Northwoods Spotlight - Min-Aqua Bats July 24
Submitted: 07/24/2013
Marisa Silvas
Morning Anchor/Reporter
Play Video
- The Northwoods provides many summer activities to enjoy outdoors. But not all of them include free entertainment... Three nights a week, you can head to Lake Minocqua and take in a waterski show.
Andrew McFerrin "We're a 100% amateur waterski club," Andrew McFerrin explains. He's one of the members of the Min-Aqua Bats.
Another member, Elin Wahman adds, "It's been one of the best things I've done in my life."
Since 1950, the Min-Aqua Bats have been entertaining locals and tourists with a top notch ski show. The performers range from pre-teens to 25 years old and it's clear they love what they do.
"It's like acrobatics on waterskis and it's an incredible thing to watch," says Anna Tedstrom also from the Min-Aqua Bats.
Mary Beyer is a fan.
"It's nice enjoyment and it's wonderful to see what the kids do out there."
For many of the skiers, being a Min-aqua bat runs in the family.
Elin "My mom was a Min-Aqua Bat," Elin Wahman proudly proclaims.
Connor Tedstrom adds, "My grandma was a Min-Aqua Bat in the '50's."
Some just grew up liking the idea of performing.
Christian Wahman says, "I definitely thought that these people watersking were so cool and I wanted to be one of them when I was older."
Anna Tedstrom adds, "I used to watch the shows and be like, oh my god, that's the girl on top of the pyramid, I want to be her."
They're known as the world's oldest amateur waterski team... and they perform a wide variety of exciting acts.
The shows here attract quite a crowd and the skiers become local celebrities.
"It's fun to walk downtown with a bunch of our Min-Aqua Bat friends and they're like, oh those are the Min-Aqua Bats," Anna Tedstrom explains.
Christian Wahman says, "It's great to have all the little kids come down and ask for autographs after the show."
And this talented group shows no signs of slowing down.
Chris Coleman is a former Min-Aqua Bat.
"I'm hopeful that the club continues and that they can maintain the heritage that we've built."
Connor Tedstrom says, "There's a lot of traditions here and we've just got to keep it going for another 64 years."

- Authorities have been searching a Kenosha County lake for a missing fisherman from Illinois.
The search on Silver Lake began Tuesday night after family members reported 66-year-old John Spoor of McHenry, Illinois, had not returned from his fishing trip. Sheriff's officials located the man's boat, but there was no sign of him.
Kenosha County Sheriff's Sgt. Bill Beth says the department had five boats on the water Wednesday. The search was halted Wednesday evening because of darkness, and the Kenosha News reports search teams are expected to return to the scene Thursday morning.

Students learn about nature
Submitted: 09/17/2014
Play Video
- More than 50 fourth graders from Tomahawk learned about nature on Wednesday as part of long-lived education program. UW-Stevens Point staff at Treehaven host programs to teach elementary students about nature. The program has been around Tomahawk Public Schools for more than 25 years.
"We are doing a lot about the history of Tomahawk, the people that were here in the early 1800s and just a little bit about the land," explained Naturalist Rachel Anderson. "Right not we've been doing some tree identification and forestry measurements, but this morning they were learning about the voyagers and the Native Americans in this area."
The program covers more than just fall-learning, Treehaven leaders host learning programs in the spring and winter as well. You don't have to be a student to take part in some of the programs at the learning center. They include group hikes where you practice and discuss identifying plants and trees.
"We've had two this fall, and I'm hoping that is something we can continue to do in all seasons and continue to offer," said Anderson. "We've been getting a lot of positive reinforcement that it's something that the public is really interested in, so we hope to continue to offer more in the future."
Treehaven leaders regularly offer programs to the public involving nature, education, and artistry. If you are interested in learning more about these programs and events, you can follow the link listed below the article.

- The Merrill Area Public School District found out how their district compares to others in the state.
The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction evaluates districts and schools and gives them report cards every year.
But the district's online school did much worse than the rest of the district in math.
Students at Bridges Virtual Academy learn almost entirely online.
About 29% of Bridges students are proficient in math. But the state average is about 49%, and the district is almost 52%. That could be because many of the students at Bridges used to be homeschooled.

Picking up a Chip
March 2012
NEW YORKPredicting genetic testing company Signal Genetics recently announced it will acquire the assets of ChipDX LLC to add diagnostic products in development for lung, breast and colon cancers.
Financial terms of the agreement have not been released.
Signal makes a prognostic test for multiple myeloma called MyPRS Plus, and will use its sales team to bring ChipDX's products to market, the company said. ChipDX's BreastGeneDX, ColonGeneDX and LungGeneDX products are designed to determine patients' cancer risk levels.
"The acquisition of the intellectual property and patents of ChipDX dramatically expands and enhances our oncology pipeline," Signal Genetics CEO Joe Hernandez says. "The addition of ChipDX's bioinformatics capabilities drastically reduces our time to market with novel molecular tests designed to facilitate better patient outcomes at a lower cost profile."
Hernandez says the transaction "adds innovative intellectual property, including patented prognostic tests for lung, breast and colon cancers, as well as additional biologics expertise and a web-based interface to Signal Genetics' oncology portfolio."
ChipDX is a privately held molecular diagnostics and personalized medicine company based in New York. It was founded and is currently led by Dr. Ryan VanLaar, who will join Signal Genetics as the head of its Bioinformatics division.
VanLaar says teaming up with Signal Genetics provides his company with a vehicle to ultimately commercialize its strong portfolio of predictive molecular diagnostic tests.
"I look forward to leveraging the experience gained in the development of ChipDX to help Signal Genetics achieve its goals, and ultimately improve patient outcomes," he adds.
Hernandez explains that Signal Genetics' forte is the development and commercialization of predictive and prognostic genomic tests for the treatment of various types of cancerand the acquisition of ChipDX enhances and complements the company's product portfolio.
"This acquisition is part of our strategy to build on our proprietary, algorithm-based prognostic and predictive genetic tests on the market and in development to expand our oncology portfolio," Hernandez says. "Our objective is to provide crucial services for doctors to identify best course of treatment for individual patients in our areas of focus, which now include myeloma, colon, breast, lung and prostateareas that make up a large global market."
With a solid footprint in oncology, ChipDX proved to be an attractive acquisition because of its work in various types of cancer, including most recently for its work on the BreastGeneDX prognostic test.
"We currently have two tests on the market and that are covered by Medicare and private payersMyPRS Plus, the only prognostic genomic test for multiple myeloma on the market, and Previstage GCC, an innovative test to determine if colon cancer is at an advanced stage and its likelihood of recurrence," he says. "With this transaction, Signal acquired additional diagnostic and prognostic tests in development for breast, colon and lung cancers (as well as related patents) that we believe offer great promise for cancer patients."
Signal Genetics will also acquire ChipDX's web-based interface, which will be used to enhance Signal's physician web portal and allow for remote interpretation of test algorithms.
Going forward, Hernandez says success of the acquisition will be gauged by the driving adoption of these innovative tests over time.
"We think there is an undeniable need to identify high risk patients early on to aggressively target cancers," he says. "Our acquisition of ChipDX augments our clinically-driven bioinformatics capabilities, and will help us to facilitate better patient outcomes and more appropriate use of financial resources."

