Howard, WI (WTAQ) - A major change for drivers on the west side of the Green Bay area: The first flyover ramps opened on Thursday.
They're part of the interchange connecting U-S highway 41 and State Highway 29 in Howard. But the new ramps are causing some confusion for drivers who are headed west on 29 and thought they could get off on Packerland. They have to drive 3 miles down the road and turn back for that.
And there's more. Starting July 7th, Shawano Avenue will close for 60 days from taylor to Packerland. The Highway 41 project has 3 more years of work scheduled.

A convicted felon was released from prison for exactly one hour and six minutes before allegedly being caught with a gun and marijuana at a truck stop and sent to jail. A Pinal County Sheriff's Office K-9 deputy stopped a vehicle near I-10 at the Flying J Truck Stop after the driver allegedly committed several traffic violations on Thursday. When the deputy approached vehicle, PCSO says the passenger, 34-year-old Daniel Clegg, had marijuana flakes all over his shirt. According to PCSO, Clegg was nervously and desperately wiping the pot from his shirt onto the floor.Clegg allegedly claimed the flakes weren't marijuana, but the deputy could smell the odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle. Deputies say Clegg had just been released from the Arizona Department of Corrections Prison in Florence at 8 a.m. Thursday morning. The deputy and his K-9, Torro, found marijuana underneath the passenger's seat and rolling papers in a side door pocket during a search. In addition, PCSO says the deputy found a fully loaded handgun with hollow point bullets sitting on top of Clegg's prison paperwork. PCSO says Clegg is a convicted felon and is unable to possess a gun. Clegg was free for exactly one hour and six minutes before being arrested and booked into the Pinal County Jail for possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and misconduct involving a weapon.

Blue Jackets at Oilers, G24/07-08
This is Curt Fraser. He was born in Cincinnati, Ohio but played his junior in the WHL with Victoria Cougars. Fraser played for Canada in the World Juniors (bronze, maybe 1978) but played for the USA in the Canada Cup (1987?).
I bet there are Canuck fans who don't know Fraser was born in Ohio.
Columbus is the biggest city in Ohio, and from reports the nicest. The most famous cities in Ohio (Cincinnati, Cleveland) have MLB and NFL franchises but can't boast an NHL franchise.
I guess they'll have to drive to Columbus.
The Blue Jackets are my new second favorite team. After years of being the California Seals with Doug MacLean shooting himself in the foot every 5 minutes, ownership is applying solid and reasonable ideas like hiring the best coach available and then picking up an extremely bright executive to help him put together a good team.
Lots of former Oilers are performning well for the Jackets, especially Jan Hejda and Jason Chimera. I think the Jackets might pick up a player or two for the stretch run and a team facing them in the first round is going to have more hell than a little bit.
Have you ever heard Randy Newman's Burn On? He's a clever bugger, and the song's lyrics always kill me:
Theres a red moon rising
On the cuyahoga river
Rolling into cleveland to the lake
Theres an oil barge winding
Down the cuyahoga river
Rolling into cleveland to the lake
Theres an oil barge winding
Down the cuyahoga river
Rolling into cleveland to the lake
Cleveland, city of light, city of magic
Cleveland, city of light, youre calling me
Cleveland, even now I can remember
cause the cuyahoga river
Goes smokin through my dreams

Kitchen makeovers
1. Vary textures
Give instant visual interest to your kitchen by mixing and matching multiple materials and textures. In this kitchen, cream-colored custom kitchen cabinets lighten the space and add contrast to the steel stove. The island is made of repurposed cypress wood.
2. Stick to one splurge
To indulge the splurge on marble countertops, these homeowners saved elsewhere by keeping the original room layout and plumbing as is. Off-the-shelf cabinets and inexpensive tile also helped cut costs.
3. Show off collectibles
Free up cabinet space, and create a clever spot for collectibles, with above-window shelving. This kitchen gets additional warmth from cherry counters, an antique island, gingham-check wallpaper, and an apron sink.

4. Embrace contrast
Honed black granite countertops and black-painted oak cabinets offer a dramatic counterpoint to this kitchen's white plank walls. Plumbing-pipe fittings make for unexpected wall art.
5. Swap out hardware
Cabinets from the 1930s get an easy update with the addition of beadboard doors plus new, modern knobs and pulls.
6. Give dishes room to breathe
Instead of claustrophobia-inducing wall-to-wall cabinetry, this kitchen has two open upper storage units, including this plate rack. The lower cabinets, with solid doors, offer hidden storage.
7. Indulge in luxe appliances
New appliances make a huge difference. This kitchen is home to some big splurges: a large industrial stove, and marble and steel countertops.
8. Experiment with wood
A custom island, topped with sheet metal, echoes this home's barnwood beams. Why stop at the usual overheads? Additional sconces make any countertop an enlightened spot for prep work.
9. Add a fresh coat of white
Unify everything with white paint. Ditch laminate countertops for affordable oak. A silver-plated tray strikes a luxe note and serves as a spot for holding recipes: Just add magnets!
10. Be creative with lighting
Antique milk-glass pendant lamps illuminate the kitchen, which sports custom cabinetry. Give a kitchen living-room elegance with a wall of framed—even lighted!—art.

