LANSING (WKZO) -- The Secretary of State has issued a news release, laying out the rules for voting, and for voter conduct at the polls on Tuesday.
She says it's prohibited to use still or video cameras in polling places, and that includes cell phone cameras. There is a ban on posting ballots on social media, and such exposure would mean rejection of the ballot and the voter from that election. There are exceptions for the media to take pictures at the polls, within certain restrictions.
Other rules include a ban on election materials, buttons, T-shirts and any other displays. Voters will be asked for a photo I.D. but if they can't present one, they will be asked to sign an affidavit attesting to their identity.
Voters have until 4PM on Monday to request an absentee ballot, and until 8pm Tuesday night at 8PM to return them.
Absent is any request for declaration of citizenship, which Secretary of State Ruth Johnson had insisted be included on ballots until she was challenged by the ACLU and ordered by the courts to desist.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - Sunday might have been Wisconsin's most humid day of the year.
Southerly winds drove up the mercury, with temperatures as high as 92 at Boscobel.
An approaching cold front was blamed for heavy rains in some areas. Winchester in Vilas County had two-and-a-third inches early Sunday. Burton in Grant County had one-and-two-thirds' inches later in the day, and 1.6 inches fell near Medford.
Thunderstorms went through parts of the Badger State during the night. Boulder Junction in Vilas County had marble-sized hail.
The National Weather Service predicts another muggy day, with highs in the 80's and scattered thunderstorms.
Tuesday, the highs could be about 10 degrees cooler, but the storms will hang around. Forecasters say severe weather is more of a possibility Tuesday.

Monotype Imaging's Fonts.com Web Fonts team and Google have been brainstorming ways to make Web fonts better. Our main focus has been on file size. The idea is simple. Smaller Web fonts are faster Web fonts. Faster is better.
Looking to reduce Web font file sizes, the Google Web Fonts team began working closely with us to discuss the advantages of our patented MicroType® Express (MTX) algorithm. The results led to the joint conclusion that in order to truly maximize the value of this technology, it needs to be adopted by Web browsers and font tools. Thus, we decided that the greatest benefits would be achieved by sharing MTX with the entire Web community. As a result, Monotype Imaging has agreed to make the MTX format, as described in our W3C submissions, available to the public at no cost, subject to the terms of a license which can be found at: http://www.monotypeimaging.com/aboutus/mtx-license.aspx. Further details on the contributed technology can be found at http://www.w3.org/Submission/MTX.
Our ongoing collaboration will lead to a significantly better user experience, including:
- Page load speed – with smaller font files, Web fonts used in your branded content will load faster than ever!
- Font rendering quality – smaller font files enable greater screen optimization of Web fonts for noticeably better display quality across a variety of device screens.
- Font features – smaller fonts enable more room for OpenType® features.
- Cross platform performance – With Monotype Imaging and Google working with the W3C, the Web community and other browser vendors on adopting Web font compression technology, you will see enhanced performance of your Web font content across browser platforms. In other words, you'll be able to deliver great experiences to your audiences regardless the browser.
Initially, Monotype Imaging and Google will focus on font creation tools. Currently, Microsoft's Internet Explorer® browser supports EOT (Embedded OpenType) font files which make use of MTX compression. Open source tools needed to make EOT files can now be extended and improved. Beyond these efforts are several other interesting prospects including the possibility of adoption by additional browsers. Learn more about this collaboration.
We are excited to continue our collaboration with the Google Web Fonts team and to see how the Web community might make use of this technology. More to come!

