The learning aims for Loyola's special education program are as follows:
Special educators understand the field as an evolving and changing discipline based on philosophies, evidence-based principles and theories, relevant laws and policies, diverse and historical points of view, and human issues that have historically influenced and continue to influence the field of special education and the education and treatment of individuals with exceptional needs both in school and society. Special educators understand how these influence professional practice, including assessment, instructional planning, implementation, and program evaluation. Special educators understand how issues of human diversity can impact families, cultures, and schools, and how these complex human issues can interact with issues in the delivery of special education services. They understand the relationships of organizations of special education to the organizations and functions of schools, school systems, and other agencies. Special educators use this knowledge as a ground upon which to construct their own personal understandings and philosophies of special education.
Special educators know and demonstrate respect for their students first as unique human beings. Special educators understand the similarities and differences in human development and the characteristics between and among individuals with and without exceptional learning needs (ELN). Moreover, special educators understand how exceptional conditions can interact with the domains of human development and they use this knowledge to respond to the varying abilities and behaviors of individual's with ELN. Special educators understand how the experiences of individuals with ELN can impact families, as well as the individual's ability to learn, interact socially, and live as fulfilled contributing members of the community.
Special educators understand the effects that an exceptional condition can have on an individual's learning in school and throughout life. Special educators understand that the beliefs, traditions, and values across and within cultures can affect relationships among and between students, their families, and the school community. Moreover, special educators are active and resourceful in seeking to understand how primary language, culture, and familial backgrounds interact with the individual's exceptional condition to impact the individual's academic and social abilities, attitudes, values, interests, and career options. The understanding of these learning differences and their possible interactions provide the foundation upon which special educators individualize instruction to provide meaningful and challenging learning for individuals with ELN.
Special educators possess a repertoire of evidence-based instructional strategies to individualize instruction for individuals with ELN. Special educators select, adapt, and use these instructional strategies to promote challenging learning results in general and special curricula and to appropriately modify learning environments for individuals with ELN. They enhance the learning of critical thinking, problem solving, and performance skills of individuals with ELN, and increase their self-awareness, self-management, self-control, self-reliance, and self-esteem. Moreover, special educators emphasize the development, maintenance, and generalization of knowledge and skills across environments, settings, and the lifespan.
Special educators actively create learning environments for individuals with ELN that foster cultural understanding, safety and emotional well being, positive social interactions, and active engagement of individuals with ELN. In addition, special educators foster environments in which diversity is valued and individuals are taught to live harmoniously and productively in a culturally diverse world. Special educators shape environments to encourage the independence, self-motivation, self-direction, personal empowerment, and self-advocacy of individuals with ELN. Special educators help their general education colleagues integrate individuals with ELN in regular environments and engage them in meaningful learning activities and interactions. Special educators use direct motivational and instructional interventions with individuals with ELN to teach them to respond effectively to current expectations. When necessary, special educators can safely intervene with individuals with ELN in crisis. Special educators coordinate all these efforts and provide guidance and direction to paraeducators and others, such as classroom volunteers and tutors.
Special educators understand typical and atypical language development and the ways in which exceptional conditions can interact with an individual's experience with and use of language. Special educators use individualized strategies to enhance language development and teach communication skills to individuals with ELN. Special educators are familiar with augmentative, alternative, and assistive technologies to support and enhance communication of individuals with exceptional needs. Special educators match their communication methods to an individual's language proficiency and cultural and linguistic differences. Special educators provide effective language models, and they use communication strategies and resources to facilitate understanding of subject matter for individuals with ELN whose primary language is not English.
Individualized decision-making and instruction is at the center of special education practice. Special educators develop long-range individualized instructional plans anchored in both general and special curricula. In addition, special educators systematically translate these individualized plans into carefully selected shorter-range goals and objectives taking into consideration an individual's abilities and needs, the learning environment, and a myriad of cultural and linguistic factors. Individualized instructional plans emphasize explicit modeling and efficient guided practice to assure acquisition and fluency through maintenance and generalization. Understanding of these factors as well as the implications of an individual's exceptional condition, guides the special educator's selection, adaptation, and creation of materials, and the use of powerful instructional variables. Instructional plans are modified based on ongoing analysis of the individual's learning progress. Moreover, special educators facilitate this instructional planning in a collaborative context including the individuals with exceptionalities, families, professional colleagues, and personnel from other agencies as appropriate. Special educators also develop a variety of individualized transition plans, such as transitions from preschool to elementary school and from secondary settings to a variety of postsecondary work and learning contexts. Special educators are comfortable using appropriate technologies to support instructional planning and individualized instruction.
Assessment is integral to the decision-making and teaching of special educators and special educators use multiple types of assessment information for a variety of educational decisions. Special educators use the results of assessments to help identify exceptional learning needs and to develop and implement individualized instructional programs, as well as to adjust instruction in response to ongoing learning progress. Special educators understand the legal policies and ethical principles of measurement and assessment related to referral, eligibility, program planning, instruction, and placement for individuals with ELN, including those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Special educators understand measurement theory and practices for addressing issues of validity, reliability, norms, bias, and interpretation of assessment results. In addition, special educators understand the appropriate use and limitations of various types of assessments. Special educators collaborate with families and other colleagues to assure non-biased, meaningful assessments and decision-making. Special educators conduct formal and informal assessments of behavior, learning, achievement, and environments to design learning experiences that support the growth and development of individuals with ELN. Special educators use assessment information to identify supports and adaptations required for individuals with ELN to access the general curriculum and to participate in school, system, and statewide assessment programs. Special educators regularly monitor the progress of individuals with ELN in general and special curricula. Special educators use appropriate technologies to support their assessments.
Special educators are guided by the profession's ethical and professional practice standards. Special educators practice in multiple roles and complex situations across wide age and developmental ranges. Their practice requires ongoing attention to legal matters along with serious professional and ethical considerations. Special educators engage in professional activities and participate in learning communities that benefit individuals with ELN, their families, colleagues, and their own professional growth. Special educators view themselves as lifelong learners and regularly reflect on and adjust their practice. Special educators are aware of how their own and others attitudes, behaviors, and ways of communicating can influence their practice. Special educators understand that culture and language can interact with exceptionalities, and are sensitive to the many aspects of diversity of individuals with ELN and their families. Special educators actively plan and engage in activities that foster their professional growth and keep them current with evidence-based best practices. Special educators know their own limits of practice and practice within them.
Special educators routinely and effectively collaborate with families, other educators, related service providers, and personnel from community agencies in culturally responsive ways. This collaboration assures that the needs of individuals with ELN are addressed throughout schooling. Moreover, special educators embrace their special role as advocate for individuals with ELN. Special educators promote and advocate the learning and well being of individuals with ELN across a wide range of settings and a range of different learning experiences. Special educators are viewed as specialists by a myriad of people who actively seek their collaboration to effectively include and teach individuals with ELN. Special educators are a resource to their colleagues in understanding the laws and policies relevant to Individuals with ELN. Special educators use collaboration to facilitate the successful transitions of individuals with ELN across settings and services.