A new mass notification system is being unveiled that will allow messages to be sent to valley residents in case of an emergency.
Siemens is partnering with our local Desert Fire & Communications to send and transfer information valley residents.
Recent shootings in communities across America have inspired Siemens to think of more ways to act quickly in emergencies.
The system will use fire alarm systems, iPhones, smart phones, Smart Boards, emails, texting, handheld radios and intercom systems to get these emergency messages out.

Major US conference attracts top CEOs and world leaders
Speaking recently at Fortune Magazine's Global Forum, held in Washington DC, Regional General Manager of HP in the Middle East, Joseph Hanania, said that knowledge transfer is one key benefit that is available to the citizens of Arab countries as they work with leading multinational companies.
Addressing around 200 of the world's most influential CEOs and governmental leaders who attended the Forum, Hanania's panel discussion titled Voices of Experience: doing business in the Arab countries also focused on the business changes that if implemented would help Arab countries get a higher return and better capitalize on the investment of multinational companies in their region.
The 2002 FORTUNE Global Forum took place from November 11-13, and had as its theme Mastering the New Realities. More than 200 CEOs representing the world's most influential companies, and other governmental leaders attended the event. — (menareport.com)

Innovation and growth are at the core of what MEP does, and manufacturers who innovate are far more successful than those who don't. The manufacturing workforce – so critical to manufacturing innovation – is the basic, yet decisive, building block for the successful implementation of all Next Generation Strategies. To be competitive, America's small manufacturers must integrate their workforce strategies with their business goals, develop and manage workforce skills and employee training, streamline recruitment efforts, reduce turnover, support performance, and plan for internal career mobility and succession in their entire employee population. So, if manufacturers are to engineer innovation in their businesses, workforce development investments will need to evolve from a one-off transactional type of activity to a business strategy integrated with other critical business strategies.
MEP works with partners to leverage resources and offers a wide range of resources and information to help U.S. Manufacturers in areas of workforce. Click on each initiative to learn more.
Strategic Management Acquisition and Retention of Talent (SMARTalent)
MEP is developing a technology tool called SMARTalent that will help manufacturers analyze and operationalize their workforce development strategies and automate basic tasks so that manufacturers can focus on optimizing productivity and profits. Learn more

America's Manufacturing Workforce: Make or Buy? (2013)
This report is intended to dispel the notion that an adequate supply of skilled employees is beyond the reach of American manufacturers. In fact, there are several choices that American manufacturers can make to ensure a pipeline of talent for the foreseeable future. However, manufacturers must be strategic in their thinking and rigorous in their execution of these options. With that in mind, America's SMMs can fill their skilled worker gaps before they become insurmountable challenges.
Workforce System Standards (July 2013)
Standards are critical to an effectively functioning society, and not simply for the physical sciences such as biology and astronomy. Society sets standards for ethical conduct, etiquette, daily attire, news reporting, movie watching, and language usage. Professional societies set standards for diagnoses and care-giving (animal, vegetable and mineral). One of the most divisive of America's current arguments is the role of education in society and the ways in which it is distributed, paid for, accredited, governed, allocated and standardized. America is awash in "standards" for learning and the outcomes thereof. This article covers the "why" and "how" of credentialing for the American workforce. View Standards
Creating an Innovation Practice: A Guide to Manufacturing Workforce Systems and the SMARTalent Tool (2012)
Manufacturers who analyze their workforce investments in ways similar to their other business investments (process control, inventory management, product development, finance and accounting) will find that their use of diagnostic tools will provide them with the critical information they need to successfully manage their talent. To understand the value proposition of analytic talent management, this guide provides a useful first step. View Guide
Layoff Aversion
The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) authorizes services and funds for dislocated workers as well as rapid response activities to facilitate a smooth transition to new jobs and careers when workers lose their jobs. Over the last decade, the US Department of Labor and state and local WIBs have sought to utilize WIA dislocated worker funds for layoff aversion – to prevent the layoff or minimize its scope and effect on both workers and communities.

