On Tap Today: All things Chesney, and a bit of Bilbo
It's a rare sound indeed: a country music concert at Miller Park. The stadium hasn't played host to any full-scale concert since 2010, but now country stages a comeback when Kenny Chesney's "No Shoes Nation" tour stops there Saturday.
If your memories grow dim about how the park's concert experience works, we're here to help. We give you a look at how Chesney changed country music. If you think you already know all this, we offer a quiz you can take on Chesney, one of country's music's biggest stars. And your score is...? Never mind. We also provide a practical guide to enjoying the Chesney show. »Read Full Blog Post
Milwaukee musician Brett Newski to play Hotel Foster May 24
In 2011, Brett Newski left his job, bought a ticket to Bangkok, drove a motorbike to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam, and began a new life and a new band.
Feeling isolated and burned out by the logistical challenges of touring, he moved back to Milwaukee in February 2013. But Newski's life isn't any less adventurous. The 27-year-old has played in 16 countries and on every continent but Antarctica. He's in the midst of one of his most aggressive touring years yet, wrapping up a European jaunt across Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Ireland and the U.K., his goal of 200 shows for 2014 inching ever closer to certainty. »Read Full Article
Janet Burroway's books look at son's suicide, women's changing roles
Spring brings two new books from the hand of novelist and playwright Janet Burroway:"Losing Tim: A Memoir," her search for some understanding of her son's suicide, and "A Story Larger Than My Own: Women Writers Look Back on Their Lives and Careers," a thought-provoking anthology of essays from women born in the 1930s, '40s and early '50s.
Though disparate topics, the books have in common the idea that looking at the past helps us understand the present, and both benefit from Burroway's abiding curiosity, her sense of decency and literary sensibilities. »Read Full Article
Ten Chimneys celebrates anniversaries with special events May 26
May 26 is a magic date for Ten Chimneys in Genesee Depot, the former home of Broadway darlings Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne. On that date the couple would have celebrated their 92nd wedding anniversary. It is also the day 10 years ago that the home achieved National Historic Landmark status. And the 11th anniversary of the estate being open to the public for tours. So, naturally, it's also Wisconsin State Ten Chimneys Day.
To celebrate these milestones, the Ten Chimneys Foundation is throwing a little fete at 9 a.m. and offering champagne and coffee to visitors. Tours of the estate that day will cost $26, of course, a discount from the usual fee of $35. »Read Full Article
Zandt conquered low, high pressure of forecasting
He was the little boy who possessed thermometers, wind speed indicators and gauges of all kinds. His father put a big map of the United States behind plexiglass so that young Paul Zandt could stand in front of it, draw on it indicating what the weather would do, then erase it and start all over again.
The fascination with weather — the beauty, the mystery, the challenge of predicting — began when he was about 5 years old. »Read Full Article
On Tap Today: Wye Oak, art, technology and green drinks
Hello and welcome to the middle of your week. Here's a bit of what's going on today.
This should be an interesting one. Wye Oak is up tonight at Turner Hall. The band snagged some amazing reviews with its folkie, indie-rock sound a few years ago but decided to, well, give up some instruments with the new record. Critics are in a tizzy about it. Go hear the band for yourself. »Read Full Blog Post
OneRepublic to headline Marcus Amphitheater July 1
The Marcus Amphitheater lineup for Summerfest 2014 is complete. Fest officials confirmed Wednesday that OneRepublic will headline the amphitheater with opening support from soul-pop singer Mayer Hawthorne and alternative pop-rock act American Authors.
OneRepublic, the pop-rock group fronted by go-to dramatic pop producer Ryan Tedder (Adele, Beyoncé), has been on the ascent since the band's debut single "Apologize" 10 years ago, with subsequent multiplatinum-selling singles such as "Stop and Stare," "All the Right Moves," "Secrets" and its latest major hit, "Counting Stars" from last year's "Native." »Read Full Article
From Luke Bryan to Lady Gaga, how the lineup came together
After years of second-guessing from armchair concert bookers, Summerfest's Marcus Amphitheater lineup this year is silencing critics.
The 47th edition of Summerfest kicks off June 25 with this year's Super Bowl halftime star Bruno Mars on opening night, and Usher's only U.S. summer show on closing night. In between, there's everything from country king Luke Bryan to headline-sparking pop star Lady Gaga, from resurrected hip-hop duo Outkast to a final Milwaukee show from Motley Crue. Even Alpine Valley loyalist Dave Matthews Band is skipping the East Troy amphitheater and playing the Big Gig this summer. »Read Full Article(38)

FORT WORTH, Texas -- It wasn't Dan Wheldon who Danica Patrick was battling at the end. Patrick was fighting to win.
The Texas Motor Speedway crowd of 86,000 was standing and screaming, hoping to see Patrick earn her first victory in the Bombardier Learjet 550.
Close, but not quite.
Sam Hornish Jr. held off Tony Kanaan and Patrick in a three-car show for a dramatic final 10 laps.
Patrick finished a career-best third, a few feet behind Andretti Green teammate Kanaan. Neither of them could catch Hornish.
He won by .0786 of a second, the seventh time a TMS IndyCar Series event was decided by less than a tenth of a second.
"When you lead here, you're probably the slowest of all the cars," Hornish said. "But we were pretty much flawless all night. It feels awesome to win at a place where I have so many good memories of winning races and winning championships."
Hornish became the first three-time winner at TMS. He won twice for Panther Racing, and clinched his first two IndyCar Series titles on the 1.5-mile oval.
But this was his first TMS victory for Penske Racing. He had gone eight consecutive races without a win, dating back to last season.
"We weren't having a bad year," Hornish said. "But we just couldn't get things click to win a race."
Hornish is a quiet guy who doesn't look for attention, so this was a perfect week by his standards.
All the attention went to Patrick and Wheldon, who were portrayed all week as feuding combatants. And Patrick remained the big story when the race ended.
Officially, she won the on-track battle with Wheldon, who finished 15th after crashing when he couldn't avoid a wreck in front of him. But Wheldon ran ahead of Patrick most of the race.
No one will remember that part. People will remember that Patrick challenged the two leaders at the end.
"It definitely feels good," Patrick said. "We're starting to mesh and we're getting better."
Kanaan praised Patrick, and he is ready to shave her head. The AGR guys plan to shave Patrick's long black mane when she wins.
"I thing she did a hell of a job tonight," Kanaan said. "We all know [a Patrick victory] is coming. I can't wait to shave her head."
The AGR drivers had another solid effort, including Indy 500 winner Dario Franchitti, who finished fourth.
But it was a horrible night in the end for Wheldon. He was running with the lead pack all night before a multi-car accident with 31 laps remaining ended his chances. Scott Dixon, Wheldon's Target Ganassi Racing teammate, and Helio Castroneves also were involved in the crash.
The leaders had just cycled the final green-flag pit stops when Dixon and Ed Carpenter bumped wheels on the backstretch. They were trying to avoid the car of A.J. Foyt IV, who had a tire come off in front of them.
Wheldon came up behind them and slammed into the wrecked cars.
"A little bit of bad luck for us," Wheldon said. "There really wasn't anything I could do."
Kanaan fared better, managing to squeeze between a bouncing tire on his left and a wrecked car on his right as he zoomed by.
It led to a fun finish for an event that started by playing up the Patrick-Wheldon rivalry. The Rocky theme played in the pre-race activities. A bell rung and a PA announcer bellowed: "Are you ready to rumble at the Speedway?"
Wheldon and Patrick took different views of the hype. Each of the drivers walked down the frontstretch grandstand as they were introduced.
Wheldon was giving high-fives to the crowd before adding a playful 1-2 punch with his fists. Patrick wouldn't play along, meekly waving to the crowd with a scowl on her face.
Apparently Patrick was done with the angry rivals talk, which she brought on from her post-race confrontation with Wheldon at Milwaukee last week. The problems between them started when Wheldon touched wheels with Patrick as she was passing him.
After the race Saturday, she said she understands the media frenzy caused by her feud with Wheldon.
"It's a good thing for the league," she said. "Really, I like it. And I guess I respond well to it."
Patrick had issues with Wheldon again Saturday night when they were racing close to each other. They raced wheel-to-wheel early in the event, but Patrick was angry with Wheldon's driving style later in the race.
"He was chopping down on me in the corners," she said. "He would be really high in the middle of the corner, then chop down at the end of the corner. It takes the air away from you."
The only real altercation of the race was between Tomas Scheckter and Marco Andretti. The two drivers were headed down the frontstretch when Andretti turned down and clipped Scheckter's front right wheel on Lap 87.
Scheckter went spinning through the grass with a broken wing and mangled axle. Scheckter was furious. He got out of the car and headed up the track, waiting for Andretti to come around before throwing his gloves at Andretti's car.
That little fit won't come close to equaling the attention Patrick and Wheldon generated this week.
The fans saw a fight all right. Patrick fought with two of the best drivers in the league to try to win.
That beats a little argument any day.

