Fictional Game Busts Out in the Big City
Quidditch, the magical sport conjured by J.K. Rowling for the Harry Potter series, is brought to the real world this weekend smack in the heart of NYC. Featured in the HP novels, films, and video games, the sport was adapted for the real world in 2005 by Middlebury College student Xander Manshel. Since then, hundreds of teams have been founded, and are overseen by the International Quidditch Association.
This weekend, the IQA is holding its fourth annual World Cup in De Witt Clinton park in New York City. The event runs November 13-14th, and features 76 teams & 757 players. Stop by and see the game come to life!
Can I bring pet there? We will be witnessing to this event as we buy pacquiao vs marquez 4 tickets. How much will be the entrance fee?

The other day a friend and I were at a restaurant when we discovered a thick red streak of blood in our skate dish. It was strange because it was a thin part of the fish and didn't appear to be a case of undercooked fish, so we called over the waiter. He had no immediate answer, but took it to the kitchen and came back saying that it was a clot/coagulation that sometimes happens during the fishing process. He then asked if he could do anything for us but we already had more than enough food and wine so we said no.
That said, we were expecting some sort of hospitality gesture and were surprised to see that the skate was still on our bill at the end of the evening. My friend was so irritated that he wrote a slight note on the check about it that I don't think the server took very well!
So, who was right/wrong? Technically it wasn't a fault of the kitchen as the fish wasn't undercooked and I suppose they can't peer through every piece of every fish looking for blood clots. And, we were able to eat 90% of the dish. That said, it was kind of unseemly and definitely changed the tone of our meal for a bit, which is something that restaurants like this (where main courses like the skate are around $30) are supposed to pay attention to.
I suppose one answer is that we should have made our request when he asked if there was anything he could do. But somehow it seemed strange to make a 'demand/request', especially since we already had everything we needed. And requesting a reduction in the bill seemed tacky. So were we being too picky by expecting them to take the initiative?

Police are looking for a suspect who allegedly shot a 16-year-old boy near Grand and Peoria Avenues early Saturday morning.
Police say an armed suspect went into the boy's home and when the suspect pulled out a gun, the boy ran out of the house and tried to escape through the backyard.
The suspect allegedly shot the boy while he was trying to jump over a wall and into an alley near a Goodwill. The boy was taken to a hospital; his condition hasn't been released.
Police say the boy and the suspect know each other in some way. According to officers, the boy hasn't been cooperative with police.
A witness in the neighborhood saw the suspect get into a newer gold-colored pickup truck. The suspect allegedly shot at him too, but he wasn't harmed.
The suspect is described as a Hispanic male, 5'5" tall. He is still at large.