Chapter 1:
The Summer of 1446 as told through Callia's Journal Entries
Life is absolutely beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. I love, love, love it and would never do anything to change it. It's absolutely perfect! Do you know what it is like to be in love? If you do not I feel the deepest sorrow for you, for it is the greatest joy in the entire world! My best friend Claire insists that I am too young to know of true love, the great joys, the beautiful wonders, for I am only a girl of fifteen, young, but old by society's standards.
She just doesn't understand, she doesn't fathom the possibilities for she is so conservative and close minded, but she's the only friend I have, and I am always seemingly unable to make more, for girls my age are so petty, intolerant, and they speak such awful lies, I simply cannot stand to have that kind of person for my friend, much less in my life at all. Sure Claire is close minded at times, uncreative, and no fun, but she's a good person at heart. She is true through and through, and although at times I cannot stand her, I couldn't live without her by my side.
Moving on to the subject of true love, I think I've finally found 'the one'. Whenever I'm near him I can't seem to breathe normally, and my heart always seems like it's beating so much faster than usual, and I haven't decided if I like the feeling or not. I see him so rarely, and yet, his face is forever etched in my mind.
Claire insists that his money and riches are just blinding my true judgement and that, in fact, I am really in love with the fancy presents he brings me rather than him. I try to explain to her that he could be poor, a beggar on the streets, and I'd still love him, but she doesn't seem to be getting it!
sure the next chapter is up! [:
Chapter 2:
06/19 (ctd.)
You see, Sage is different than all of the rich men I've met and that my father has tried to set me up with. I suppose you could call my family quite wealthy, but it means nothing to me. I wish not to be used so much by people I thought I could trust, but I couldn't ever seem to find the right person, at least, until Sage came along.
The story is, his family was ready to settle down after working so hard their whole lives for the riches they now acquired, they just wanted a comfortable place to continue doing what they loved doing, but in a more relaxed environment.
From the second I set eyes on him...I knew I had to have him. It was just simply a matter of time before he was mine. He has the most beautiful brown colored hair, like damp bark on trees after a nice soft rain. His eyes were a beautiful, crystal clear blue.
If you looked into his them it was physically painful to look away. They drew you in like a moth to a light, and you just couldn't help yourself from falling into their exquisitely untouched depths. He was tall with lean shoulders, and the most perfect bone structure. His nose was as slick as a ski slope, his mouth a perfect heart.
Needless to say when he first arrived in Europe, many girls sought his heart, and yet, no girl could ever seem to manage to get it. He was as unattainable as a fly not wanting to be swatted dead. In some way I was as drawn to him as they were, although I tried my best not to show it. I'm not exactly an extroverted type of person, and although I admired him from afar I dared not to speak to him unless he spoke to me first.
I guess I was somewhat glad he had no idea who I was. He wasn't like all the other men I knew who asked for my hand in marriage only so they may touch my family's fortunes. I knew those type of men, I had them pegged from the start, and I knew what the always wanted, me, and my father's riches. I always thought it was destiny for Sage and I to be together, for we were each drawn to each other shamelessly the first time we met.
thank you for giving it a chance! and I sure will tonight or tomorrow night [[:
haha suure [:
Chapter 3:
I admit I was guilty of trying to hide in the backrooms when Sage first came over to my
father's apothecary. I am embarrassed now of my behavior, but I
cannot go back and change it, so I must pretend it never happened.
Anyways, my father is a medicine man, he's also famed alchemist as
well. Alchemy is his true passion, but being an
apothacarian pays really quite well, and if my father had those skills, it was a shame to put them to waste.
I helped out around his store, often restocking the supply and inventory while my father was out, or helping run the
finances for I was better learned than my father, who never had so
much as an education as a young lad. It is a family run business and
my father and my cousin, Anton, often take turns running the place.
Anyways, my father isn't the sentimental type, but he shows his affection in other ways. It is
exactly that reason that no young man had dared to ask for an
apprenticeship. I guess I cannot judge them too harshly, for my
father is a quiet and strong man, large, but secretly softhearted on
the inside. I love him to pieces, I do, I do, I do. I am proudly my
father's daughter.
The first day Sage came into the shop naturally my jaw dropped. He was the most beautiful boy
I had ever seen. It was only later that I had learned of his social
standings, riches, and otherwise untouchable-ness.
Thank you very much! [: haha &&Sure, no problemo [:
Well first off, I don't write stories on here, I write them on a word processing application (openoffice.org). I put it in size 14 helvetica, and do all the fancy stuff with it, copy and paste it onto here, and then put spaces in between the paragraphs. Sometimes it turns out nice (like above) and sometimes it has weird spacing haha
Chapter 4:
He walked into the shop, just wearing a simple coat, slacks and a white shirt. At first glance he looked poor, but with good intentions. He walked up to the counter
and asked if Nicholas Flamel was in at the moment in the utmost politest voice I had ever heard from a young man in my entire life. He studied my face but I was too nervous to meet his eyes again so I just looked down as I replied that I would get my father.
When I brought my father back out to meet this young man, he asked what he wanted. Sage replied that he would like an apprenticeship, to learn from my
father. Of course, father thought this was very noble and was very flattered himself, he agreed to teach Sage, eventually, all he knew of medicine and alchemy. I curtsied to him before departing.
At that moment I remembered of my cousin, Anton. He was not going to be happy about this. He thought the whole thing should just stay a family business,
and a family business at that. He despised outsiders, and was very high strung for someone so young. He was only two years older than me at 17, and he thought he could rule the world. Whenever he speaks he always sounds like what he has to say is more important than what anyone else would have to say, and that the whole world is at his disposal.
He doesn't even appreciate what my mother and father have done for him. His real parents, my aunt and uncle, took off on him, and were going to just leave him for the streets had my parents not taken pity on him and took him in.
They craved a child, and whenever a baby was conceived it was always a miscarriage. My mother longed for a child to love, to hold, as her own. It was only two years later that she got lucky with
one of her own.
Chapter 5:
Of course all the girls in town thought he was the most extraordinary thing ever. I mean,
yes, of course, he was handsome. Beautiful in a cold way, not like
the way Sage was, with light, and life, and wonder. Anton had roughed
up black hair, deep chocolate brown eyes, and was heavily muscled.
Whenever he walked by, girls swooned, and he was arranged to be
married to one of the most beautiful girls in the entire town, Fleur
But, as usual, I was right, and he just about blew his top when he found out about Sage.
Most likely because he was used to being the town heartbreaker and
was probably angry that some other lad had taken his place. He had
never liked to be rivaled, even as a child during children's silly
Of course this envy and angry feelings subsided the next day after Sage started apprenticing. Anton and I were both working, for
we did as much as we could to help my parents, when a girl walked in.
She was breathtakingly beautiful with the face of an angel, her
blonde hair falling in waves around her head like a halo. I felt like
a complete oaf being in the same room as her, she was so stunning.
Immediately I wondered who she was. Why would a girl like her visit an apothecary? I looked
over at Anton with questioning eyes to see if he knew who she was,
but from the look on his face, he was completely and utterly taken
with her. His eyes had gone large and round, and he was practically
salivating over the wooden counter. I stepped on his foot lightly to
try to get him snap out of his stupor, but he didn't until she
started walking toward us, a smile on her face.
"Do you know where I could find my brother?" she cooed, her voice soft and sweet like a baby's.
"For who are you inquiring?" he asked nonchalantly, unconsciously flexing his muscles.
"My twin brother, Sage," she said, her smile dimming. Anton's mouth dropped open but
he quickly closed it, still obviously trying to impress Sage's