Creep in the Cellar has a point - the researchers failed to determine the prevalence of shocker enthusiasts among the infected.
When are they approving that HPV vaccine for guys? I mean, too late for most fags my age, but it would be nice if the young queers could avoid anal cancer.
I blame splashback.
As if I don't have enough things to worry about.
some pls. explain is this saying 70% of all women have this or does this apply to some subgroup?
yuk -- only thing I've ever heard that even makes it even cross my mind for one second to "turn gay"
This is why boys in middle school should get the HPV vaccine as well as girls.
@6... most adult women will eventually be infected with some strain of HPV, so, while I haven't checked that 70% number, that seems right to me. I have it, but not the kind that causes cervical cancer. It just makes my pap smears abnormal every once in awhile...
Reading this thread, I saw a post about a young hooker with a colostomy bag and a giant case of anal HPV on her stoma. Eww. Seriously.

less involved in their parents' lives, not more. After all, imagine a politician making the following pitch to voters: "I created an environment where people could care for their parents in the way they used to before government got in the way in the first place!" In their zeal to "save" seniors, politicians are overlooking the obvious: the free market has largely worked very well. Seniors are living longer, healthier lives, and they are doing so at prices that would have been unthinkable even 15 years ago. Two-thirds of seniors have some private health insurance for prescription drugs, and those medications have dramatically altered the health care landscape. Prescription drugs are the remedy of choice precisely because the free market has been allowed to operate. Pharmaceuticals made a boatload of cash producing drugs that lowered the cost of health care and reduced the incidence of invasive surgeries. Not surprisingly, they're still at it-—but only so long as they can continue to profit from making us healthier. Dick Gephardt looks at a glass that is more than half-full, and he declares the water intolerable. The situation that caused the Democrat demagogue to quiver with emotion? His mother has to pay $200 a month for glaucoma medication. $200 for her eyesight—-less than 2% of her son's monthly paycheck-—would seem a small price to pay, yet Gephardt's entitlement mindset has led him to believe that he should not be responsible for shouldering such a light burden. Dick Gephardt may not want to care for his own mother, but the rest of us should want to care for our own families. Government has far better things to do than get in our way.

Trustees at the University of Alabama have approved a 12 percent tuition increase for students at the Tuscaloosa campus.
At the University's other campuses in Birmingham and Huntsville, students will pay nine to 10 percent more. The committee cited a need for more money to provide faculty and staff pay raises.
On the 20,000 student Tuscaloosa campus, undergraduates from Alabama will pay $4,630 in tuition and required fees for 30 hours of class credit next year. That's $496 more than 2003's $4,134.
They're not the only school raising prices, last week, Auburn trustees approved a nine percent increase, and two weeks ago, University of South Alabama trustees approved a 13 percent increase.
University of Alabama Tuition Increase 2003 - $4,134 and in 2004 - $4,630

Guidelines and Pedagogy
Thematic Areas
Honors seminars align with one of the honors thematic areas - community engagement, creativity, global studies, leadership and research. Seminars are not expected to align with all or multiple thematic areas. Rather, an in-depth focus in one area is better received than a course that tries to fit in multiple areas on a surface level.
Experiential Learning
Honors seminars engage students in experiential learning and in reflection on their learning. They should challenge students with creative projects/activities that take learning beyond the typical classroom, integrate theory to practice, provide contextual complexity and provide opportunity for reflection. Experiential components vary widely and may include visits to local or regional sites, fieldwork, service-learning, integration of lab work, performances, international or study tours or other activities.
Broad Student Audience and Unique Nature
Honors seminars should challenge and broaden the intellectual horizons of UHP students at all levels, regardless of the disciplines in which students are majoring. They are taken by students across disciplines. They should be rigorous and are not introductory survey courses. At the same time, honors seminars do not have prerequisites. Proposals can come from any discipline/college. Interdisciplinary courses are encouraged.
Course Pedagogy
Faculty/student dialogue should serve as the primary mode of interaction with lecture kept to a minimum. Students should be challenged by reading primary sources and writing assignments that demand clear articulation of ideas. Use of innovative technology and collaborative work are encouraged. Evaluation of students should be based on their willingness to explore and critique concepts, rather than on absorption of facts.
Learning Portfolios
Students are required to maintain learning portfolios to integrate and share their learning during their time in the UHP. They are expected to create areas in their portfolios for each honors seminar completed, reflecting on and integrating their learning. Please keep this in mind as you design your seminar and consider what evidence/artifacts students may include in their portfolio as well as what opportunities for reflection on learning will be included in your seminar. View sample portfolios.
Study Tours
If a study tour will be included in the seminar (typically international), it can take place during the break period immediately following the semester or during spring break. Spring break study tours are encouraged. While we can accept proposals for seminars with domestic study tours, there is typically not enough interest from students to run them. With that, it's now rare for a domestic study tour proposal to be approved. Proposals for honors seminars with study tours must include an itinerary and budget. In addition, we expect that faculty have direct experience in the study tour location. Faculty will need to share with us their knowledge of and experience in the destination country and culture.