MUHLENBERG COUNTY, Ky. (10/1/13) – The many legendary Muhlenberg guitar thumbpickers would have been proud of the two big nights of phenomenal music enjoyed this weekend at the Merle Travis Music Center.
With award winners from as far away as Japan, (Horizon Award Co-winner Shohei Toyoda) and audience members from Ontario, California, New Hampshire, and beyond... the 25th Anniversary of the National Thumbpickers Hall of Fame Awards was truly a pickers' paradise.
On Friday night, 2013 winners were announced, joining a list of names like Muhlenberg County natives Mose Rager, Merle Travis and Ike Everly, along with stars who learned the Muhlenberg picking style and took it worldwide, such as Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed and Grandpa Jones.
The Hall of Fame winners list this year included Comer "Moon" Mullins, for Best Living Thumbpicker, JD Norman, inducted posthumously for his guitar talent, Tommy Emmanuel was voted Thumbpicker of the Year, Album of the Year honors went to John Knowles, Best Supporting Musicians were Bernard "Bear" Travis and Michael Moseley, and Supporting Fan awards went to Jim & Diane Miller. Shohei Toyoda, of Japan, shared the Horizon Award with Sojourner McClure, and the President's Award went to Lana Moseley and Penny Pennington.
Saturday night, a standing-room-only crowd enjoyed a second night of Muhlenberg music capped off by one of this year's inductees into the Country Music Hall of Fame, Bobby Bare, who joked, "Heck, I ought to get a thumbpickers award...heck, I do use my thumb to play."
Bare also noted that he was honored to be voted into the Country Music Hall of Fame the same year as close friend Kenny Rogers.
"Shoot, I already thought Kenny was done in the Country Music Hall of Fame 25 years ago... until they announced his name." Bare added with a laugh.
Bare proceeded to bring the crowd to their feet with his long string of hits including "Detroit City", "500 Miles Away from Home, "Marie Laveau" and "God Bless America Again".
Other Saturday evening performers included Scott Taylor, Pat Kirtley, Paul Moseley, Freddie Russel, John Knowles, Ben Hall and Mark Thornton.
Surprise guest Thom Bresh, the son of the late music legend Merle Travis, please the crowd with a song Bresh wrote in honor of his father, "Guitar in The Window", and "Reed Between the Lines", a tribute to Hall of Fame member, Jerry Reed, who passed away five years ago.
One delightful addition to this year's show was the Endless Road Strings", who added a whole new dimension to several of the pickers' set, proving that classical strings and back country thumbpicking can combine to create a whole new sound that the audience loved.
Hall of Fame Executive Director Joe Hudson noted the 25th year for the awards show was a huge success. Hudson has marveled at the event's growth from the start, when it was held in the Drakesboro school gym, Paradise Park, "and local resident Clarence Brewer was even nice enough to let us have it on his property a few times."
Now, with sellout crowds each year at the Merle Travis Music Center, many who attended this weekend's show are likely already making their plans to attend the 26th annual event in 2014.
Hudson noted that there is more legendary music , with coming to the center October 19th, when Country Music Hall of Fame member, and world famous harmonica player Charlie McCoy comes to the Merle Travis Music Center.
McCoy has played session work for decades with the likes of Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Paul Simon, Ringo Starr, and won a Grammy for his album, "The Real McCoy",

Waste Site Cleanup & Reuse in New England
Goodwin Estates
Success in EPA Brownfields Assessment Grant Program
Hartford, CT
(July 10, 2003)
The city of Hartford's Department of Housing and Community Development (Property Acquisition and Disposition Division) utilized $25,000 from an EPA Brownfield Assessment Grant to conduct an environmental site assessment of the "Goodwin Estates" property in 1997. In 2000 the city also received $250,000 from the Capital City Economics Development Authority (CCEDA) to fund other assessment work and remove the asbestos, oil tanks, and transformers. The city utilized these funds to determine if contamination from a dump site and the on-site laboratories existed. In the summer of 2004, the redevelopment of this 17-acre property will be complete and will consist of a renovated historic mansion with seven condos, meeting space, and a health club for the residents as well as 20 additional buildings that will house 56 new townhouses.
In the West End neighborhood of Hartford, the "Goodwin Estates" property has been an eyesore since the University of Connecticut abandoned their agricultural facilities in 1989. The property at 1280 Asylum Avenue housed chemical laboratory facilities in the 1960's and 1970's. Remnants of a historic mansion (which was built in the 1920s) and contaminated soil remained. The property had potential for reuse if it could be cleaned up and redeveloped. The city of Hartford's original plan was to clean up the property and build 63 luxury apartment units.
Shortly after the site was abandoned in 1989, the city of Hartford purchased the property. The mansion burned down prior to the city's purchase of the land. Following purchase, the city conducted some preliminary demolition and cleanup of what remained of the interior of mansion and removed asbestos. The preliminary cleanup costs were about $250,000 and the city funded the cost through state bond funds and state brownfields funds. The city also demolished two sheds on the property that were already in disrepair. During the removal process, the city found oil burners, metals, and other contaminants. The city solicited a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the remaining cleanup work (including cleaning up what was found in the removal process) and redevelopment of this site in late 2000 and early 2001. The city awarded the bid to Ginsburg, a development company, and the contractor broke ground on the project in January 2003.
The redevelopment will be complete in the summer of 2004 and will improve the appearance of the former brownfields site. Anticipated sale prices of the townhouses in the development will range from $368,000 to $423,000 and the condominiums in the mansion will range from $266,000 to $320,000. This project will increase property tax revenue by approximately $400,000 annually. The city of Hartford successfully collaborated with the USEPA, Capital City Economics Development Authority (a quasi-public authority formed to direct state-supported economic development projects), and many city departments in the cleanup and redevelopment of the property.