Religious Leaders Come Together in Faith to Value Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Equality at Task Force Creating Change
Largest LGBT and Allies Activist Conference Draws 2,500 Participants
Roberta Sklar, Director of Communications
ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, November 12, 2004 — Faith leaders and activists gathered Thursday for an unprecedented day of organizing to incorporate religion into the struggle for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender equality. They took part in the "Organizing With and Among Communities of Faith" pre-conference institute at the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force 17th Annual Creating Change Conference. The group of nearly thirty-five clergy and laity from across the United States included representatives of Jewish, Muslim, Christian, spiritual, and Unitarian/Universalist faith traditions. Through presentations and strategy sessions, the attendees expressed a desire to reclaim religious language for progressive causes. Ninety percent of those present were new to the Creating Change Conference, suggesting that many felt the need to transform personal faith into public action following the recent election.
Although speakers criticized the media and certain politicians for giving too much credit to conservative "values voters" for Republican successes in the 2004 elections, they also stressed that progressives must learn to use language of values and faith in order to appeal to a highly religious electorate.
"People of faith are angry that the anti-gay conservative right has co-opted the faith community and insisted on imposing their conservative values on the rest of the country," said Rea Carey, Deputy Executive Director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. "The faith leaders at the Creating Change conference, as well as the Task Force National Religious Leadership Roundtable, will not stand for their voices being drowned out. They are organizing to ensure that a wide range of values are allowed in this country, like teaching our children love and acceptance of the diversity of people in America."
"Every social justice movement in American history has been fueled by and led by religious people, for religious reasons," said speaker Reverend Jay Johnson, Programming and Development Director for the Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies in Religion and Ministry at the Pacific School of Religion. Dr. Johnson went on to cite religious motivations of figures involved in the American Revolution, the abolition movement, the women's suffrage movement, and the civil rights movement of the 1960's. Johnson stressed the need for progressives to address the faith of their fellow Americans "positively, not just critically." Johnson added, "We can't abandon the language of religion and values to the religious right."
Other speakers reported recent successful examples of mobilizing of religious forces for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) equality. Ted Jackson was field organizer for the "Yes on 3" ballot initiative, which overturned Cincinnati's city charter amendment twelve, the only law in the country that banned legal protection on the basis of sexual orientation. "There is no way we could have won in Cincinnati this year without a faith-based coalition," Jackson said. Jackson gave examples of Jewish congregations organizing four canvasses for the campaign, and Roman Catholic and evangelical leaders who came out in favor of the initiative because of the depth of relationships the activists formed with them. He stressed that educating clergy and faith communities made the campaign's broadcast advertising and direct mailings more effective. "The education campaign worked better because it was supported by fieldwork."
In addition to grassroots organizing, participants agreed on the need for a greater media presence from pro-gay religious voices. The Institute included discussions of developing contacts in the media and the formation of simple, clear messages to advocate for progressive issues in ways that appeal to American faith and values.
Other presenters at the Institute included Task Force Research Director Jason Cianciotto; Reverend Steven Baines from People for the American Way; and Roberta Sklar, Task Force Press Secretary. Dr. Johnson and Reverend Baines are members of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Religious Leaders Roundtable, an interfaith coalition of clergy working to change the public religious dialogue on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender issues.
All participants agreed on the necessity of appealing to Americans' sense of values in order to promote the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender citizens. "Religious communities are such a part of the fabric of America that to reach voters you have to reach out to their faith communities," Jackson said. "If someone makes a commitment to get up every Sunday morning to attend church, or to go to Shabbat every Friday night, or to pray five times a day, they're going to make a commitment to vote."
This year's conference follows the 2004 Presidential Election by eight days, as intensely watched an election as most of us will ever experience. LGBT equality leaders have gathered at the Creating Change conference to chart future resistance to four more years of the most anti-gay administration in history.
The conference runs Nov. 10-14, 2004. Still to come are the Skills Academy for Leadership and Training on Friday and Saturday; more than 120 workshop sessions and presentations, caucuses, film screenings, a keynote speech from Task Force Executive Director Matt Foreman and the closing plenary session on Sunday Nov. 14.
Creating Change is the nation's largest and most unique annual skills building and strategy conference of activist and organizers who work in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) movement. More information at http://www.creatingchange.org
The mission of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is to build the political power of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community from the ground up. We do this by training activists, organizing broad-based campaigns to defeat anti-LGBT referenda and advance pro-LGBT legislation, and by building the organizational capacity of our movement. Our Policy Institute, the movement's premier think tank, provides research and policy analysis to support the struggle for complete equality and to counter right-wing lies. As part of a broader social justice movement, we work to create a nation that respects the diversity of human expression and identity and creates opportunity for all. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., we also have offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis and Cambridge.

Radioactive Photoreactive Fatty Acid Analogues: Synthesis, Biological Utilization and Tools for the Study of Fatty Acid Transport
Date of Award
Degree Type
Degree Name
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Gerhard E. Gerber
The present study focused on the development, synthesis and investigation of the biological activity of a radioactive photoreactive homologous series of fatty acid analogues The carbene precursor m-diazirinophenol was chosen because of its known photolytic properties. In the course of its synthesis according to published procedures, it was found that chlorinated isomers were produced. The latter contributed in lowering the yield of the desired product. Addition of pyridine in the t-butyl hypochlorite oxidation step generated higher yields of the desired protected m-diazirinophenol, free of chlorine.
A synthesis of an homologous series of omega tritiated omega hydroxy fatty acids was developed based on the oxidation of commercially available olefins with catalytic amounts of OsO₄ in presence of NaIO₄ to produce the precursor semialdehydes. Reduction of the latter with [³H]NaBH₄ afforded the corresponding omega hydroxy fatty acids. Subsequently, the pure m-diazirinophenol was coupled to the omega hydroxy group to yield the corresponding radioactive photoreactive fatty acid analogues.
The photoreactive homologous series was found to be biologically active both in vitro and in vivo. Using rat liver microsomes it was possible to compare Michaelis-Menten constants with those observed for normal substrates for the production of acyl-CoA derivatives. Furthermore, these derivatives were converted to phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine when the corresponding lysophospholipids were present in the incubation mixture. In vivo investigations consisted of incubating L-cells, a fibroblastic cell line, in culture with the radioactive photoreactive fatty acid analogues. Analyses of the lipid fraction of these cells showed that these analogues were present mostly in phosphatidylcholine and in phosphatidylethanolamine. These phospholipids form the major components of L-cells membranes. The photolysis at 360 nm of cells grown in presence of these analogues resulted in the radioactive labelling of a large number of proteins presumed to be integral membrane proteins. In a collaborative effort, it was found that upon infection of these cells with vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), followed by isolation and photolysis of the virions, the viral membrane glycoprotein G was intensely labelled. Prior to photolysis it was demonstrated that radioactivity attached to the G protein corresponded to the non-photolyzed fatty acid.
Use of these fatty acids as photoaffinity fatty acid analogues, permitted the identification of an Escherichia coli 30 kD membrane protein with high affinity for [11-³H]11-diazirinophenoxyundecanoate. When the photolytically labelled 30 kD protein was boiled in SDS its polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis pattern shifted and it behaved as a 43 kD protein.
Finally, attempts were made to develop a fatty acid diffusion assay consisting of encapsulating BSA inside lipid vesicles as a trapping agent. Its potential suitability as a fatty acid transport reconstitution assay is discussed.

