North Shore Health Department advises vaccination
In light of an outbreak of pertussis (whooping cough) in Wisconsin, the North Shore Health Department is recommending individuals to receive vaccination.
Between January 1 and May 31 of this year, there have been 206 confirmed cases of pertussis in Milwaukee County, up from 16 in the same time period in 2011. Pertussis begins with cold-like symptoms and can progress to explosive coughing that can interrupt breathing, eating and sleeping.
People of all ages are able to contract pertussis, though infants are particularly vulnerable.
"It's especially a problem for infants," said NSHD Public Health Nurse Randie Parks. "Half of them require hospitalization and some of them die."
NSHD urges individuals to check their immunization status and visit their health care providers if they have not received a pertussis immunization.» Read Full Article

Keller and Krause lead Germantown to 8-0 rout of Nicolet
A North Shore Conference title, something that hasn't happened in 22 years for the Germantown baseball team, got another step closer to reality Thursday night, as pitcher Brian Keller and catcher Danny Krause each hit three-run homers in leading the Warhawks to an 8-0 rout of Nicolet.
"We're not looking ahead or looking back," said Krause, also the team's leadoff hitter. "We knew what we had going into the season, it was just a matter of putting it all together and getting it clicking."
"Something like that (the league title) would mean a lot. I think we have an excellent shot at it."
The victory improved the Warhawks to 12-2 in North Shore play and 15-7 overall. They still have four league games left including a make-up tilt back at home Friday at 5:30 p.m. at home against Port Washington.
Traditional NSC power West Bend West continues to lurk close behind, with an 11-4 NSC mark (16-8 overall).» Read Full Article
Brown Deer looks to add sidewalks to Dean Road
Brown Deer - In addition to planned repaving of Dean Road between North 55 Street and Teutonia Avenue, village officials are considering sidewalks as well.
Officials from the village and school district presented four possible options for sidewalk additions tonight in a public information meet, which ranged from no sidewalk additions to a sidewalk on the south side of Dean Road that would stretch from 55 Street and Teutonia Avenue.
The segment of Dean Road in question is a common route for pedestrians and students, according to city officials, many of whom have to walk on Dean Road itself and the frontage roads next to it. The village has worked with the school district to apply for a federal Safe Routes to School grant of approximately $217,000, which would offset the cost of the additional sidewalk. If the village secures the grant, the net cost of the most expensive sidewalk addition would be less than the cost of the project if no sidewalks were added and no grant received.
Village Manager Russell Van Gompel said that the village is open to feedback through August, when recipients of the grants are announced.

Fire department warns North Shore to be careful during dry spell
The North Shore Fire Department is advising residents to take extra precautions when it comes to outdoor cooking, heat, and fireworks in the upcoming days and during the holiday festivities.
NSFD warns that grilling should be moved away from any structures or dry foliage, that even sparklers may pose a risk due to dryness and burns, and that residents should check on those most vulnerable to the heat, especially infants and the elderly, to make sure they are cool and hydrated.
The fire department has asked event organizers to make sure that firework "fall-out areas" are looked after, and will have representatives at upcoming fireworks displays to assist with safety concerns.
"Everyone is also encouraged to leave the fireworks to the professional shooters," North Shore Fire Chief Robert Whitaker said in a news release. "While this is our message every year, it is even more important this year with the dry conditions we have been experiencing."

Leanne Giese is the new Head of School at the Catholic, co-ed college preparatory high school located at 120 E. Silver Spring Drive. Colleen Brady resigned last week after serving as Head of School since July 2010. A letter she sent sent indicated the decision was because of family concerns.

Glendale creates escort license to combat prostitution
Glendale - The common council approved an ordinance Monday night which creates a mandatory license for any escort services in the city.
The ordinance closely resembles an ordinance passed in Brown Deer last week due to the fact that attorney John Fuchs serves as Village Attorney to Brown Deer and City Attorney to Glendale.
Prostitution would violate the terms of the escort license and result in a fine, and someone who claimed to be an escort without a license would be fined. In either case, officials aim to give police a way to punish prostitutes on the spot when they claim to only be escorts.
"It becomes an additional tool for the police department to control prostitution," said City Administrator Richard Maslowski, "especially in the hotels here in the city."
Mequon-Thiensville school board looks to keep facilities as they are
Mequon - After reviewing seven different options for facilities reconfigurations at a working meeting Monday night, district officials and school board members indicated that it would be the best course of action to keep facilities as they are and invest money in maintenance.
The seven options, as presented by Project Executive Nicholas Kent of Plunkett Raysich Architects, were the result of a facilities study commissioned by the school board earlier this year which sought to find potential savings in reconfigurations of the district. Option one, which the school board favored, provides no reconfiguration and instead details maintenance projects the district will need to address in the next one to two years, and comes with a price tag of approximately $2.6 million.
The other options included reconfigurations which would consolidate the district's middle schools, close or sell Lake Shore Middle School and Range Line Elementary, build additions to various schools, move middle school students to the high school, or close all but one of the elementary and middle schools before building a new K-6 building - among other reconfigurations aimed at creating operational savings in the district.
The least expensive option, next to option one, would cost the district approximately $6.3 million and would create approximately $125,000 in annual operational savings. The most expensive option, which would move seventh and eighth grade to Homestead High School, build a new K-6 building, move sixth grade to Oriole Lane Elementary, Donges Bay Elementary and the new school, and would sell or close Lake Shore Middle School, Range Line Elementary, Steffen Middle School and Wilson Elementary, would cost approximately $39.6 million and would save the district approximately $188,000 annually.
School board members and officials expressed concern over how the district would fund such projects, and whether the annual savings would be worth such costs.» Read Full Article
HHS pitcher Poellinger gets big outs in beating Bay, 2-1
Homestead junior pitcher Colten Poellinger said he could feel the breaking ball coming on in the second inning against host Whitefish Bay Monday night.
And he could certainly hear the voice of his coach Ernie Millard in the Bay half of the fifth, when after walking the Blue Dukes' DH Andy Conway, he had a two-on, one-out situation while nursing a scant 2-1 lead.
"He (Millard) came out there and told me to get ahead in the count," said Poellinger. " I get ahead in the count, I'm usually in good shape, but when I get behind I get in big trouble."
What Millard said sunk in, as Poellinger got Bay's Jacob Carlson to strike out on three pitches and then needed only three pitches to get James Stecker to ground out to first to end the threat.
All six pitches were strikes.» Read Full Article
DNR cites Mequon for sewer break
Mequon - A broken sanitary sewer last month poured an unknown volume of sewage into Fish Creek, a tributary of Lake Michigan, in violation of the city's wastewater permit, a state Department of Natural Resources official said Monday.
Erosion of the stream bed caused the sewer pipe to collapse and break. An inspection May 11 discovered the broken pipe and it was replaced the same day, according to city sewer utilities manager Mark Lloyd.
The pipe carries wastewater from a small subdivision east of Cedar Ridge Court, north of County Line Road, Lloyd said. He did not know when the break occurred.
DNR wastewater engineer Ted Bosch said the incident should have been prevented. For that reason, the department is requiring Mequon to periodically check sanitary sewers at stream crossings to prevent breaks, according to a notice of non-compliance.
No enforcement action will be taken against the city, Bosch said.
Request for silence at recital ends in disorderly conduct arrest
A 72-year-old Neshkoro man was arrested on disorderly conduct charges after allegedly yelling at a woman and striking her on the back of the head during a recital at Cardinal Stritch University, 6801 N. Yates Road.
According to the Glendale police report:
The woman sat in front of the man and while whispering to friends, he loudly told her to quit jumping around about 7:30 p.m. June 16.
When she whispered again to a friend, he hit the back of her head causing it to "whip forward."
The woman then told him they should go to the lobby to talk and as they did, he grabbed her arm and dragged her.» Read Full Article
GT's Keller wins for second time in week, beats Homestead, 6-1
Germantown pitcher Brian Keller celebrated his 18th birthday in grand style Thursday night, by holding Homestead to just one hit and picking up his second win in three days, as the Warhawks cemented their hold on first place in the North Shore Conference with a 6-1 victory.
"I felt good out there," he said. "I wasn't too tired. I run everyday so I feel good about my conditioning. Everything felt in the groove today and it's fun right now for us. We're playing as a real team. ...We're hitting the ball, keeping the errors down and just playing good overall baseball."
The win was the eighth in a row for the senior-dominated Warhawks who are now 8-2 in North Shore play and 11-5 overall. They enjoy a 1-1/2 game lead over both West Bend West and Cedarburg (7-4) while Homestead fell to 6-6 in league play and 12-6 overall.
Homestead coach Ernie Millard admires the heck out of Keller, but wishes he would see him a little less often than he does.
"He's the only Germantown pitcher we've seen in the last two years," he said. "He didn't throw as hard as he did the first time we played (a 1-0 Germantown win), but his command is just so good. That just makes it hard for us, because we don't score as much as we used to."» Read Full Article