Improving Cardiovascular Disease Outcomes
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common type of irregular heartbeat. Normally, the heart beats in a strong, steady rhythm. In people with AF, a problem with the heart's electrical system causes the two upper parts of the heart (called the atria) to quiver, or fibrillate.
For some AF patients (many of whom also need mitral valve surgery) a procedure called cardiac catheterization ablation may help lower the their risk of stroke and death. But how effective is this approach?

In the long march toward a more parliamentary and partisan Washington, National Journal's 2010 congressional vote ratings mark a new peak of polarization.
For only the second time since 1982, when NJ began calculating the ratings in their current form, every Senate Democrat compiled a voting record more liberal than every Senate Republican—and every Senate Republican compiled a voting record more conservative than every Senate Democrat. Even Nebraska's Ben Nelson, the most conservative Democrat in the rankings, produced an overall voting record slightly to the left of the most moderate Republicans last year: Ohio's George Voinovich and Maine's Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe. The Senate had been that divided only once before, in 1999.
But the overall level of congressional polarization last year was the highest the index has recorded, because the House was much more divided in 2010 than it was in 1999. Back then, more than half of the chamber's members compiled voting records between the most liberal Republican and the most conservative Democrat. In 2010, however, the overlap between the parties in the House was less than in any previous index.
Just five House Republicans in 2010 generated vote ratings more liberal than the most conservative House Democrat, Gene Taylor of Mississippi. Just four Democrats produced ratings more conservative than the most liberal Republican, Joseph Cao of Louisiana. Every other House Republican produced a more conservative vote rating than every other House Democrat, even though a substantial number of those Democrats pursued a relatively moderate course overall. Of the nine members who were outliers last year, only one—Republican Walter Jones of North Carolina—is still in Congress. That makes him the only lawmaker in the House or Senate this year to have a 2010 vote rating out of sync with his party.
The results document another leap forward in the fusion of ideology and partisanship that has remade Congress over the past three decades, the period tracked by NJ's vote ratings. For most of American history, the two parties operated as ramshackle coalitions that harbored diverse and even antithetical views. Each party's Senate caucus housed ideological antagonists, such as progressive Democratic titan Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota and segregationist stalwart Richard Russell of Georgia, or New Right Republican firebrand Jesse Helms of North Carolina and silk-stocking New York City liberal Jacob Javits. Such contrasts are not extinct. But since the early 1980s, they have vastly diminished as the differences within each party have narrowed and the distance between them has widened.
Over that period, "it's just a straight, linear increase" in congressional polarization, says Gary Jacobson, a University of California (San Diego) political scientist who specializes in Congress. "There's a little bit of bumping around in the numbers here and there, but the basic movement is toward the parties moving further and further apart. The 1970s are a high point of all the cross-party [coalitions]. The last three decades are ones of pulling apart."
In 2010, the vote ratings show, the ideological consolidation was greater among Republicans than Democrats. Almost without exception House Republicans generated strongly conservative voting records, regardless of the demography or political leanings of their districts. By contrast, House Democrats from districts that voted for John McCain in 2008 or are dominated by working-class whites produced much less liberal records than their colleagues from districts that strongly supported Barack Obama or are more racially diverse and well educated. In the Senate, just eight Republicans notched a composite conservative score of less than 70, while 21 Democrats received a liberal ranking of less than 70.
The results capture the continued remaking of Congress into an institution defined by much greater partisan discipline and philosophical conformity. Occasionally, legislators can still build idiosyncratic coalitions across party lines, as occurred during some of the votes on the free-wheeling House debate over spending earlier this month. Likewise, a bipartisan group of senators is attempting to build a cross-party alliance to advance the recommendations of President Obama's debt-reduction commission.
But increasingly, on the biggest issues, the parties line up in virtual lockstep against each other, as they did on many of the key measures in the 2010 rankings, such as the Senate votes on health care and financial-services reform. (Even on the House's final vote last weekend on funding the government through September, every Democrat voted in opposition and all but three Republicans voted in support.) All of this is fundamentally changing the way Congress gets things done—when it gets things done at all. "If you are the whip in either party you are liking this, [because] it makes your job easier," says Mississippi Republican Trent Lott, the former Senate majority leader (and before that the GOP Senate whip). "In terms of getting things done for the country, that's not the case."