Women go into battle in Afghanistan
The Afghan army is breaking new ground. It's training female special forces to take part in night raids against insurgents. Night raids have long been a divisive issue between Afghan President Hamid Karzai, who doesn't want foreign troops entering Afghan homes, and the U.S.-led coalition that says the raids are essential to capturing Taliban commanders.

PRAIRIE du SAC, Wis (WSAU) For the second year in a row, a shortage of cow chips is raising concerns for the State Cow-Chip Throwing Contest at Prairie du Sac in Sauk County. Last year the drought forced cattle to stay near their barns and keep cool – and there was not enough manure that could be dried-and-flattened in time for the event. This year, a wet spring dissolved the manure.
Event chairwoman Marietta Reuter says she'll pull out three barrels of reserve chips, so the competition can go on this weekend – but sooner or later, they'll need a normal year to get some fresh manure.
The contest is part of a festival that will take place on Friday and Saturday in Prairie du Sac.

Publisher's Note: Learning Lessons From The Past
The Issue
Numerous factors always contribute to any increase in cotton acreage. That is certainly the scenario unfolding as producers begin making decisions on how much cotton to plant in 2010. Based on attractive futures prices for cotton and lower prices for corn, most experts are projecting a sizable increase for cotton acreage in the new season.

The majority parties in the Senate and Assembly have both proposed to eliminate the district of retiring Rep. Maurice Hinchey, but don't agree on where to cut a second seat.
Assembly Democrats and Senate Republicans will file separate plans today for carving the state into 27 congressional districts. The state will have two fewer congressional districts in 2013 than it currently has because its population is growing at a slower pace that other states.
Speaking to reporters after meeting with Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Silver said the Assembly's map will split up Hinchey's district, distributing his constituents to neighboring districts. The district currently stretches from the Southern Tier to the Hudson Valley, including the cities of Ithaca, Poughkeepsie and Binghamton.
Hinchey, a Democrat from Hurley, Ulster County, earlier this year announced his plan to retire at the end of his term.
"It's obvious the Hinchey district is one," Silver said. "We're not eliminating, but we obviously have to consolidate some districts."
Senate Republicans, meanwhile, will propose to eliminate the seats of Hinchey and Rep. Gary Ackerman, Senate GOP officials said. Ackerman is a Democrat whose district includes parts of Queens and Nassau County. (Hinchey's is the 22nd Congressional District in the map at left, which is of the current districts. Ackermans is the 5th Congressional District.)
The Senate GOP plan would keep 44 counties whole, according to the officials, who did not specify which counties were included.

EL PASO- March and April in the Borderland mean dusty days full of pollen and that can be a trigger for allergy and asthma issues.
Dr. Lyndon Mansfield, an allergy/ asthma/ immunology specialist, has a new tool for his patients. It's a breathing machine that measures airway inflammation and with just one breathe, a digital reading provides the doctor with information on how effective his treatments have been and if changes need to be made to bring relief to his patients.
It's an asthma test called FeNO or fractional exhaled nitric oxide. This breathing test cost just $25 and takes about ten seconds to perform. All a patient needs to do is take a deep breath. The device measures airway inflammation and offers the doctor a pathway for treatment.
As of April 1, 2013, Medicaid and Medicare are covering the cost as well as most other insurances.

Rachel Eakley's a busy girl. As a trained chef, psychology grad student, blogger, dog owner, and girlfriend to David Karp, the founder & CEO of Tumblr, she's got a lot to juggle.
She uses these steps for time management:
Make time.

Use all time as fully as possible.
Gregory Ciotti's scientific steps for maximum productivity:
1. Get Started.
Studies indicate that getting started is the biggest barrier to productivity. However, once we've begun a project, we're compelled to finish it. This is called The Zeigarnic Effect - when we don't finish a task, we experience discomfort and intrusive thoughts about it.
Work in "packets of energy" (recommended: 90 minutes) and then take a break (recommended: 20 minutes). Don't rely on willpower to work, rely on habit and disciplined scheduling.
3. Create an accountability schedule.
Write down what you intend to complete in your 90 minute work session before you start, so that you clearly understand what your goals are. For example: "9:00am - 10:30am: answer and file all necessary emails, then shut down email program until late afternoon to complete other work." Which leads us to…
Studies show that multi-taskers are much less productive than those who focus on one job at a time and work until that one job is completed.