What is the window during which division into twins is possible (for instance can it still happen after implantation in the uterus)? Is one twin the "original" and the other its clone?
In the case of two healthy, viable identical twins, the separation generally occurs at the first division from one zygote to two cells. So they are equal partners in the split, not an original and a clone. During the first several cell divisions in the morula and blastula, there is no significant growth. So these divisions produce smaller and smaller cells. If one of these smaller cells is separated, it is very unlikely to be substantial enough to survive and implant in the uterus.

MOORHEAD, Minn. (AP) -- A Catholic school in Moorhead, Minn., has terminated a fifth grade teacher who told administrators she disagreed with the church's stance on gay marriage.
The Forum newspaper reports that teacher Trish Cameron was notified June 1 that she wouldn't be offered a new contract at St. Joseph's Catholic School. That's after she filled out a self-evaluation form where she admitted to personally disagreeing with the church's stance on some issues, but said she never brought her own opinions into the classroom.
Cameron says in a follow-up conversation with administrators, she voiced disagreement with the church's opposition to gay marriage. She says she was then asked to resign.
A letter to the school's families says Cameron was asked to resign because of an "unfortunate circumstance."

An 8-alarm fire was reported in East Boston Wednesday. (Photo courtesy of the Boston Fire Department: bostonfire/twitter)
Weeks after two Boston firefighters were killed trying to extinguish a 9-alarm fire on Beacon Street, firefighters worked to control an 8-alarm fire in East Boston Wednesday night.
The blaze heavily damaged a two-and-a-half-story wood-frame house and spread to a car and two nearby houses, the AP reports.
New England Cable News reports Fire Commissioner John Hasson said at the scene that the fire started in the basement of a two-family house on Lexington Street. The heavy fire was contained to that house.
(MORE: More Signals Heard In Search for Missing Jet)
Hasson said everyone was accounted for. The only injury reported was to a firefighter who had a minor eye injury.
Similar to last month's double-fatal fire on Beacon Street, firefighters faced windy conditions, said weather.com meteorologist Chrissy Warrilow. "Sustained winds of 15 mph were blowing from the northwest in Boston, at times gusting up to 30 mph."
The fire department had called for eight alarms to bring in extra equipment after the fire was reported just before 7:30 p.m. in the tightly built neighborhood near Logan Airport. It was brought under control before 9 p.m.
Below are the latest reports on the fire from social media.

You might be wondering where all the winners of our Premium Whisky Advent Calendar competition competitions are. With a calendar being given away every week in November to lucky winners who purchased Tasting Sets, there should be more winners! We do apologise. With Christmas on its way, we've been a bit snowed under getting all sorts of exciting stuff prepared for the holiday season. (Keep your eyes peeled!)

For this week's #MasterofCocktails we're making 'fluffy ruffs'!
Whilst leafing through The Savoy Cocktail Book, I came across the Fluffy Ruffles Cocktail. Now, as you'll no doubt know, Fluffy Ruffs are a suggestion for the Butterfield Diet Plan, so my interest was immediately piqued. Whilst working on this one I was even officially re-twat by @MrBButterfield himself! We do have a warehouse. The invitation's there Brian...
The recipe took a bit of fiddling before I was happy with it - some of the quantities and even ingredients needed changing. The final result of said tinkering is a delicious cocktail that calls for Rum, Sugar, Lime and Quinquina.
What's not to like?

Winning can be tough. Rugby players sometimes get their teeth knocked out to win. Wrestlers have to dropkick everyone in sight to get a taste of the gold. Chess is just difficult to play, let alone beat someone at it. To other people, like this week's winner of our Premium Whisky Advent Calendar competition, winning was as easy as buying a delicious Tasting Set and letting the prizes roll in.

42. I'll save you the trouble of counting.
Turns out that it's not only the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything, but is also the number of releases from That Boutique-y Whisky Company to date.
I'm pleased to say that numbers 39-42 are as fabulous as those that preceded them, and am delighted to reveal that we've got yet another 4 releases to come before the end of the year (including time-travelling barmen, and an absolute belter of an Islay that's something of an exclusive).

The 11th November 2013 will forever go down in the annals of history as 3D-Day, the day when the chaps off that there Caskstrength.net officially launched their fourth whisky bottling as well as a piece of cinema that may well prove to be the most significant televisual event since Quantum Leap, and I don't say that lightly.
'A' was for Arran, 'B' was for BenRiach and 'C' was for Cutty Sark. That leads us to 'D' in Neil and Joel's epic A-Z series, and why have one 'D' when you can have 3? A tremendous blended malt constructed from the Diageo trio of Dailuaine, Dalwhinnie and Dufftown single malts was the result. It's quite literally 3'D' malt whisky, and who doesn't love a bit of 3D?

Whisky cocktails don't get much more classic than the Blood and Sand, so it was inevitable that it would feature on #MasterofCocktails sooner or later. This version has, however, been thoroughly pimped with some snazzy new ingredients!
Most of the tweets I received last night went along the lines of "I need to get me some of that", almost regardless of the ingredient that was being mentioned. They were all 100% spot on too - you do indeed need these in your life as they're properly crazy-good!
Let's get amongst them.

"Hip hip hooray – new product day!
All the world was heard to say,
Because they knew with certainty,
Mulled wine was 'fixed', eternally..."
Ah mulled wine. The most Christmassy of drinks. Head and shoulders even above Eggnog. There's really nothing like it to warm the cockles, instil a sense of bonhomie, and usher in the festive season properly.

There are many schools of thought about what the best part of Christmas is. Some say it's the roast dinner with all the trimmings. Others say it's the same Christmas movie every year (at the Smith household, it's the Tom Hanks comedy masterpiece "Big"). Many say that the best part is getting awesome presents, but here at Master of Malt, we think that giving awesome presents is our favourite part of Christmas, so much so that we're getting started early this year with our fabulous, festive competition where you could win a Premium Whisky Advent Calendar!

Who doesn't like a bit of Hanky Panky? This week we made a classic gin-based cocktail, and if you're yet to try this particular one, then you're in for a treat!
The history of The Hanky Panky is fascinating, having first been knocked up by the Ada 'Coley' Coleman, head bartender at the Savoy back in the early 1900s. When renowned actor Charles Hawtrey requested something with a kick, she tinkered away, creating, but not naming, this very cocktail. When the opportunity next arose to serve it to her famous guest, it was he who exclaimed "that's the real hanky panky!", and he was dead right!