Receiving the bed, I put off setting it up until the next day thinking I didn't have the time. I laughed at that after the ten minutes it took to set up. Each side of the bed comes folded in half and the legs pivot out as you unfold it. The two halves are held together with bolts and wing nuts making it truly tool free. The bed solid. Both my wife and I are big people and it only squeaks under the, er, most active of situations and then barely at all. My son took a flying leap onto it and it made neither a sound nor shifted in any way. The only negative would be that there is no way to attach a headboard without modification. I knew that when purchasing so I wouldn't take a star away or anything, but thought it should be pointed out.
I was really looking for something inexpensive for my son on a temporary basis, so when I came across this bedframe and all the wonderful reviews (over 250 of them), I decided to make the purchase. I didn't want to leave a review immediately after receiving it b/c I wanted to see what kind of issues it had, if any. It arrived in excellent condition, nothing bent or missing. I put it together in about 10 mins. It would have been less than that if I didn't have to position everything the way I wanted. It is good on space, but ugly. It just kinda remind me of a military bed for some reason. If your interested in dressing it up, you will need to purchase a 14inch drop bedskirt to cover up all those legs. Ok. The bad news. The first few days of my son using this frame, he had no issues. He is 5'6 130lbs, so he's not that heavy. After the first full week, it began to squeak. We have now had the bed for two weeks, and it only appears to be getting louder. The noise is currently only on one side of the bed, but I expect over time for the problem to increase. I thought if I tightened up some bolts along the legs, I could stop the problem--negative. It appears that the screws are mounted on,so your just stuck dealing with the problem. My suggestion to potential buyers, if you choose to purchase this frame, use the bed for a few weeks before leaving the review. This way people can get a better idea of what to "possibly" expect. I'm not saying that over 250 people weren't satisfied, but it is my opinion that they might be leaving reviews far too soon.
This frame is awful. I don't know what you other reviewers are talking about, it's unbelievably squeaky. I've had it for a few months and the squeaking has gotten worse and worse. Now I'm in a horrible situation because I can't keep the frame, it squeaks so loud that it wakes up my roommate. STEER CLEAR
I waited until I had the product a while versus when I immediately received it. Over time, this frame becomes REALLY squeaky (and I haven't had it a full year). If my husband turns over, it wakes me up because it shakes and squeaks something horrible!
The bed arrived very quickly. It folds up very small and is simple to put together in a matter of minutes. However, mine arrived missing 1 of 6 leg assemblies. I called, emailed and chatted Overstock.com staff and they were all brainless robots who repeatedly messed things up claiming it was damaged in shipping for example (like the assembly unhooked itself and magically moved through the cardboard box). I eventually received a new bed and was told to keep the defective one, which is nice. So basically, the bed when received in working condition is great, but Overstock.com employees need to stop reading their scripts and actually provide one on one customer service to help customers.
love this frame and so easy to put together... I didn't think I could do it myself and left it in the box for almost a month. Then... decided to go for it and it was together in 10 minutes.
I needed a supportive bed frame for a queen mattress for the guest bedroom. The box spring would not fit up our narrow stairwell so we needed something that would work as both a bed frame and support. This was exactly what i was looking for. EASY to put together and very sturdy. Seems to be two twin frames with anchors that connect them, so can probably use for two twin beds as well. (haven't tried that) Also it folds and stores using very little space. It was a very satisfying purchase.
The concept is cool... But this things squeaks every time I move.
I had to buy this because a Queen size box spring would not fit up my stairs. Overall, it is easy to install and still makes the matress feel comfortable. My only complaint would be that it is a bit squeakier than I would like. Tossing and turning becomes noisy!
Ive been waiting to buy this frame for awhile. It's very sturdy and I was happy I didn't have to buy a box spring. This comes in two seperate pieces and if I had to store it folds up and in half. I'm very happy with this purchase. I bought the attachment pieces for a headboard later.

Task Force seeks workshop proposals for Creating Change Conference 2006
This year's conference will be held in Kansas City, Missouri, Nov. 8 - 12; workshop proposal submission deadline is July 14
Roberta Sklar, Director of Communications
WASHINGTON, May 1 — The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force today announced the release of its Request for Proposed Presentations/Workshops (RFP) — the document that guides activists and organizers through the workshop proposal process — for its 19th annual Creating Change Conference in Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 8–12, 2006. With more than 2,000 attendees, Creating Change is the largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) organizing conference in the United States. Download the RFP at www.CreatingChange.org.
Proposals are due to the Task Force by 6 p.m. on July 14.
"The Creating Change Conference is the must-attend professional development event for our movement's activists," said Russell Roybal, director of the Task Force's Movement Building department. "Fifty percent of the Creating Change programming is generated by activist leaders who know they have skills, best practices and inspiration to share. We urge all who want to teach, train and motivate their colleagues to submit a proposal for a workshop. Don't just create change; teach your comrades how to create change!
Conference presenters will receive a steeply discounted registration fee.
For online proposal submission and conference information, visit 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.