LANSING (WKZO) -- Anne Readett with the Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning says police will be stepping up road patrols for the New Years' holiday.
Kalamazoo and Allegan are among 22 counties participating in the program, which is paid for by special federal grants. Last year, 14 people died in crashes over New Year's holiday weekend, five of which involved alcohol.

In the face of a potential political shift, many have asked when the veto was written for House Bill 4588, known as the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which passed by an overwhelming majority of the West Virginia Legislature.
At an April 1 West Virginians for Life press conference following Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's March 28 veto of the legislation, many of the measure's supporters gathered to point out the quick succession of events that led to the bill's passage since the February 11 discharge motion left many professed pro-life legislators providing explanations for their "no" votes to keep the bill from moving forward:
John Carey, West Virginians for Life legislative coordinator, said the organization expects a "groundswell of support leading up to the 2015 session."
"Furthermore, nothing the governor has done has changed the fact that there is a substantial body of scientific evidence that unborn babies from 20 weeks and older feel pain," Carey said.
National and statewide anti-abortion groups also plan to call for a federal version of the state bill Tomblin vetoed to be approved in the U.S. Senate, where it has more than 40 co-sponsors and has already been approved by the U.S. House of Representatives.
"We implore (U.S.) Sen. Joe Manchin to embrace his pro-life position and become the first Democratic senator to co-sponsor the federal Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act," said Mallory Quigley, communications director for Susan B. Anthony List. "Sen. Manchin has the opportunity to represent West Virginia and lead the nation where Gov. Tomblin has so shamefully failed."
Manchin said April 1 he has a pro-life record, but he would not introduce or sponsor the measure.
Margaret Chapman Pomponio, executive director of WV FREE, said in a news release House Bill 4588 would have taken away a woman's ability to make an "extremely personal and often heartbreaking reproductive health care decision."
"We believe that these decisions should be made by a woman in consultation with her physician, not by legislators," Pomponio said. "The governor made the right choice in vetoing this bill, and we are heartened by his decision to place his trust in the women of West Virginia and the medical community."

Learn more about new Vodafone Red Hot
What's Vodafone Red Hot?
Love smartphones, hate waiting? With Vodafone Red Hot you'll be on a 24 month plan - but you can get your hands on one of our hottest devices by upgrading 12 months early.
You get a huge allowance of minutes, texts and data - pick one of our 4G plans to take advantage of our new network. When you want to upgrade just bring your current phone back to your nearest store and we'll get you started.
Need to know more? See our FAQs
Bought your phone after September 2013? How to upgrade
How do I upgrade 12 months early?
To upgrade up to 12 months before the end of your plan, just call us on 150 or come into your nearest store. We'll need to take back your current phone and check it's in good condition - then pick any of the latest phones on our Red Hot plans.
What do we mean by 'good condition'?
- It's the same phone that came with your original price plan - this includes the make, model, colour, memory size.
- It must be in good condition and full working order - with no deep scratches to the screen or dents and chips to the casing.
- It's not registered as stolen or missing, and does not have any open insurance claims on it.
If you return a phone that is not in good condition and you have not made a claim on your insurance, you will be charged. The charge will depend on the extent of the damage to your phone.
What if you don't want to upgrade early?
That's fine. You won't have to give your phone back. Just pick a new plan when your contract ends.
Bought your phone before September 2013? How to upgrade
At the end of your contract, you can return your leased phone and start a Red Hot plan with a new phone.
What do you need to do?
Just visit your local retail store where one of our advisers can get you started with your upgrade.
What happens next?
A settlement letter will be requested for your hire agreement, then you'll hand back your current phone. Our advisers will send it away to have its condition checked by independent assessors. Once you've handed your phone back, and if you have no outstanding payments left on your agreement, you can upgrade to one of our new Red Hot plans and get a shiny new phone.
What if my phone's damaged?
If you're not insured or your claim isn't settled before you return it, you'll be charged for any damage before we swap your phone. We'll send you a letter and add any damage charges to your account – this should take about a week.
How much will you be charged for damage?
|What this means
|Grade A

