The best beach for sunbathing is the Plage de la Salis toward the Cap d'Antibes. Antibes also has a jazz festival every summer.
Just inside Antibes' walls is the area known as Safranier and the Bastion St. Andre (an archaeological museum). From the harbor, Port Vauban, you can see the 16th-century Fort Carre (open year-round except Monday, Christmas, and the first day of January, May and November).
At the resort of Cap d'Antibes, see the Tour du Grillon Naval and Napoleonic Museum in the Sella Tower and views from the sanctuary of La Garoupe.
Nearby Juan les Pins has sandy beaches (in particular a long 1-mi/2-km stretch of beach), all kinds of watersports, upscale boutiques, nightlife and the Eden Beach Casino.
It's possible to take a boat trip year-round to two of the Isles de Lerins: Ste. Marguerite (the fortress where The Man in the Iron Mask was imprisoned) and Ste. Honorat (an 11th-century abbey).

This thread is inspired by a YouTuber I'm subscribed to Cody Webber. Cody uploaded a video pretty much stating that he felt he doesn't fit into the category of liberal or conservative. So my question is, do we need a new title for persons who feel they don't fit into either category?
Views: 448
OK, so not "liberal" or "conservative" - what about "reasonable"?
I'm not sure "reasonable" really says much at all from a political or social perspective. What is reasonable to one person may be unreasonable to another. Its too vague in my opinion
I think liberal and conservative are useful descriptors when it comes to the basis of the outlook of most people. If you don't find some foundation in those broad strokes then feel free to use something else. I consider myself a 'social conservative'. I want a small government that mostly keeps its nose out of our lives but I feel that some minimum of social safety nets is beneficial to everyone. Like most conservatives, I want to see a justice system that is 'tough on crime', but like most socially oriented people I feel that addiction should be treated as an illness, not a crime. So, by tacking a little adjective onto 'conservative' I can quickly communicate what my views might entail. Is this not possible for most?
You have a point I must admit. However the problem is both of these labels or descriptions are very heavily stereotyped and somewhat butchered to a severe degree.
For example "conservative" is often viewed as a person who limits themselves to very traditional values (mostly religiously orientated)
Where as "liberalism" has its own stereotypes of being overly PC, being borderline socialist, being biased and advocating more rights for the individual and not the majority etc The list goes on
So while you perceive that using the label "conservative" is communicating your views, that does not automatically mean that everyone will be on the same page and automatically accurately guess (or even understand) your view points.
I find that whatever page they land on in judging my 'social conservative' stance says more about them than it does about me. If nothing else, it's a point at which the conversation begins. When trying to guess a number between 1 and 100, one starts with 50 rather than asking philosophical questions about quantifying conjecture.
When I hear and use the term "social conservative" I don't associate it with what you are describing. I (and others who I talk to about politics) think of a social conservative as one who disagrees with gay rights, wants to limit abortions, thinks Christianity ought to be the national religion, and the like. I think of a fiscal conservative as one who wants small government (except for defense), minimal taxes, few limits placed on business, and thinks that most if not all social safety nets are wasteful government entitlements.
This suggests to me that you are an American. Perhaps it would translate to 'conservative socialist' in Americanese?
I too have a hard time trying to figure out what to call myself politically. Sure, if you want to paint me with a broad brush than I certainly fall on the liberal end of the spectrum. However, this spectrum is so broad that that any nuance of opinion is pretty much lost.
If you want to be in a political party and you really care about what party you would like to fit into than I suggest you look up a list of all American political parties. There are lots of them but like I said before if you really care you will study each of them or at least study each until the first sign of a disagreement with their beliefs. If you can get through one you find completely agreeable than that could be the one for you. You have plenty to choose from and chances are there is one you will like. They even have a Marijauna Party but if you fail to find one you can always start your own.
Why do you need a word for yourself? We always want to have nice little neat packages that we fit into and can wrap up with a pretty bow. We want to be able to say, "I'm a republican/conservative/liberal/democrat/green/hippopotomus" and have people know exactly what we mean. Why would you want to be that simple?
In order for there to be a word to describe a mindset, so many people would have to conform to that mindset. If you don't conform to it, that means that you have thought, and diverted from the majority. That is a good thing. That's what makes us atheists.
Be proud of your differences I say. Wear them like a badge of honor. Take the time to explain your opinions and your beliefs. Don't look for a term that fits everything, that's boring.