I know that I've been absent on my blog for quite a while now. It has all been for very good reason if that is any consolation. There's been a lot of things happening in my life with some things coming to an end while other things are just beginning. It is a good transitional time for myself and my family.
First of all, I will be closing my ArtFire shop some time soon after Thanksgiving. I've already closed both of my Etsy shops. I've had a great run selling online with almost 1,000 items sold over the past few years. I've enjoyed every minute of creating handmade products, selling online and at craft shows, and communicating with customers. I feel very blessed for such good success, but I know that it is time to move on to other things.
Now on to some of those other things...
Some of you may remember a while back when I posted about a wonderful crafty job at Reader's Digest Association. I had been contacted by the talent manager there asking if I would advertise the position on my Midwest Fiber Crafts blog, and I went ahead and posted it on that blog as well as this one. I also checked out the position description and decided to apply myself. Although I wasn't actively looking for a job, I didn't want to miss such a once in a lifetime opportunity. Well, to make a long story much shorter, I got the job! I am the new Associate Editor of Crafts for Reader's Digest Association's branch in Greendale, Wisconsin. I will mainly be working on Country Woman magazine along with some Taste of Home books and other special interest publications.
My husband and I are now working hard to pack up our possessions for our upcoming move to Wisconsin. We've found a wonderful little townhouse to rent and will be relocating in the next few weeks so that I can start my new job. It is a little chaotic in the short-term, but I know that it will all be worth it in the long-term. My husband is just as excited as I am about moving. We both like the area and the nature and weather up there. He's going to be stay-at-home-daddy for a little while as he searches for a job. I think that he's excited about spending that time with our daughter.
Well, there you have it. Closing shop, relocating to Wisconsin, and starting a brand new job. It is certainly a transitional time for us in the Frisby household, but we are thrilled about it all. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers during our busy time. I very much appreciate everyone who takes the time to follow my blog. I have gotten to know quite a few of you over the years and consider you friends :)
Here's a photo of myself and my daughter from a trip to Missouri Town a while back... just thought that you might like to see the redheaded duo...

***2014 Louisville AAC Championship Video by Steve Andress - CLICK HERE***
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WDRB) – The University of Louisville basketball team came to the FedEx Forum this weekend and gave the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee something to think about.
Actually, that's not true. The Cards gave the committee a legal pad lined with items to think about, and then U of L coach Rick Pitino made the conversation even more stimulating. Never mind the three- or two-seeds that most analysts are projecting for the Cardinals. Pitino says that a one-seed is in order.
"I judge it from the eye test," Pitino said. "Now understand something, every analyst has an agenda, every coach has an agenda.
"I think it was because I was there at SMU in the ugliest environment in 39 years. I was there in Cincinnati in the most hostile environment. I've been there with a run through March. I know what the guys have been through.
"Do I think we should be? Yes. Do I think we will be? No."
Who's playing better than Louisville (29-5) right now?
It's a short list.
The latest exclamation point was Louisville's 71-61 victory over Connecticut Saturday evening in the championship game of the American Athletic Conference Tournament.
Interpret this any way you'd like, but the Cards followed the same script they used last season: Pitino told his players not to cut down the nets after this championship victory.
"After the Final Four (in 2012), I wanted the guys to realize there's only one important thing," Pitino said. "That's the whole thing."
"As I was walking out on the floor, a guy tried to hand me some scissors," said U of L forward Luke Hancock. "I looked at him like he was crazy. We don't cut down conference championship nets. We have bigger goals."
But don't gloss over what this team has achieved down the stretch.
That's five straight victories for the Cardinals by an average of nearly 30 points -- three against Top 25 teams. Mark it down as their 12th win in their last 13 games, too. They won a share of the AAC regular-season title as well as the league tournament.
They've given the Huskies three of their eight defeats. Not only are the Cards the only team to beat UConn by double figures, they've done that three times.
As I said last week, after Louisville beat the Huskies 81-48, Connecticut is not a chump program. The Cards and Huskies played 120 minutes this season. UConn led for roughly 68 seconds in those three games.
Ranked fifth in both human polls before the week began, Rick Pitino's team is certain to be ranked at least third after the next vote on Monday, considering the losses Villanova and Arizona took this week. They're already ranked second in two national computer polls.
Overall strength of schedule will keep Louisville off the top seed line. But it won't keep many from predicting another deep NCAA run by Pitino's team. "Louisville is playing great basketball right now," UConn coach Kevin Ollie said.
On Thursday, as Louisville rolled Rutgers, it was Chris Jones, who scored 18. On Friday, as they handled Houston, Russ Smith scored 42 – and he could have had 50.
On Saturday it was Smith (19), Jones (11) and Montrezl Harrell. Especially Harrell, who led U of L with 22 and 11 rebounds. All three made the all-tournament team. Smith was named the Most Outstanding Player.
"Everybody gets a chance to flourish," Smith said.
Harrell has been making a nightly appearance on ESPN's SportsCenter. Put the ball near the rim. Harrell will grab it. Harrell will dunk it. And Harrell will make a defender look helpless while he does it.
But Harrell did more than that Saturday. He made a 16-foot jumper. Connecticut did not believe that Harrell could make another. So he did.
For most of the first half, it was difficult to believe these were the same two teams that had played seven days earlier and Louisville had won by 33 points on Senior Day at the KFC Yum! Center.
That game was over after about 18 seconds. This one had drama for about 18 minutes.
Actually the play that ended the drama was the final play of the first half. Down 12, Connecticut did the smart thing and played for the final shot. Ollie put the ball in the hands of Shabazz Napier. He is a first-team all-American. He was also voted the Most Outstanding Player in the league.
Russ Smith did not care. As soon as Napier crossed mid court, Smith covered him as thoroughly as syrup on a stack of pancakes. He knocked the ball away. Terry Rozier grabbed it, danced down the court and scored.
Ball game.
Don't forget to credit Pitino. He's now won 12 conference tournament championships in 25 events, including three straight. Add the AAC to the Big East, SEC, Conference USA and ECAC to the league tournaments that he has won – with a 79 percent winning percentage in conference tournament games.
Now the Cards wait until 6 p.m. (EDT) Sunday for the NCAA Tournament draw. Most bracket projections have them a number three seed, but they've been listed as high as a two as well a four or five seed.
They'll try to reach the NCAA Final Four in three consecutive seasons for the first time in school history and also try to become the Division I men's team to defend its championship since Florida repeated in 2006-07. Overall, the Cards have won 21 of their last 22 post-season games.
"They won the championship last year and they went to the Final Four the year before," Ollie said. "They've got pretty much their whole team back. They're an experience bunch, they play hard and they're well coached."