At one point last fall, Kelly Larkan begin to wonder whether being a part of a Division I volleyball team was even worth it.
The former River Road salutatorian who signed to play volleyball with Southern Methodist University in 2001was the victim of a fluke knee dislocation during an all-star match in May 2002 and was wallowing away on the Lady Mustangs' bench.
"It definitely went through my mind," Larkan said by phone Tuesday. "I wasn't able to play, but I was still traveling and I still had to go to all the practices and I had to sit there and watch.
"I was extremely frustrated last year. I was miserable."
What a difference a year makes.
Now as the Lady Mustangs' starting middle blocker, the 5-foot-11 redshirt sophomore has blossomed into one of the most potent hitters in the Western Athletic Conference.
Larkan pounded her way into the top 30 in the nation in hitting percentage with a .411 attack percentage. Three weeks later, she has dropped to .345, but she still leads the Lady Mustangs in that category. She's third on the team in kills with 174.
Larkan attributes her recent success to an unlikely source - her right knee.
"After sitting on the sideline, I learned a lot about the game and I got a whole new perspective. It gave me a whole new appreciation for the game."
Believe it or not, but the Amarillo Gorillas will open training camp Monday at Cal Farley Coliseum. The Gorillas got some good news a few weeks ago. Goaltender Shawn Degagne, who was invited to participate in the Dallas Stars training camp in Colorado, was released by Dallas a week after his arrival. Obviously it was bad news for Degagne, but at least the Gorillas won't have to scour the planet searching for a replacement with their opener against Lubbock less than a month away.
The Gorillas picked up Degagne's backup Tuesday, signing former New Mexico netminder Scott Myers. Last season, Myers' record was 6-12-3 with a 3.90 goals against average.
By the way, talk around the Central Hockey League suggests Amarillo's postseason run last year was an aberration. We'll see.
What's worse right now? AISD football or a shoulder-length mullet? Consider this: All four AISD football teams - Amarillo High, Caprock, Palo Duro and Tascosa - are a combined 5-13 so far this season. And remember, two out of those five wins came against fellow-AISD opponents (PD beat Tascosa, the Sandies beat PD). It's AISD football by a strand.
Some area high school tennis teams are finally getting some state-wide respect. In the latest Texas Tennis Coaches Association's prep poll, Tascosa came in No. 8 in Class 5A, while Palo Duro did the same in 4A. PD's coach Koby Otto and Tascosa's Luis Zavala have their programs pointed in the right direction.
WT setter Kendra Morgan is having a season most senior college volleyball players dream of. As the school's all-time assists leader, Morgan has tallied four triple-doubles this year, and the Lady Buffs just reached the midpoint of the season. She's averaging 11.93 assists per game.
Morgan is not the nation's best Division II setter. That distinction belongs to BYU-Hawai'i junior Kaala Lo. However, Morgan's gaudy numbers will be good enough to land her a first-team All-American selection at the end of the year. Lo will have to wait another season.
Freshman WT female soccer player Sarit Shenar, an Israeli national, has been called up by Israel's national soccer team, which will play in the European Championship qualifying match against Belarus on Oct. 18. She's slated to return to WT later this month.
Since joining the Lady Buffs in late August, the 20-year-old forward has netted six goals in four games. And get this: Shenar is a veteran of the Israeli Defense Force, meaning she's proficient in the use of automatic weapons. Like all Israelis, she was required by law to serve at least two years in the Israeli military. Shenar gives all new meaning to the term striker.