Bone-Density Drug Could Lower Colorectal Cancer Risk
Israeli and American researchers reported this week in the Journal of Clinical Oncology on a new study suggesting that postmenopausal women taking alendronate (Fosamax) were less likely to develop colorectal cancer. The results are "intriguing," said Eric Jacobs, the American Cancer Society's Strategic Director of Pharmacoepidemiology in Reuters Health. However, Jacobs cautioned, a recent large United Kingdom study showed no link between bisphosphonates and colon cancer, but a higher risk of esophageal (throat) cancer. Bone-density drugs are taken by millions of people for osteoporosis and there have been rare but severe side effects including jaw-bone deterioration. Effects of long-term use are not yet known.
Prostate Cancer Treatment Increases Risk of Colorectal Cancer
A commonly used treatment for prostate cancer may increase the risk of colorectal cancer. Older men with prostate cancer who received treatment that reduced androgen had a 30 to 40 percent higher risk of getting colorectal cancer than men who didn't have the therapy. The longer they received the treatment, the greater their risk. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is approved for treatment for men with advanced prostate cancer, but its use is controversial in older men with earlier, low-risk cancer although it is widely used in those men. The link of ADT to colorectal cancer may help lower-risk men make a decision about therapy for their prostate cancer.
Even Heavy Coffee Drinking Does Not Affect Colorectal Cancer Risk
The Finns are among the heaviest coffee drinkers in the world, with each person in Finland consuming more than twice as much coffee every year as the average European and nearly three times as much as Americans. Yet, when more than 60,000 Finns were followed for more than 18 years, there was no difference in colon or rectal cancer between those who drank more than 10 cups a day and those who didn't drink coffee at all.
Colorectal Cancer and Meat — What's the Connection?
Are those steaks and hot dogs bad for you? Several studies have found a connection between eating red and processed meat and colorectal cancer. But the reason for that connection hasn't been clear. To answer the question, researchers collected detailed information about the type of meat eaten by a large group of over 300,000 men and women and how the meat was cooked.
Negative Colonoscopy: No CRC More than Ten Years Later
No participants in a study of the German colonoscopy screening program who had a clear colonoscopy developed colorectal cancer almost twelve years after their exam. Advanced adenomas were also reduced significantly.
GI Specialists Reduce Risk of Cancer after Clear Colonoscopy
After a negative colonoscopy, there is a significantly reduced risk of developing colorectal cancer if the exam was done by a gastroenterologist.
Have a Cancer-Safe Summer
A number of studies have found that red meat and processed meats — the hamburgers, steaks, and hotdogs of summer backyard barbeques — increase risk for colon and rectal cancer. Grilling those meats at high temperatures makes the risk even higher. Eating more fruits and vegetables can reduce the chances of getting cancer, and grilling them is safe. Grilling is an interesting new way to get the additional fruits and vegetables into your diet. Brush them lightly with olive or canola oil to prevent sticking.
Colorectal Cancer News in Brief: April 24
C3 Advocate Verna Cox was featured in the Philadelphia Daily News yesterday, and there's a link to her story as well as links to the winning entries in the Get Screened Video Contest. This week, we also report research showing that the elderly benefit from irinotecan chemotherapy treatments, a potential vaccine for travelers diarrhea, and no link between coffee drinking and colorectal cancer.
What's the Risk of Cancer after Polyps are Removed?
Five years after a colonoscopy found and removed polyps, one in ten patients will have a new advanced polyp and six in every thousand will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer. Pooling studies that followed up nearly 10,000 men and women who had a polyp removed during a colonoscopy (polypectomy), researchers found 1,082 with a later advanced adenoma and 58 with colorectal cancer. Median follow-up time was 47 months.

How to customize userform form display
26 June 2010 at 10:44am
I'm very new to Silverstripe and I'm trying to figure how to customize the form display for forms created using the userform module.
At first I though I'd be able to target elements using CSS but unfortunately, userform actually uses standard tags in the html output so that if I change "left" I change all form fields in silverstripe, i.e. The admin login fields and whatever else uses it.
Here's the output:

My Form Field
<input type="text" class="text requiredField" id="Form_Form_EditableTextField21" name="EditableTextField21" value="" />

I want to target the  tag with CSS so I need to find a way to add custom IDs or classes to the form elements HTML out for each individual form but SS doesn't seem to provide an effective method for doing this.
What I did in the short term was add these tags around the Field name in the form builder Form Label It worked but the output shows in the delivered email so that solution won't work for long.
I've looked at the code and googled but haven't been able to figure out where I can customize the code to simply add something like id="myfield" to the output.
Can anyone offer some advice?
Thanks in advance

Hi Sagelike,
One thing you could do is create a UserDefinedForm.ss template (copy content from your Page.ss) and wrap the $Form variable in the template with an ID

Then you could target the UserForm form fields with #UserForm ... {}. I do like the idea of customizing classes on a per form and per form field basis so I have created a ticket for it http://open.silverstripe.org/ticket/5751.
Re: How to customize userform form display
5 July 2013 at 5:17pm
Normally when styling a SilverStripe form I pick up a tag already used by Silverstripe and apply a few .css rules.
But today my Userforms module refuses to play by those rules. Most of the form is looking right, but for some reason my checkboxes/radio buttons have a huge (like 260px huge) indent on the left hand side. I've isolated things down to the optionset tag but can't find any way to remove this space. Zeroing all margins and padding does nothing, neither does putting in a -260px margin. Frankly it shouldn't be so difficult and it has me spewing right now...
As you'll see form code snippet below, even something really silly like a -1200px margin changes nothing
Can anybody finish of Friday with a helpful suggestion? Thanks
---------------------------------------- */
ul.optionset {
overflow: hidden;
padding: 0px;
margin-left: -1200px;
width: 220px;
ul.optionset li {
margin: 6px 0;
clear: both;
ul.optionset li input {
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 6px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-left: 6px;
float: left;
ul.optionset li label {
margin: 0;
.optionset ul{
border: thin solid #0F0;
margin-left: -260px;