As for me personally, the word that comes closest is objectivist, but even that doesn't fit all of my beliefs. So I don't call myself an objectivist. I'm just me, and that is a good enough term.
You will most likely fit into one or more of the categories of political thought, though not necessarily fit into one of the parties who purportedly represents the view. When people make statements such as yours it tends to tell me that they are not very informed in regards to political thought.
Liberalism is the idea of individual rights and equality being the foundation of society. To understand the philosophy underpinning the central tenements you will usually be directed first towards the writings of Mill, Locke, and Kant. The main issues with liberalism is a backsliding into anarchy and the tyranny of the majority.
Conservatism is the idea that revolution is to be avoided and stability preferred, and the importance of tradition and values. Conservatism is more of a general idea and less a philosophy than liberalism, and the first stops to understand it would be the writings of Burke, de Tocqueville, and de Maistre. The main issues with conservatism is a backsliding into reactionism and dictatorship.
Today the classical distinction between the schools of thought have been diminished greatly with most parties and political philosophers picking from both schools and marrying the ideas. The third major school of thought is socialism, and a combination of certain elements of all three schools tend to be dubbed progressivism or social democracy. Most atheists I know and know of tend be in the latter category, I certainly find my home there.
After a bit of research I leaned that there is in fact a term that may fit in with me a bit more, it very rare though and not may people know about it. The term is known as an "equalist". Its not even listed in the majority of English Dictionaries. In a nut shell it is the advocation of universal equality especially for gender, race and sexual orientation. It is more of a social stance than a political stance from what I understand

Their comments came as the U.S. and Britain warned about the risks of an Israeli ground assault in the Gaza Strip, while vigorously defending the Jewish state's right to protect itself against rocket attacks.
"Egypt, watch what you do and how you do it," said Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, in an interview Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press." ''You're teetering with the Congress on having your aid cut off if you keep inciting violence between the Israelis and the Palestinians."
Israeli officials say the airstrikes are aimed at ending months of rocket fire out of the Hamas-ruled territory. Israel began the offensive with an unexpected airstrike that killed Hamas' military chief, and since then has targeted suspected rocket launchers and storage sites.
But the crisis has since grown in scope with a mounting civilian death toll and suggestions that Israel is considering a ground invasion in lieu of Egyptian-led truce efforts.
President Barack Obama told reporters Sunday that "Israel has every right to expect that it does not have missiles fired into its territory." But he also suggested avoiding the use of ground troops if possible.
"It's not just preferable for the people of Gaza," he said at a news conference in Bangkok at the start of a three-nation visit to Asia. "It's also preferable for Israelis, because if Israeli troops are in Gaza, they're much more at risk of incurring fatalities or being wounded."
Obama said he has told Egypt's president, Mohammed Morsi, and Turkey's prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, that "those who champion the cause of the Palestinians should recognize that if we see a further escalation of the situation in Gaza, then the likelihood of us getting back on any kind of peace track that leads to a two-state solution is going to be pushed off way into the future."
Lawmakers on Sunday agreed, and said all eyes were on Morsi.
"It's pretty weak so far, from what I can tell," Sen. Carl Levin said of Egypt's response to the conflict.
"I think that they're going to have to take some very serious steps diplomatically to make it clear to Hamas that they're going to lose support in the Arab world if they continue these rocket attacks on Israel," added Levin, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Lawmakers also blamed Iran for arming Hamas militants, and questioned Egypt's role in that.
"My guess is there has to be some tacit involvement in Egypt and the border or these things wouldn't be getting in to Gaza," said Rep. C.A. "Dutch" Ruppersberger, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee.
Sen. Joseph Lieberman said he thinks the threat of a ground war is overblown.
"I don't think the Israelis really want a ground war," he told "Fox News Sunday." ''They'll go into Gaza if they feel they need to, to eliminate the remainder of the missiles. ... So really, the decision is up to Hamas, as to whether there will be a ground invasion of Gaza or not."

Phil Africa Passes Away
From Denver Anarchist Black Cross
On Saturday, January 10th 2015 Phil Africa, revolutionary, John Africa's First Minister of Defense, and beloved brother, husband and father, passed away under suspicious circumstances at the State Correctional Institution at Dallas, PA.