The relationship between fantasy owners' final roster spot and the waiver wire often resembles a carousel during the typical fantasy hoops season. Players on the bubble of fantasy relevance are added and dropped several times throughout the season, depending upon circumstances on both their teams as well as the fantasy teams of their potential owners. That being said, many of the players highlighted in this week's column have been recommended for pickup before but were short-term adds. Now, they're proving worthy of that final roster spot once again, and down the stretch utilization of games played and that final roster spot makes all the difference in your standings.
Additionally, there are several players who at one point in the season were owned in nearly all leagues but were widely dropped because of injury or poor play. These players break my rule of highlighting those owned in less than one-third of leagues, but I feel it's worth spotlighting them for those leagues in which they are available. Let's take a look at some of the top players to target on the waiver wire this week:
Devin Harris, PG, Utah Jazz (70.3 percent owned): After starting as perhaps the biggest bust of the season, with an average draft position of 66 and single-digit scoring with epic drop-offs in field goal attempts, free throw attempts and percentage and 3-pointers, Harris is worth owning again. He's averaging 14.2 points, 5.2 assists, 1.4 3-pointers and 1.6 steals per game in his past five, and although he'll need to explode for the second half to make it up to fantasy owners who spent a mid-round pick on him, he's ranked 15th on the Player Rater over the past 15 days and deserves a spot on all fantasy rosters.
Gerald Henderson, SG/SF, Charlotte Bobcats (37.2 percent owned): Despite his lack of impressive peripherals, it's difficult to find 15 points per game on the waiver wire, and that's what Henderson is capable of providing on a consistent basis. He missed nine games with a bum hammy and was widely dropped, but returned to the Bobcats' lineup Wednesday and promptly hoisted 13 shot attempts and will provide much needed offense for the floundering Bobcats. His lack of 3s limits his value, although the fact he doesn't hurt your field goal percentage (46.4 percent from the floor), as well as the 0.9 steals per game he offers, make him worth owning in any league if you need scoring.
Andray Blatche, PF/C, Washington Wizards (32.6 percent owned): Blatche's mercurial nature is maddening to fantasy owners who see his stats from last April -- 23.6 points, 10.3 rebounds, 2.1 steals, 1.3 blocks, 50.3 percent from the floor -- and expect so much more than he consistently provides. He's set to return from a calf injury that's kept him sidelined since Jan. 28, and even though he's frustrating to own he's worth it when healthy because of his high ceiling. The distribution of playing time in Washington is as erratic as the personalities of many of its players, and Blatche has the tools to step in and immediately average 18 points and nine rebounds for the rest of the season if things are clicking. Don't expect him to do that, but he'll put up roster-worthy numbers, has eligibility at power forward and center and has too much upside to be unowned when healthy.
Brandon Bass, PF/C, Boston Celtics (31.2 percent owned): Bass is the classic example of a player on the bubble who is worthy of owning when he's healthy but difficult to hang onto if he's going to miss time. He was dropped in most formats when he missed six games in mid-February with a knee injury, then he came back to a gift-wrapped gig in the starting lineup with Jermaine O'Neal sidelined indefinitely with a wrist injury. With Bass it's all about percentages, and with career marks of 49.6 percent from the floor and 82.0 percent from the stripe, he's the rare 50/80 percent player who helps significantly in both categories. He doesn't provide much, other than double-digit scoring and percentages, but his 0.7 blocks and 0.4 steals per game are just enough that he's not a complete sinkhole in the defensive categories. He's averaging career highs across the board, and now that he's back and starting he is worthy of a spot on any team that needs help in percentages.
Gustavo Ayon, PF, New Orleans Hornets (10.2 percent owned): Ayon is good for defensive stats only but averaged 7.1 rebounds, 1.1 blocks and 1.3 steals in 25.6 minutes per game in February and appears entrenched as the starting power forward in New Orleans. In Europe last season, he averaged 6.3 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.4 blocks per game in 23.0 minutes, so his ability to contribute in three categories is legit, and he has nowhere to go but up. He was dropped in many leagues after a string of four consecutive single-digit scoring efforts, but he remained solid in the defensive categories during that stint, and that's what you own him for. Feel free to spend a roster spot on Ayon if you're set in offensive stats but need help in boards, steals and blocks.
Nikola Vucevic, PF/C, Philadelphia 76ers (5.7 percent owned): Spencer Hawes is out for at least another two weeks, so Vucevic will continue to see decent minutes off the bench. He boasts legitimate back-to-the-basket ability and averaged a respectable 7.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.1 blocks and 0.5 steals while shooting 53.3 percent from the floor in 18.8 minutes per game in February. Last season at USC, he averaged 17.1 points, 10.3 rebounds, 1.4 blocks, 0.5 steals and even 0.9 3s per game then averaged 16.8 points per game in Europe. He flashed some of that ability on Feb. 22, with 18 points and eight rebounds in 28 minutes, and the Sixers are committed to developing him after spending the 16th overall pick on him. If you need decent boards, blocks and field goal percentage, he's worth a deep-league spot at least while Hawes is out.
Brendan Haywood, C, Dallas Mavericks (3.4 percent owned): Haywood's got a window to establish some value with Dirk Nowitzki questionable for Friday's game with a tweaked back and Lamar Odom away from the team for the next few games. He has played well recently, too, averaging 9.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 0.8 steals per game in his past five. He's worth considering only if you're desperate for a center, but he's scored in double figures in consecutive games, the first time he's done so since 2010.
Mike Dunleavy, SG/SF, Milwaukee Bucks (2.7 percent owned): He's definitely not flashy, but Dunleavy scores with consistency, notching double digits in eight of his past 12 games with February averages of 11.1 points and 1.3 3s per game. He doesn't kill your shooting percentage with a 44.7 percent clip, but he shoots better than 80 percent from the stripe and averages just 1.0 turnover per game, so even though he doesn't provide steals or blocks he gives you consistent double-digit scoring without hurting you anywhere. He's coming off a 28-point, five 3-pointer effort on Tuesday and is a cheap source of scoring who does nothing to instill excitement in fantasy owners but provides help in a category that is scarce on the waiver wire.
Brandon Rush, SG/SF, Golden State Warriors (2.4 percent owned): Rush's value is markedly higher in turnover formats, as he quietly averaged 1.2 3s, 0.7 blocks and 0.8 steals per game with just 0.3 turnovers in February. Given the fact that Dorell Wright has been all over the place this season and seen his minutes fluctuate accordingly, Rush provides some stability and will continue seeing significant minutes for the Warriors. Players who average more 3s, steals and blocks than turnovers are rare, so if you need a bump in a few statistical areas but can't stomach any added turnovers, Rush provides just that. Don't expect consistent scoring, but if you need some peripheral stats and a player who doesn't hurt you anywhere (48.5 percent from the floor, 77.3 percent from the stripe, 0.9 turnovers per game), Rush is nice glue at the guard position in turnover leagues.
Daniel Green, SG, San Antonio Spurs (1.5 percent owned): On the surface, Green is more appealing with Manu Ginobili sidelined. However, in the four games that Ginobili played between injuries, Green played at least 21 minutes in each and has scored in double figures in three of the four contests, so he should retain his value even when Ginobili comes back. He's experienced the typical ups and downs that occur when a player sees big playing time for the first time in his career, but he's been performing well lately, averaging 10.8 points, 1.6 3s and 1.2 steals per game in his past five. My favorite aspect of Green's game is his 0.7 blocks per game, which is backed by his 1.3 blocks per game as a senior at UNC and the fact he's establishing a reputation as a stout defender. It's difficult to get blocks from the guard position, so if you're engaged in a tight swats race, Green provides them from an atypical position and shouldn't see his numbers affected much upon Ginobili's impending return.

Health & Baby
Bringing Out Baby ... at Home
But Going to the Hospital Is Not 'Failure' continued...
"As long as the woman is followed by an experienced home birth practitioner who will transfer for hospital birth in case of any problems, home birth is not dangerous," Olsen says. He refers to two reviews showing that the infant death rate for planned home birth is very low and similar to that for planned hospital birth, provided the mother is healthy and the pregnancy is normal.
Low-risk pregnancies had infant death rates of 2.0 per 1,000 for home birth and 2.2 per 1,000 for hospital birth, says David Anderson, PhD, associate professor of economics at Centre College in Danville, Ky. Only 3% of low-risk mothers intending to deliver at home end up with C-sections, compared with 8-27% of low-risk mothers delivering in the hospital.
All experts interviewed stressed the importance of regular prenatal care in recognizing and preventing potential problems, and of having physician backup for in-hospital delivery in case something goes wrong. Arranging for a pediatrician to see the newborn within 24 hours is also essential, Bailes says.
Other Benefits: Less Costly, Fewer Germs, More Bonding
"The average uncomplicated vaginal birth costs 68% less in a home than in a hospital," Anderson tells WebMD. Home birth is seldom covered by insurance, Monto says, but Lindberg points out that paying out-of-pocket for home birth may be less expensive than purchasing a pregnancy rider. HomeFirst charges $750 for physician-attended home delivery.
But the real benefits of home birth can't be measured in dollars or in statistics, these experts agree. Mother-child bonding, parenting, breast-feeding, and infant health may all be enhanced by the home birth experience.
"It's a family-centered event -- those first early hours are so precious," Lindberg says. "You're bringing a baby into a home full of love rather than a hospital full of germs."
Mothers and babies may be exposed to more types of disease-carrying organisms in the hospital environment, particularly in the nursery where all newborns are clustered together. While the home environment is hardly sterile, at least the mother has been exposed to the same organisms before and may have built up immunity against them.