A bit difficult to guess the culprit as that part of the form probably inherits styles from outside the snippet. Can you give an URL to see the entire form?
Having both ul.optionset and .optionset ul in your CSS looks strange: you have nested ul's?
Re: How to customize userform form display
5 July 2013 at 7:17pm Last edited: 5 July 2013 7:17pm
No, no nested ULs, just threw that into the mix to see if it made a difference (it didn't but frustration can make one do strange things). Unfortunately site is in local development so can't post URL. However your answer has got me thinking -- I am aware of inherited styles (of course) -- but I thought that applying a new rule to a particular style took care of that -- although I can see a place now where this may not have happened... Will investigate further...
Re: How to customize userform form display
5 July 2013 at 7:29pm
Flo Apps, you were right -- a UL style back at 'content' level was causing the problem. Guess I was dazed from banging my head on the screen... sometimes it takes a fresh perspective (and dinner always helps as well)! Cheers!

Good to hear you got this solved. Probably you're familiar with Firefox's Firebug and Chrome's Developer Tools, but they're indispensable in tracing the styles that apply to a chosen element. By clicking Inspect Element you immediately see what CSS rules apply.

It could be that my bachelor's degree, non-profit job and home in the heart of the Midwest have turned me into an elitist, but I think Sen. Obama is right:
So, it depends on where you are, but I think it's fair to say that the places where we are going to have to do the most work are the places where people feel most cynical about government. The people are mis-appre...I think they're misunderstanding why the demographics in our, in this contest have broken out as they are. Because everybody just ascribes it to 'white working-class don't wanna work -- don't wanna vote for the black guy.' That's...there were intimations of that in an article in the Sunday New York Times today - kind of implies that it's sort of a race thing.Recent years have not been kind to the middle and working class. For eight years, these groups have been crushed under the weight of the Bush administration's failed economic policies. And the despair started much earlier for folks in those Pennsylvania industrial towns. Like the people in the steel town where I grew up, they saw prosperity leave in the Reagan years, never to return.
Here's how it is: in a lot of these communities in big industrial states like Ohio and Pennsylvania, people have been beaten down so long, and they feel so betrayed by government, and when they hear a pitch that is premised on not being cynical about government, then a part of them just doesn't buy it. And when it's delivered by -- it's true that when it's delivered by a 46-year-old black man named Barack Obama (laugher), then that adds another layer of skepticism (laughter).
But -- so the questions you're most likely to get about me, 'Well, what is this guy going to do for me? What's the concrete thing?' What they wanna hear is -- so, we'll give you talking points about what we're proposing -- close tax loopholes, roll back,
you know, the tax cuts for the top 1 percent. Obama's gonna give tax breaks to middle-class folks and we're gonna provide health care for every American. So we'll go down a series of talking points.
But the truth is, is that, our challenge is to get people persuaded that we can make progress when there's not evidence of that in their daily lives. You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and
they have not. So it's not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.
Um, now these are in some communities, you know. I think what you'll find is, is that people of every background -- there are gonna be a mix of people, you can go in the toughest neighborhoods, you know working-class lunch-pail folks, you'll find Obama enthusiasts. And you can go into places where you think I'd be very strong and people will just be skeptical. The important thing is that you show up and you're doing what you're doing.
- Barack Obama at an April 6 fund-raiser in San Francisco
When people have their way of life threatened, they become the most tribal, the most cynical, the most religious, the most xenophobic, the most fearful, the most concerned with protecting what is theirs. It's not pretty, but it IS. This does not mean that guns, God and patriotism are not valid parts of our culture, just that in certain times they achieve greater significance.
A lot of people ARE bitter about the state of our country. Hell, I am bitter about the state of our country and, I think, justifiably so.
In 2004's "What's the Matter with Kansas," Thomas Frank explained "an upside-down world where blue-collar patriots recite the Pledge while they strangle their life chances; where small farmers cast their votes for a Wall Street order that will eventually push them off their land; and where a group of frat boys, lawyers and CEOs has managed to convince the country that it speaks on behalf of the People."
Obama's comment last week sounded like a passage from Frank's New York Times bestseller, which was hailed in liberal circles and even by George Will of all people. Now folks are acting as if the idea of a fearful class, disenfranchised and closing ranks, is some demeaning fantasy of the Obama campaign. Ever the opportunist, Hillary "Annie Oakley" Clinton jumped at the chance to curry favor with Pennsylvania voters:
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton activated her entire campaign apparatus to portray Mr. Obama's remarks as reflective of an elitist view of faith and community. His comments, she said, were "not reflective of the values and beliefs of Americans."And this morning, on Meet the Press, that weevil James Carville was carrying on about his love of the Lord and a nice 12-guage so much that I thought for a moment that I had mistakenly turned to Fox News.
Mrs. Clinton suggested that Mr. Obama saw religious commitment, hunting and concern about immigration as emotional responses to economic strain rather than as deeply embedded values. "I grew up in a church-going family, a family that believed in the importance of living out and expressing our faith," she said at a rally in Indianapolis. "The people of faith I know don't 'cling to' religion because they're bitter. People embrace faith not because they are materially poor, but because they are spiritually rich."
Later in the day, in Valparaiso, Ind., she reminisced about her father teaching her how to shoot when she was a young girl.
Although she has been a strong supporter of gun control in the past, urging Congress to "buck the gun lobby" as first lady, Mrs. Clinton said, "Americans who believe in the Second Amendment believe it's a constitutional right; Americans who believe in God believe it's a matter of personal faith." (SOURCE)
The Republican Party has a knack for preying upon a nervous electorate. They have made great inroads with "common men and women" in recent years by pretending to be one of them and capitalizing on exclusionary religion, xenophobia, and fears surrounding safety and race. By leveraging fear, they have convinced many people to vote against their best interests.
So nice to see Democrats like Clinton and Carville using Republican tactics to bludgeon other Democrats, trotting out the not-Christian-enough, too-elitist, not-like-us charges. The greatest offense is that I think that Hillary Clinton, James Carville and a host of other Democrats agree with what Barack Obama said. His comments revealed a sociological truth that can be easily proven. But in this presidential contest of Dem vs. Dem, It is better to co-opt Republican talking points and win, than stick to liberal principles and unify. Proof again that Hillary Clinton represents politics as usual.
CHECK OUT: Bitter Voters for Obama (Hat tip to Jack and Jill Politics)
UPDATE: Just priceless...Bill Clinton in 1991, while running for president:
"The reason (George H. W. Bush's tactic) works so well now is that you have all these economically insecure white people who are scared to death," Clinton was quoted saying by the Los Angeles Times in September 1991. SOURCE
UPDATE: dnA breaks it down at Jack and Jill Politics:
But this is how white folks "keep it real," by demanding that Rhodes Scholars tell folksy stories to hide their intellect, by rewarding New England blue bloods for wearing cowboy hats and talking in affected southern accents, by punishing C students as elite because they ordered Swiss on a cheesesteak. Prioritizing cultural norms at the expense of a substantive debate is no less a hustle for Clinton and McCain than it was for Marion Barry.
If there's a lesson working class white folks can learn from the black community, it's that these people are hustlers, and just because they look, talk, or act like you, doesn't mean they will do a thing for you.
It bears mentioning that any sociologist or historian will tell you Obama is factually correct. There is a reason the Ku Klux Klan's rise and rebirth occurred during the two most economically depressed moments in the history of the American South, Reconstruction and the Great Depression. There is a reason radical Islam appeals to the destitute, and there is a reason Louis Farrakhan and Chuck Colson find so many converts in prison. (SOURCE)