Etro / Fall 2012 Ready-to-Wear
Search a show by:
This is the thing about going to the collections; sometimes what can seem like a one-off notion gains traction, and before you know it, it's shaping up to be one of the more insistent impulses coursing through the shows. That said, it's not always necessarily because of its prevalence, but because it stands out as something different. Such is the case with the neo–Edwardian dandy suiting, by way of the sixties and seventies, that made an appearance at Etro, having already strode out with such conviction on a few runways of late that it might as well have been confidently twirling a cane. (These are the women's collections after all; you wouldn't expect any twirling of a mustache.) Thankfully, it's a lot less historicist than it sounds. At Prada, for instance, Miuccia Prada turned it into lean high-button jackets with cropped kick-flare pants worn with nineties club-kid platform shoes. (Shoes are having a very Leigh Bowery/Michael Alig moment right now.)
Meanwhile, at Etro, Veronica Etro did it her way, by incorporating it into her new idea of print dressing, a category the house has owned since, well, forever: a longer, leaner, body-conscious line (her killer velvet evening dresses, for instance) that allows for all sorts of interplay with pattern (paisley, specifically) and three-dimensional shaping (peplums-as-belts galore, over pencil skirts). Her foppish tailoring was, she said backstage, a way of feminizing the masculine suit, so she made her jackets—in velvet, jacquard, and tweed—sharply waisted and jutting at the hips, then partnered them with supernarrow trousers. Elsewhere, she buttoned a shapely frock coat over the same pants and turned the gentleman's silk scarf into a fur collar layered with a sizeable jet necklace. It's interesting, this idea of transforming men's suiting, albeit from another era, to make it look so curvaceous. For the longest time, the impulse was to look coolly louche and androgyne in pieces borrowed directly from the boys, but this reverts to the idea of making men's clothes look distinctly shaped for a woman's body. And even more interesting is that that impulse is coming from two female designers with very different viewpoints. Whatever is driving this, one thing is for sure: your boyfriend's/husband's/brother's closets just became no-go zones.

This probe, Able VA, had a slightly different instrument complement from that of its predecessor Able IVB (launched in November 1959), but it had similar mission goals.
Able VA was to enter lunar orbit about 62.5 hours after launch with parameters of 4,000 x 2,250 kilometers in a period of 10 hours. During the launch, although the first stage performed without problems, the Able second stage ignited abnormally and shut down early because of an oxidizer system failure. The third stage never fired, and the probe burned up in Earth's atmosphere 17 minutes after launch.
Although the mission was a failure, ground controllers fired Able VA's onboard
liquid propellant hydrazine rocket engine -- the first time that an onboard motor was fired
on a space vehicle. Later, on 15 November 1960, NASA announced that two objects from the Able VA payload had been found in Transvaal, South Africa.

Despite the severe drought covering two-thirds of the country, we still have vegetables to harvest, perennials to deadhead and clean-up chores to do so that gardens thrive next spring.
Hopefully, Evelyn Garriss' report on an El Nino shaping up will give gardeners great hope for future flowers and smiles. And, rain!
My tomato crop is sparse this summer. Intense heat, no rain and hot nights significantly reduced blossom set. Tomato and sweet pepper pollen goes sterile when nights are above 75F and daytime temperatures soar above 90F. What fruits have set did so during the occasional "cool" spell with nights in the 60's. I estimate my harvest is only about 25 percent of normal. Tomatoes are smaller than usual, too, with thick, tough skins. But, fruit flavor is outstanding. Heat builds sugars and other compounds that give tomatoes their nuanced flavors. However, the same extreme heat sucks all the moisture out of the flesh and tomatoes are shriveling on the vines. I'm picking them green, as soon as a hint of color appears, and letting them ripen indoors to prevent desiccation. Sweet peppers have heat, and the harvest is scant. Cucumbers were a total disaster. No blooms set, and vines browned quickly, despite several plantings.
If I don't pick tomatoes green and ripen them indoors, they lose all moisture in the intense heat and shrivel. The heat makes the skins thick and tough, too.
Looking forward to fall crops, I'm freezing seeds and cooling soil. Salad greens can be tricky to start, because garden soil is too hot. The same with radishes and sugar snap peas. My raised veggie beds were 89F when I inserted a soil thermometer this morning. And, that's with six inches of straw mulch. I put another six inches of straw on the bed where I'll plant salad radishes and peas, and I'll freeze seeds for at least two weeks. This tricks an internal mechanism that allows seeds to germinate in warm ground. Seeds can also be started indoors in flats where it's cool and transplanted into the garden about ten days after germination. I'll water daily, unless the El Nino rains show up. I plant many lettuces in large pots and window boxes, too, and place them in the shade to keep soil temperatures down.
You can chill soil in containers before planting frozen lettuce seeds to insure germination in this torrid late summer.
Be sure to choose winter or cold-hardy lettuce varieties that take temperatures down into the 20's with little or no protection. If you are planting seeds at the end of August, an early October cold snap isn't unusual. Any Batavian, Romaine, butterhead lettuce like Spotted Trout and Boston, Black Seed Simpson, Oakleaf looseleaf and Baby's Leaf spinach are good choices. When the thermometer dips below freezing, lay an old bed sheet or floating row cover directly over the greens for added protection.
Sierra Batavian head lettuce is an excellent fall choice to plant. Not only does it tolerate heat, but it's cold-hardy, too.
Next blog I'll cover the second half of the topic, including harvesting veggies for storage early, flower tactics and what to buy for next spring now.