The Good News on Media Stocks
Nate is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Let's get this out of the way up front: I'm a major Disney-phile. Not in a business sense--more in a 'I have two pre-teen girls who ask to go to Disney World every week' sense. Just one of the joys of living in South Carolina, where my kids know that we can drive to Disney World in less than 6 hours. Seriously, they've made that argument.
Still, just because I like Disny that way doesn't mean I don't like it as a business. I think very highly of The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS). It's a media company and, given my background in media, I think about how media is doing a lot. I'm critical of media firms when they do stupid things and I like to praise them when they're on top of their game. Heck, I probably think about it too much.
Disney's not the only media giant out there, of course. There are several others, all of whom you should be observing closely if you want to see some profits. While some are good, others have more questionable futures. How you read them will determine how your portfolio will do.
It's been easy to be dismissive of the Mouse. A great many unsophisticated investors just lump them in with their kid's movies and don't take them seriously. Let me make this plain: Disney is a great, well-run firm that has a long-term plan and is executing on it. The firm's movie business has been bolstered by the acquisition of Marvel Comics in 2009. Three years later The Avengers pulled in more than $1 billion dollars. Last year they bought Star Wars. In three years what will that equal? They also got the Indiana Jones franchise in that, too. Combine that sort of media property with the ability to leverage the theme parks and the marketing of toys games and licensed items? The sky is now the limit, and we might see Disney become the preeminent media empire in the world. The company's share price has reflected growing confidence. With a 1.38% dividend, the shares have grown from $40.46 to $54.29 in a year, and its P/E is still a bit high at 17.36. Watch for Disney to go on at least a three year run to the upside.
News Corp (NASDAQ: NWS)
More known for its controversial Fox New cable channel and chair Rupert Murdoch, News Corp is actually a fairly subtle enterprise. A combination of television, print, movies and other media, News Corp has a lot of different pieces that can make things happen in diverse ways. The company is preparing for a split of its publishing arms and its film and television business. Ostensibly a reaction to scandals last year that threw dirt at the print arm, I think the move was likely thought about for a while beforehand. Shares in News Corps were flat the first half of 2012 until June when it started a run that saw it grow about 60% in eight months. There's still some growth there as things move towards the separation of the two units into different firms.
Time Warner (NYSE: TWX)
Time Warner is very well known, or should be; it owns cable and broadcast networks, movie studios, and magazines. While I'm writing this ahead of earnings, an earnings preview anticipates growth in both earnings and revenue for the fourth quarter. While the movie business may be flat, the improving economy is treating TWX well in increased cable and ad revenues. Nonetheless, of the companies that I'm discussing here, Time Warner is the one I'd be most cautious about. There's a lot to like there, but I'm not certain the firm knows how to properly exploit it right now. From the numbers things look good. The stock is up about 30% over the last year, the dividend yield is above 2%, and the P/E is good but not crazy. But your money could be better invested in one of the other companies in this article.
Investing in media can be enough to make one buy antacid by the barrel, I know. I worked in it long enough to rub my head in dismay at times. Still, a well run, large media empire can leverage its properties like no other. The ability to use a company's networks and communications to promote other divisions is enormous and it's something no other sector has. Just choose companies that aren't too vulnerable to the swings of the buying public. And be cautious around any that have a significant print news group. That's something that's still sorting itself out.
Good luck!

What's in Store
for 2013
Ben Goldhirsh with Tom Zara
Ben Goldhirsh believes that living a prosperous life means more than just making a little money. In 2006, at the age of 26, he founded GOOD, a magazine and multi-platform media company with a mission to engage people, businesses, and organizations "who give a damn." He talked to our Guest Editor, Tom Zara, about the value of doing business so it works for everyone.
Ben Goldhirsh on the value of doing good
My whole life was about respecting the value that business brings to the world and the value of the people that participate in the business. For me, it was always that business is inherently good.
Ben Goldhirsh on the opportunity to do good
When I graduated from school, my friends and I thought that there was this opportunity to do well and do good—you don't have to sacrifice one for the other—and we wanted to build a platform to support this emerging sensibility, for people who are trying to live a valuable and engaged life.
Ben Goldhirsh on measuring corporate citizenship
Measuring social return on investment is complex, and there are a lot of variables to take into account. Ideally, if your product has attributes that are positive, you can align the bottom line with the impact… So it is nice when you have a product that actually yields a benefit when consumed. If corporate citizenship isn't tied to a product itself, then it has to be tied to the authentic root of the business.
Ben Goldhirsh on the citizenship path ahead
The fact that some people haven't figured it out yet or have been flippant or casual, that doesn't bother me at all. We're going through a fascinating market time right now. This is a time for innovation. Maybe things will be steady at some point, but rapid experimentation is extremely fun and smart.