When people think of PLU, most would think that we are small and we are all Lutherans or at least Christians. However, that is not true. Being small gives PLU students an opportunity to get to know one another better through classes, events or just simply living in the same residential hall. It really gives you "the college experience". About the second myth about religion, although we are a Lutheran school, we don't force anyone to do anything against their beliefs. PLU has Chapel hours on Monday, Wednesday and Friday for those who are interested. For those who are not Lutherans or Christians, they would have that time to study for the next class or just to talk to friends since there will be no class during those hours. I like that most about PLU because I can be who I want to be. I don't have to "alter" myself for anything.
Admission Intern. Beside doing office work such as entering data, organize files and campus tours, I also plan for campus events and attend events at other community colleges around the area.
Don't bring your Xbox or PS3. PLU provides all the opportunity for you to have the college experience, but you need to go out and experience it for yourself. It is not all about what you learn in your class, but it's also about what you learn from other people, and being involved is the best way to make some new friends, to learn from others, or to simply have fun.

ALBANY -- Young, experienced and courtroom tested, three assistant district attorneys eagerly took on more responsibilities following announced promotions at a Thursday press conference.
Greg Edwards, district attorney for the Dougherty District Judicial Circuit, announced that Heather Lanier, 30, will assume the duties of chief assistant district attorney.
Matt Breedon, 30, adds to his workload as deputy chief assistant in Superior court cases. He will continue his work in prosecuting gang members.
Kim Westerly, 33, took on the mantle of chief assistant district attorney in the state court division. She will be responsible for all misdemeanor cases.
"I'm excited and I hope to do the position justice," Lanier said. "I've been left some big shoes to fill in that position."
Lanier will fill the position vacated in April by Chris Cohilas when he entered private practice. Cohilas began as an assistant district attorney in 2003 and became chief in 2008.
Besides performing the administrative duties of a chief assistant district attorney, Cohilas also prosecuted felony crimes against children, serious violent felonies and cases involving extended or complex litigation.
Lanier's case experience includes going after gang members as part of the Organized Crime Prosecution Unit that included Breedon and investigator Jason Armstrong. She helped put 50 gang members in jail.
The District Attorney's Office staff of 15 prosecuted more than 3,000 felonies and 19,000 misdemeanors last year, according to Edwards.

With the homicide rate on the rise, Fayetteville's mayoral candidates are taking similar stances on how to reduce crime.
Voters will choose a new mayor on Tuesday. Democratic City Councilor Val Applewhite and Republican Nat Robertson are running to replace four-term incumbent Tony Chavonne, who is not running for re-election.Twenty-five people have been killed on the streets of Fayetteville in the first 10 months of 2013. That's up from 22 killed in all of last year."We have to deal with the social issues. We cannot ignore that," Applewhite said.The Democrat pointed to a lack of jobs and a lack of community engagement for those higher crime numbers."People won't be out committing crime if they have an investment in the community and an opportunity to provide for themselves," she said. "We have to take ownership of our communities or neighborhoods, and look out for our neighbors."It's a sentiment her opponent shares."A lot of the crime issues could be around economic issues," Robertson said.Robertson said the city needs more jobs and both candidates agree that Fayetteville's new police chief, Harold Medlock, is the right man to turn things around. He's been on the job since February."Chief Medlock has put some programs in place, including the community policing, and some other things that he is doing -- pretty out of the box," Robertson said.Medlock said he's placed more officers in high crime areas.
Still, that did not stop the violence on Halloween night. Three separate shootings killed three people and wounded three more.Medlock expressed concern about the violence during a rally against violent crime on Sunday."Every night I go to bed worried about what's going to happen overnight," Medlock said. "I worry about the safety of our citizens."

Student Accounts - for tuition or billing cost questions
Prospective Students
The Office of Financial Aid is here to make sure you are financially prepared to pursue this endeavor as well. How you finance your legal education has major implications for your financial future and life after graduation. For many students, this means living a more modest lifestyle—saving money, paying off existing consumer debts, and/or commuting from home.
It is important to take the time to consider your total Cost of Attendance (COA) and your financing options before you begin law school. How much over this amount will you need to live? Rent, food, transportation, insurance, and other personal expenses should all be considered when you borrow financial aid for the year.
After you have calculated this amount, consider your non-loan options first--existing personal resources, scholarship funding, or financial support from family members. For most students, law school loans cannot be avoided. The key is to minimize this borrowing by taking only what you need from the financial aid package that is offered to you. The benefit in borrowing federal loans is the flexible repayment options available to help you manage your educational debt.
The following pages will guide you through applying for federal loans at Loyola Law School. Financial aid is available for up to the full cost of attendance established by the school. Institutional scholarships are awarded by the Office of Admissions. We have also listed a number of External Scholarship Opportunities for your consideration. It is also important to learn about the different types of loans available to you, and how to manage them while you are a law student as well as a graduate.
Please be sure to notify the Office of Financial Aid of any special circumstances or changes to your financial situation. We are here to help, so feel free to contact us with any questions or stop by our office.