On Sunday, January 4th Phil Africa wasn't feeling well and went to the prison infirmary. Though he wasn't feeling well, other inmates saw Phil Africa walking, stretching and doing jumping jacks. Hearing that Phil was in the infirmary MOVE members drove up to visit him and were denied a visit by the prison. While they were visiting with Delbert Africa, Phil was secretly transported to Wilkes Barre General Hospital where he was held in total isolation, incommunicado for five days.
Prison officials at SCI-Dallas wouldn't communicate about Phil's condition. They told MOVE that Phil was at Wilkes Barre General hospital but the hospital denied he was there and this back and forth lie went on for days almost the entire time Phil was being held. The hospital and the prison behaved very suspiciously denying Phil the ability to call family members or his wife of 44 years, Janine Africa, stating that she was not a blood relative. The hospital and prison received hundreds of phone calls in support of Phil from around the world. When they finally submitted to pressure and allowed Phil to call Janine on Thursday, January 8th he was heavily drugged, incoherent and couldn't even hold the phone to talk to her. (more…)

Senate passes change to bill publication
The Wisconsin state Senate has passed a bill that takes away the power of the secretary of state office to delay publishing bills passed by the Legislature.
Democrats opposed the measure Tuesday, which they say is about political payback against actions Secretary of State Doug La Follette took in 2011.
La Follette angered Republicans in 2011 by delaying publication of a bill that effectively ended collective bargaining for most public workers and required them to pay more for health insurance and pensions.
The bill gives duties of publishing bills exclusively to the Legislative Reference Bureau, which would publish bills the day after they are signed by the governor.
It passed on a party line 17-14 vote. Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos also supports the measure, which should clear its passage there. It is not yet scheduled for a vote in the Assembly.

Where do I start? Better recovery, better sleep, less flab, stronger muscles and more endurance. In 2003, before Herbalife, I competed in the UK Half-Ironman Triathlon. It took nearly a week for me to be able to walk down the stairs without holding the banister.
In 2005 I decide to challenge myself even more by completing the UK Full Ironman. This was double the distances of the Half-Ironman and needed a precise nutrition plan incorporating Herbalife Inner Nutrition products.
My mixture of carbohydrates and protein as fuel and protein bars, together with a large shake was tested throughout my training sessions for nearly 9 months. The race went brilliantly, non-stop for 13 hours and finishing in the dark. The miracle was that I was able to carry the suitcases downstairs, from our hotel, the following morning. The pain in my legs had subsided within 48 hours of completing this epic race. That's all down to brilliant products in a good nutritional plan integrated into your training sessions.

Great idea, not to difficult to achieve at first glance but i imagine there may be more that i am some how missing
QuoteGreat idea, not to difficult to achieve at first glance but i imagine there may be more that i am some how missingyah and you can't beat it at 4 dollars an encoder. They worked great!I simply took datasheet dimensions of the photo interrupters and catered my code wheels and interrupter mounting to fit. I was able to make a 20Hz PID controller using these encoders. I actually just wrote a paper on the design and implementation. I'd attached it to this post but it about 10meg. I have since learned more about PID implementation. I have developed a pretty nice controller that can run on an atmega168 using an Output compare interrupt and two external interrupts. My latest build had the controller taking 37 us for the PID loop to complete. The software is currently running in the arduino environment but The code is pure c so I can easily port it to avr studio and post a copy if there is a need.
I am making an encoder wheel for the community project. I'll post and keep people updated with plans ,shematics, and 3D files which will be Sketchup and/or Auto Cadwhat do people think of this module idea?
I'll work on writing the code in a way that will not get too complicated (lots of comments and such). I'll probably post it in a day or two ok?
I also shoot to have the maximum ticks per PID cycle to be greater than my pwm resolution (0-255 for an 8 bit timer ).

If you can raise your brow high enough, you could consider the rarefied world of super-luxury vehicles a commercial microcosm of the New Zealand new-car market.
Potential buyers of the all-new Range Rover are climbing over rocks and splashing through rivers to get to Land Rover's showroom door. Local importer Motor Distributors Ltd (MDL) expects to sell 100 of them this year.
Early adopting Range Rover enthusiasts make a serious contribution to the tally of course, but part of the reason for the Range Rover's success is that it's not just one of the world's finest off-road vehicles, it also competes directly with super-luxury sedans.
In fact, it competes directly with another car made by the very same company, the Jaguar XJ.