The Start Log for 2011 is done and you can view it here.
Two of my favorites from the Start Log:
- In 2011, the Phillies went 90-23 in games in which they scored more than two runs.
- In 2011, the Phils allowed 529 runs.
90-23 is a .796 winning percentage for the Phils in games where they scored more than two runs. They went 18-10 (.643) in games where they scored three runs. In 2008, 2009 and 2010, the Phillies went to the World Series twice and never were .500 in games in which they scored three runs. Overall in those three seasons they went 24-43 (.358) in the games in which they plated exactly three runs. They actually had a better record in the 18 games in 2011 in which they scored three runs than the 19 games in which they scored four. The Phils went 11-8 when they scored four runs in 2011.
NL teams other than the Phillies went 1069-576 (.650) in games in which they scored more than two runs. In the games in which they scored exactly three runs, the NL teams other than the Phils went 150-219 (.407) in 2011.
In 2011, the Phillies allowed 529 runs. That's not a lot.
The last team to play 162 or more games in a regular season and allow 529 runs or less was the 1969 Baltimore Orioles– they allowed 517 runs in 162 games. Righty Jim Palmer (16-4 with a 2.34 ERA, a 1.08 ratio and a 154 ERA+) and lefty Mike Cuellar (23-11 with a 2.38 ERA, a 1.01 ratio and a 151 ERA+) led that rotation. Cuellar won the Cy Young award in the AL that year. Lefty Dave McNally won 20 games for Baltimore as well, going 20-7 with a 3.22 ERA, a 1.18 ratio, but with an ERA+ of just 112.
Notably, Halladay and Lee were almost inarguably better than Cuellar and whoever you think the second-best starter for Baltimore that year was. And '11 Hamels was better than '69 McNally.
Baltimore, however, had a fantastic bullpen that threw to a league-best 2.32 ERA and a league-best 1.09 ratio in a year when the average AL-pen pitched to a 3.50 ERA and a 1.39 ratio. The Phillies bullpen this year, as you may remember, was far from league-best (7th in the NL in ERA and tenth in ratio).
Several teams were on pace to allow less than 529 runs over 162 games in a season where they didn't play 162 games. In 1981, the Astos allowed 331 runs in 110 games, which put them on pace to allow 487 over 162 games. The Yankees were on pace to allow 519 runs that year and the Dodgers on pace to allow 524.
In 1972, the Orioles allowed 430 runs in a 154 games, which put them on a pace to allow 452 runs. Oakland's pace would have had them allowing 478 runs over 162 games.
Back in June I looked at the pace at which the Phils were allowing runs. You can read that post here.
In this article, Manuel points out that the Phillies offense was really good in the second half of the year, saying, "From the second half of the season on, we were either No. 1 or No. 2 in offense." No argument here. From the start of the season to the end of June, the Phils were eighth in the NL in runs scored. From the start of July to the end of the regular season, they led the league in runs scored. From the start of June to the end of the regular season they were fourth in the NL in runs scored. Second in the league in runs scored after the All-Star break. More on that later.
Manuel says he likes the chances of Rollins returning in this article.
In this article Manuel says he thinks Thome can still play first base and suggests that Utley will hit third when healthy.
These articles about the Brewers, Phillies, Jimmy Rollins and Aramis Ramirez seem similar to me.
This article lists the Phils among the suitors for Gio Gonzalez. Sounds good to me, but I would advise against holding one's breath. Gio Gonzalez and Gavin Floyd for Freddy Garcia in December, 2006, wasn't a shining moment for the Phils.
This says the Phils are out on Ramirez.
This suggests that the Phils would be willing to include Domonic Brown in a Gio Gonzalez deal.