Check out the 100 hottest cheerleaders pictures from the NFL.
One hot picture of a cheerleader from every NFL team.
Hands down, the 25 hottest female athletes who have posed nude.
First off, Lebron James is not included on the top-25 dorky athlete list. However his nerdy glasses deserved a spot somewhere in the slideshow. He is one of the least- dorky athletes out there so I'm not sure why he thinks it's so cool to wear them but I find it highly unnecessary.
But forget about Lebron, and let's get on to define what makes an athlete geeky.
Some of players on the list have an overall dorky appearance, while others are closet-nerds.
What exactly would define one as a closet-nerd? Most of them are professional athletes with an outstanding academic background. Many of them attended Ivy League schools and graduated with an outstanding GPA.
Some of them even put off their professional sports career a couple of years just so they could finish their college degree.
But of course, then you must include the video-game geeks. I find it quite ironic that some of the world's best athletes are also the world's laziest people when they go home; they just kickback and play video games for hours on-end.
Whether it's their awkward appearance or unseen book-smarts, these athletes fit the definition of dork in some sort or form.Some of them may surprise you, and you may learn some interesting facts about well-known athletes in the media today.
Just for pure entertainment, I've included videos for a few of them, just to prove the fact that these athletes have a nerdy side to them.
Sit back and enjoy the 25 dorkiest athletes in sport's history.
Here's the first undercover smarty-pants. Breslow scored a 1410 on his SAT graduated from Yale University with a BA in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry. Following that, he was accepted to NYU Medical School but chose to play for the Milwaukee Brewers instead because of his love for the game.
He may act like a tough hockey player, but Parros was another college nerd. He graduated from Princeton University with a degree in Economics. His senior-year thesis was on the West Coast Longshoremen's Labor Dispute and he also speaks three languages. Needles to say, his mustache doesn't help the dorky factor at all.
Lincecum mainly makes the list for his appearance. He only spent one year at the University of Washington so he isn't an education dork. However, he is an avid Beatles fan and is called the "human jukebox" by his teammates for his ability to memorize song lyrics.
Okay, I know most of you probably don't agree with this but Howard is a video game nerd and we need at least one of them on the list. Howard is known for playing hours worth of video games, every night. Just ask Howard himself, he loves to play Call of Duty.
But just wait... For those of you that didn't know, he also made a cameo appearance in the trailer for Call of Duty- Modern Warfare 3. His appearance comes in the last 10 seconds of the trailer.
This one may surprise you, but Tim Duncan is a Dungeons and Dragons enthusiast and also enjoys attending renaissance fair which highlight the medieval times. On top of that, he has a tattoo of Merlin the Magician on his back and skele-jester on his left pectoral muscle.
Rolle is another athlete that you would not think of being a dork at first sight. This football player graduated from Florida State University in 2.5 years with a 3.75 GPA. He was a Rhodes Scholar and postponed his NFL career in order to attend Oxford University where he earned his Master's of Science in Medical Anthropology.
Smith didn't go to an Ivy League school like many did but he was still a story of academic success. Smith obtained his bachelor's degree in Economics from the University of Utah in just two years with a GPA of 3.74. Before being picked up by the San Francisco 49'ers he also had began pursuing his master's degree in economics.
First off, this is a picture of Fields in a snuggie. He graduated from Stanford with a degree in communications which isn't completely nerdy. However the video of Fields trying to sell his own jersey at a sporting goods store finally pushed his dorkiness over the edge to make the list.
The Asians are always getting made fun of for being nerdy. Lin went through his phase of "Linsanity" last year which just sounds dorky but there is more than that behind Lin.
He graduated from Harvard University with a degree in Economics. His GPA was only a 3.1, which is actually low compared to others on this list. However, the impression that I get from the following video is that Lin knows that he is a nerd at heart.
He is known for studying game films more than college students study for finals and his awkward/goofy appearance on the field. He takes things just a little too seriously sometimes. On top of that, he graduated from the University of Tennessee with a degree in Speech Communications and a Business minor; it only took him 3 years to graduate and had a 3.61 GPA.
Again with the white NFL quarterbacks; I think the majority of them were college nerds. He graduated from Stanford University with an architectural degree. He received the 2011 Academic All-America of the Year Award and Stanford's prestigious Al Masters Award which holds the highest standards of athletic performance, leadership and academic achievement.
Another quarterback on the list, Greg McElroy and his academic achievements in college. Attended the University of Alabama and graduated in 3 years with a degree in Marketing and a 3.86 GPA, receiving only one B during his undergrad career.
He also started a masters degree program in Sports Administratoin before he graduated and gained his degree the winter of 2011. On top of that, he was considered the smartest college athlete in 2010. And why not add a cherry on-top with the 2nd highest score in history on the NFL's Wonderlic test of 43/50.
He's a short-white point guard so he looks like a little weasel out on the court. Nash is also a video game guru after competing in the EA Sports FIFA '11 championships. However, this horrible, corny informercial for Vitamin Water placed this "Canadian Celeberity" on the dorky list.
He may not look dorky at first sight but Ohlendorf is a closet-nerd. He scored an outstanding 1520 on his SATY, graduated from Princeton University with a degree in Operations Research and Financial Research with a GPA of 3.8.
Adding to his college success, he earned the George Mueller Award for high scholarly achievement in the study of engineering with quality performance in intercollegiate athletics. And to top it off, he volunteers as an intern with the US Department of Agriculture. To this day, he is considered to be the smartest player in baseball.
Ryan Fitzpatrick is your typical white NFL quarterback dork. He scored a 1580 on his SAT and graduated from Harvard University with a degree in Economics.
Better yet, Fitzpatrick is well-known for holding the highest score on the Wonderlic Test at the NFL Combine. The test is scored out of 50 points and players are given 12 minutes to complete it; Fitzpatrick scored a 48/50 and completed the test in 9 minutes.