Port Washington will be in hog heaven next year. City officials on Tuesday gave their approval to a plan by Port Washington Main Street and Suburban Harley-Davidson in Thiensville to host a street festival in conjunction with the iconic motorcycle-maker's 110th anniversary celebration over Labor Day weekend 2013. The festival, which is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 29, would be held at the beginning of the anniversary celebration, organizers said. It would run from 3 to 11 p.m. and initial estimates are that it could draw as many as 20,000 people to downtown Port, Main Street Executive Director Sara Grover said. "This would be a massive undertaking," Grover said. "We never take an event lightly." Suburban officials will seek Harley-Davidson's endorsement to see if the event could be designated as an official part of the anniversary celebration, said Amy Gannon, a member of the organizing committee. If the company endorses it, the festival would be listed on the official anniversary celebration tickets that will go out to roughly 500,000 riders, she said. Even if it isn't endorsed by the corporation, it will still go on, organizers said. The one-time festival, which would be patterened after Main Street's Community Street Festival, would be held on Franklin Street and Grand Avenue, stretching from the foot of St. Mary's Hill to the corner of Wisconsin and Franklin streets next to City Hall. Among the attractions would be music, a variety of vendors from within the city and outside the community and fireworks. Local businesses would be encouraged to stay open until 10 p.m. that day. "There are a lot of great ideas right now," said Cathy Wilger, a member of the organizing committee. "The excitement seems to be growing as more and more people find out about this." Funding for the festival would come largely through sponsorships and in-kind donations, the organizers said. Grover said she will also seek a grant to help defray expenses. Ald. Jim Vollmar said that, although he likes the idea of the festival, he is worried that the city may not attract many of the motorcycle riders. When Harley celebrated its centennial, the city prepared for an influx of visitors but only a few showed up, he said. "I'm enthusiastic about this, but I'm concerned we might get ready for a big party and no one comes," he said. Gannon noted that Suburban Harley is one of the state's largest Harley-Davidson dealerships, and the company decided it wanted to host a celebration in Port. That support will help draw people to the city for the event, she said. "Everything we're doing is to truly set us apart from the other block parties (being held by other dealerships in conjunction with the anniversary celebration)," Gannon said. Wilger also noted that Suburban Harley is talking about developing a lakefront motorcycle ride that would lead enthusiasts to Port Washington. City officials were enthusiastic about the idea. "Obviously we're a tourist town. We like bringing people into our community. This is a unique event," Ald. Dan Becker said. "I don't see anything bad that can come of this." Ald. Paul Neumyer, a retired Mequon police officer and current acting Thiensville police chief, said that when Suburban last hosted a party for Harley's anniversary, everything went smoothly.
Just nine years after winning voter approval to borrow $2.6 million, the Port Washington-Saukville School Board has repaid the loan and is free of referendum debt. The district made its last payment of $465,000 at the beginning of the month. "This is terrific," Supt. Michael Weber said. "We have no referendum debt. There just aren't many districts in this situation. "This is a milestone for me. In all the years I've been a superintendent (22), I've never been in a district that has made a final payment on its referendum debt until now." The money was spent on a host of improvement projects throughout the district that included heating upgrades, a new Port Washington High School gym floor and a makeover of outdoor athletic facilities. "For what we were able to accomplish with $2.6 million, this was a good referendum," Weber said. More than allowing the district to accomplish deferred maintenance projects, the referendum, and its failed predecessor, set the tone for the district for years to come. In November 2002, voters rejected a more costly referendum proposal. Stunned but determined to fund a more austere improvement initiative, school officials turned to their constituents for guidance. "I remember walking through Harry's (restaurant) and people saying, 'OK, Patty, you asked for our input so you better sit down and talk with us for awhile,'" School Board President Patty Ruth said. Board member Myron Praeger said, "We actually run our district the way we do today because we asked the community what it thought and we listened." Five months after the referendum defeat, voters approved a revised borrowing plan and officials vowed to change the way they did business. First, a School Board wary of saddling the district with long-term debt decided to repay the $2.6 million in just nine years despite foreseeable financial challenges. "To take such a short term on this amount of money really shows the fiscal responsibility of the board," Director of Business Services Jim Froemming said. Then the board made good on a pledge Weber announced prior to the second referendum vote by creating a budget line item for building and grounds maintenance so the district would not have to ask voters again for permission to borrow for routine upgrades. Today, the district has a $200,000 maintenance fund and is considering increasing it to $300,000. "Eventually, we may need to go to referendum to take care of expensive projects like the replacement of roofs, but that's a lot different than going to referendum to fund yearly maintenance," Weber said.
Port Washington aldermen were expected on Wednesday to consider revising the terms of a $125,000 revolving loan it gave Lighthouse Development to improve the Smith Bros. Marketplace building almost two years ago. The move is a concession to the fact that Lighthouse Development will have to do substantial work on the landmark downtown building before Duluth Trading Co. moves in, City Administrator Mark Grams said. "They need money upfront," Grams said. "They're making a lot of improvements to the building. I don't know how many of the improvements they realized they would have to make to secure Duluth." Grams said Tuesday that he would likely recommend that the loan be repaid through the proceeds of the downtown tax incremental financing district. "At least we'll get our money back," he said, adding that the loan will then probably be repaid in about 10 years instead of the roughly 20 years originally envisioned. The tax district is also an appropriate way to repay the loan because Duluth Trading Co.'s move will attract other businesses to downtown, increasing the value of the district, Grams said. "I'm guessing a year from now you're going to see more businesses downtown," he said. Already a number of other stores and businesses have contacted nearby building owners — including the owner of the former M&I Bank building just down the block from the Smith Bros. building — asking about vacant spaces, Grams said. "I'm surprised at the number of people who have come up to me and said they're excited about Duluth coming. I didn't realize how big they are." The city initially made the revolving loan to Lighthouse so it could renovate the Smith Bros. building to accommodate Franklin Energy, which occupies the second floor of the structure. The money was to be used to buy equipment, fixtures and furnishings and help finance capital expenses, aldermen said at the time. Part of the goal in bringing Franklin Energy to downtown was to create additional traffic in the shopping district with the goal of attracting additional stores and offices, they noted. Lighthouse Development has been paying back the revolving loan, Grams said, noting the payments thus far have gone to pay interest. The interest rate on the loan is 1.625%. Aldermen gave conceptual approval to the idea of revising the loan following a closed session before Duluth Trading Co. announced plans to locate its second retail store in Port Washington. Grams said the Common Council isn't necessarily setting a precedent by revising the terms of the loan or allowing TIF funds to be used to repay it, noting the fact Duluth Trading Co. will become a downtown anchor played a significant role in the council's decision. "This is a big company coming into our town," he said. "If it was a Ma and Pa restaurant, I don't know if we would do anything."
Port Washington Ald. Dave Larson said he's believes the city's heading in the right direction, and he's seeking a third term in office to help shepherd the community as it works to realize its potential. But newcomer Tim Schwister said he's seen little improvements in the city's 6th District, and he wants to lead the way toward these advancements. The men will vie for the chance to represent the city's southwest side in the Tuesday, April 3 election. Schwister, 39, of 1414 Willow Dr., said there's more unemployment in the district than elsewhere in the city, and he wants to work to draw industrial business and jobs to the community. "I don't think there's enough of an effort to do that right now," he said. "Several of our elected officials are too concentrated on downtown. People need a place to work, then they can shop downtown." This city's done a good job with the downtown, he said, creating a reasonable business environment there. The city should provide incentives to businesses to come to the community and fill the many vacant buildings here, Schwister added. By attracting jobs, he said, the city will also help the struggling housing market and enable people to realize their dream of owning a home. "I think we should do everything we can to make that dream a reality," Schwister said. Larson, 45, of 509 Summit Dr., said the city has a great opportunity to redefine downtown with the coming of Duluth Trading Co. "The city did some really great things to make that happen," he said of the company's decision to open a store downtown. "Now, we have an opportunity to solicit the businesses we want to see there rather than waiting for them to call." The city should update the marketing study done by the Taurean group to see what businesses would complement the mix downtown, he said, then go after them. The city's biggest role in downtown development, he said, is to create an environment in which it's easy to do business. In the past, he said, the city's been seen as an impediment, but that's changing. As evidence, he pointed to the city's support of plans to renovate the former M&I Bank building. Tied to the downtown is the lakefront, an area where Larson said the city has made leaps forward. The south beach "is fabulous," he said, while the north beach is equally nice. "We've got good access to the north beach," he said, especially since the staircase connecting it to Upper Lake Park was built. "The only thing the city could do, as technology advances, is reduce the footprint of the wastewater treatment plant."