Now, the XJ was the second-biggest-selling top-line luxury sedan in New Zealand last year, partly fuelled by MDL's decision to embrace currency advantage and battle the parallel importers by slashing XJ prices - the supercharged XJ Portfolio tested here dropped $40,000 to a nice round $200,000.
Second in this segment equates to precisely 16 registrations. Granted, the XJ is no longer the latest thing and it does come under huge pressure from used-import vehicles, but the sales situation still illustrates that Kiwi buyers prefer off-road style vehicles over most others: as much in the ultra-luxury segment as they do among mid-price, mid-size family machines.
I'd argue it's got a lot more to do with personal taste than actually wanting that off-road ability. Astonishing as the Range Rover is in tough conditions, even its maker admits than only 15 per cent of buyers take their vehicles properly off road. Whereas 100 per cent of XJ owners probably waft around and feel awesome, so you could argue it fulfils its purpose far better.
It's a great car, the XJ. All-aluminium (like the Range Rover in fact), which means our XJ Portfolio V8 supercharged weighs exactly the same (well, there's 1kg in it) as the XF with the same engine - a much smaller car, but with conventional steel construction.
The XJ's exterior is idiosyncratic to some but it's unmistakably Jaguar, very modern and boasts a huge amount of presence. You could say the same of the cabin, which is configured around sweeping lines, top-quality leather and clever technology like a completely digital instrument panel (which simulates old-school dials but can change form when required) and a dual-view centre screen, which can show the driver and passenger different things because they're looking at it from different angles. Yes, this stuff is also offered on the Range Rover.
Here's something you won't get with a Range Rover: superb steering feel, an astonishingly nimble chassis and the temptation to drive your luxury car like a performance coupe. The XJ rides beautifully on all roads, but shrugs off its physical size when you start to drive it enthusiastically. It sounds good, too. The 346kW/575Nm 5.0-litre supercharged V8 doesn't have as much power as the top Range Rover with the same base engine (you'll need the $245,000 XJ Supersport for that), but it sounds better.
Jaguar has allowed the XJ a distinctive supercharger soundtrack, whereas the characterful whirring is kept to more polite levels in the Range Rover.
Make sure you order the eight-speed automatic, though.
Our 2012-model XJ test car had a six-speed gearbox, which is really out of step with the seven and eight-speed competition. And yet is still highly effective.
It's kind of weird to think that a vehicle like the Range Rover, which is designed around such a broad range of dynamic abilities, succeeds so well as a luxury car. The XJ, which is intended to be primarily a luxury sedan, succeeds comprehensively as a driver-focused machine.
They are both magnificent of course, so what's to lose? It's just that sedans are simply not as desirable as off-roaders in New Zealand, at whatever price.
The tiny size of the luxury-sedan segment is certainly a problem for the XJ, but it must be nice for MDL to also have one of the solutions.

Deacon's Etiquette
it is my understanding that in the greek practise, kissing the hands of deacons was both common and proper, as a sign of respect to the hands that have touched Communion (not for a blessing); whereas it is in the russian practise that kissing the deacon's hands is wrong. can someone verify this before any changes are made? Pistevo 00:14, 16 Jul 2005 (EDT)
- I can't, of course, speak for all Greeks everywhere, but my understanding is that it is inappropriate to kiss a deacon's hand regardless of ethnic tradition. I am a deacon in the Antiochian Archdiocese, which follows the Greek/Byzantine tradition as a general rule, and kissing the hands of deacons is not done. —Dcn. David talk contribs
- I've likewise never seen deacon's hands being kissed, whether in Byzantine or Slavic practice, either here in the US or in the handful of parishes I've been to in the UK. —Dcn. Andrew talk random contribs 08:49, 16 Jul 2005 (EDT)
DcnDavid, if you'd like to give your sources for saying "dalmaticon is just the Latin cognate; similar to calling a phelonion a chasuble", it could be beneficial. Thanks chrisg 2006-06-21-0909 EAST
- Well, I suppose I could respond by saying I asked you for citations first, but that wouldn't really help move the discussion along. To be honest, the only place I think I've ever seen the term dalmatic in print in an Orthodox context is in the Hapgood service book and subsequent works using Hapgood as a source. I've never seen the term dalmaticon or dalmatikon anywhere before your edits on this wiki (and a Google search of both terms fails to demonstrate the usage you advocate).