Chris Young is on fire and that's not just because he's on the Miranda Lambert tour of the same name. Young's 2011 release Neon debuted at No. 4 and his last five singles have gone to No. 1 at country radio while "Tomorrow," "Voices," and "You" were certified Gold.
Just before hosting a recent online chat with hundreds of his fans, during which he debuted his video for "Neon," the multi-award winner took time to talk a bit about his music, radio requests, and just how fans show their enthusiasm for his music.
OS: This has been quite a year or so for you. Looking at everything, all the songs, all the awards, what has been the best thing so far?
CS: Well, when you are booking [concerts] a year out, that's really nice! I remember a time when we weren't even booking weeks out.
OS: How have things been going on Miranda's "On Fire" tour?
CY: We have been out with her since January and it has been unreal! She is a sweetheart and one of the best people to tour with. Everything is "what is mine is yours."
OS: So what does that allow you to do on stage?
CY: I love to mess with our intros and [the ends of songs] and do covers, and sometimes do a song in a show that is really broken down, have the drummer kick down the brushes and pull the acoustics out and kind of mess with some of our songs.

China Mieville
Adult Fiction MIEVILLE
Summary: FollowingPerdido Street StationandThe Scar, acclaimed author China Miéville returns with his hugely anticipated Del Rey hardcover debut. With a fresh and fantastical band of characters, he carries us back to the decadent squalor of New Crobuzon--this time, decades later. It is a time of wars and revolutions, conflict and intrigue. New Crobuzon is being ripped apart from without and within. War with the shadowy city-state of Tesh and rioting on the streets at home are pushing the teeming city to the brink. A mysterious masked figure spurs strange rebellion, while treachery and violence incubate in unexpected places. In desperation, a small group of renegades escapes from the city and crosses strange and alien continents in the search for a lost hope. In the blood and violence of New Crobuzon's most dangerous hour, there are whispers. It is the time of the iron council. . . . The bold originality that broke Miéville out as a new force of the genre is here once more inIron Council: the voluminous, lyrical novel that is destined to seal his reputation as perhaps the edgiest mythmaker of the day.

Stacy Coley, a 6-1, 180-pound freshman receiver out of Oakland Park Northeast High, continues to dominate in fall camp. During Friday's final fall scrimmage, Coley caught two touchdowns from backup quarterback Ryan Williams. And in Sunday's practice report from UM, he was noted for catching three touchdown passes from starter Stephen Morris during the full-pads morning session.
"On the third touchdown," the report said, "freshman linebacker Alex Figueroa tipped Morris' pass, but Coley caught the deflection in stride for the score."
Williams told reporters Sunday that the scrimmage touchdowns "weren't very hard throws. He probably did most of the work. One of them was 30 or 40 yards and the other was 10."
Added Williams: "It's just good that he's finally picking up the offense and knowing where he's supposed to be and not having to rely on the quarterback to tell him what he has every play. He's been studying so hard that he can go out there and play as fast as he can and just make plays."
• Defensive coordinator Mark D'Onofrio said the Canes made "significant improvement" in their tackling during the second scrimmage, and "improved on run defense, red zone and third down."
• In injury news, junior defensive lineman David Perry and freshman offensive lineman Alex Gall wore yellow noncontact jerseys.

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD Review: A timeless classic reborn
It's hard to believe that it's been one decade since The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker first landed on the GameCube. It isn't because of that old cliché about how time goes by ever so swiftly, though. It's because this lovingly crafted adventure is still as amazing today as it was back when it first set sail in 2003. Nintendo has made a few fitting adjustments in... Read More

There's been lots of development in the world of non-dairy milk in the last couple years. We used to just have soy milk then rice milk showed up on the scene followed by almond milk. Lately coconut milk and hemp milk have arrived on market shelves. I've been using soy milk religiously ever since I switched from dairy milk back in ye olden days and loved it so much I never really felt the need to move away from it. Non-dairy milk is such an important staple in vegan baking that recently I felt it would be beneficial to the world of vegan baking to sit down and take a really close look at what I consider to be the five most popular non-dairy milk types. I wanted to see how they measure up against each other from a vegan baking perspective. How do they taste? How creamy are they? Do they curdle when exposed to apple cider vinegar? Will my recommended non-dairy milk for vegan baking, soy milk, retain it's vegan baking crown or will another non-dairy milk prevail? Read on to see what I found.
The art of bread baking relies on mastering several techniques at the same time. These techniques are crucial to baking bread that has both a good texture and flavor. In order to help us understand this we need to realize that one of these techniques; the baking, consists of three things: The caramelizing of the sugars, the roasting of the proteins and the gelatinization of the starches all contained within the flour. Temperature, oven placement and baking time have everything to do with how much these effects occur in our bread and it vastly effects the outcome. Bread baked too much will have a dry, burnt feel as the proteins, starches and sugars burn. Bread baked too little will lack flavor due to the proteins not being roasted enough and the sugars not being caramelized sufficiently. It can also inhibit a yeasty, grainy flavor due to the alcohol from the yeast not being cooked off and the starch crystals not getting gelatinized enough.