No Way Out is told in flashback as Naval officer Tom Farrell (Kevin Costner) is grilled by his superiors regarding a recent "unpleasantness." While at a Washington party, Tom meets Susan Atwel (Sean Young), and they're soon sharing a steamy love scene in the back of a limo (marvelously parodied in 1993's Hot Shots! Part Deux). Several months pass before Tom meets Susan again; he discovers she's the mistress of the US Secretary of Defense David Brice (Gene Hackman). When Susan is murdered by Brice, his loyal aide (Will Patton) dutifully destroys the evidence and invents the fallacious theory that a KGB mole was responsible. Tom is assigned to locate that mole -- a perilous situation, since Tom knows that no such mole exists, but must go along with the charade since he was the last person who was seen with Susan.

Sandy Johnson and her son, Jeff, were juggling the demands of classes and exams, jobs and family life in pursuit of associate degrees. They also were confronting what could have been an insurmountable obstacle: homelessness.
"This has been a tough semester, a tough year," said Sandy Johnson, 56. "There are times when you just have to keep breathing. You have to keep going."
The family did keep going, and it paid off. After nearly nine months without a home of their own, the Johnsons have a new apartment in Hickory Ridge, and Sandy and Jeff both walked across the Merriweather Post Pavilion stage as part of Howard Community College's largest graduating class in the school's 42-year history on Tuesday, May 21.
"This feels really good," said Jeff Johnson, 20. "It's like, I actually made it."
Speaking before an exuberant crowd at graduation, Board of Trustees Chairman Kevin Doyle acknowledged the struggles some HCC students face: balancing life, jobs, children and classes in pursuit of their degrees.
"It comes down to more than multi-tasking," he said. "You have our utmost respect and admiration for all the hard work that has brought you to this moment."
Jeff and Sandy Johnson may have fought harder for that moment than most of their fellow graduates. Now, with a degree in hand, Jeff Johnson hopes that "what happened can never happen again."
What happened is a long story, Sandy Johnson said — a story that starts nearly 20 years ago when her husband had his first heart attack.
Jeff Johnson was three months old; his older brother, Bobby, was 2. As the years progressed, Jim Johnson, now 61, developed heart disease, diabetes and emphysema. When he was let go from his job as a product information specialist at UNISYS in 2009, he was too sick to find another job and was denied disability. Sandy Johnson had been working at a call center at night and on weekends, but the center had closed when Jeff was a freshman at Oakland Mills High School.
The Johnsons were trapped in a situation similar to many when the economy crashed: Jim Johnson's unemployment benefits ran out, the family fell behind on the mortgage and Sandy couldn't find a full-time job with benefits or else her husband couldn't qualify for Medicaid. The family had to choose between paying the mortgage or paying for Jim Johnson's prescriptions, which total $1,000 a month.
"I was stuck," Sandy Johnson said. "We managed — with lots of luck and prayer — to hold on for almost four years. We were fortunate."
The luck ran out in July 2012, when the Johnsons lost their house in Owen Brown, where they had lived for almost 15 years.
"I think that was the worst part that I can think of — losing the house," said Jeff Johnson, a 2010 graduate of Oakland Mills. "I had been there so long, I couldn't remember any other place. I could literally walk through that house with my eyes closed and get where I needed to be. It was my safe place. The fact that it was gone ..."
Sandy Johnson picked up her son's trailing thought:
"My children walked through that house before it was even fully built," she said. "We were the first family to live there. When we lost it, I felt like I had let my kids down. I saw the pain they were going through and that ripped me apart more than anything. I mean, a mom's supposed to be able to fix everything."
Sandy Johnson fell into silence, and Jeff put his hand on her shoulder.
"We knew you were doing everything you could," he told her.
Jeff and Sandy Johnson still find it difficult to talk about the past year. After their house was sold, the family moved to a Super 8 for two weeks and then the Extended Stay America in Columbia Gateway. With the financial help of friends and money from student aid, the Johnsons were able to stay there until December.
But they ran out of money again, and the week before Christmas the Johnsons went to the Grassroots Crisis Intervention Center, where they learned they would likely be split up, because neither Jeff nor Bobby were minors. That wasn't an option, Sandy Johnson said, even though Jeff had been invited to live with a friend.
"I felt guilty because I wanted to be with my family," Jeff Johnson said. "We're supposed to be sticking together. It was hard."