Police in Superior find missing snowmobiler
Superior - A snowmobiler who had been missing in the Superior area since Saturday has been found safe, but suffering from the effects of cold weather.
Police said Craig Friebe, 51, was found Monday morning on the ice of the Nemadji River. He was taken to a hospital with symptoms of frostbite and hypothermia.
Friebe was able to identify himself to responders and tell them his snowmobile ran out of fuel. He'd been walking since then, but it wasn't clear for how long. He was found about 20 miles from where he'd last been seen.
Authorities spent all day Sunday looking for him. They had suspended their search at nightfall and had resumed the search Monday morning. (1)
Manson's shtick tired, performance strong in too-short show
The ghoulish makeup, freaky costumes and grandiose theatricality that made Marilyn Manson such an edgy novelty in the '90s, are, in 2013, mere obligations. At least that's how they came across Friday night at a near-capacity Eagles Ballroom for the first night of Manson's 2013 U.S. tour.
There was one single visual display in Manson's show that was dramatically inspired - the sight of the shock rocker standing at a microphone under a spotlight, as what looked like snow gently landed atop a black, wide-brim hat as he performed "Coma White." But beyond that, the visual signatures were unimaginative, and often cheap. Manson looked unintentionally silly dressed like an archbishop, blasting what looked like a fire extinguisher into the crowd, during "The Love Song." A later outfit was even goofier - a Goth variation of the cop get-up from the Village People - worn without irony during the crowd-pleasing climax "The Beautiful People."
Before Manson's cover of "Personal Jesus," there was an underwhelming release of six little balloons that took a speedy journey up to the ceiling of the ballroom. And for "mOBSCENE," Manson utilized a low-tech digital sign, the kind you'd find at a school or gas station; it spelled out "REAP" and "RPAE" (I was waiting for "PEAR") in between archaic little animations. »Read Full Article(4)
MSO shows audience the power of Gershwin's 'Rhapsody'
Umpteen airline commercials and soundtrack appearances haven't dimmed the splendor of George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue." Few orchestral works are both so stirring and so much fun at the same time, as the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra and pianist Stephen Beus proved Friday night at the Marcus Center's Uihlein Hall.
Conductor Francesco Lecce-Chong and the players brought a playful swagger to the rhapsody, beginning with Todd Levy's take on its famed clarinet opening. Levy played exquisitely, and with a lively facial animation that would have been at home on a '20s bandstand.
Not yet 30, it was easy to see Beus at the piano as a stand-in for the composer, bringing something of jazz into the concert hall. Beus played as if he knew every note from the inside, with complete control of speed and dynamics, with a young man's power but also a gentle caress when called for. »Read Full Article(1)
Federal court of appeals upholds Walker's Act 10 union law
Madison - A federal court of appeals on Friday upheld Wisconsin's law repealing most collective bargaining for most public employees, handing a victory to Gov. Scott Walker and his fellow Republicans who put the law in place amid tumult two years ago.
Parts of the collective bargaining law, known as Act 10, remain on hold because of a state judge's ruling in a separate case, but Friday's decision was a setback for public employees and their unions.
Last year, U.S. District Judge William M. Conley largely upheld the legislation but struck down parts of Act 10 dealing with prohibitions on government employers withholding union dues from workers' paychecks as well as a section requiring labor unions to vote to recertify yearly. A three-judge panel of the U.S. Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago reversed that lower court's ruling in a split decision Friday that upheld the law in its entirety. »Read Full Article(1315)
Haas molded museum memories from plaster
Ray Haas, a plasterer for more than 40 years, didn't think it was such a big deal that he worked on Milwaukee Public Museum exhibits such as the igloo and the Streets of Old Milwaukee.
But his family - grandchildren, visiting relatives - made a point of visiting the igloo, pointing it out to visitors ("Grandpa made that," they'd say) and having photos taken beside it. Then, he thought the igloo was kind of, well, cool.
Haas, who also crafted plaster storefronts in the Streets of Old Milwaukee and created craggy stalagmites and stalactites in a cave exhibit at the museum, died of natural causes Jan. 12 at a nursing home in Menomonee Falls, where he lived. He was 91. »Read Full Article
Jude turns self in on domestic violence warrant
Frank Jude Jr., whose brutal beating by off-duty Milwaukee police officers led to the convictions of seven officers and a multimillion-dollar lawsuit settlement with the city, is again facing domestic violence-related charges.
Jude, 33, who has been convicted and served prison time for domestic violence, turned himself in to Milwaukee police Friday, WTMJ-TV (Channel 4) reported.
An arrest warrant had been issued for Jude, who was charged Jan. 4 with violation of a domestic abuse injunction, according to state court records.
Jude was beaten by the officers at a house party in October 2004 after being accused of stealing a police badge. Three officers convicted in federal court for the beating received 15-year prison terms. (6)
Deputy cleared in wounding of man with shotgun
A Waukesha County sheriff's deputy who shot and wounded a man who refused to drop a shotgun he was holding acted justifiably and in self-defense, District Attorney Brad Schimel has ruled.
Deputy Michael Dowd, a 22-year-veteran of the sheriff's department, shot Justin Ebbe, 31, after deputies were sent to a home in the Town of Delafield on Jan. 8.
A relative of Ebbe reported that he was suicidal and had discharged the weapon inside the home. After deputies arrived, Ebbe refused orders to drop the weapon he was pointing at the relative and was shot by Dowd, the sheriff's department said.

Man gets life term for beating child to death
A Milwaukee man who gained attention for overcoming poverty and a broken home to earn a scholarship from Purdue University was sentenced Friday to life in prison, without any chance for supervised release.
Corey Benson, 28, was convicted in March of killing his girlfriend's 2-year-old son in 2011 and severely injuring the boy in 2010.

Complaints detail gang plot to kill Milwaukee police officers
Members of the La Familia gang hatched a plot to kill the leader of a rival gang and at least two Milwaukee police officers, according to criminal complaints.
One of the Milwaukee officers was a relative of the alleged gang target, Robert R. Lopez, who is the leader of Los Primos and goes by the street name "Puppet."
Charged with conspiracy to commit first-degree intentional homicide were: Gabriel Guerrero, 24, of West Allis; and Michael Anthony Geluk, 21, Eliezer Cruz Jr., 20, Joe J. Frazier, 20, and Maricela M.