Since the AMAs are pretty much the People's Choice Award of music – a nice tchotchke for the bookshelf, but not an award that carries much prestige, like, say, a Grammy – it doesn't really matter who wins what.

Waking up at Dave's parents' in San Francisco, we were practically home. After a quick run from Noah and a Game of Thrones-ingest from Dave and Eric, we went in to Oakland. We had brunch with Dave's sister Lesley and Tom Adrian, our favorite Bay Area Lunatic. If you're in to the Gluten-Free lifestyle, make sure to check out Mariposa Cafe in Oakland. It's scrummy.
We drove south, getting in to Santa Barbara late afternoon. There we had a joyous reunion with Eric's wife Jess and Noah's roommate Lizzie. We ate at La Super Rica & headed to Isla Vista, where we'd be playing the Biko House again.
Kids were selling weed cookies and twirling fire outside; it was like Burning Man boot camp. We met up with our good friends Indiana and Nathan and had a great show, playing with Hi Ho Silver Away, Cole Moldy, and Yule FM. Ryan and Stew came out too, which was great.
After the show we loaded that van for the last time and headed home. Now we're in sunny weather and don't know what to do with all this residual energy. It's back to work, girlfriends, wives, life for a while. Also: sleeping in beds. Also: sleeping, period.
It was so great to see so many old friends and make so many new ones on this odyssey of sorts. Thanks to anyone who set up shows, housed us, played with us, made us midnight burritos, let us sleep on their farm, trekked across town to get us pizza, came out even though they have a newborn at home, bought records, bought shirts, bought drinks, bought whatever, all in all: thanks! We had an epic time and love you all.

Key parties to the conflict in Syria are meeting in Switzerland on Wednesday. The participants have been downplaying expectations that the "Geneva II" peace conference — which will bring together for the first time representatives from the Assad government and various rebel groups along with major international players — will resolve the conflict, or even bring about a ceasefire.
For the U.S. government, the crucial issue at this meeting and beyond is determining if and how to intervene and provide support in a conflict where there may no longer be real "good guys," or supporters of U.S. national interests, to back. This is particularly important given Washington's interwoven interests throughout the region — not only in Syria, but in Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Turkey and beyond.
U.S. support of the Afghan mujahideen against the Soviet Union during the Cold War teaches two valuable lessons for the current Syrian conflict. First, understand who we are helping, what their goals are and how these goals may differ from those of the United States. Second, think in advance about the endgame.
In Syria, the United States has been rightly careful about whom to aid — but as a result, the U.S. government has provided very little aid and thus created a void that others have filled. It is not yet clear whether Washington understands its own end-goals for the conflict and is communicating clearly how to achieve them. As history has demonstrated, this lack of clarity can lead to fateful unintended consequences. U.S. policy in Afghanistan in the 1980s provides a telling example.
Beginning in 1979, President Jimmy Carter authorized the CIA to send minimal assistance to Afghan rebels fighting the Soviet Union. The Reagan administration vastly increased this aid, to a high of more than $600 million a year in 1987. The Saudi government matched all U.S. funds.