Brown Deer aims to curb prostitution with escort licenses
Brown Deer - The Village Board voted on Monday to approve an ordinance that would create a mandatory license for escort services in the village.
Many prostitutes, when found out by Brown Deer police, claim to be escorts, according to Police Chief Steve Rinzel.
"We've been finding advertisements online (saying) that they'll come to Brown Deer hotels," Rinzel said.
Prostitution charges would require testimony by those caught with the "escorts." Very few are willing to testify, Rinzel said. With an ordinance in place requiring an escort license, Brown Deer police will have a way to fine prostitutes who say they're only escorts.
"If somebody's going to make that claim, they would have to be licensed," Rinzel said.» Read Full Article

Glendale-River Hills OKs preliminary budget, end of long term care insurance
The Glendale-River Hills school board approved the first consideration of its 2012-2013 budget Monday night, and by doing so signaled the end of the district's participation in long term care insurance.
The budget, as presented by District Administrator Larry Smalley, will run a surplus of approximately $333,000 as a result of $600,000 from the April 2011 referendum. Other savings in the budget come from changes to the district's health plan, the removal of long term care insurance, state and federal programs, and retirements.
Despite the fact that the district will spend less in the 2012-2013 school year than it did in 2011-2012, the tax levy is projected to increase by 2.1 percent to offset cuts in state funding.
"We are anticipating another reduction in state aid at about a 10 percent, possibly 15 percent rate," said Smalley, "which will be passed on to the taxpayers."
Retirees came to the meeting to as well and entreated the board to continue participating in long term care insurance, or to find a way to keep retirees on the current group rate. Smalley said that, although he and others have been working with long term care insurance provider WEA for the last 10 months, all attempts have failed up to this point.» Read Full Article
Glendale police go online, make prostitution arrests
Glendale police made two recent arrests for prostitution at hotels on Port Washington Road after going online to set up the meetings.
According to the police report:
A 43-year-old woman, possibly from Texas, was arrested for prostitution, possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia after police investigated a website and set up "a date" at the Baymont Inn, 5485 N. Port Washington Road, at 10:40 p.m. June 10.
The woman had 4 grams of marijuana, pipes with residue and $695 cash. The woman said she was in the area working for a traveling sales group and her co-workers left but she stayed and has done "exceptionally well as a prostitute in Glendale with about 15 customers a day."
In the second incident, a 20-year-old Milwaukee woman was arrested for prostitution after police investigated a website and set up "a date" with her at the Radisson Hotel, 7065 N. Port Washington Road, at 9:30 p.m. June 6.» Read Full Article

Woman lied about dog mauling, police say
A woman who claimed she was mauled by a stray dog in Shorewood was actually bitten by a dog she was walking and lied to protect the animal, Milwaukee police said Friday.
Shorewood police said Thursday they were contacted by staff at Aurora Advanced Healthcare 3003 W. Good Hope Road who reported the 31-year-old woman came in with lacerations and puncture wounds to her face.
They said the woman reported being attacked by a black dog with white markings on its chest between 4:00 and 4:30 p.m. near N. Oakland Ave. and E. Olive St., said Shorewood police, who began searching for such a dog.
However Friday Milwaukee police said they were contacted by authorities in Shorewood who reported that the woman eventually admitted being a professional dog walker and that she was bitten by a dog she was walking at E. Locust St. and N. Shepherd Ave.
The woman said she lied to protect the dog from being put down, said Milwaukee police, who will refer the matter to the Milwaukee Health Department.

According to the police report:
The man entered the BP gas station at 5125 W. Brown Deer Road between 10 and 11 p.m. and demanded money before fleeing on a bicycle.

Underwater video shows aquatic parade using Milwaukee River fish passage
Walleye, northern pike, bluegill, yellow perch and largemouth bass are among the 31 species of fish that have been filmed swimming up the passage around the dam on the Milwaukee River at Thiensville and Mequon.
An underwater camera installed one year ago shows that six other wildlife species, including river otter and turtles, also take advantage of the passage around the concrete barrier.
For the first time, the public can watch the aquatic parade live at http://www.co.ozaukee.wi.us/PlanningParks/PlanningParks_FP_OzaukeeFishway.asp.
The passage, a meandering channel built on the Thiensville bank of the river, provides all fish an upstream bypass of the dam for the first time in 150 years. The original dam at this location was built in 1842.
Coho and chinook salmon burst past the camera along with much smaller fish, such as blackside darter, golden redhorse and central stoneroller. Before the passage was completed in December 2010, only a few salmon each year were able to jump the 10-foot-tall barrier.» Read Full Article
Police consolidation explored in Glendale, Shorewood and Whitefish Bay
Elected bodies in Glendale, Shorewood and Whitefish Bay recently began preliminary talks in consolidating police services in the three communities.
The Glendale Common Council took the issue up Monday.
While a consolidated department could net savings in an environment of ongoing fiscal restraints, Glendale Mayor Jerry Tepper said the review process will be thorough.
"Some of this is territorial since we've all got to make sure that we're being taken care of," Tepper said. "We're not going to sacrifice that for money. We're being cautious and moving along carefully."
If preliminary talks do advance, City Administrator Richard Maslowski said public input would be taken into account.» Read Full Article
GT softball team earns state berth by blanking Homestead, 3-0
Germantown senior catcher Kelsey Smith did not want to endure what she and the rest of the team went through last season, when archrival Homestead stunned the then North Shore champion Warhawks in the WIAA sectional final.
And Smith and the Warhawks didn't let it happen again, as after another North Shore championship and another regular season sweep of the Highlanders, they took care of business and earned their first WIAA state tournament berth in 15 years with a 3-0 sectional final victory over Homestead at Kennedy Middle School Thursday night.
"This is the best moment," said Smith, whose sacrifice fly in the sixth inning added a critical insurance run. "It's the best way to play last home game on this field."
"This game was everything, because I remember all the crying that went on after the (sectional) game last year. All those tears we cried went into this year's effort. We learned important lessons."
With the win, the Warhawks (21-4 overall) earned a WIAA state quarterfinal slot at 3:30 p.m. Thursday, June 14 at Goodman Diamond in Madison, against defending state champion Stevens Point (22-5), which was a 3-0 winner over Beaver Dam today. It is Germantown's third overall trip to state.» Read Full Article
Maple Dale-Indian Hill readies budget for next month's annual meeting
Maple Dale-Indian Hill school officials met Wednesday and discussed the district's proposed 2012-13 budget of about $9.3 million.
The district will be entering the fourth year of a 10-year referendum cycle that infuses $800,000 of additional taxpayer money - beyond the state-mandated levy limits - into Maple Dale-Indian Hill's general operating budget.
While the district has been able to store away some of that money in the fund balance reserves, the amount is less than the annual $400,000 that had been earmarked. Business Administrator Gary Swalve has attributed the decline in fund balance contributions to a drop in recent years in state aid.
Swalve will present a draft version of the 2012-13 budget at Maple Dale-Indian Hill's annual meeting, set for 7 p.m. July 11 at Maple Dale School, 8377 N. Port Washington Road.
Maple Dale-Indian Hill encompasses portions of Bayside, Fox Point, Glendale and River Hills. Residents within the district's boundaries will have an opportunity to vote on a proposed property tax levy at the meeting.