Digital Advantage Improves Access To Works of W.E.B. DuBois
For the first time, broadband and digital technology will bring students and teachers across the country and the world access to the thoughts and writings of W.E.B. DuBois, one of the most influential African Americans in U.S. history.
The Verizon Foundation is providing a $200,000 grant to the DuBois Library at the University of Massachusetts Amherst to enable digitization of 100,000 original diaries, letters, photographs and other materials. Once the materials are scanned and catalogued, the university will identify documents to make available to visitors to Thinkfinity.org.
"The Verizon Foundation invests in programs that use technology to enrich the academic experience and help prepare students for success in the 21st century," said Donna Cupelo, Verizon's New England region president. "We are pleased to support the university's effort to make the DuBois papers available to a wider audience."
From his birth in Great Barrington, Mass., in 1868 to his death in Ghana in 1963, DuBois witnessed or took part in many historical events. He was a journalist, social analyst, activist and founder of the NAACP. Widely recognized as one of the top three collections for studying African American history, the 100,000 letters, photographs, manuscripts and memorabilia offer insight into a wide range of social and historical movements.
The UMass announcement of this important two-year project received widespread coverage by the media. More than 200 articles and broadcasts included stories in the New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Philadelphia Inquirer, Boston Globe, Las Vegas Sun and on National Public Radio, WBZ, WBUR, WFCR and Channel 22.
As a part of the grant, the University of Massachusetts will partner with Verizon's Thinkfinity.org to create grade appropriate learning guides on DuBois' work.

Bradley Corp. announces its collaboration with the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's School of Architecture and Urban Planning (SARUP) to launch a Sponsored Studio featuring the company's commercial restroom products during the Fall semester. While UWM SARUP is considered one of the top 20 architecture schools in the U.S., Bradley is known for its industry leadership in designing and manufacturing innovative commercial plumbing fixtures, washroom accessories and partitions, emergency fixtures and solid plastic lockers for the past 90 years.
The topic of the Bradley Studio is "Intelligent Skins for Intelligent Buildings," which utilizes students' design, research and analysis to influence the appearance and performance of a structure's "skin" to create an intelligent building of the future. The studio is taught by Gregory D. Thomson, assistant professor and co-director of the Institute for Ecological Design at UWM.
The Bradley Studio will incorporate the use of the company's commercial restroom products, ranging from lavatory systems made with sustainable materials to capacitive faucets to restroom partitions made with pre- and post-consumer recycled materials. Throughout the Studio, Bradley employees will collaborate with students, giving hands-on instruction on the company's products and technologies.
Thomson says the students will begin the Studio by dissecting the elements of building design – from the tangible aspects of a building to the intangible realities of the human interface with buildings. These will be a basis for analysis and inspiration for developing a wide range of applications to apply in a real-life building design.
A review of the students' final work will be presented after the semester ends in December.

Britney Spears is gearing up for her residency in Las Vegas, which begins at the end of this month, and she's now thinking about putting down semi-permanent roots in Sin City.
According to the Las Vegas Sun , on her way home to L.A. after her big arrival ceremony at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino earlier this week, Britney spoke about getting a home in Vegas. "I have to figure out where to stay for two years, maybe longer. I'd bring the kids to live in Vegas, too. I love it there," the paper quotes her as saying.
The question is, how long will she remain in Vegas? She told the TV show Extra that once her residency ends, she may hang up her microphone and dance shoes.
"I might [retire], who knows," she said. "I may have two more kids and get married… I'd like to have more kids."
While Britney is currently involved with boyfriend David Lucado , with whom she has previously said she's discussed expanding her family, she also told Extra that she hasn't seen her famous ex, Justin Timberlake , "in ten years."
Britney's pal Miley Cyrus , though, seems to be a big admirer of Britney and Justin's former relationship. She recently tweeted the famous photo of them dressed in those tragically matching denim outfits years ago at the MTV Video Music Awards, and captioned it, "I want a boyfriend that will wear jean on jean on jean with me."

RTX Sunday Video: Turnpike Troubadours 'Gin, Smoke, Lies'
They released their debut album, "Bossier City" in 2007. By 2012, with their third album "Goodbye Normal Street" in tow, the Turnpike Troubadours established themselves as a premiere band in the Texas/Red Dirt scene. For proof look no further than that "Goodbye Normal Street" was the No. 1 selling album of the year at Lone Star Music.
Listen to your favorite Texas and Red Dirt artists and bands nonstop right now
Their feat was aided by a few monster radio singles. This week one of them "Gin, Smoke Lies" lands the RTX Sunday Video. And while it's not quite as sexy, they also landed my Top 10 Totally Awesome Songs of 2012, with "Good Lord Lorrie."

Oneida's Dust Deputy Brings Cyclone Efficiency to Your Shop Vac!