Land purchase opens access to river green space
Just half an acre in size, it was the only missing link in a chain of public access to the Milwaukee River.
The River Revitalization Foundation's recent purchase of the parcel along Riverboat Road, immediately downstream of the former Wheelhouse restaurant property, closes the last gap of direct access to the water and shore between the city's RiverWalk and 800 acres of undeveloped green space north of North Ave., foundation Executive Director Kimberly Gleffe said.
When the parcel is combined with the foundation's three-acre Wheelhouse property this spring or summer, the as-yet-unnamed park becomes the public's southern entrance to green space along the river, a gateway to the Milwaukee River Greenway, Gleffe said. »Read Full Article(7)

Johnson Controls profit drops, shares fall
Shares of Johnson Controls fell 3% Friday after the company warned that a slowdown in European automotive production would hurt earnings in the quarter that just began.
Johnson Controls Inc. (JCI) reported a 16.5% drop in first-quarter earnings and said earnings in the fiscal second quarter wouldn't meet investment analysts' current forecast.
The Glendale-based Fortune 100 company said it is expecting a rebound in the second half of the fiscal year that ends Sept. 30, but it's seeing lower demand in Europe because of the economic woes and lower automotive production there. Johnson Controls announced moves last fall to restructure its European operations to cut costs and improve profitability. »Read Full Blog Post(5)
Corey Hart to undergo knee surgery, will miss start of season
The Brewers' situation at first base changed Friday when they learned Corey Hart will need knee surgery that will make him miss at least the first six weeks of the 2013 season.
Hart, who had surgery on his right knee last spring to repair cartilage damage, experienced swelling in that same knee during recent offseason workouts and was examined in Phoenix by team physician William Raasch. An MRI was performed that revealed a defect in the joint surface.
Raasch will perform surgery Tuesday in Milwaukee to repair that defect, knocking Hart out of action for three to four months from the time of the procedure. Hart's rehabilitation will include bearing no weight on the knee for six weeks or so, taking him into early March. At that point, he is expected to need six to eight weeks to get ready to play. »Read Full Blog Post(167)

60,000 jar shipment puts Hunger Task Force closer to peanut butter collection goal
On Jan. 3, the Hunger Task Force issued a public call for donations of peanut butter, and two weeks later, on Friday, the organization's ship came in. Or rather its truck.
Food giant ConAgra trucked 60,000 jars of Peter Pan peanut butter, getting the Hunger Task Force more than halfway to its goal of 100,000 jars.
A drought, recall and rising food prices had left Hunger Task Force with a shortage of peanut butter. Food pantries and homeless shelters consider peanut butter a nearly perfect food because it provides significant calories, can be eaten for any meal, doesn't require a can opener and appeals to people of all ages. »Read Full Article(9)

Father sentenced to life for suffocating son
A young Milwaukee father with a history of mental health problems was sentenced Friday to life in prison for the suffocation death of his toddler son.
Aaron D. Allen, 20, will not be eligible for supervised release for 30 years, under the sentence imposed by Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Ellen Brostrom. He was found guilty in November of first degree intentional homicide in the death of Aaron Allen Jr. on Oct. 9, 2011.
Allen told police he suffocated his son with a sock while spending the night with the boy's mother, Thelma Walton. Allen woke Walton and told her the boy had stopped breathing. Allen was not initially charged with killing the boy. »Read Full Blog Post
John Axford agrees to $5 million salary
The Beverly Hills Sports Council, the agency that represents Brewers closer John Axford, has tweeted that he agreed to a $5 million contract with 2013 plus incentives, avoiding arbitration.
Axford was in his first year of eligibility for salary arbitration and boosted his previous salary by nearly 10-fold. He made $525,000 last season.
The Brewers also reached deals with their two other arbitration-eligible players. Right-hander Marco Estrada agreed to a $1.955 million deal and new reliever Burke Badenhop agreed to a $1.55 million deal. So, no arbitration hearings this year. »Read Full Blog Post(64)
About 2,000 remain without power in Riverwest
About 2,700 We Energies customers lost electricity in Milwaukee's Riverwest neighborhood, according to the company.
About 700 customers have had their power restored and crews are trying to discover the cause of the other power outages.
Power went out about 11:15 a.m. and a second outage was reported just after noon, company spokesman Brian Manthey said.
"We do think the wind is a factor in this case," Manthey said, noting strong winds that were forecast for Friday. Crews believe winds might have caused some power lines to touch, resulting in at least part of the outage.
Intense flu season halfway through, officials say
The worst of the flu season may be behind us. Or not.
"I believe we've crested the peak of the A: H3N2 flu epidemic locally," Paul Biedrzycki, director of disease control and environmental health for the Milwaukee Health Department, said Friday.
Hospital emergency department visits for those with flu-like symptoms have been decreasing the past two to three weeks, and for the first time this season, flu-related hospitalizations declined this week among all age groups, he said, including infants and the elderly, who are most vulnerable to flu complications. »Read Full Article(1)
Contracts for Gary Andersen and 2 coordinators approved
Madison – The University of Wisconsin Board of Regents on Friday approved the contracts of Wisconsin football coach Gary Andersen, as well as offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig and defensive coordinator Dave Aranda.
The contracts are not signed but Andersen is to receive $10 million over five years.
He is to be paid $1.8 million, including a base salary of $400,000, in 2013. He is to receive annual raises of $100,000.
Ludwig and Aranda have agreed to two-year deals worth $480,000 annually. Their annual base salaries are $300,000.
The total compensation figures for Ludwig and Aranda represent an increase of $215,000 apiece over their predecessors.
Offensive coordinator Matt Canada and defensive coordinator Chris Ash were paid $265,000 apiece last season.
Andersen's compensation package is less than that of former UW head coach Bret Bielema, who accepted the Arkansas job two days after UW's victory over Nebraska in the Big Ten title game.
Bielema was to be paid $2.6 million last season. His total compensation package for his first season with the Razorbacks is reportedly $3.2 million. »Read Full Blog Post(7)