Homestead's Niebrugge has four shot lead in state golf
Homestead senior Jordan Niebrugge has apparently made up for years of disappointment by going into the clubhouse at the WIAA state golf championship at University Ridge in Verona on Tuesday with a record-tieing 36-hole score of 136.
According to the WIAA website, Niebrugge shot a six-under par 66 today and his overall score is currently four shots clear of Stoughton's Henry Klongland (140) and has tied the individual state meet record held by former Highlander state champion Andy Hansen, who originally set the mark back in 2006.
Niebrugge is looking to become the first Homestead individual champion since Hansen.
As of 5:50 p.m., there were still many golfers left to finish.

Miss Cupcake targets July opening in Shorewood
Ashley Weber's nearly five-year-old baking business will open its first brick-and-mortar storefront -- her longtime dream -- around July 1 in Shorewood.
Miss Cupcake Boutique Bakery is taking shape at 3801 N. Oakland Ave., the former Last Drop coffee and sandwich shop. Besides its namesake cupcakes, the bakery will have pies, brownies, cookies, confections and bulk old-fashioned candies, among other items, Weber said. And customers will find vegan, gluten-free and sugar-free options.
Pies will be available in standard 9-inch and individual sizes, and branch out into rustic galettes and quiches as well.
Weber's business started taking off after she baked for the influx of visitors for Harley-Davidson's 105th anniversary bash in 2008, working out of the kitchen of Mimma's on Brady St. Now that Miss Cupcake will have its own storefront, the shop's decor will be inspired by vintage Hollywood glamour, Weber said.
The bakery will have a few seats inside and outside, and have coffee and other beverages, such as hot vanilla milk, or apple cider in the fall.» Read Full Article
Whitefish Bay officials looking at 10-year capital improvement plan
Whitefish Bay officials are reviewing a 10-year capital improvement plan - an important lynchpin toward the road to addressing upgrades in the sanitary sewer system that resulted in flooding nearly two years ago during torrential rainfall.
Tentatively, the village is planning to borrow about $100 million in the years ahead to fund improvements to the sanitary sewer system, as well as water utility infrastructure and streets.
The village has contracted with financial advisory firm Ehlers and Associates to hash over financial options for the impending work. Company representative Mike Harrigan reviewed some of the details at a Village Board meeting Monday night.
One of the most scrutinized aspects of this week's discussion focused on funding options. Village officials are grappling with implementing a storm water utility fee - a figure that would be determined based on a variety of factors, including the square footage of a property.
Over time, Herrigan said property tax payers could incur an increase of $1.42 per $1,000 of assessed value to fund the improvements without a storm water utility. With a current rate of 81 cents per $1,000 of assessed value, this would increase the amount to $2.23 per $1,000 of assessed value. The figure only represents the municipal portion of a village taxpayer's bill and only takes into account the money earmarked for funding improvements.» Read Full Article
GT beats Nicolet to advance to sectional softball final versus Homestead
Once more, with feeling.
That'll be the case Thursday night at 7 p.m. back at the Kennedy Middle School Fields, when the North Shore Conference Germantown softball team will host archrival Homestead in a WIAA sectional final, with a berth in the state tournament on the line.
The Warhawks advanced to the sectional final behind Amanda Witzlib's 13 strikeouts and Addy Green's two-run home run with a 3-1 sectional semifinal decision Monday night over another North shore rival Nicolet.
The sectional final will be a replay of last season. The scenario will be exactly the same too, as last year, the Warhawks beat the Highlanders twice during the regular season only to have Homestead edge them in the sectional final.
And once again, Germantown has edged Homestead in two thrillers this season en route to an unbeaten North Shore Conference campaign. Germantown will enter with a record of 21-4, while the Highlanders will come in at 19-5. The Highlanders advanced with a 6-3 victory Monday night against Brookfield Central.» Read Full Article
River Hills chooses town of Saukville clerk as new village manager
Christopher Lear, the town clerk at the town of Saukville, is the new village manager/clerk treasurer for River Hills.
Although most of Lear's background has been in the city/village management area, he took on elections and other clerk duties when hired by the town of Saukville in 2006. Before that he was the village manager/clerk in Germantown.
Lear also did accounting in Saukville. His resume includes the village administrator/clerk position at the village of Saukville and several positions in Galesburg and the Zion Park District in Illinois.
River Hills sought a replacement for its former manager Tom Tollaksen, who resigned in late January, and for its clerk who left for another position in December.
Village President Robert Brunner said Lear will earn $80,000 a year and start on June 25.
Polls change for some Brown Deer voters for Tuesday's recall election
Registered voters living on the south side of West Pierner Place and the west side of North 67th Street to roughly West Cloverleaf Drive will vote at the Brown Deer Library, not Trinity Community Church on Tuesday.
Brown Deer Village Manager Russell Van Gompel told the Village Board on Monday night that the geographical information system used to map out the new wards after the redistricting due to the 2010 census mapped from the centerline of those streets. The result was the two areas were assigned to the library for voting rather than the church.
Van Gompel said village staff noticed the error before the last two elections and went into the state registration system and manually corrected the error. However, it was not caught until this afternoon. The poll books were already printed meaning those voters must go to the library to vote in this election.
Van Gompel did not know the exact number of voters who could be impacted by the switch but there are 20 to 25 homes along the streets.
The library is located at 5600 W. Bradley Road.
Lexmond becomes new Shorewood schools superintendent
Martin Lexmond has been chosen by the School Board to become Shorewood School District's new superintendent.
The board sat in closed session multiple times over the last two weeks, deliberating between Lexmond - currently superintendent of the Kohler Public School District - and current Lake Bluff Elementary Principal Kirk Juffer, weighing the candidates against the criteria gleaned from multiple community input sessions.
"We looked at that information and how well Martin fit with that," School Board member Colin Plese said. "We considered community feedback, and our own feedback."
Lexmond will succeed current Superintendent Blane McCann, who has been with the district for nine years and will soon become superintendent of Westside Community School District in Omaha, Neb.
"It is truly humbling to have an opportunity to serve the Shorewood community. Shorewood is known and respected for its commitment to student excellence," Lexmond said in a district news release. "I am excited to lead a team with such an enthusiasm for the education of its children."» Read Full Article

For those not familiar with it, it has 2 pans built into it, top and bottom, so is able to provide a level pan.
It looks like I may be able to just purchase a lens ring and the clamp that attaches to the lens? But I'm a bit confused with all the options... I'll be using this w/a 5d mk ii and a Sigma f3.5 lens... anyone able to clear this up?