- Hapgood is, as I described here, a translation from Slavonic into English undertaken by a non-Orthodox translator in the early 20th century. As a translation, it suffers. Hapgood insists on calling the sticharion a dalmatic; Hapgood also refers to the phelonion as a chasuble (e.g., p. xxxviii).
- As to dalmatic being a Latin cognate for sticharion, I suppose you could look in any English dictionary with an etymology. Both the OED and the online version of Merriam-Webster agree that the term derives ultimately from the Latin dalmaticus, meaning Dalmatian or from Dalmatia (as the text of your article entitled Dalmatikon would seem to indicate).
- Please note that I don't have a problem of noting the variant usage of dalmatic (again, apparently, not dalmatic/kon) in the Sticharion article if you feel it adds to the knowledge base of the audience for OrthodoxWiki. I, myself, am interested to know who among the Orthodox uses this term and how they came to use it, which is why I asked the questions I did on the Dalmatic article's discussion page. I think it is sloppy wikification, however, to have two articles on the same subject under two different titles. I believe sticharion is the favored term and, thus, should be the main title. Moreover, OrthodoxWiki's Style Manual prefers use of Greek terms where no standard English term predominates. —Dcn. David talk contribs 20:39, June 20, 2006 (CDT)
Priests acting as Deacons
Priests in the Orthodox traditions can do anything a deacon can do, except they cannot vest as a deacon. Consequently, when they chant a diaconal litany, they do so from the altar, and do not raise their wing in praise like a deacon does.
Andrew, I agree with you that in the Latin and Anglican traditions, priests vest as deacons when they perform the role of a deacon at solemn mass or eucharist. Most orthodox find it strange that these priests "pretend" to be deacons by vesting as such. It is almost as if liturgical appearance is more important than the substance of their orders.

Whether you're tripped up in transition, or you struggle with the swim, everyone has different weaknesses and strengths when it comes to triathlons. That's part of the appeal - and the challenge - of a multi-sport event. To help make that leap between disciplines a little bit easier, we asked some professional triathletes for their tips on tackling every aspect of the race.
"I like to do a short run on the morning of my race. It helps to clear the mind, warm up the legs and offers a bit of 'me-time' to focus on the race ahead. I also warm up with a swim - it's important to be ready for the fast start."
Hollie Avil, European and World Junior Triathlon Champion and Corus Elite Ambassador
"I tackle the warm up in reverse order by going from the run, to the bike, then the swim. How much time I spend on each is dictated by the weather: if it's really hot I only run for a short time."
Andrea Whitcombe, Winner of 2006 London Triathlon, she's represented Great Britain at the Olympics
"Make sure you have plenty of time before the race. Take the time to work out the route from the swim to your bike and then from the transition area to the start of the cycle. Do the same for the return from the bike and out on the run. Nothing is worse in the heat of competition than not being able to find your bike or running shoes in the transition area."
Richard Hobson, Five-time British Middle Distance Champion and triathlete coach at www.triliving.co.uk
"Stay calm and relaxed. I double check transition set ups, put my wetsuit on then visualise the race route in my head from beginning to end. Once the gun goes off you are just executing the race as you have prepared in training, taking every stroke, pedal and foot step as they come."
Scott Neyedli, UK Ironman Champion and British Triathlon's Male Elite Long Distance Triathlete of Year 2007
"The day before the race have a carbohydrate-biased day to ensure you are fully fuelled. Keep fully hydrated and keep drinking water up to within an hour of the start."
Sam Gardner, former winner, of the Vitruvian Half-Ironman and the 2005 London Duathlon
"I like to have everything else ready and organised so all I have to do for the last hour before the race is get my body ready. I do a 15-minute jog to warm up then five sets of strides to increase blood flow to my legs, building the pace each time. I prepare my arms with stretches, then put on my wetsuit and jump in the water to do a swim warm-up."
Stephen Bayliss, Former Bala Middle Distance Champion and Ibiza HDF Spanish Long Distance Champion
"Don't look up too often to try to see where you are going. It's important to know what direction you're going in, but raising your head up out of the water can break the rhythm of your stroke. A good tip is to follow the bubbles from the person's feet in front of you."
Hollie Avil
"Try to stay relaxed on the swim - it's easier said than done but if you're tense your muscles will tighten up
and your stroke will become shorter."
Andrea Whitcombe
"Practise sighting beforehand: it is difficult to swim in a straight line when you have no lines to follow in open water. Be prepared to be bumped around a bit, stay calm and keep swimming."