Prosecutor: Ex-Walker aide abused political position in thefts
Timothy D. Russell should serve two years in prison for stealing money from a veterans charity, a crime enabled by his status as an aide to Gov. Scott Walker while Walker was Milwaukee County executive, according to a sentencing recommendation by prosecutors.
Russell "abused positions of trust by converting funds for his personal convenience and pleasure," Assistant District Attorney Bruce Landgraf wrote in a sentencing memo.
Russell pleaded guilty to stealing more than $20,000 from a nonprofit Walker directed Russell to lead, the Heritage Guard Preservation Society. The group was used as a banker for Walker's annual Operation Freedom picnic at the zoo for veterans and their families. As part of a plea deal, charges Russell stole smaller sums from two unsuccessful Milwaukee County Board candidates' campaign funds were dropped. »Read Full Article(64)

Work on new I-90 bridge over Mississippi to start Monday
La Crosse - After more than 10 years of planning, construction of the new I-90 bridge that crosses the Mississippi River at Dresbach, Minn., is expected to begin Monday.
Transportation officials said the first year of the project won't cause many traffic delays. Interstate 90 will remain open during the four-year project, but various ramps will be closed for months at a time. Project manager Terry Ward said traffic from La Crosse to La Crescent, Minn., on westbound I-90 to southbound Highway 61 will be closed for an extended period of time.
Ward told WXOW-TV it's a unique project because of the state line in the middle. The Minnesota and Wisconsin departments of transportation coordinated on the $187 million bridge and interchange project (2)

Apparently, I'm not the only one who has wondered if my Subway sub is really a little less filling than it used to be.

Recipe by Campbell's Kitchen
"Beef and vegetables stir-fry quickly to tenderness and are sauced with a classic broth, soy and garlic mixture."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 pound
boneless beef sirloin steak or beef top round steak
2 tablespoons
1 (10.5 ounce) can
Campbell's® Condensed Beef Broth
2 tablespoons
soy sauce
2 tablespoons
vegetable oil
3 cups
cut-up vegetables**
1/4 teaspoon
garlic powder
Hot cooked rice
Quick, healthy, certainly easy, and delicious--and perfect for low carbers if you forego eating this without rice! I added rice wine to the broth/soy sauce mixture and fresh minced garlic to the vegetables. Stir fried all in sesame oil. I did use a sirloin steak--one "No Name" was perfect for just myself, sliced thinly and across the grain while still semi-frozen. I used mushrooms, broccoli, red bell pepper, onion, baby bok choy and bean sprouts. This cooking method is so versatile, however, that any number of meats and/or vegetables would be equally as tasty. Next time I might add some oyster sauce or hoisin sauce, although it is simply fine and fresh tasting as is.
This recipe was fairly quick and easy and uses lots of fresh veggies, but does need a bit more flavour. I used fresh broc, red peppers and carrots along with fresh minced garlic. I did add some red pepper flakes to the low sodium soy/broth and cornstarch mixture and then served over basmati rice.
80 Ratings
The whole family LOVED this with no changes, even the uncle. All ages from 2 to 35 and everywhere inbetween. We will make this again for sure. Very good taste, very quick to whip up.
Anything that the whole family will eat, and there not be any leftovers is 5 star in my house. This was very good. For veggies we used yellow squash, zucchini, carrots, and red bell pepper. In addition to the garlic powder we added two cloves of chopped garlic close to the end of cooking. Hubby later admitted that he did add a little bit of red pepper flakes. We will definitely make this again.
Good, quick dinner. Tastes NOTHING like chinese food, but it worked. I cheated and tweaked just a bit. I had a huge bag of frozen Stir Fry Veggies from Costco. Used 1/2 the bag. Used 1/3 of a stick of butter and began cooking the veggies. Pretty much followed the recipe after that. Used other reviewers suggestions of adding a T. of Chili Flakes and a T. of jarred, crushed garlic. This was a good quick dinner. Would make it again. It is not even American-ized Chinese Food.
Not bad. Cooked the veggies a little first then added the beef (we like our beef medium rare) Added a little more soy sauce, used real garlic and a lot of onion. I used green pepper, celery and carrots for veggies.
I made some changes, I marinated my meat in soya sauce and fresh garlic. It was a hit with my family!
This was OK. It is pretty bland. I'll probably make it again but spice it up some.

CH327 Dining Table
from Carl Hansen & Son
designed by Hans Wegner
Designed by Hans Wegner in 1962, the simple and elegant CH327 Dining Table is the ultimate solid wood dining table. Large, yet not overwhelming in its presence, the table stands lightly on graciously formed legs. The slender legs are offset perfectly by a 1" thick solid wood tabletop that appears to float above the frame. Three crosspieces support the tabletop, and enable the table's main design feature.
In keeping with Wegner's ideology and spirit for simplicity, the tabletop is made from uninterrupted sections of solid wood running the entire length of the table. This solution, compared to full-width sections, reveals more of the wood's structure, results in a more harmonious surface, and is considerably more difficult to produce. With the CH327, Wegner purposely designed a table that would be elegantly simple and easy on the eyes, not caring that it would be a burden to manufacture.
The CH327 Dining Table is available with optional extension leaves, in black or grey laminated MDF. The leaves attach to the ends of the table due to its unique construction.