3 Responses to "Oneida's Dust Deputy Brings Cyclone Efficiency to Your Shop Vac!"
Best product I have seen! And at a reasonable price too! As soon as it hits the catalogs, I will buy one and demo it for all my woodworking and woodturning club members!
Do you intent to distribute your Oneida Cyclones in Europe ?
As a belgian professional woodworker, I am interested in buying a cyclone dust extractor.
Looks great! I'm tired of throwing away money on shop vac filters, or worse yet a new shop vac when a motor dies to excessive dust that gets past the filter. Please tell me where I can purchase one or the kits. Thanks!

you can and cannot do - provided by USA Triathlon (yes these are the rules only for the triathlon).
1. Most
commonly violated rules
2. Rules
Race Etiquette:
- Observe all race rules at all times.
- Don't use a radio headset during the bike or
- Don't place your bike and equipment on top of
someone else's in the transition area. Respect
the athlete's space and equipment.
- If you are a slower rider stay on the right side except
when passing. Keep a straight line when riding. Only
discard your water bottles and trash at an aid station.
If you have to discard a bottle, make sure your throw
it away from the other athletes.
- There is no littering on the race course.
- If you have mechanical problems, pull off the course
on the right. Always let the rider ahead know you are
passing on the left. And above all obey all safety rules
on the course.
- Keep your pets at home if you are racing. Do you really
need another distraction?
- The swim is always tough, but I've seen athletes
actually push and crowd others away from their start
positions. Don't grab, push or pull others during
the swim. It's not combat swimming!
- During the run keep to the right except to pass. When
you do pass someone or see them at the turnaround offer
a word of encouragement.
- Be careful at the aid stations. This is usually the
area where most of the items like gel packs and bottles
are dropped and the pavement can be extremely slick.
There is plenty to drink for everyone. Give each other
room to drink and go.
After the race:
- When you cross the finish line, don't be dramatic.
You did a good job by finishing, now remove your chip
or number, get a drink and move away from the finish
chute without a lot of drama!
- Treat the finish line workers with respect. Your day
is over they still have a lot to do.
- After you recover a bit, cheer on the other competitors
and talk with the athletes. Pat all the youth on the
back and offer words of encouragement when they finish!
- If you stick around for the awards then wait until
all the awards are given out. I know it is tough at
times but support the other competitors till the end.
- Good or bad race - "Be your own HERO!"
after the race. Smile, hold your head high and take
pride inside. You stepped up to the start line and you
did it, you put yourself in the heat of competition
and you finished even if the only person you were competing
with was yourself!
Check out www.usatriathlon.org for more info
Relay Team Rules:
All rules applying to individual competitors apply to relay competitors except where such rules conflict with specific relay rules.
- Relay teams must be composed of three athletes - one swimmer, one cyclist and one runner. Team members can be either the same gender or any combination of male/female. The minimum age of a participant is 16 years old.
- The relay team 'chip transfer' area must be within the marked Relay Team Area in the transition area. There will be a Relay Team Referee overseeing the 'chip transfer' of each team member. If a 'chip transfer' happens outside of the Relay Team Area, the team will not be included in the official results.
- Any relay team interfering with an individual competitor or any way placing an individual competitor at a competitive disadvantage will be disqualified.
- Relay runners will start in the relay team wave (see schedule above).
- All relay bikes must be placed in the designated bike racks in the Transition Area. Team bikes must not be removed from the designated bike rack until AFTER the timing chip has been passed onto the team cyclist.
- After receiving the timing chip the cyclist must WALK their bikes through the transition area to the MOUNT LINE. At this time cyclists may mount their bike and depart on the 15k bike.
- Upon completion of the 15k bike and arrival at the Transition Area, cyclists must dismount at the DISMOUNT LINE and WALK their bike back to the designated bike rack. Once the cyclist has entered the marked Team Relay Area, they may hand off the timing chip to the swimmer. Once the swimmer has attached the timing chip, he/she may depart to the swim course. Cyclists must re-rack their bike on the designated bike rack.
- Relay swimmers must turn in their timing chip at the designated timing table behind the finish line immediate after crossing the finish line. Any team failing to turn in its timing chip will not be considered an official finisher
the heck is a reverse triathlon?
Traditionally, triathlons are run in the order of swim/bike/run.
But in many locations the race is reversed if there
is only a pool available. So at this event it's a run/bike/swim.
No, you don't need to wear a wetsuit, the pool temperature
will be a nice 70+ degrees.
Yes, you need to wear a helmet on the bike. You should
have the helmet on before you get on the bike.
Yes, you need to be bodymarked so we get accurate times.
Yes, you can wear your race number in the pool.
Goggles, you can wear them if you like, but they are
not required.
Yes, you must have fun if you are doing this race.