Hazelnuts, also known as filberts usually work best in a recipe when their skins are removed. This is because the skins are bitter and they can alter the look of the final product based on their dark color. There are two ways to skin hazelnuts: the old way and the new way. The old way involves toasting the hazelnuts, wrapping them in a towel and rubbing the skins off. This method doesn't really remove all of the skins, most of which get embedded into the towel. Nice hazelnut towel you've got there. Now for the new method.
Many ingredients such as nuts, shredded coconut, coconut flour and other flours can take advantage of toasting which usually contributes a noticeably complex nutty flavor. This is because toasting creates a myriad of flavor compounds in what is known as the Maillard reaction. One of the difficulties in baking with coconut is that its subtle flavor sometimes doesn't come through as much as I'd like. Toasting coconut can be a great way to add more complexity and depth of flavor to all sorts of coconut based recipes.
You may not think that a cookie sheet is a big deal in the kitchen. All you need is a flat preferably metallic surface in which to place items to be baked right? You can pry those thin, corroded, cookie sheets that are permanently stained from a baking disaster in 1972 from my cold, dead fingers right? Wrong. Recently I realized how grateful I was that I finally found the ultimate solution to baking things like cookies, flatbreads, crackers and breads. Read on to see why I'm all about these Vollrath Cookie Sheets.
I'm normally not very passionate about vegan cheese. There, I said it. Most of them tend to be flavorless space-age putties that often might do better filling cracks in drywall then being featured on top of my pizza or pasta. I normally don't get embarassed by my vegan food choices but when an omnivorous friend stops by and I'm noshing on vegan cheese, I've sometimes gotten that embarrased been-caught-making-out-with-a-mannaquin feeling. I hate it when that happens.
Recently my friend Dawne discovered a new vegan cheese that she couldn't stop raving about. I trust Dawne's opinions on food so going with her enthusiasm and embracing my desire to be an open minded eater I was naturally intrigued. She quickly procured a little cheese and wine party get together with a few other open minded, passionate eaters so we could see what this newly discovered vegan cheese was about. What I found drastically changed the way I feel about vegan cheese.

I don't use an electric mixer very often because I usually whisk my cake batters, mix my doughs with a spoon and knead my bread doughs by hand. I appreciate the manual method because it allows me to really feel what my dough's doing and get a good idea of how thick it is. Could this possibly be the baking equivalent of a cyclist riding a fixed gear or driving a stick instead of an automatic? Having a good feel of where your dough is going is all fine and good but there are other times when an electric mixer can really come in handy and is actually essential in your kitchen, such as when you really want to make sure the fats and water-based liquids in your dough are mixed well before adding flour. Read on to see how the Viking 5-Speed Mixer stacks up.
I have an obsession with sprouting grains and legumes. I think it's related to my obsession of inviting nature take its sweet time to process your raw ingredients in it's own special way. Sprouting instead of cooking has many advantages if you have the roughly three days to spare. Supplanting puréed sprouted grains for some or all of your flour is also a great way to make hearty breads.
So now that you're making your own bread, or at least enjoying your favorite tasty bread to the fullest, how do you store it so it's as good as possible for as long as possible? I've seen it all in bread storage schemes. Bread stored in paper bags, in the freezer, in the refrigerator; I remember a friend who's Mom stored even it in the microwave oven, using it as a makeshift bread box. The question of how to best store bread is difficult to answer. This is because it depends on what your goal is: Are you planning on keeping high quality bread as fresh as possible for a few days so it can be used for the next chowdown with minimal staling? Are you just trying to squeeze maximum longevity of your sandwich bread to it can be used up before it starts to mold?

Having a wild yeast starter (also known as a sourdough starter) in your possession can lead to a whole new wold of fascinating flavors and food experiences. Everything from breads, pancakes, quick breads to pizza crusts can be made with wild yeasted dough, which has no need for commercial bread yeasts. Think of it as your magic little dough friend that's actually alive, waiting to morph into and enhance whatever you introduce it to.
I like to advocate most things in moderation, which obviously includes vegan baked goods. Sweets are in no way, shape or form a part of a healthy diet. Even if you take the sugar completely out of baked goods, the refined flour alone will probably spike your blood sugar to unhealthy levels. That said, sweets sure are fun to eat every once in awhile aren't they? I believe there are certain food products that don't apply to the everything in moderation mantra and they should be avoided as much as possible. These unhealthy food products can usually easily be substituted by other products that are less detrimental to health, with virtually no reduction in the quality of the baked item. If we can do this, then why the heck not? What food products am I talking about? Partially hydrogenated oils and high fructose corn syrup come to mind. Recently there has been talk of a new food product that might need to be added to this list: agave syrup.
The concept of reading words and numbers and using them to direct you to make something to eat is a strange thing. This simple list of directions is often the only companion you have in your quest to replicate what the original baker created. It's a good thing she meticulously listed all of the ingredients, their measures and thoroughly described all of the steps in an easy to follow manner. Or did she? If we were to go back in time a little over a hundred years or earlier, we would need a large heaping spoonful of luck for many of our recipes to turn out as they were intended. Luckily, recipe writing has evolved. Read on to find out how to write a recipe so it's interpreted in a clear, fun and informative way.
Your baked items are only as good as your ingredients. I'm unaware of a single case where this isn't true. It's one of the reasons I stopped using tofu in my recipes years ago, although there are certain rare occasions where it shines. Plain yogurt provides a great way to add complex flavor and introduce mild binding properties to your recipe. It's not going to bind as much as an egg, but in things like cakes, pancakes and muffins you don't need powerful egg replacers anyway. Read on for my review of the top four plain vegan yogurts currently on the US market.
With the holidays rapidly approaching and funds dwindling about as fast, you might be wondering how in samhain you're going to pull out all the stops and deliver a memorable gift this year. Or you may be dreaming up ideas on getting yourself into a chocolate induced coma so you can cope with the stresses of life. Either way, now is the time to take matters into your own hands, put on your DIY hat and make a box of chocolates.
Like most things that are a little time consuming, the rewards of doing this are pretty big. I mean, the probability of having extra chocolates on hand is extremely high. I repeat: You're going to have tons of awesome chocolates after you do this! So what are you waiting for?

Sometimes when working with things like chocolate, custards and fondant it's important to have slow, even, consistent heating. This ensures that your ingredients don't become too hot too fast or too much, which can cause them to break down and have their flavor negatively impacted. Other times you might want to work with something like melted chocolate for an extended period of time and not worry about constantly adjusting the heat to ensure that it's evenly melted. This is where a double boiler comes to the rescue. It's like cruise control for your heat!
A double boiler is a specific piece of cookware consisting of two fitted pots. The bottom pot is filled with 1 to 3 inches of water and the top pot fits above it and holds the ingredient that you're heating.

I see this as the optimal setup, that way people can't go screwing up their setups and modding anything would be completely plug-in rather than modifying the applications itself.

HAMDEN, Conn. - Senior defender Pierre Soubrier's (Aurignac, France) free-kick goal in the 93rd minute of play propelled Quinnipiac to a 4-3 overtime victory over Northeast Conference opponent Central Connecticut on Friday afternoon. Quinnipiac improves its overall record to 4-11-1 and its NEC record to 3-6, while Central Connecticut falls to 4-10-3 overall and 1-6-3 in NEC play.
Soubrier capped off a terrific day, in which he figured in three goals (one goal, two assists), with a powerful blast on a free-kick that beat the Blue Devil's junior goalkeeper James Perkins. Quinnipiac's bench cleared to mob the senior captain, whose goal halted the Bobcats' three-game losing streak.Quinnipiac jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the ninth minute of play, as sophomore forward William Daniels (Bethany, Conn.) controlled a cross from Soubrier and knocked in his third goal of the season.