About The ManufacturerThe family-owned Carl Hansen & Son has been producing hand-made pieces since 1908. However, it was not until the late 1940s that the Danish furniture house, under the direction of Holger Hansen (the "Son"), joined forces with Hans Wegner and began a partnership that would help further not just the company but the entire Danish Modern design style. Wegner's unique, modern designs initially tested the company's production team as it had previously dedicated itself to more traditionally home-style pieces. Under Holger Hansen's guidance the partnership flourished; in the 1950s and 1960s the Carl Hansen Company and Hans Wegner both received international acclaim for their boundary-pushing work. One of the first pieces to emerge from this partnership was the Wishbone Chair, one of four chairs that Wegner designed specially for Carl Hansen in 1949. While the company faced difficulties during the second half of the 20th century, including Holger Hansen's sudden death in 1962, Carl Hansen & Son persevered and began the 21st century with a renewed focus, set on bringing Danish Modern furniture back to the center of the design world. Since 2001, when grandson Knud Erik Hansen assumed control of the company, Carl Hansen & Son has expanded in Denmark, continued to produce top-quality, hand-crafted furniture, gone on producing successful Wegner designs, and introduced new, previously unseen pieces from the legendary Danish designer.

DesignerHans Wegner
One of the prime influences in Danish Modern design during its formative years, Hans Wegner first began to design furniture after attending the Carpenters' Guild Furniture Exhibits in Copenhagen, Denmark. Shortly after completing his studies at what is now The Danish Design School, he was tasked by Arne Jacobsen with designing all the furniture of his Arhus City Hall. After working with Jacobsen for a short time, he began designing furniture for the Carl Hansen & Son furniture company in 1949. From that partnership came classics such as the Wishbone Chair, Elbow Chair, Shell Chair, and Wing Chair. Still as fresh now as they were then, these enduring pieces of modern furniture bear testimony to Wegner's craftsmanship and inspiration.

Goals: As the first in the series dedicated to scientific investigation of the Moon, Lunar Orbiter 4 was to conduct a broad, systematic, photographic survey to increase understanding of lunar surface features and to serve as a basis for selecting sites for more-detailed study by subsequent orbital and landing missions.
Accomplishments: Lunar Orbiter 4 was the first spacecraft to fly a polar orbit around the Moon. As the Moon rotated beneath its flight path, It imaged almost all of the Moon's near side and three-quarters of the far side, and took the first photo of the lunar south pole. It also gathered gravitational data in preparation for Lunar Orbiter 5.

DAMARISCOTTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Columbus Day weekend came early this year, but it still marks the symbolic end of Maine's major tourist season... and people in the lodging business say this has been a pretty good year.
The Maine Innkeepers Association says this wasn't a record setting year, but it was a good one. The association expects total lodging sales this year to be around $650 million dollars. Several inkeepers in the midcoast told us August was slower than expected, but the rest of the season made up for it. And they say that will help them get through the winter and be ready for next year.
"Flat is the new up for us," said Duane Lowe of the Cod Cove Inn. "Because august was so strange here I'm not sure what happened here, but with a good September and October we'll finish flat or a little bit ahead of last year which was OK. And we'll always hope next year is better."
"It's been a great year, it has. Its been busy, usually July and August are crazy busy. And September goes down and October is good but this year its been busy since July, crazy busy," said Mimi McConnell of the Alewives and Ales Bed & Breakfast.
Fall tourism has become big business for Maine, and some people in the tourist industry say September is now a busier month than June.

Do tattoos qualify as animation?
I'm visiting a friend of mine who is one of the country's top tattoo artists. I was looking at his designs and recalled so many tattoos I've seen that aren't really static as they move, give the illusion of movement when the person flexes a muscle or moves around.
Some tattoos really come to life when the person moves and I realized that some tattoos do indeed give the illusion of something animated.
If that is acceptable then we could say that some tattoos are animation and some tattoo artists are animators?
Re: Do tattoos qualify as animation?
Would that same tattoo art, say on canvas, be considered an animation, and would the painter be considered an animator as well?
Re: Do tattoos qualify as animation?

Re: Do tattoos qualify as animation?
Brilliant use of QR code...too bad there wasn't more focus on the quality of the design. But I'm so aping that.
Re: Do tattoos qualify as animation?
Excellent! Then we can say that tattooing can be animation depending on the design.

Oh, here's my pal's tattoo parlor. It's the oldest in America and these fellas kick major butt.

But the Jets are a team on the decline instead of the opposite, to say the least. They have to stick with Sanchez next year, and no doubt will have Tebow behind him. Maybe some of their WRs step up, but they are still going to have a QB who barely scrapes above 50% completion percentage. Rex will be on the hot seat, if he isn't gone after this year.
The Jets have been "going to the Super Bowl" for the last 4 seasons. It's one thing to think and believe, but when you tell the world and your players and things go south, everything you say becomes BS after 3.5 - 4 years.
It's fun to watch after today.

Work is classically calculated as force x displacement, i.e., F x d, gm.cm^2/sec^2 x cm.
However, when you hold an object up and prevent it from falling, energy is being expended even though no distance is traversed. I have gone back to my college physics book (Sears and Zymansky) but they don't say anything about it. How do you calculate the energy expenditure (in cal or Kcal, say) when no motion occurs?

Fastenal sells the craftsman ratchet rebuild parts. Just take the the model number with you and they can get you the parts. Sorry don't know how much they cost. BTW I like the crafman professional 3/8 drive ratchet, for 1/4 drive we hve 5 or 6 of the standard craftsman ratchets and for 1/2 we have a cratsman standard ratchet. We have a mac 1/4 inch but it is worn out. We have 4 or 5 craftsman 3/8 drive ratchets but i like the profssonal ratchet better. We also have an old SK 3/8 drive ratchet but it doesnt get used much. We also have a Chicago Pnumatic 3/8 and 1/4 drive air ratchet that are great and get used all of the time.This is an automotive discussion forum that has some great infromation

Thatd work extremely well untill one of two things happened...
A: It would land point down on your foot, and be standing upright when you look down... OR
B: You would go to break something loose and would by a freak accident slip and stab your hand on it.
I dont doubt for a second its handy...but I use a regular spud adj. wrench when I need to use one. That way its not my primary tool, and I can just set it down on the bench.Precision is only as important as the project...if you're building a rocket ship...1/64" would matter. If you're building a sledgehammer...an 1/8" probably wont.