"If you carry a credit card, you should circle February 22, 2010 on your calendar. That's the day when sweeping provisions of the new credit card legislation take effect. You will be getting some much needed relief as the new law addresses such things as how and when a card issuer can raise your rate (currently issuers can pretty much raise your rate at any time for any reason).
However, the new law is likely to have unintended consequences. Specifically, average card rates and fees are likely to rise in the coming months. So, if you have credit card debt, you should aggressively seek to pay down your debt. Also, issuers are probably going to increasingly target consumers with good credit. If your credit is less than stellar, focus on improving your credit score. Otherwise, you may find yourself with vey limited credit options.
The bottom line is that while there are silver linings to the legislation, it won't be a bed of roses for all consumers...particularly for folks carrying a balance each month and folks that are building or rebuilding their credit."
No Comments
- Do any credit card companies penalize you if you have zero balance on your card and haven't used it for a few months?
- Does the Credit CARD Act apply to business credit cards?
- I have an excellent record for payments on all my cards, but I'm paying as high as 29 percent interest. How can I lower the rate?

If you've driven in Mandan this summer, you've likely run into a detour on a major road in town.
Sunset Drive has been under construction since May, and with school starting next week, it could cause a few headaches getting to and from class.
We check in on the progress, and find out if it will be open when students head back to school.
<<Crews continue to work seven days a week, reconstructing more than eight blocks of roadway along Sunset Drive.
"The reconstruction includes completely new roadway, new sidewalks, new curb and gutter and new underground utilities," Tony Spilde said.
Although it might not look like it today, Spilde says this portion of Sunset Drive in front of Mandan high school, will be open just in time for the first day of school.
"August 22nd is our by the start of school is when we'll have that open, the northern most phase of the project is open, that's done so the turn off to Lewis and Clark is ready for the start of school, the middle phase, the last phase is around Division street and work on that portion of it should wrap up in October," Spilde said.
But that last phase will still force drivers to take some detours.
"Be aware and maybe take a little more time and approach the schools you know understanding things aren't quite the same and be on the lookout for kids and other cars and traffic, because it might be congested a little more than usual," Assistant Superintendent Jeff Lind said.
It might not be business as usual yet along this busy stretch of road, but Spilde says it will be worth it once the project is complete.
"Sunset Drive is a major thoroughfare in Mandan we understand that, I know it's a hardship for people particularly for those who live along the road but we think that a new road, a safe road, a long lasting road is going to be worth the wait," Spilde said.
Spilde says the project got off to a wet start in May.
But again, with 25 people working seven days a week, the final phase, which is the portion north of division, should be complete in October.

PMS Health Center
Winning the War on PMS
Look at Your Lifestyle continued...
Different women may benefit from different programs, says Steven Rosenzweig, MD. But in his experience, it is generally helpful to take a stepwise approach and begin with the quality of diet, exercise, and rest.
"Your diet should balance carbohydrates, proteins, and fat at each meal. Emphasize whole grains, natural oils rather than margarine and saturated fats, and vegetable sources of protein. If you follow this sort of diet, many of the mood swings and energy issues associated with PMS can be solved," says Rosenzweig, director of the Center for Integrative Medicine at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia.
It's extremely important to follow a lifestyle with a natural rhythm of rest and activity. Get an appropriate amount of sleep, and pursue some form of daily exercise followed by the relaxation response. "This will improve the quality of sleep at night and often reduces the total sleep requirement," he says.
And as Rosenzweig cannot resist mentioning, this sort of diet and exercise program has health-promoting effects that extend far beyond control of PMS.
He recommends a good multivitamin, the full range of B vitamins (not just B-6), and often extra magnesium.
"Women with a predisposition to PMS symptoms often tend to have low magnesium stores. But the single most effective supplements, in my opinion, are evening primrose oil and flaxseed oil," he says. While women's needs vary, a usual starting dose would be about 1,000 mg of each per day.
In addition, you can find specially formulated dietary supplements designed to combat PMS. Judith Wurtman, PhD, developed PMS Escape, a powdered drink mix containing a mixture of carbohydrates and vitamins.
"We know the changes in mood and appetite that characterize PMS are related to changes in the amount of serotonin in the brain, says Wurtman, a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and director of the TRIAD Weight Management Center at McLean Hospital in Boston. "PMS Escape helps raise serotonin levels in the brain for about four to five hours. It works faster than food, and you only use it on the days you have symptoms."
Suppose you try diet and lifestyle changes but nothing seems to help? First, take a closer look at your personal pattern of symptoms. If you have classic PMS, you'll notice that you start to feel better as soon as your period begins. If you fit that definition, this means your symptoms are clearly cycle-related. In that case, Goldstein says, cycle suppression using birth control pills will alleviate many if not all of your symptoms.
What About Sarafem?
If you watch TV an average amount, you've already seen the ads for Sarafem, those pink and lavender capsules designed to ease premenstrual depression and mood swings. Sarafem is actually a low dose of the antidepressant Prozac, repackaged with a new look and name. It's not supposed to be used for garden-variety PMS. Sarafem is prescribed only for premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).