Richard Hobson
"Practise the water-polo drill - swimming freestyle but holding your face out of the water - before you race, either in a pool or in open water. This will strengthen your neck for when you need to pull your head out of the water to sight buoys. Learning to breathe bilaterally is also a good idea."
Scott Neyedli
"If you are swimming in the sea, breathe on your less-favoured side to avoid the waves coming from the left/right. Try to draft someone that is a similar speed to you, but don't presume they are going in the right direction. And wear your hat over your goggles, so they don't get ripped off by one of your competitors' arms."
Sam Gardner
"Mass starts in open water can be intimidating for novices or weaker swimmers. Try to find some space for yourself at the side or back of the pack to avoid the washing-machine effect the other triathletes will create."
Stephen Bayliss
"Look at what direction any boats in the water are facing - they will always face against the current. If you are swimming in a river it's best to stick to the bank but in the middle of the water you'll be faster with the current pushing you on."
James Parker, British Middle Distance Junior Champion in 1997. Winner of the Orca Longest Day Tri
"Visualise the transition beforehand, imagining yourself doing it and remembering the order that you need to do things. Just as I'm coming to the end of the swim in a race, I go through a check list of what I need to do when I'm in the first transition and in what order."
Hollie Avil
"I tie my bike shoes to my bike with elastic bands and always cover the shoes in talc and vaseline so I can slide my feet in easily. I also balance my helmet and sunglasses on my tribars so they are easy to put on."
Andrea Whitcombe
"Practise transitions during race week and if possible, incorporate brick swim/bike sessions into your training programme. Also simply practise taking off your wetsuit quickly after a pool swim to ensure you are not doing anything new when you race."
Scott Neyedli
"Have a clear plan in your head as to which order you will do everything: wetsuit off, helmet on, shoes on, bike off rack, jump on bike. And remember: less haste more speed."
Stephen Bayliss
"Kicking your legs a little stronger towards the end of the swim will increase the blood flow to your outer limbs and reduce the dizziness that you could feel when standing. Once on your feet, steady yourself and make your way as comfortably as you can to your bike. Remember if you don't plan to succeed then you plan to fail."
James Parker
"In a competitive event, be prepared to go flat out from the start and go with the pace of the pack. If the pace eases off at any point, you can grab a drink. If you are suffering badly, tell yourself to hang on - the pain will ease off eventually."
Andrea Whitcombe
"You should spin at a high cadence of 90 to 100 repetitions per minute, and use the gears regularly to make sure your legs are moving at the same speed."
Sam Gardner
"Race wheels can be quite expensive but if your budget allows it, think about investing in a good set of wheels that you only use for racing to help reduce wind resistance and turbulence."
Scott Neyedli
"Don't worry too much about being aerodynamic if you are new to triathlon, but you should make sure that your bike fits. A good bike shop should be able to help you find a comfortable cycling position by adjusting the saddle height and reach to the handle bars."
Stephen Bayliss
"Understand the specificity of the fit of your bike. If you want to undertake an Ironman a standard road bike might not be the best choice for you and likewise if you are new to triathlon, riding an extreme-positioned time-trial bike may not be the best idea."
James Parker
"This is the time to remind yourself of all the hours of hard training you've put in and say to yourself that you are physically able to cope with the run ahead. Only a mental hitch can stop you now - if you let it. If you love racing, you'll love getting on to the run as that's what determines the winner."
Hollie Avil
"Believe in yourself - the training that you have put in will get you through the run. I look forward to this part of the race because I can't wait to get off the bike."
Andrea Whitcombe
"Get to know the feeling of going from the bike to the run - you might not feel great at first but as you get into the run it becomes easier, and practise makes a real difference. Also remember that you might feel tired but so will everyone else."
Richard Hobson
"There are always highs and lows in a race and at T2 I boost my spirits by telling myself 'two legs completed, one to go.' I also try to focus, even if I'm not feeling too good, by taking every step as it comes and breaking up the race into smaller chunks to make the run leg seem shorter. This could include land marks, where you know you have supporters, aid stations or turn around points."
Scott Neyedli
"Remember that everybody is tired at this point - just put your running shoes on, start steady and try to maintain a good steady pace throughout. The biggest skill in triathlon running is being strong and fit so you can run well after cycling hard."