The city's making progress on developing the coal dock, Larson said, noting much of the funding for the infrastructure is coming from grants. But now, he said, the city has some decisions to make. It has to come up with some creative ways to tie the coal dock to downtown. To do that, Larson said, the city could create a team of people from government and the community to come up with creative options. The city should also consider updating its development plan for the coal dock, he said, perhaps looking at the potential of a shipwreck museum as considered by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which is contemplating the creation of a maritime sanctuary off Port's shore. "I think the NOAA concept would be great," Larson said. "But we need to consider other ideas in case it doesn't happen. "This (the coal dock) is a big deal. We want that to succeed. Some people are upset it's taken so long, but I'd rather we take the time and do it right." Schwister said additional environmental impact and seismic studies should be done before anything's developed on the coal dock. "I would like to see something built on the coal dock, but I don't think it's time yet," he said. "We don't want to build something and have it crumble under our feet. We don't know if it (the coal dock) is stable. It bothers me. We should get the information." In terms of the lakefront, he said the city has a gem in the north beach but should work to improve access to the south beach and clean it. "It's a very nice place to go, but it's very inaccessible," Schwister said. "I'd like to see if we could do something more with the south beach." He said the city should petition lawmakers to fix the breakwater, even if it means heading to Washington, D.C., to speak to them directly. If that doesn't work, the city should repair the structure, Schwister said. "It's our responsibility to take care of our city," he said. "If it's a danger, which it is, we should be proactive." Until it's fixed, the city should consider restricting access to it during storms, Schwister added. Both Larson and Schwister said that there's little for the city to do right now about the hundreds of acres on the city's south side annexed in 2000 by Brookfield developer Vincent Kuttemperoor, whose ambitious plans for a high-end, multi-use development are unlikely to be realized now that he has lost control of the land. "I say we should let it sit and wait (for developers to approach the city)," Larson said. "To spend too much time on that right now might be a waste of energy. If we paintourselves in a corner without hearing their ideas, we may miss out on something." Schwister, who ran unsuccessfully for state Assembly last year, said he is seeking a seat on the Common Council to help make a difference in his district and the community. "I will be open, honest, forthcoming and always available," he said. Larson noted that he and his family are involved in the community and in the downtown, where he and his wife work. "We have a personal interest in the development and growth of the city," he said. "You're going to get the best I have. The decisions I make affect every aspect of my life."
Voters in Port Washington's 2nd District will have their choice of two incumbents on the April 3 ballot — Paul Neumyer and Burt Babcock. Neumyer, of 643 N. Milwaukee St., has represented the city's 2nd District since 2007, while Babcock, 221 W. Main St., has represented the 4th District since 1998. They are vying against each other for a seat on the Common Council because a fluke in redistricting placed them in the same district. "It's unfortunate we both got stuck running in the same district," said Neumyer, 57. "Burt's a nice man. His heart is in the right place. But I feel I know the residents of the 2nd District." Babcock, called the situation "unusual," but said competition is good for the city. "In a democracy, you should have more than one person running so people have a choice," he said. "I feel I've done a good job for the 4th District." He said he would like to work to do an equally good job for the 2nd District. Overall, Babcock said, his first priority for the city is development of the coal dock infrastructure. Full development will take time because of the high cost, and it will likely require public-private cooperation, Babcock said, adding a partnership with We Energies could create a demonstration project on energy conservation. He said he would also like to see a community center that incorporates a hall or private shops if it can be done legally. No matter how it's done, it's important that the coal dock be developed in a way that doesn't require a significant amount of maintenance by the Parks and Recreation Department staff, which is already burdened, Babcock said. The city should take a look at its parks and determine if they are all needed, added Babcock, a member of the Parks and Recreation Board. If they aren't, he said, the city should consider selling a few and using the profits to maintain the others. This will also help keep the city's taxes down, increase the tax base and avoid layoffs and cuts in services, he said. "Thirty-six parks is probably more than we really need," Babcock said. Neumyer said he understands people are frustrated because the coal dock hasn't been opened yet, but said the city has a good, workable plan for the area that will be implemented. "It's a good plan, and we have to build on it," he said. "We may have to tweak it." The city's been fortunate to receive a number of large grants to help pay for the infrastructure, Neumyer said, but because of the cost of the full development it may take some time. One priority should be the construction of restrooms, which would also serve the south beach, Neumyer said. "That's something we're going to have to look at. It will make it a lot more user-friendly," he said. The south beach is a gem, Neumyer said, and a tremendous asset along the lakefront. But the city needs to improve the entrance to the north beach, where the bluff regularly slumps and sends mounds of earth over the pathway leading to the sand. "We don't know how to address it right now, but we need to look at it," he said. Babcock said he would like to see the city be more active on the lakeshore, pushing for cruise ships to visit and for the community to stress efforts to preserve Lake Michigan. Neumyer said his top priority is to maintain the current level of services and infrastructure in the city even as the budget gets tighter. "We're going to have to get creative," he said. "We're not catching up with our road repairs, and we have a lot of roads in need of some major repairs." The city has to look at its industrial base and work to attract new industry, Neumyer said, while balancing that with commercial and residential development. Babcock agreed that the city needs to continue to market itself to industry. "We are a very nice place to live, have a talented workforce and we've lost a myriad of jobs," he said. "With a concerted effort, hopefully we could change that." Babcock said he would like to see the city consider a tax incremental financing district for the hundreds of acres that make up the former VK Homes land on the city's south side. The city could set the tone for that area when it sells 40 acres of land it owns north of that property, Babcock said. Neumyer said the city needs to plan for the area before developers buy the land. "Do we want that in residential use? Do we want it in light industrial use, especially those areas near the industrial park?" he asked. "It may be time to revisit the plan. Developers can tell us what they want to do, but it has to be what the city wants. We need to decide where we're going there. "Whatever we do, it has to be integrated with the city. It's not going to be a stand-alone community. It's part of the City of Port Washington." Both men said the city has done a good job creating a positive environment for business to flourish in downtown. "It's been a long, hard struggle but we're seeing the light at the end of the tunnel," Neumyer said. "Duluth Trading Co. is going to be a big shot in the arm for downtown. I'm hoping the restaurants and other businesses all benefit from that." Babcock said the downtown will also benefit from the renovation of the former M&I Bank project, something he worked hard to ensure would happen. "To me, it makes no sense to tear the building down if it can be fixed and made useful again," he said.
A proposal by Habitat for Humanity Lakeside to build three single-family homes on a triangular shaped property between Park Street and Moore Road in Port Washington was approved by the city's Design Review Board Monday. A 12-foot-wide cul-de-sac would connect the property, which is largely hidden, to Park Street, said John Orth, Habitat's construction manager. "This would be a three-year project," Orth told the board. "We only have enough to start one house this year, but we think we can raise enough funds to do one house a year "As soon as we get the OK, we will start building the road and grading the property. The earliest we would start construction would probably be June." Several trees will have to be removed to make room for the houses, which would be about 1,300 square feet, he said. The houses would each have three or four bedrooms and 1-1/2 bathrooms, and an attached one-car garage. The bluff will be maintained, Orth said, noting that it is a steep incline. In the long term, he said, Habitat may consider building a ranch-style house on a flat portion of the property, depending on what happens with a gas main that runs on an easement across the property. Members of the Design Review Board were pleased with the plan. "I think it's a really nice looking design," said Chairman Rob Vanden Noven. However, he asked why the design for each of the houses is the same. Habitat will save money by using the same design for each of the homes, Orth said, and can better reproduce the design each time it builds the house. Minor detailing on the houses will vary to give each structure its own identity, he added. Plans for the development will now be reviewed by the city's Plan Commission on Tuesday, March 27. Habitat has an accepted offer to purchase the almost one-acre parcel for $44,000 from the Schanen Estate, Orth said. The land is along the bluff behind the Habitat's first house in Port Washington. That home was built in 2002 for Jeff and Kandy Bichler. Habitat expects to choose the family for its first house on this parcel by May or June, Orth said. The families must have children and be in unaffordable or unsafe housing, have good credit and be able to repay a mortgage to Habitat, he said. The organization has built houses for seven families, all in Port Washington, and no one has defaulted on their mortgages, Orth said. Monthly payments, including taxes, average $500, Orth said. "That's why we want three houses. The value of the land can be split between three homeowners so the taxes are affordable," he said. Lakeside Development of Mequon is designing the project. The Port project is possible because Habitat sold a 3,600-square-foot house in Erin for $375,000, realizing a $60,000 profit. The house had been donated to Habitat. Habitat was offered a second house donation, an older house in Mequon that was being renovated and enlarged when the two sisters who owned it died. The 4,000-square-foot unfinished house could not be moved. The new owner decided to tear it down and build a smaller one. He told Orth that Habitat could take whatever it wanted before the wrecking ball struck it. "We removed all the interior walls, trim, duct work, furnaces, air conditioners and light fixtures that we will use in the Habitat houses," Orth said. "We have enough 2-by-4s to build one house and recessed light fixtures for one house, so the first house won't cost as much." Salvaged items sold on Craig's List raised $12,000 for Habitat, Orth said. Habitat expected its next project would be in Grafton, where it owns land, but Orth said village officials raised concerns each time they proposed building three single-family or duplex condos on the property. If Habitat were able to purchase land in another community in the coming years, there is a possibility the Port project could take more than three years to complete, Habitat president Alan Schupp said Monday.