What is back-focusing? Is it something I need to be worried about, or can I just live with it? How can I tell if my camera/lens is sufferring from it?
Back-focusing and front-focusing is when the auto-focus consistently is slightly off in either direction.
This problem has always existed as long as auto-focus has existed, but it has come into focus (no pun intended) with digital cameras where you can enlarge the image to pixel level and really see where the focus is.
You can test this with a simple setup of a ruler and a box of matches, or any similar objects. Put the ruler on a table and place the box standing right beside it. Focus on the box and take a picture, preferrably using a long lens and the largest possible aperture (lowest f-stop value).
Now when you examine the photo you can see where the ruler is sharp. If the auto-focus is correct, the box is in focus, and the part of the ruler that is sharp is a section in front of and behind the box, centered slightly behind the front of the box. That is because the depth of focus is slightly longer behind the subject:
There's a page at focustestchart.com that goes into enormous detail about this.
The quick summary: back focus is when the focus plane is further back than you were expecting it to be (so your subject is out of focus, but something behind it is sharp). This is usually operator error, but might possibly be a problem with the lens; the page linked above gives you a way to distinguish between the two.
See also the focus test chart at http://pentaxdslrs.blogspot.com/2008/06/part-1-autofocus-adjustment-for-pentax.html. It has a slightly more accurate focus target and measures the 45 degree angle for you.
Note that it's incredibly easy to do focus testing wrong. Be careful and disciplined in following the directions.
Back-focusing/front-focusing is when your auto-focus is wrong, and focuses too far or too close. This is most visible when you're shotting with fast telephoto lenses and in other situations with shallow depth of field. Most people don't like to have their photo out-of-focus, so if you're suffering from this it's best to fix it.
As Matt writes, you can check your camera+lens using chart at focustestchart.com. On some cameras front-back focusing can be tuned directly in their menu, but sometimes it's necessary to get the camera and/or lens calibrated in service center.

V-Nee Yeh
The Leader
V-Nee Yeh '84 has applied his well-honed financial acumen to both the public and private sectors. The results, in every case, have been impressive.
Every weekday, V-Nee Yeh '84 wakes up to the sound of an alarm clock buzzing at an unlikely time: 3 a.m. The fund-management expert then spends the next several hours answering emails that stream in from clients and partners of the four hedge funds and private equity firms he helped found. "I have a very idiosyncratic cycle," says Yeh, who is based in Hong Kong and admits that he is particularly meticulous in keeping up with his email.
Until this past summer, part of Yeh's early morning routine also included about an hour at a computer with a secure connection reviewing confidential papers on Hong Kong's governmental policy options regarding everything from education to financial reform. The task was key to his role as a member of the region's executive council, the main policy-making board of Hong Kong's executive branch.
While Yeh's appointment in 2009 came as a surprise ("I don't belong to any political party or have a track record in politics," he says), his financial acumen helped the council guide Hong Kong's economy through the aftermath of the global financial crisis.
The transcripts from the executive council's meetings will likely remain classified for another two decades, but Yeh, whose term ended on July 1 of this past year, notes that his service occurred during a particularly exciting time to be involved in policy decisions for the territory.
"If you look at Hong Kong, we have unemployment in the 3 percent range, inflation in the 4 percent range, the lowest tax rates in the world, and a really strong fiscal position," he says.
Yeh has no immediate plans to return to government service, aiming instead to focus his talents on Asia's burgeoning private sector. With a résumé that includes seven years at the Lazard houses, he says the analytical thinking borne from his time at Columbia Law School prepared him particularly well for finance. His track record in business supports that assertion.
Yeh founded Value Partners Group nearly two decades ago, and the company now oversees more than $7 billion in assets, making it Asia's second-largest asset-management group. In the past 10 years, he sought to replicate such success with his firms Argyle Street Management, Cheetah Investment Management, and Samena Capital—each of which has experienced periods of sustained success.
When pressed, Yeh rattles off growth figures for the firms with the tone of a modest but proud parent, although he is quick to point out that there is more to his line of business than just the investments and strategies alone.
"What makes my life interesting right now is not just the work that I do, but the partners I have who are great people and great friends," says Yeh.
His long-standing friendships are no small feat in a competitive financial field, where relationships can sometimes be strained due to the pressures of deal-making. "What I'm most proud of," says Yeh, "is that not only have my firms been successful, but all the partners have remained partners."
As a founding shareholder but not an executive at the firms, Yeh may be on the receiving end of hundreds of emails, but he is less involved than his partners in the day-to-day management of the companies. And that is exactly how he prefers it.
"It gives me the flexibility to be in and out of the office as I please," says Yeh. That means he is able to make it home for dinner with his wife and daughter at 6:00 every evening. It also allows him to end his day by 8 p.m. so that he can be ready to start his 3 a.m. routine again the following morning.