Examples of Web Design
The First World War Poetry Digital Archive
We designed the interface of this site, which was highly commended at the Times Higher Educational Awards 2008 in the category "Outstanding ICT Initiative".
Oxford Spin-out Equity Management
Building on initial ideas by OSEM, we developed this completely new website and helped to arrange hosting.
University of Oxford Museums and Collections
We completely redesigned the website of the University of Oxford Museums and Collections. This new design showcases more fully the range of activities and programmes across all the University's museums and collections.
OxService Header Design
We designed a common visual identity to be used in the header of University-wide web services hosted by OUCS.
The design used photographs by KT Lindsay Photography.
Examples of Data Solutions
InfoDev provides the University's OxPoints service. OxPoints aims to provide full and accurate geolinking information for aspects of the University of Oxford. The OxPoints dataset consists of names, postal addresses, web addresses and co-ordinates (latitude and longitude) for all the departments, colleges and other buildings or units of the University, and much more, along with some of the relationships between them. OUCS has recently released its OxPoints dataset under the Creative Commons Zero license. This allows others to use and remix the data for any purpose with absolutely no restrictions. We hope that this will encourage greater reuse and integration both within the University and beyond. InfoDev is also working with other parts of the University to ease the publication of linked open data.
As part of an EU project they were involved with OUCS's InfoDev team were partly responsible for the creation of a web-based document format conversion service called 'OxGarage'. This allows you to convert Presentations, Spreadsheets, or Documents to and from a wide variety of formats through an easy-to-use web interface. For example, OxGarage can provide easy transformations from a Microsoft Word Document to TEI XML or a PDF Those with more technical leanings might be interested in knowing that it also has a RESTful web service API which allows scripting batch transformations or embedding in other services.
The Lexicon of Greek Personal Names was established in 1972 as a Major Research Project of the British Academy. The overall objective of the LGPN project is to create a comprehensive and authoritative record of the names of all individuals attested in Greek (or with Greek names attested in Latin) in the ancient Greek-speaking world, and so provide the classical research community world-wide with a unique and fundamental resource for the study of all aspects of the ancient Greek world.
LGPN is internationally recognised as a resource which has transformed the basis on which names may be studied and used. It has done so to date primarily through its publications; so far, over a quarter of a million individuals sharing over 35,000 names have been published in six regional volumes.
OUCS has been assisting the LGPN with its database, typesetting and (most recently) web presence since the early 1980s, and the project has successfully weathered 30 years of changes in humanities computing. InfoDev provides support and maintenance for the data development of the LGPN.
William Godwin's Diary
The William Godwin's Diary project has transcribed, edited, and annotated 48 years of William Godwin's diary from 1788-1836. The diary is a resource of immense importance to researchers of history, politics, literature, and women's studies. It maps the radical intellectual and political life of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, as well as providing extensive evidence on publishing relations, conversational coteries, artistic circles and theatrical production over the same period.
InfoDev team (http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/infodev/) provides research advice and support. It was involved in planning the funding bid for the project and helped them specify the technical components of the bid and assisted in specifying technical solutions that were both appropriate and feasible.
The InfoDev team provided a couple days training to the project both in a subset of the TEI Guidelines customised for the project's specific needs, as well as a version control system for collaborative editing.
Throughout the life of the project the InfoDev team was on hand to provide technical advice and support. The InfoDev team implemented the website based on the needs and directions of the project. This involved the installation and customisation of the eXist native XML database that powers the site, the construction of a wide range of queries to extract data, building a zooming image browser, creation of analytical tools, and implementation of the website itself.
ITLP Course Booking and Administration
InfoDev develops and maintains the course book and administration system for OUCS's IT Learning Programme.
Hardware Breakdown Service
In order to help track what machines are registered on the University's Computer Hardware Breakdown Service, InfoDev develops and maintains the administration interface for this service.
The OpenMeters project is a collaboration with the Estates Department to publish energy consumption information as linked data to aid awareness of the University's environmental sustainability responsibilities. This project retrieves electricity meter data and stores it in a database for easy visualization over time and comparison with earlier time periods.

Lambert-Eaton syndrome
Lambert-Eaton syndrome is a disorder in which faulty communication between nerves and muscles leads to muscle weakness.
Alternative Names
Myasthenic syndrome; Eaton-Lambert syndrome; Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome; LEMS
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Lambert-Eaton syndrome occurs when nerves cells do not release enough of a chemical called acetylcholine. This chemical transmits impulses between nerves and muscles.
The result is muscle weakness and other symptoms similar to myasthenia gravis. However, unlike myasthenia gravis, as the muscles continue to contract, acetylcholine can build up in large enough amounts for strength to improve slightly. Instead of the muscle getting quickly weaker as it contracts repeatedly, it gets stronger for a short period of time.
Lambert-Eaton syndrome may occur with cancers such as small-cell lung cancer or autoimmune disorders such as vitiligo, which leads to a loss of skin pigment
Symptoms may include:
- Weakness or loss of movement that can be more or less severe, including:
- Difficulty chewing
- Difficulty climbing stairs
- Difficulty lifting objects
- Difficulty talking
- Drooping head
- Need to use hands to get up from sitting or lying positions
- Swallowing difficulty, gagging, or choking
- Vision changes such as:
- Blurry vision
- Double vision
- Problems keeping a steady gaze
Symptoms related to the autonomic nervous system usually occur, and include:
- Blood pressure changes
- Dizziness upon standing
- Dry mouth
Signs and tests
A detailed medical history will be taken to determine risk factors, such as a history of certain cancers.
A physical examination shows:
- Decreased reflexes
- Possible loss of muscle tissue
- Weakness or paralysis that gets slightly better with activity
Tests to help diagnose and confirm the condition may include:
- Electromyography (EMG) to test the health of the muscle fibers
- Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) to test the speed of electrical activity along nerves
The main goals of treatment are to:
- Identify and treat any underlying disorders, such as lung cancer
- Give treatment to help with the weakness
A treatment called plasma exchange usually improves symptoms. Plasma exchange involves removing blood plasma from the body and replacing it with donated plasma. This helps to make sure that any harmful proteins (antibodies) that are interfering with nerve function are removed from the body.
Plasmapheresis may also be effective. During this treatment, the blood is removed from the body. The plasma is separated, the antibodies are removed, and the plasma is returned to the body.
Medications that suppress the immune response, such as prednisone, may improve symptoms in some cases. Medications may also include:
- Anticholinesterase medications such as neostigmine or pyridostigmine (although these are not very effective when given alone)
- 3, 4-diaminopyridine, which increase the release of acetylcholine from nerve cells
Expectations (prognosis)
The symptoms of Lambert-Eaton syndrome may improve by treating the underlying disease, suppressing the immune system, or removing the antibodies. However, not everyone responds well to treatment.
- Difficulty breathing, including respiratory failure
- Difficulty swallowing
- Infections, such as pneumonia
- Injuries from falls and problems with coordination
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if symptoms of this condition develop.