Stephen Bayliss
"The first 15 minutes when you run off the bike are certainly the most uncomfortable but you'll feel better from then on. It's easy to become demoralised because you might feel you are not running at your full potential, but a little patience at the transition will go a long way towards the end of your race."
James Parker
"Don't get carried away at the start. Many triathletes start the run too fast then suffer later on in the race. Start off at a steady pace and aim to pick it up gradually if you feel good. It's much better to finish well than to blow up half way through and not finish at all."
Andrea Whitcombe
"Break the run into smaller sections, like the next feed station, or the next lap if it's a multi-lap course. Try to Concentrate on technique if you're struggling, such as keeping your shoulders relaxed and using your arms. Finding a breathing rhythm in time with your feet will take your mind off the pain you're enduring."
Sam Gardner
"Check out the terrain and road conditions prior to the race start to ensure you make the correct running shoe choice. Try to run within your known limits at least until half way to three quarters through the run and then, if you are still feeling good, push for the finish."
Scott Neyedli
"It is very unlikely that you will run faster in the last half of the run than the first, so aim to be conservative in the first half."
Stephen Bayliss
"There's no point in setting off at four-minute kilometres if you are aiming to finish with an average of five-minute kilometres: start off slower than your target pace and build up the speed. You may feel like you can't keep going and you need to slow down, but be strong and the chances are you will be able to keep going!"
James Parker

ARLINGTON — And on this farm there was a podcast.
Old MacDonald's farm has entered a new age.
Mark Lovejoy recently started a weekly podcast to promote his farm and his love of the soil.
"You can reach a lot of people with low overhead," said Lovejoy, 37.
On air, he's known as "The Dirty Cultivator."
The podcast studio is a table in the office/playroom/breakroom at Garden Treasures Nursery &Organic Farm.
"Coming to you live from Studio G.T. in Arlington, Washington, this is The Dirty Cultivator show," the podcast begins after a bluegrass theme song sets the mood.
Then comes serious farm talk as well as playful banter between the deep-voiced Lovejoy and his chatty co-host and co-worker, Kari LaSalata, with input from his childhood buddy and podcast producer Jesse "J.D. Hollywood" Collver.
The 60-minute podcast has a market report, special guests, garden Q&A, newsy issues and random rhetoric about, say, onions.
"I don't understand the people that can eat them like an apple. Sheesh," Lovejoy says, when the topic turns to Walla Walla sweet onions, but admits he's super-stoked about the baby pearls. He has the same enthusiasm when analyzing the difference between artificial-hothouse and grown-in-the-real-mother-earth tomatoes.
LaSalata, who goes by "Kari K," is funny and fanciful. "Plant sex might be an off-kilter subject but…" she says to preface a segment on picking male and female flowers off zucchini plants.
She's a fountain of practical advice when it comes to making an apple pie from squash or warning not to over-water plants. "You don't want to walk around in wet socks," she says, "and neither do your plants."
No rehearsal needed for this pair of podcasters who mix it up like seasoned radio deejays.
"We have some talking points and an outline we go over, but we're not scripted," LaSalata said.
They segue from sugar snap peas to dancing horses at a parade to trading cherries for curly fries at the farmers market. That leads to a discourse about the price per pound of potatoes and the hot-button issue of labor.
The digital forum seems to be working.
"People are listening and commenting on it at the market," Lovejoy said.
Adam Stevens, owner of animal-based Adalyn Farm in Stanwood, tunes into "The Dirty Cultivator" podcast on his commute to his day job as a commercial electrician.
"It builds interest in the local food scene so people patronize local producers," Stevens said. "It's fun to listen to. It's interesting to hear him get riled up about some of the stuff farmers get riled up about it."
Lovejoy began listening to podcasts to fight the boredom of driving a tractor. "Some days I'll drive until 10 o'clock at night and wake up at 7 and start doing it again," he said. "It's such long arduous hours."
He couldn't find podcasts by farmers talking about farming. "There was really nothing out there. I'd listen to independent Libertarian guys from Colorado or guys amped about history that told stories about World War II or Genghis Kahn or things like that," he said. "I got the idea from (comedian) Joe Rogan to do my own show. He said if you have a subject and want to talk about it start your own podcast. It's the freedom of what a podcast is."
First, he needed a name. Guess what he did?
"I listened to a podcast about naming things," he said. "We came up with list of over 100 names."
Contenders: Northwest Plant Rant. Gardening with Lovejoy. Northwest Beet.