For Adventurous Eaters
The other evening, a handsome man with a gap-tooth smile rang my bell with a delivery. "Happy New Year," he said, and handed me two brown bags. They were neatly hand-labeled: "Meatloaf and potatoes gratin." I asked where the food came from, but the man shook his head. "We're not supposed to say," he murmured. Then, like a dark knight, he vanished into the streets to deliver more meals.
Why have more than 1,000 New Yorkers signed on with Mealku, a co-op food service that has them swapping home-cooked dinners with total strangers? Why not? For a certain type of culinary adventurer, this Web-based potluck on steroids is irresistible, combining just about every hot trend—social networking, foodie culture, cooperative living, online reviews, bike messengers—into a single, feel-good service that allows members to exchange meals with fellow amateur cooks throughout the city.
Not everyone qualifies. When I applied a month ago, Mealku consultant Krysta Brayer called and suggested a home visit: "Just to make sure you're not a crazy cat lady."
We made a date. Meanwhile, I completed my Mealku profile. Newcomers are encouraged to select a dietary preference (kosher, lactose-free, paleo, etc.) and describe themselves. I checked out the competition. Many members recounted exotic travels, cited inspirational grandmothers and described their diets in excruciating detail. The service seems to attract a lot of "former carnivores," gluten-freesters and folks who proudly list numerous food allergies. A speech pathologist admitted to making "an occasional foray into meat and dairy," while a skateboarding Brazilian declared himself a "connoisseur of fresh fruits." Many revealed that (surprise!) they love to cook. I told the truth: "I like to cook, but I love to eat even more."
A few days later, Ms. Brayer arrived for the inspection. It started with a peek through my fridge and cupboards. She complimented my ingredients. "Oh, classic Coke bottles, very nice," she said. "Oh, fresh oregano, that's so nice. Bustelo! That's so cool."
Next came the interview. What do I cook for friends? Where do I buy produce? Ms. Brayer took notes in an antique notebook purchased, of course, from a flea market in Rome, and offered tips. I really should join the Park Slope Food Co-op and check out the Grand Army Plaza farmers market: "It's root vegetable city over there." She also approved me on the spot: "You don't have any roaches or rats or anything!"
The force behind Mealku is Ted D'Cruz-Young, a Scotsman and former BBDO creative director who's been funding the free service with investor backing and his own cash. A TriBeCa father of two, he's the sort of high-level thinker who pauses mid-sentence to parse definitions and can deliver a layered, nuanced response to the most straightforward question. For Mr. D'Cruz-Young, Mealku isn't just a biz startup; it's a cure for a "dysfunctional" and wasteful system that doesn't feed us right. He's an economics major turned ad man turned food Marxist. "I love that it's very real," he says of Mealku. "It's the most real thing I've ever done."
You know what's really real? Digging into a home-cooked meal prepared in some unidentified stranger's kitchen. But it's worth the gamble. For one thing, Mealku's members are adventurous cooks. My first foray had me choosing from options like baked chicken with apples and pomegranate, Moroccan fish tagine and braised rabbit. I picked a dish that sounded both familiar and exotic: an anise beef stew with orange peel.
Jackpot! The fragrance alone made me bonkers. There were thick chunks of beef, tender carrots, sweet onions and a dark gravy so delicious I wanted to pour it over my head.
That was beginner's luck, it turns out. While Mealku's membership includes many skilled cooks, there are also plenty of well-intentioned bumblers like myself. I enjoyed a rich beef stroganoff prepared by a Russian immigrant, but a Brooklyn musician's spicy buttermilk fried chicken went to mush in its foil-lined bag, while Randy the Producer's tofu curry stew tasted like the clumsy cooking your college roommate concocted when he first went vegan.
And none of this prepared me for the God-awful "Grandma's Meatloaf," one of the worst meals I've ever encountered. Sweet as candy, it had the consistency of a sea sponge; the accompanying potatoes gratin were half raw.
Still, Mealku is better (and cheaper!) than Chinese takeout. And it's even more amusing once you start cooking for others and handing out meals to the bike messengers. My first submission, offered under the moniker "FoodKadet," was my special Superstar Chicken and Sausage Cacciatore. "Boy is it good!" I wrote. "YUM YUM YUM!" My copywriting efforts paid off—three portions were snapped right up.
I'm glad no one saw me cooking—I forgot to wash my hands until I was halfway through, and spent an awful lot of time sampling my masterpiece, debating how much to reserve for my greedy self. In the end, I erred on the generous side and was rewarded with a rave review: "Such a flavorful and comforting meal."
That felt great. On the other hand, the ingredients cost me $20. For my second foray, I thought of the cheapest dish I could imagine and posted a new offer: "Hot Cream of Wheat!" The ingredients cost $1.25, but the dish garnered another positive review. Now I was really cooking.
Was there nothing the folks on Mealku wouldn't order? I launched a third offer: "Crazy Fantastic Mystery Surprise!"
"Who knows what will be in the bag?" I wrote. "Don't order this meal if you have any food allergies. I don't want to kill anybody."
The surprise was a pork chop with cranberry sauce (left over from Thanksgiving), mashed sweet potatoes and a wind-up bluebird. The ensuing review was enthusiastic: "Brilliant fun."
What's next? Perhaps I could offer a bag of locally sourced twigs while ordering lobster thermidor. Alas, the free ride is ending. Mr. D'Cruz-Young says a $10-a-month membership fee will kick in sometime in January. If you want to sample FoodKadet's organic twigs, better order soon.

using Gdal/ OGR is there a way to convert a shp, kml, or PostGIS line layer into a network of nodes and segments so it can be used in packages such as networkx?
Ben Reilly recently posted a link on another question to his utilitynetwork Python package, which uses the OGR bindings to convert data into networkx DiGraphs.
Judging from the networkx list of importable graph formats and formats supported by GDAL, I doubt such a conversion is possible.
You haven't mentioned specifically what kind of network analysis you want to do, but if you are interested in routing, there are a couple of options:
PgRouting http://pgrouting.postlbs.org/ works with data in PostGIS to do routing analysis. It supports the Shortest Path Dijkstra, Shortest Path A*, Shortest Path Shooting Star and Traveling Salesperson (TSP) algorithms. It also does driving distance calculations. A list of example apps using PgRouting can be found at
The OpenRouter project
(Apologies for the quoted URLs, but I don't have enough cred to post >1 URl...)
I think the answer depends. Most GIS formats do not explicitly include adjacency information (e.g. there are no indicators in a .shp full of simple line features to indicate that two features share a common endpoint), which is a deal-breaker for reading them directly into a network.
From a cursory peek at the code, it looks like the utilitynetwork package linked by scw will re-discover that information only if the endpoints are bit-for-bit identical. This might be good enough for most needs, including yours! (I could be wrong about this, since it was indeed only a cursory peek.)
For something more robust -- for example, you may wish to create new nodes in the network where two edges cross, or you'd like to handle perturbations that make overlapping endpoints very slightly different -- you'll have to look for an approach that inspects the geometry more deeply.
I have done something similar with Boundary Generator to recover network adjacency information from polygons: wrong platform, language and geometric primitive for you, unfortunately. However, it may be insightful as to how to approach robustness issue(s).
There is some geodjango code in MarineMap that might be adaptable for the task.

Everyone has been asking about when the new NN5 will be available.
After some last minute production tweaks I'm pleased announce that NN5 will be available for shipping (from the website) approx. Sept.8th but a very good chance it will ship sooner.
The initial supply will be VERY limited - first orders in will be first orders out.
The biggest improvement over NN5L is that NN5 incorporates a unique upper rotator locking system that allows the upper arm to lock into place every 15 degrees. These locks can be disengaged on-the-fly without having to remove the camera - very handy. Also, and because of the positive locking system, the weight limits increase to approx 10kgs (22lbs).
To place your pre-order now (and see some photos) please visit: http://store.nodalninja.com/product_p/n5-pkg.htm.
NN5 Package will retail on the website for $449.95.
This is for orders originating from the website only. Please contact your local distributor for product availability.
NOTE: This is NOT the NN5L-NN5 upgrade - those with older NN5L waiting to upgrade to NN5 unfortunately need to wait another couple months.

That phrase has different meanings, but the first one is literal.
When you turn the page, you will see our briefs and a soccer roundup that was supposed to be in Sunday's edition, and I am sure there were soccer players, coaches and others looking for those stories to read about the efforts.
Yet, about 3 a.m. Sunday, that fear hit me, the fear that I forgot to put something in the paper.
And, yes, I did and those were the forgotten ones.
It wasn't like I missed a two-footer to win a major championship, but it sure felt that way.
If you have ever watched a golf tournament and heard the crowd moan when a player misses that putt, that is exactly what I sounded like all by myself when I figured out my gigantic choke.
There are no excuses why it happened, just that it happened and I apologize to the coaches and players.
I?hate mistakes in this publication.
I am not OCD when it comes to mistakes because I know they are going to happen. I just really, really do not like it when they happen.
Whether you are 1-0 or 0-1, what just happened has zero bearing on what will happen, unless you allow it to happen.
An easy win or a tough loss means nothing as Friday or Saturday rolls around.
You can turn the page to what is in front of you or look behind and miss out.
For seniors, if you choose not to buy in, there is an underclassman ready to take your spot and you can sit your behind on the bench.
It's your choice.
It was a terrible sign to begin with and now the team is better.
But, then again, you also wonder why Seattle would sign him having a pretty good idea of what he is like.
In the past few months, the following colleges have had disciplinary problems of varying degrees - LSU, Montana, Tulane, Buffalo, Auburn, Boston College, Colorado State, Notre Dame, Oklahoma State, TCU, UCLA, Arizona, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Florida State and Presbyterian College.
And, that's not the entire list.
At what point in time do the powers that be at these colleges start turning all the pages in the book?
And, in light of his recent problems, those character issues seem to be correct.
And, because of that fact, the Cowboys have instituted new rules for Bryant before they turn the page and send him to the unemployment line.
The new rules, according to Calvin Watkins of ESPNDallas.com are:?no drinking alcohol; he cannot attend any strip clubs and can only attend nightclubs if approved by the team; must have a security team with him; must attend counseling sessions twice a week; a rotating three-man security team will leave one man with Bryant at all times; members of the security team will drive Bryant to practices, games and team functions; a midnight curfew and if he's going to miss curfew, team officials must know in advance.
Is it really that hard to stay out of trouble?
Apparently so.