This conversation is closed.
How will this generation of social media break the chains of smartphones and computers and return to classic social interaction?
Before 2005 and Facebook, social interaction was different. Dating was personal and there were few websites and social media outlets that aided in connecting human beings. In many ways this techonology is great in connecting those in different geographic locations, but now it is so excessive that it is beginning to degrade the in-person social IQ of many. Specifically the generation of 15-25 year olds. When this social media trend ends, how will these people reintegrate themselves back into settings where a high social IQ is needed?
Closing Statement from Calvin Davis
It has always been self-evident that social media has improved the ways in which humans communicate. It is important to remember how to integrate this technology into classic human interaction, so that we do not allow this technology to be the reason in which we forget basic roots.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Jan 8 2013: As a young man of 23, I take a special interest in generalized statements about people of my generation and how this or that technology is affecting us socially, mentally, etc. Although it might be true that there are some people out there who have grown up to be socially awkward, they are the gross minority.
Gen Tech (my term, feel free to use) is a generation that has evolved in how we communicate. We still know how to communicate in person. We know how to make eye contact, how to use body language to indicate interest or disinterest, how to shake hands and how to comfort others; we also know how to communicate with and through technology. Ze Frank put it well in his talk Ze Frank's Web Playroom when he describes someone on the street scrolling through their phone when they get a Facebook message or a text message that makes them smile and laugh, or makes them sad. Ze Frank describes that as life being lived, just in a different environment.
My generation lives in two realms that parallel and compliment each other. When we meet our friends and family and partners in person, we shake hands, hug, kiss and welcome each other with smiles. When we talk to someone on Facebook or in a text, we say Goodmorning! with a :)
It is not a matter of our social IQ being degraded, it is a matter of the definition of social IQ needing to be redefined.
Jan 8 2013: Mitchell, I agree with you in many ways! It is nice to hear this side from a socially aware "Gen Tech" person. I totally agree that if used properly, the current social media network can bolster social IQ and redefine the way it is seen. Unfortunately, every Gen Tech person I run into is not as aware as you stated in your previous post as to the unforeseen positives and possibilities that are created by social media.
The most entertaining person to observe are those Gen Tech persons who are loud, boisterous and confident when online; yet when you meet them they slouch, curl into a ball and are a totally different person. Yes, social media gives that power and it is good in certain cases. I just hope that Gen Tech remains strong and can blend their internet persona with their in-person persona and create the ultimate social IQ in human interaction.
I do think this immediate flow of information we enjoy is great is many ways. Just like a man who carries a paper map to compliment his GPS, I hope that Gen Tech can remain in tune with being in-person social.
For me, this train of thought came about when I realize that there are 100s of Apps and dating sites out there, all with have revolution the way we see the world; and at the same time taking away some classic methods of social interaction.
I am interested to see Gen Tech embody that two realm social existence you spoke of. When effectively used in practice and execution, Gen Tech could be the best thing that ever happened. Conversely, it could also prove to be a hindrance.

Lovers of the NBA will be spending their Christmas holidays enthralled by the games being played over the festive season, given that less than 30 games have been played so far.

Repeated Auctions with the Right of First Refusal
AbstractThis paper characterizes a set of Nash equilibria in a first-price sealed-bid repeated auction with the right of first refusal using two bidders and asymmetric information regarding the bidders' value distributions. When contract value is constant from one auction to the next and winners' values are publicized, agents retain the value of incumbency and bids are identical to one-shot auctions. When each agent's contract values are random across auctions, agents choose to bid away the full expected value of incumbency, providing a measure of the value of information in this context.

CP-NET Science & Family Day
October 01, 2014 - 9:00 AM
Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital
In celebration of World Cerebral Palsy Day (World CP Day), The Ontario Federation for Cerebral Palsy invites you to take part in the upcoming Creating Possibilities for CP: CP-NET Science & Family Day taking place on October 1st, 2014 at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital. The day will consist of the latest CP-NET research and technology advancements and will also have an open house of community organizations to allow families to connect, network, and learn more about resources in the community! For more details and to register, please click here.
It is inherent in our everyday life. How to get to work, what to make for dinner, which movie to see – All things that, looked at individually, don't amount to much in a day. Collectively, this ability to make choices throughout life, leads to something very powerful: confidence and empowerment. The right to make a mistake and the right to risk. These are the things that shape us and create a sense of autonomy.
For a person with a disability, choice is a gift we see too little of. Where to live, who provides care, where to go to school…
At OFCP, we are committed to supporting people with cerebral palsy and their families. We are committed to assisting our members in creating opportunities that involve choice and self-determination. Choice is fundamental to growth, relationships and quality of life.
To support choice, we ask you, as a member of our community, to make a choice as well. One bag of clothes, two bags of clothes… Individually, they may not amount to much, but collectively they amount to something huge. Your donation creates awareness, support and choice for our members.
At OFCP, we choose to hire the best telephone representatives, drivers and the best confirmers to create a positive experience for your pick up service. We commit to customer service, making it easy for you to make a commitment to us. Together, we create choice and change.
Please make us your free pick up service of choice.