Pose of the hypocritical excuse-itarian: yoga IS veganism »
I was halfway through writing an article on yoga as it relates to veganism when this article appeared in my inbox, courtesy of the head honchos at Vegansaurus. Suffice to say it only fueled my agni (Sanskrit for "fire").
Sometime in the 1980s yoga took over the Western world. Suddenly everyone was in downward dog, from 20-something administrative assistants to hardcore fitness fanatics to stay-at-home moms to Wall Street suits. Yoga and its followers, myself included, have carried the practice into the 21st century and the culture continues to grow. I'm all for staying in shape, but what most folks overlook is that yoga is much, much more than a 60-minute workout. Yoga is upwards of 2,400 years old, and is deeply rooted into the spiritual world, leading true practitioners—or yogis/yoginis—to attain enlightenment.
Between 200 B.C. and 200 A.D., Patanjali, the "father of yoga," wrote the Yoga Sutras, also referred to as The Eight Limbs of Yoga. The sutras provide yoga with a thorough and consistent philosophical base, and is considered the foundational text of Yoga.
The Yoga Sutras are (in Sanskrit and English):
- Yama (restraints or ethical disciplines), consisting of Ahimsa (nonviolence), Satya (truth), Asteya (non-stealing), Brahmacharya (sexual responsibility), and Aparigraha (non-coveting/non-greed)
- Niyama (observances), consisting of Saucha (purity), Santosa (contentment), Tapas (austerity), Svadhyaya (study of self/holy scriptures), and Isvara-Pranidhana (devotion to God)
- Asana (physical postures)
- Pranayama (breath or life-force control)
- Pratyahara (sense-withdrawal)
- Dharana (concentration)
- Dhyana (meditation)
- Samadhi (contemplation).
Ahimsa, the first yama, means non-violence/non-harming, or more simply, peace and love. Essentially, the true yogi believes that to kill or destroy a being is to insult its creator. This is about as black-and-white as it gets: unless you are vegan, you support the idea that an animal's life is worthless and invalid in the face of our desire for its flesh and secretions. Breaking rule number one? Check.
At the Yoga Journal Conference in 2009, Dharma Mittra, a celebrated yoga teacher and director of the Dharma Yoga Center in New York City, stated, "It is a sin to eat animals. Why? Because the ability to put oneself in other's place is the path to enlightenment. When you eat meat, you make your stomach a graveyard." He added, "You must take compassion more seriously." Sounds clear to me, but after reading Briana Ronglin's article "Yogis Don't Have to Be Vegan, According to the Masters," it seems some people are sincerely confused about rule number one. Dancing around reality with very convenient information gathered from a panel of "Yoga masters that would make any devoted Yogi tremble with awe" from 2011's Yoga Journal Conference, Ronglin outwardly eschews the very foundation of yoga. What's worse, these "experts" only assist with their oblivious commentary. Ana Forest and Aadil Palkhivala both boldly venture into excuse-itarian territory, claiming that a vegan diet left them feeling "ill" and "sluggish," and complaining about weight gain. Ana actually confesses to "rearranging her beliefs to accommodate the needs of her body." Sounds to me like these two health-conscious "masters" didn't pay much attention to basic nutrition at all.
Another expert, Seane Corn, is vegan. However, she states that "living in judgement of other people's choices is absurd." In theory, I agree—except when said choices have far-reaching consequences for my planet and its other inhabitants, my future, my tax dollars, my health care, and so on. Everyone agrees, of course, that the most realistic solution must be to indulge in "non-factory farmed" meats, or just a "sliver" of chicken if it's "what you need to feel whole." Absurd, indeed. If it's acceptable to ignore the very first of the Yamas and eat another being's flesh and secretions, what does it matter how happy or well-fed that being was before slaughter? Declaring that a yogic diet is made up of "whatever works for you" is in blatant and arrogant disregard of yoga's most basic principles and foundations. Talk about bad Karma.

You know that idiot, Iowa state Rep. Annette Sweeney? She's trying to outlaw the filming of animal undercover investigations and it's the wack attack. And, oh look, she's the former executive director of the Iowa Angus Association. Quelle surprise! If I could throw up on one person today (and it's looking like it might happen, too much party-hardy for Laura), it would be that woman.
The video above is pretty amazing. In it, she talks about how undercover animal investigations are staged, right before pulling apart a display from opposing activists. OH THE IRONY. Even trying to backtrack she sounds like the idiot she is.
Unfortunately, the bill passed the Republican-dominated Iowa House, but its passage remains uncertain in the state's Democrat-controlled Senate. It could possibly be discussed in the Senate as early as today. If you're in Iowa (or can pass this on to people who live in Iowa! Along with this message: GET OUT. I joke! Looks like a great place.), please contact your state senator, and let them know that you strongly oppose the passage of S.J. 727.

Fur hair extensions: what's hot for privileged exploitative asshats! »
No, seriously. What will these wacky rich idiots think of next!? Since we're already devolving into a dystopian society, let's just say FUCK IT and eat dead baby gorillas and start using the backs of orphans as our main mode of transportation (eco-friendlier!). Actually, you know what, the eating gorillas and riding around on orphan backs makes MORE sense than these fucking hair extensions, because people need to eat and get places.
Even fur coats can have a use, but this is for absolutely no reason. It's like using meat to wipe your ass. These fur hair extensions are like two idiotic tastes that taste worse together. Kinda like putting those chrome balls on your hummer.
I especially love that the blogger calls it a "pain-free process." Really, bitch? Tell that to the chinchilla who was anally and vaginally electrocuted so you could wear tacky-ass cultural appropriation creepiness in your stringy hair. The only reason I regret writing this is that their TERRIBLE blog might get some hits today. SF Indie Fashion, go fuck yourself.
Updated 3/25/11:
Sonja from Rubio & Raven Salon, where the fur hair extensions were sold, wrote this on Yelp:
"I never expected this kind of response and cruelty to animals was honestly the furthest thing from my mind. My purpose was not to upset so many people and so, I will no longer be offering this service. Thank you for your passion and I hope that you will take down your review as I am now on your side. Thank you and sincerely, Sonja Ritchey"
This is rad! Yay, Sonja!