Jindal Proposes Vouchers, Tenure Changes, Other Education Reforms
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal has outlined long-promised education proposals, including the largest voucher program in the nation, altering teacher tenure and pay, a Parent Trigger, and giving principals authority to hire, evaluate, and fire.
Enacting his proposals would make approximately 400,000 students eligible for state vouchers.
"The way forward is to provide more choices to families, reward teachers, and give school leaders more flexibility with funding and personnel," Jindal, a Republican, said in announcing his proposals. "Our kids only grow up once, and we cannot wait for the system to reform itself."
The governor stressed three "pillars" of education: effective teachers, equal opportunity for families, and school flexibility.
He pointed to Louisiana's low ranking on myriad measures of academic performance in calling for "faster" change. Louisiana students score in the bottom five states on the National Assessment of Educational Progress in every grade and subject tested.
"You have to wait until actual bills have been written and filed, but I think it's fair to describe it as an ambitious education reform agenda," said Kevin Kane, president of the New Orleans-based Pelican Institute for Public Policy.
Expanding Choice
A school voucher program currently benefits low-income New Orleans families. Jindal would expand it to every child attending a school rated C or lower by the state whose family is at or below 250 percent of the federal poverty line ($55,875 per year or less for a family of four). That's more than half of Louisiana's nearly 700,000 K-12 students.
"The current system is unacceptable and unfair," Jindal said. "Parents and kids should not be trapped in a failing school because of their ZIP code, income, gender, or color."
Jindal's plan would also allow students to take classes from varied providers, including virtual schools, colleges and universities, and businesses with training programs. He'd give high school students who graduate early half of their per-pupil state spending as a college scholarship. He would also extend charter school authorization authority to approved nonprofits, universities, and community organizations.
Attracting, Retaining Teachers
"Our system today often crushes talented teachers, and it makes their jobs harder, not easier," Jindal said. "If any actual business was set up like this, they would go under in a matter of months. That's about to happen to our education system."
To address these problems, Jindal proposes several changes, including: removing teacher salary schedules, ending "last in, first out" policies, moving teachers rated ineffective from tenured to probationary, and tying teacher certification to effectiveness. New teachers would receive tenure only after five years of a "highly effective" rating.
"The status quo is going to say my plan hurts teachers and hurts public education," Jindal said. "They are going to do whatever it takes to say reform is a bad idea. That type of rhetoric is insulting to the people across this state demanding better schools. Teaching is not only one of the most important professions in the world; it's also one of the toughest professions. That's why we want to reward teachers."
Legislative Debates Ahead
Effective reform requires two components, Kane said: Removing obstacles to school success, and giving parents more options for their children to attend a better-fitting school.
He said Jindal's ideas will have strong support in Louisiana's legislature, given its "appetite for reform" and a weaker array of opponents such as teachers unions. Jindal's landslide 2011 reelection with 65 percent of the vote gives his priorities heft, with Republican majorities in both statehouses.
He cautioned, however, "Any time you're talking about changing things, that means there are entrenched interests to oppose that change, and there's hard work involved."
Should such an expansive voucher program become reality, Louisiana's strong history of Catholic parochial schools and their recent enrollment decline means private schools are relatively well-positioned to absorb more students, Kane said.
"Jindal is pretty careful. He has put a lot of time and effort into this, and he's got a lot of smart people working with him," Kane said. "This has been a carefully thought-out process. It'll certainly make the next few months pretty interesting."

I and some friends are taking our vehicles from the US to Honduras. Once we get to Honduras, we're golden. However, navigating the space between San Antonio and Copan Ruinas is tricky. I need some guidance on a route. Which borders should I cross. Which cities should I stay in overnight? Which roads should I take?
The Pan American Highway is probably the most popular route.
Mexico and possibly other countries require insurance from an underwriter in that country. It will probably be a lot cheaper to arrange that before the trip.
It would be worth checking to see if it is unsafe to travel in certain areas, and at night. In Nicaragua, for example, there have been recent cases of unofficial roadblocks on the main highways at night, for the purpose of robbery. If someone you meet suggests that you avoid an area, it might be a good idea to take the advice.
You can check the State Department travel advisories for the countries you plan to go through. They can be overly pessimistic sometimes, but they do give some important information, particularly on recent criminal trends and dangerous areas of a country.
In Mexico and other countries with a large illegal drug industry, it can be dangerous to drive around the countryside in sparsely populated areas.
Despite all my doom and gloom, it sounds like it will be a great trip -- have fun!
Bear in mind that it is winter season in Central America (until late October). And while staying in the Pan American highway is probably your best bet, there's still chance for roadblocks caused by mudslides, collapsed bridges, etc.
Road infrastructure on those countries isn't exactly at the same levels you are used to.

This article demonstrates how to call appropriate pages when there are multiple buttons in HTML page you created. For example by using a HTML form you may want to update record(s), delete record(s), move to next record, move to previous record etc. To do this you will require multiple buttons in this single or same form. And when user clicks on any of this button you may want to call appropriate scripting page such as JSP page, ASP page which will do the necessary actions such as update record(s) in database, delete record(s) from database, move to next record, move to previous record etc.
This example consists of five HTML pages: 'multiplebuttons.html', 'save.html', 'delete.html', 'next.html', and 'previous.html'. HTML page 'multiplebuttons.html' consists of four buttons: Save (to save updated record(s) in database), Delete (to delete record(s) from database), Next (to move to next record), Previous (to move to previous record). When user clicks on button 'Save', it will call HTML page 'save.html', when user clicks on button 'Delete', it will call HTML page 'delete.html', and so on. In actual programming these pages that is 'save.html', 'delete.html', 'next.html', 'previous.html' should be replaced with appropriate scripting (JSP, PHP, ASP etc.) pages to do the required things.
In this example to call appropriate pages, simple JavaScript and HTML Document Object Model is used. When user clicks on any of the button, on 'onclick()' event, JavaScript function 'invoke()' is called with button index(0 for Save, 1 for Delete, 2 for Next, 3 for Previous). Within this function depending on button appropriate page is called by using 'document.<formname>.action'. Please note that 'action' field of the form is kept empty.
HTML form: multiplebuttons.html
HTML Code:

Click on one of the buttons
 <form method="post" name="myform" action="">

<input type="button" value="Save" onclick="invoke(0)">

<input type="button" value="Delete" onclick="invoke(1)">

<input type="button" value="Next" onclick="invoke(2)">

I find the sidebar to appear and disappear terribly slow. How can I change the delay?
For 11.04 (Natty):
The Unity delay is intentional (Ayatana-Design bug 754583) but can be changed.
You can change the edge delay of Compiz:
You can change this delay and other settings.
At the end of the answer by Octavian Damiean you will find this:
This is a workaround for "absolute zero" delay.
For 11.10 (Oneiric):
In Ubuntu 11.10 it is now possible to change the edge reveal time out using compizconfig-settings-manager .
To open it press Alt+F2,paste
Then change the "Edge Reveal Timeout" in the Behaviour/Behavior tab.
* (You can also run
12.04 & Unity
The Unity Launcher delay is now a System Setting - Appearance option:
From the Behaviour tab you have the option to switch-on autohiding of the Launcher and using the slidebar to control the responsiveness to the reveal of the launcher.
The higher the sensitivity the quicker the launcher will reveal.
12.04 & Unity-2D
The Unity-2D Launcher delay is now a System Setting - Appearance option:
From the Behaviour tab you have the option to switch-on autohiding of the Launcher and by clicking the Low/High buttons to control the responsiveness to the reveal of the launcher.
Or just set your wall expo to activate on touching the upper/lower left corner (from compiz) . The expo autoshows instantly and it shows the sidebar (also instantly) and its just a handy setting :)
As an alternative to Petko's suggestion, I recommend you enable the SCALE Compiz plugin triggered with the top-left edge of the window. You can choose to scale all windows from the active desktop, or all windows [from any desktop]. I prefer to scale all windows. This is better for users who do not use multiple desktops or use them infrequently. It allows you the additional advantage of selecting which app you want to work with at the same time as moving directly to the relevant workspace if it's on a different one.
This is similar to the behavior of the Gnome Shell. I have been using Gnome Shell for about half a year prior to just now switching to Unity. It took me a bit to get used to Gnome Shell's task switching paradigm but once I did I loved it and would have gone back if I weren't able to achieve the functionality that I state in the paragraph above.
Unity-2D I really recommend setting the Launcher to be always shown How do I configure Unity 2D? Soon you'll stop missing those millimeters and start appreciate better productivity. A delay to reveal the launcher is understandable but to have actual animations of the Launcher showing up and hiding back again is a misunderstanding productivity wise. I'd say that between the default configuration with animations and the always visible Launcher the latter is more optimal.
This is how it works. There is experimental tab in Unity Compiz plugin. Check with the values in the screenshot. And change the launcher reveal pressure. Optimal value for this is 7. A value of 1 will make the launcher popup faster but it may interrupt our actions.

It's been a long time since I've done any web-development, and I never needed to administer a server myself. However, I can read manuals with the best of them, and when someone needed advice regarding a wordpress installation vulnerable to the TimThumb exploit, I told them to add the follwing to their
<Directory "/path/to/cache/directory">
# disallow changing options with a .htaccess file within the cache directory
AllowOverride None
# disable all extra features, including CGI scripting
# prevents malicious code from running
Options None
# don't let users browse cached files
# prevents the attacker from triggering script execution
Deny from all
# explicitly disable php - shouldn't be necessary, but just in case ;)
php_flag engine off
Was that advice sound? In particular, is this the correct choice of directives to prevent any script execution?

I bought a $600 laptop about a year ago with Windows 7 installed. I had Ubuntu on a previous computer, but I accidentally deleted Windows in the process on my old computer. I like Ubuntu but I still need Windows on this computer, and I'm afraid of messing up again, whether it be with partitions or with Grub.
I really don't have any way of backing up my files at the moment other than a 4GB flash drive, and I need to know if it's safe to try and install Ubuntu alongside this Windows 7 without screwing over my computer. I had a problem with my last computer with partitions; it seems that if you mess up with your partitions, it's irreversible.
Any tips on getting this to work out? The last thing I want is a repeat of what happened my last computer.

#3. Myth: The Withdrawal Method is Completely Unreliable
If you think back to your high school health class, chances are you'll remember your teacher awkwardly demonstrating how to cover a banana with a condom while singing the praises of proper birth control. For example, the boy can't simply pull his wing-wang out of the girl's hoo-ha right before ejaculation and expect that to work as a form of birth control (the so-called "withdrawal method"). After all, he said, that little bit of juice that trickles out at the start sexual activity is more than enough to get a woman pregnant!
Behold the horror your carelessness has wrought.
Let's start with condoms. They're usually a pretty good thing to start with. According to one study, condoms have a 98 percent success rate when used perfectly. Pretty goddamn good, right? So where does the withdrawal method stand -- 50 percent? Maybe 70, tops? Actually, that same study found that when the withdrawal method is used perfectly, it has a 96 percent success rate.
Now we know what you're thinking. The catch is those two extra words thrown in there -- "used perfectly" -- because in a world filled with bumbling dumbasses, who ever manages to use anything perfectly? And you're absolutely right to think that, because with imperfect use the success rate of the withdrawal method falls to 82 percent. Thing is, when condoms are used imperfectly, their success rate also falls to 83 percent. So no matter how you look at it, condoms are only a percent or two better than just using some restraint and calling a retreat before the ol' purple-headed warrior pukes (never let it be said that we at Cracked don't know sexy).
Pictured: sexiness?
But wait, how can that be possible when a dude has sperm trickling out the whole time, even before orgasm? Well, two separate studies discovered that there are hardly any sperm at all in it, and the ones that are tend to be gimpy. Now again, none of this will help you prevent STD's -- that's where condoms really are king. But when it comes to birth control? A little self-control actually goes a long way.
#2. Myth: Sex the Night Before Playing Sports Hinders Performance
When the Pittsburgh Steelers were gearing up to play in the 2006 Super Bowl, how do you think they prepared? By lifting some extra weights? Running some extra drills? Maybe so, but most importantly they were separated from their wives before the big game, because everyone knows that having sex before a game can disrupt your athletic performance. It's been a prevailing theory in professional sports for generations -- it came up in Rocky and Raging Bull, and even the great Muhammad Ali refused to have sex for six weeks before a fight.
Via Wikipedia
Keep the Rope-A-Dope in the ring, Champ.
And if you think about it, it makes a sort of logical sense. After all, not only will sex tire a dude out, but it will also drain his testosterone -- and if there's one thing competitive sports needs more of, it's a heaping helping of testosterone with a side of male aggression.But Actually ...
First of all, you may be surprised to learn that sex really isn't all that tiring. It turns out that a vigorous game of Shame the Kielbasa (we may be doing sex euphemisms wrong) only burns about as many calories as you'd burn if you walked up a couple flights of stairs. If that's the kind of thing that makes you too tired to compete the next day, you're not a professional athlete; you're a professional Wal-Martscooterer.
"After this we can relax with a nice Double Reverse Tennessee Twist."
But what about the testosterone? Well, research has found that sex actually causes the body to produce more testosterone. So, if anything, sex actually makes a man more competitive and aggressive. On the other hand, if he goes without sex for a long enough period of time, he will literally have the testosterone levels of a child. So abstinence might be a good strategy if there's a big hide-and-seek tournament coming up, but otherwise the horizontal bump could actually be beneficial in preparation for the big game.
But what about female athletes? Could sex before an athletic event somehow help them, too? As usual, a guy in a lab coat has the answer, and yes, it turns out that sex is a great natural remedy for women with sports injuries or muscle pains. Sexual activity actually stops a certain pain transmitter from ever getting released, presumably because it's too busy taking a shower and smoking a cigarette.
With sex being such a great athletic booster for both men and women, it's no wonder boning has become an Olympic event.
Don't get too worked up; that's just a participation award.
#1. Myth: A Woman's First Time Is Excruciating
For a guy, losing his virginity is like winning the lottery while simultaneously eating bacon and playing an early-release copy of GTA V, if all those things only took 30 seconds. Girls, on the other hand, dread their first time because it's less winning the lottery and more getting repeatedly stabbed in the groin with a fleshy harpoon.
We can dream, can't we?
It's in pop culture all the time: A happy young couple attempts to lose their virginity. Cue comedic/creepy scene of the girl awkwardly trying to endure the pain, immediately followed by the obligatory off-screen premature ejaculation. Starring Jason Segel or Seth Rogen.But Actually ...
First of all, the idea that the hymen has to be forcibly broken open during a girl's first time is complete horseshit. After literally hundreds of thousands of years of playing groin tag, many of us humans still haven't realized that the hymen is usually gone by the time a girl is old enough to engage in sexual activity -- which gets disturbing when you consider the fact that there are still cultures in which checking the hymen is considered a legitimate way to test for virginity.
"Hmm, this one doesn't have a hymen either. Oh well, burn her with the rest of 'em."
But even if the hymen isn't the problem, there's still the pain, right? It's as inevitable as the guy apologizing and stammering about how "this never happens." Well, the fact of the matter is that the expectation of said pain is so ingrained into the public consciousness that it's become a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy.
You see, the domestic vagina is an extremely sensitive creature that tends to be very much in tune with its owner's mental state. If a girl and her partner approach the situation in a slow and relaxed manner, their first time will be simultaneously smooth and amazing, like watching a fireworks show from a Slip 'n Slide. A vagina that's overwhelmingly apprehensive about the impending pain, on the other hand, tends to be all seized up and unlubricated -- and under those conditions, guess what? The first time's going to hurt. It's sort of like when a guy can't stop thinking about not prematurely ejaculating, thus immediately ejaculating prematurely.
"I'm done lying about it: This happens every single time."
And ... that's just about as far as we can take this advice without jeopardizing our street cred. What do we look like here, fucking Cosmo?