-- Robert Preidt
MONDAY, Feb. 27 (HealthDay News) -- A potentially dangerous
heart rhythm problem called atrial fibrillation is a strong
predictor of mental and physical decline in older people at risk
for heart disease, new research suggests.
In the study, published Feb. 27 in the
Canadian Medical Association Journal, researchers analyzed data from two trials that included over 31,000 people in 40 countries, aged 55 and older. All of the participants had heart disease or diabetes and some organ damage stemming from these diseases.
The investigators used a common screening test known as the
mini-mental state examination (MMSE) to assess the participants'
mental function at the start ("baseline") and over the course of
the study.
Between the start of the study and the follow-up period, more
patients with atrial fibrillation (34 percent) than without the
heart rhythm disorder (26 percent) had a decrease in MMSE score of
three or more points, were admitted to a long-term care facility,
experienced a loss of independence in performing activities of
daily living or developed dementia, the study authors noted in a
journal news release.
"Our study provides prospective evidence that atrial fibrillation increases the risk of [mental] decline and dementia, independent of clinically overt stroke and baseline [mental] function," according to study co-author Koon Teo, of the Population Health Research Institute at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, and colleagues.
"We also saw a significant association between atrial fibrillation and functional decline (loss of independence with activities of daily living) and the need for long-term care," the authors wrote in their report.
"Our findings highlight the need to include [mental] and functional measures in clinical trials of patients with atrial fibrillation," the researchers concluded.
While the study uncovered an association between the irregular
heartbeat disorder and mental and physical declines, it did not
prove a cause-and-effect relationship.

Michael Jackson's oldest son, Prince, will appear in court today (Wednesday). Prince, who was 12-years-old when the pop icon died, will testify about his father's life and death.
Prince, his siblings Paris and their grandmother Katherine Jackson, are suing AEG Live. The lawsuit contends the concert promoter is liable in Jackson's death, because it hired, retained or supervised the doctor convicted of involuntary manslaughter in Jackson's death.
Doctor Conrad Murray told investigators he gave Jackson nightly infusions of the surgical anesthetic Propofol to treat his insomnia.The coroner ruled the singer died of an overdose of the drug.

Phoenix Coyotes forward Brett MacLean is reportedly improving after suffering a cardiac emergency while playing hockey in Owen Sound, Ontario on Monday.
Coyotes general manager Don Maloney gave an update to the Arizona Republic's website, azcentral.com, on Wednesday.
"He's better," Maloney said. "Our understanding is he'll be out of ICU later (Wednesday). Our medical staff is in communication with the people up in Ontario, so our understanding is things are improving".
The Coyotes announced on Tuesday that MacLean had required CPR on site when the incident occurred and was taken by air ambulance to University Hospital in London, Ontario.
MacLean, 23, played most of last season with Portland of the American Hockey League. He has appeared in 18 NHL games with Winnipeg and Phoenix.