Does this article make me look like an asshole? »
Even though Chelsea Clinton's wedding wasn't as vegan as it was made out to be, it was vegan enough to prompt the New York Times to tackle the pressing social issue of vegetarian weddings; specifically, whether or not a vegan or vegetarian bride should serve meat at her wedding. Not to miss an opportunity to add their reasoned opinions to this important discourse, both Gawker (The Vegan Wedding Article the NYT Doesn't Want You to Read) and Jezebel (Is It Selfish to Throw a Vegan Wedding) followed suit. Oh goody—I can smell the bullshit from here.
First up, The Times. In what is the most reasonable article, The Times actually doesn't say much beyond giving a few examples of vegan/vegetarian (or half-vegan/-vegetarian) couples who have either had or not had meat at their weddings, and then thoughtfully relating the story of one poor soul forced to endure a vegetarian wedding back in 1999 (which he is still talking about—can we say first-world problems?). Thankfully, this mensch was able to sneak out and find a chicken parmesan sandwich mid-reception, so he didn't wither away and die. What a trooper! Unfortunately, the experience scarred him so much that he's still sore about it 11 years later. Isn't that just like vegans—forcing you to eat their stupid vegetables and then refusing to foot the bill when you have to spend the next decade dealing with your PTSD in therapy!
Next up, Gawker. Oh, Gawker. First they say vegans are a good lay because we're, um, "sinewy"? And then they say that the food "dilemmas" that inevitably occur when vegans get married are boring (and then write an article about them). A couple things come to mind: 1) Those dilemmas pretty much ONLY come from butt-hurt meat-eaters who can't handle eating a single veggie meal; 2) "Sinewy"? Yeah, I guess I don't expect much better from Gawker on the topic of veganism, but still. Couldn't they at least be snarky in a way that makes some sense? I'm the one who's supposed to have the B-12-deficient brain fog, amirite?
Finally, Jezebel. Jezebel thoughtfully posits whether or not having a vegan wedding is selfish. Hmmm. What a good question! Let me riddle you this, Jez: is it selfish to have a feminist wedding? I mean, why would you impose your kooky beliefs on your wedding guests who spent ALL this time showing up for the free food and booze? HOW INCONSIDERATE THAT YOU EXPECT THAT THE GUESTS AT THE WEDDING YOU'RE PAYING FOR TO RESPECT ONE OF YOUR DEEPEST-HELD BELIEFS! Jesus fucking Christ! So it's okay to ask/demand that folks refrain from imposing their gender-role fuckery on your wedding, but it's totally selfish and unrealistic to serve vegan food. Ooooo-kay.
Maybe I'm not the best person to be writing about this, as while I am married, I have little tolerance for weddings (mine was 10 minutes long at city hall; the bride wore Levi's). I don't really see why it's so hard for the vegans getting married to lay down the fucking law and tell people what's what in the same way all couples tell people what the dress code is or where to sit, and I don't see why it is apparently such an offense to ask a meat-eater to eat a single vegan meal. Are all meat-eaters such huge whiny babies, or just the ones who write/comment on the The Times, Gawker, and Jezebel? Do their moms still cut the crusts off their bread for them? What do they do when the vending machine is out of their favorite beef jerky? How the fuck do they survive when they are only able to function when every single thing in the universe is perfectly tailored to their preferences?
In the end, I know these kinds of articles are cheap comment/page-view grabs by blogs/publications that should be able to do better but usually don't bother to. I know that responding to these kind of cheap blood-pressure-raisers doesn't really do much except probably garner me a few more uptight comments (hi, commenters!), but whatever. Vegans, go forth and have vegan weddings. Fuck the haters, and make 'em eat broccoli. The New York Times will see them in 11 years for their story.

Direct quote from Sarah Palin's new book: "If any vegans came over for dinner, I could whip them up a salad, then explain my philosophy on being a carnivore: If God had not intended for us to eat animals, how come He made them out of meat?"
Hey everyone! Just in case you were wondering how Sarah Palin would behave in a hypothetical situation in which you were invited to her Wasilla meth mansion for a tasty meal, now you know. Also her book is going for NINE DOLLARS on Amazon right now. That is a discount of $19.99 off the list price. Not linking because, gross.

Perhaps knowing that if they create a direct Digg knock-off in the United States, some of the biggest names in tech, Microsoft and now Yahoo! are going international to launch their Digg-like sites. This week it is Yahoo's Minna No Topics launching in Japan.
Aside from the Anime characters in place of the yellow number of Diggs button to the left of the story titles, Minna No Topics bears one of the closest resemblances to the actual Digg of any of the legit (and I say legit because there are quite a few sketchy spamming sites out there that look exactly like Digg) knock-offs yet.
Last month Microsoft launched their own Digg-competitor, MSN Reporter, but again, only in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Norway. My feeling is that these launches abroad don't just signal the companies' fear of the so-called Digg Mob here in the U.S., but a race to spread a winning idea around the globe.
While Digg in no way owns the idea of voting on stories (just on "Digging" them), they have built their reputation on it and have become synonymous with the practice. While it might be one thing for a start-up in another country to try and create a Digg-like environment for that country to use, it's another when huge companies like Microsoft and Yahoo! use their almost unlimited resources to break into the market with a like-minded service.
Perhaps in the future, start-ups in this country should start considering international versions of their sites as an integral part of their launch. After all, while there are potentially 300 million users in the United States, there are some 5 and a half billion plus potential users out there in the rest of the world. Just securing a handful of those could mean huge windfalls for any company big or small.
Microsoft and Yahoo! clearly know this, and their doing their best to start securing those users. Get them early. Get them often.

Pulling the Plug on Phantom Power - 4 February 2009
Data centers and office buildings waste energy when their electronic devices are plugged in but are sitting in standby or no-load operation mode. Now there is a universal power adapter called Green Plug that can communicate with PCs, laptops, cell phones and other common devices to receognize how much power they need and shut off the power supply when charging is complete.
Greener World Media Contributor Sarah Fister Gale recently sat down with Green Plug founder Frank Paniagua to talk about how the device can reduce energy consumption, as well as e-waste by eliminating the unique power supply cords that come with each device. The company is working with manufacturers to incorporate its GreenPlug chip into the next generation of electronics products that will hit the shelves as early as next year.