Portugal looking forward to a World Cup return to Cape Town
Skye Grove
Skye is a spontaneous traveller, a citizen of the world and is passionate about unlocking the stories of inspiring destinations like Cape Town. She believes in the power of content, loves street photography, anthropology, urban neighbourhoods and counts London's Shoreditch and Cape Town's city bowl as the two favourite places she has lived and worked in.

As Portugal prepares to take on reigning European champions Spain at Cape Town Stadium tomorrow, coach Carlos Queiroz says that the team should learn from their 0-0 draw against Brazil in the group stages.
Queiroz says that his team loves Cape Town and feels like coming home here. They are hoping the outcome of tomorrow's match will be similar to their crushing 7-0 victory over the People's Republic of Korea last week.
"I believe it will be a quick game of football, with imagination, creativity, speed and great moves," he says. "This is our second game in Cape Town and I hope that it is going to help us. My main concern is that I would like my players to be conscious of the fact that there should not be a sense of mission accomplished (by reaching the Round of 16). While we have matches to play, there is a lot of work still to be done. But we are ready for that work."
Meanwhile Spain's coach Vicente del Bosque says that his team needs to improve after failing to impress in its first three matches, which included a 1-0 loss to the Swiss. Del Bosque has blamed his team's uneven World Cup campaign on its "shock" first game loss, and insists the squad is in good physical shape ahead the clash with Portugal.
Spain forward David Villa has launched a staunch defence of the under-performing Fernando Torres, insisting he is "totally convinced" his strike partner will regain form and score for the team. Villa has been on fire in South Africa, scoring three goals and causing all sorts of problems for the teams who've come up against him.
Whatever the outcome at the Cape Town Stadium tomorrow – we are bound to see an exciting game between two countries that share a richness of cultural and sporting similarities.
Portugal coach, Carlos Queiroz

I wrote this very simple function for my current project called insidelabel() that let's me add a description (label) for an input field inside of the input.
//Label inside of inputfields
function insidelabel(selector, name) {
$(selector).focus(function () {
//Input Value
if ($(this).val() == name) { $(this).val(''); }
$(selector).blur(function () {
if ($(this).val() == '') { $(this).val(name); }
if ($(this).val() == name) {
insidelabel('.t', 'name');
insidelabel('.p', 'enter password');
So when an input is focused the text disappears and when it blurs it has the same text again.
<form method="get" action="">
<input type="text" class="t" value="" /><br/>
<input type="password" class="p" value="" />
However now I wonder how I could extend that function to have a label inside of password fields as well! Sounds weird... Explanation: I want a password field (with
type="password") to have a readable label (like "enter password") inside of it. Once the user enters text the password should be unreadable (dotted). Really bad explanation, I know, but I think you might get what I mean.
I wonder what's the best way to do that? Should I query if an input field is
type="password" and if so I set it to
type="text" - once text is entered I set it back to
type="password" again. Any idea what's the best solution for that?
Here is my example: http://jsfiddle.net/R8Zxu/

acetaminophen, dexbrompheniramine, and pseudoephedrine (cont.)
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking acetaminophen, dexbrompheniramine, and pseudoephedrine (Drixoral Allergy Sinus, Drixoral Cold and Flu, Drixoral Sinus)?
You should not use this medicine if you have severe constipation, a blockage in your stomach or intestines, or if you are unable to urinate.
Do not take this medication without a doctor's advice if you have ever had alcoholic liver disease (cirrhosis) or if you drink more than 3 alcoholic beverages per day. You may not be able to take medicine that contains acetaminophen.
Do not use this medicine if you have untreated or uncontrolled diseases such as glaucoma, asthma or COPD, high blood pressure, heart disease, coronary artery disease, or overactive thyroid.
Do not use this medicine if you have used an MAO inhibitor such as furazolidone (Furoxone), isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam, Zelapar), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) in the last 14 days. A dangerous drug interaction could occur, leading to serious side effects.
Ask a doctor or pharmacist if it is safe for you to take this medicine if you have:
It is not known whether acetaminophen, dexbrompheniramine, and pseudoephedrine will harm an unborn baby. Do not use this medicine without your doctor's advice if you are pregnant.
This medication may pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Antihistamines and decongestants may also slow breast milk production. Do not use this medicine without your doctor's advice if you are breast-feeding a baby.
How should I take acetaminophen, dexbrompheniramine, and pseudoephedrine (Drixoral Allergy Sinus, Drixoral Cold and Flu, Drixoral Sinus)?
Use exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. This medicine is usually taken only for a short time until your symptoms clear up.
Do not take more of this medication than is recommended. An overdose of acetaminophen can damage your liver or cause death.
Do not give this medication to a child younger than 4 years old. Always ask a doctor before giving a cough or cold medicine to a child. Death can occur from the misuse of cough and cold medicines in very young children.

General Discussion
Juvenile hemochromatosis is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the accumulation of iron in various organs of the body. Symptoms usually become apparent before the age of 30. The specific symptoms and severity of juvenile hemochromatosis vary from one person to another. Common symptoms include absent or decreased function of the testes in males or ovaries in females (hypotrophic hypogonadism), heart (cardiac) disease, scarring of the liver (cirrhosis), joint disease, diabetes, and dark discoloration of patches of skin (hyperpigmentation). These symptoms are similar to those seen in classic hereditary hemochromatosis. However, the symptoms associated with juvenile hemochromatosis occur at an early age and are usually more severe. If untreated, juvenile hemochromatosis can potentially cause life-threatening complications. Juvenile hemochromatosis is caused by mutations of one of at least two genes (the HJV and HAMP genes). These mutations are inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.
Juvenile hemochromatosis is classified as an iron overload disorder. It is a separate, distinct disorder from classic hereditary hemochromatosis. Juvenile hemochromatosis is caused by mutations to different genes and generally has an earlier age of onset and more severe iron accumulation.