He plans to bring "The Dirty Cultivator" brand to the next level. "We got stuff in the works to produce T-shirts and postcards," he said.
Setting up the studio required an investment of about $1,000 in non-farming tools like microphones, filters, headsets and audio interface.
"We ended up buying all this stuff on Amazon and then returning all this stuff on Amazon," Lovejoy said, "and then going down to Bigfoot Music here in Arlington and they hooked us up with the right equipment."
He tweets to promote the podcast and recently shot video to loop at farmers markets. "So they can see the fields," he said. "So people can see it is actually coming from a farm. Some people don't know where Arlington is."
Lovejoy said a future podcast will have a junior farmer segment by his son, Dante, 8. Chances are his daughter, Valentina, 20 months, will get in on it somehow, beyond sharing her playroom with the podcasters.
Lovejoy and his wife, Patricia, bought the historic dairy farm with the big red barn in 2005 and retooled it as an organic plant farm.
"I grew up at a nursery business two miles down the road," he said. "I wanted to do organic farming because I didn't want to work with chemicals."
Still, it's not the first career choice for the 6-foot-5 farmer.
"I wanted to be a professional extreme sports athlete. I'm too big and not crazy enough," he said. "I did the next best thing and became a crazy vegetable farmer."

Third child dies from fire in Racine
A 7-year-old boy died Friday, a day after this two sisters died after their Racine home caught fire early Thursday morning.
"They went to take him off of life support this morning, so the family is still up there," said William Scott, an uncle.
Dayja Scott, 9, and her 8-year-old sister, Dalijah, died Thursday. The younger brother, Luther, is expected to survive.
Their mother escaped the fire unharmed physically, but emotionally the family said she is in bad shape.
"She is hurt terribly, just almost inconsolable. She is very, very devastated" Scott said.
The Racine Police Department said its preliminary investigation indicates the fire was an accident.
WISN 12 News learned late Friday afternoon that it was the children's mother who called 911 for help the morning of the fire.
In the 911 call, Deborah Scott told the dispatcher she can hear her children screaming but can't get to them.
"They (are) downstairs, but it's too far back. I can't see. I hear them but I can't see nothing," she said.
Four minutes into the call fire crews arrive at the scene.
While investigators are still trying to determine the cause of the fire, the city is trying to figure our how to keep funding the fire department.
There is a proposal in next years budget to close a fire station. Alderman Michael Shields, who lives in the Scott family's district, said this fire is a perfect example why the fire department should not be cut.
Associated Bank is accepting monetary donations for The Scott Children Family Fund. Donations will be accepted at all Associated Bank locations.

Arlon Graphics Launches New Corporate Logo
"Creating innovative materials for visual expression" is company's new brand expression.
Arlon Graphics has announced the launch of its new corporate logo worldwide, as well as a new brand expression: "Creating Innovative Materials for Visual Expression." The new logo and brand image are part of a strategic goal to form a stronger brand connection with Arlon customers and to differentiate the brand from its competitors, the company reports.
The orange and gray colors in the logo combined with its modern symbol is a clear departure from the industrial red color and bulky typeset formerly used by Arlon – and still used by many other industrial companies, says Arlon.
"The launch of our new branding coincides perfectly with all of the great initiatives we have going on within the company. The new branding and message will really set us apart from others in the industry and symbolizes a new beginning for Arlon," says Holly Curtis, director marketing communications for Arlon. "We are very excited to roll this out to the industry along with the upcoming new Arlon Production Center and our recent technology system upgrades."

Khloe Kardashian and Mario Lopez have signed on to host The X Factor, according to TMZ.
Kardashian had been an early frontrunner to nab the hosting gig, as the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star has a similar fan base as new judges Britney Spears and Demi Lovato.
Fall TV Popularity Contest: Vote for your favorite new shows!
Lopez, the Saved by the Bell alum who currently hosts Extra, and Kardashian are expected to join X Factor in November for the live shows. They would replace the ousted Steve Jones, who was initially paired with Nicole Scherzinger before she moved to the judges' table. She was also unceremoniously ousted along with Paula Abdul as X Factor underwent an overhaul, leaving only Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid as judges before the additions of Spears and Lovato.
Fox had no comment on the report.
The X Factor debuted to 7.5 million viewers in September, lower than NBC competitor The Voice, which drew 10.7 million viewers.