21 Day Fix is a new workout regime designed to optimize fat loss, and promises rapid transformation. Lose Weight Workout has published a new review exploring the new regime.
El Monte, CA, United States of America – May 15, 2014 /MarketersMedia/ —
Autumn Calabrese is a fitness and nutrition expert who has combined and optimized her powers into a workout regime that is arguably the most effective ever created for cutting body fat. Whether individuals want to lose weight or gain definition, the 21 Day Fix claims remarkable results in just three weeks. Lose Weight Workout is a website that is dedicated to helping those who want to lose weight by getting fit find the right regime for them, and has published a guide to what people need to know about 21 Day Fix.
The editorial explains that 21 Day Fix offers a fitness based workout regime that attacks different areas of the body, with a specific focus on toning problem areas to help people lose inches from their thighs, waist and arms while developing muscle tone underneath. It also has easy to follow portion control containers that allow individuals to prepare the food they should be eating in minutes, leaving no doubt as to what to eat when.
The article also describes how 21 Day Fix uses a KISS approach that takes away any ambiguity and makes it as easy to follow as possible. The diet and fitness combination is what has been missing from many fitness regimes, and this is the most comprehensive to come from the BeachBody franchise yet.
A spokesperson for Lose Weight Workout explained, "Lose Weight Workout was created as if waiting for 21 Day Fix to be invented. We believe it has a complete solution to all the problems our users are out there fighting with. A diet plan that doesn't interact well with exercise leaves people low in both mood and energy, while an exercise regime that requires thousands of calories to undertake leaves people maintaining or even gaining weight. 21 Day Fix synergizes the two elements in an easy portion-control format, making it the most exciting product on the market in years."
About Lose Weight Workout:
Lose Weight Workout is a website designed to help those who want to cut fat through exercise find the right ways to do so among the many competing brands of exercise regimes in the current market. The site regularly reviews new products and includes information designed to help consumers make informed buying choices.

So, maybe Steve Blake isn't to be messed with …
Category: Uncategorized
From ClipperBlog comes a video on last night's miniature dust-up between Steve Blake and the Bucks.
The part that stands out to me is how easily Blake tosses aside Ersan Ilyasova. Which makes sense, from a guy who trains with Mixed Martial Artists. Check out the 1:15 point in the video below.
About the Author (Author Profile)Jeremy Schmidt writes the Milwaukee Bucks blog Bucksketball. He founded it in January of 2009 because he hated his job. It's like basketball, but with Bucks instead of basket. I know ... I'm sorry. He might come off as a bit negative, but I'm really not so bad. He just wants the Bucks to succeed, so he points out areas where they are coming up short. Someone has got to do it and he's ornery and opinionated enough to take on that task. He isn't sure if this should be in third person or not. Contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com if you must use e-mail.

Great job by Marc Davis last night. I guess tossing Ersan aside is a no-call.

While the top six players remain unchanged in TSN Scout Craig Button's February draft ranking, goaltender Zachary Fucale became the third member of the Halifax Mooseheads to move into the top 10.
Fucale, who was rated 14th in January, moved into the 10th spot this month.
"I have always thought of Fucale as an elite goaltender but that point was driven home to me as I watched him on Friday night in Baie Comeau against a very good Drakkar team," Button told TSN.ca. "He performs at the most critical times and affords his team the opportunity to emerge victorious."
Seth Jones, who plays for the WHL's Portland Winterhawks, remains at the top of Button's list with 41 points and a plus-33 rating in 43 games this season.
Furcal's Moosehead teammates are both in the Top 5, with Nate MacKinnon ranked No. 2, while Jonathan Drouin remains at No. 4.
Rounding out the Top 5 is Finnish forward Aleksander Barkov at No. 3 and Russian winger Valeri Nichushkin, who claims No. 5.
Rounding out the Top 10 are Ottawa 67's forward Sean Monahan, Swedish winger Elias Lindholm, defenceman Nikita Zadorov of the London Knights, Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds defenceman Darnell Nurse and Fucale.
London Knights forward Bo Horvat was one of the biggest movers this month, rising to No. 22 after being ranked 30th in January.
"Horvat may have taken a jump ahead but I don't think I was giving him enough credit for being the strong, all around player he is," Button said. "He is a player who can play multiple positions on your team and perform in multiple situations. He competes and helps you win."
Portland forward Nic Petan moved all the way from No. 43 to 31.
"Petan is an excellent playmaker who has quick feet and hands and a mind to match," Button stated. "He plays in all situations and excels, has the ability to make others better and is a very difficult player to keep in check.
"He gives me every indication that come the next Craig's List, he will find himself in the top 30."