TrilogyPosted by Lawrence Dillon in Uncategorized
Schumann's not the most popular figure these days, but I've always found him intriguing. When he was at his best, there was nobody like him for fantastical experiments in melody, harmony and rhythm.
I also find Schumann the man both fascinating and disturbing – a figure of oddly matched parts. He was a radical and a homebody. He was a writer and composer who chose the latter path somewhat late. He was incredibly arrogant and oddly shy. His music criticism can shift from strictly rational to intensely sensual in a butterfly's heartbeat.
Okay, I couldn't resist the butterfly image – because I think the metaphor of the butterfly's metamorphosis is a key to understanding Schumann's life and work. It plays a major role in part three of my trilogy, Florestan and Eusebius – I'm even rewriting a famous Heine elegy to include a set of butterfly wings in the culminating passage:
Um mein Bett erhebt sich die Hülle,
Drin tanzt die junge Schmetterling;
Sie tanzt die Schritte der Liebe -
Die Flügel erscheinen in Fülle
And Schumann's final disease, which put him in an asylum for his last three years, brought him both raving lunacy and intense solitude — he wasn't even permitted to see his wife Clara until just before he died.
At this point, I've sketched some of the music, and given a lot of thought to some of the themes – musical and otherwise – I'll be exploring. I'll be working intermittently over the course of the coming year, then everything else will be set aside for about six months so I can completely immerse myself in the process. ETA is fall 2009.
You can read more about this trilogy here. And if you know any other orchestras that might be interested in this, drop me a note!

WHAT: The Next Stimulus? Bringing Corporate Tax Dollars Home to Work in America
WHEN: 8:30am, Wednesday, June 15, 2011
WHERE: Columbus Club, Union Station
DETAILS: Right now there is over a trillion dollars in global profits earned by American businesses sitting overseas. What if we lowered the bar for companies to bring that money back home?
Third Way hosted an Idea Forum that examined the economic and policy implications of a repatriation tax holiday that would allow American multinational companies to bring overseas profits back to the U.S. for investment at a reduced tax rate.
Featuring a distinguished panel of leaders from business, labor, economics and government, the forum offered a fruitful discussion of a repatriation holiday's impact on hiring and investment, business practices, and future tax policy. Participants included Senator Kay Hagan, (D-NC), Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez (CA-47), Congressman Jared Polis (CO-2), Andy Stern, former President of the Service Employees International Union, Jim Rogers, CEO of Duke Energy and Dr. George Schink, Managing Director and Principal of Navigant Economics.
This Idea Forum was the first public event of Third Way's new corporate tax reform project, managed by former Congressman (and now Third Way Senior Fellow) Dan Maffei, which will advance ideas to make the code fairer, simpler, and more pro-growth.

Each week C.I.T. campers will interact with the other three traditional camps, where they will have the chance to observe the camp's professional staff in action, help with crafts, games and lessons of all kinds. They will also help with set-up and clean-up each day; learn basic safety and first-aid skills and so much more. Participants will be given daily responsibilities, and have counselors who will be their mentors during their time at camp. Teens can attend C.I.T. camp for as many weeks of the summer as they like! The staffing ratio is one counselor per 15 campers. Campers are required to purchase a turquoise camp shirt to attend field trips. Safety and fun are at the forefront during all camp activities.
Summer camp runs Jun. 16, 2014 - Aug. 22, 2014 from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
This summer we've added some new and exciting elements to this camp. Three field trips per week. In addition to all the other fun activities, we will be having a theme for each week. Each theme will be loosely based from a reality TV show. This will definitely add some fun and excitement to each week. Participants are sure to make new friend while competing in challenges with their new team mates.
If you select one of the weeks below, a calendar will pop up showing you exactly what is schedule for that week. It also gives specific times for each field trip. The chart at the bottom shows a quick breakdown of all the weeks and their trips.

what is this
I like this band...i do not like this!
If you're talking about the dubstep elements in the beginning of the song, then be at ease, it's only for about 20 seconds.
can't wait for this... sounds good so far.
I knew from the beginning that they were going to kill deadmau5.