Russian anarchist Mikhail Bakunin on the Paris Commune, government and the state: "This work, like all my published work, of which there has not been a great deal, is an outgrowth of events. It is the natural continuation of my Letters to a Frenchman (September 1870), wherein I had the easy but painful distinction of foreseeing and foretelling the dire calamities which now beset France and the whole civilized world, the only cure for which is the Social Revolution.
"My purpose now is to prove the need for such a revolution. I shall review the historical development of society and what is now taking place in Europe, right before our eyes. Thus all those who sincerely thirst for truth can accept it and proclaim openly and unequivocally the philosophical principles and practical aims which are at the very core of what we call the Social Revolution.
"I know my self-imposed task is not a simple one. I might be called presumptuous had I any personal motives in undertaking it. Let me assure my reader, I have none. I am not a scholar or a philosopher, not even a professional writer. I have not done much writing in my life and have never written except, so to speak, in self-defense, and only when a passionate conviction forced me to overcome my instinctive dislike for any public exhibition of myself…"

Hi, I have been using Subscribe2 for a few months on this blog -- http://blog.hubbardswim.com
We have emails set to send "from Swim School Bob," and they have always sent "from firstname.lastname@example.com" but for some reason our last email sent from this email -- firstname.lastname@example.com
So it shows that the subscriber has a new email from hubbard3, but we want that to read "Swim School Bob."
Looks in our settings like things are still set up properly, and I don't think we made any changes between those last two emails that would cause this.. Would appreciate some help on how we can fix this!

It's been 10 days since the launch of the collection 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target, and all I can say is... Yes, I got the Mini Satchel!! It was that impossible item to get. We all knew it would take only hours to vanish from the stores. So I decided to fight for it. But not literally, I mean. I just stayed up till 04:32 am exactly, to buy this Hot Deal.
Now, you want to know how it feels carrying it around the block?, how I wear it?, or just if it was worth it? Well, I confess I don't wear it yet. Yeah... Maybe you are shocked, but the truth is that I've been wearing the medium satchel the past few days. Yes, I got another bag! I must accept my sins. I was going to buy only one, but for that price it was hard to buy just one. I know you understand me. Right?
I promise an outfit post next week with the emblematic mini satchel of Phillip Lim for Target. So stay tuned my dear partners in crime. XOXO!

Dude, Where's My Country?
Allen Lane, 2003 - American wit and humor - 249 pages
"Michael Moore is on a mission in his new book: Regime Change. The man who slithered into the White House on tracks greased by his daddy's oil buddies is one of many targets in Mike's blistering follow-up to his smash #1 hit Stupid White Men, the biggest-selling nonfiction book of the year. Now no one is safe: corporate barons who have bilked millions out of their employees' lifetime savings, legislators who have stripped away our civil liberties in the name of "homeland security," and even that right-wing brother-in-law of yours (yes, we all have one) who manages, year after year, through his babbling idiocy, to ruin Thanksgiving dinner"--Inside dust jacket.
What people are saying - Write a review
His style and approach are second to only a few. The content is typical and not necessarily incredibly original, but a lot of what he says needs to be said. It was going pretty good until the chapter "Oil's Well That Ends Well"; this chapter was stupid and it asserts just lofty ideas (ideas no one in the left has really been able to achieve). Moore does acknowledge how much Democrats suck, but his solution for solving our nation's problems is to vote Democrat. Personally, if someone really sucks, I try to avoid voting for her or him. But Michael Moore actually encourages people to vote for rotten candidates and a rotten party. Go figure. In some ways, he reminds me of Ann Coulter. Moore claims that most of the population supports liberal ideas while Coulter claims most of the population is conservative. In both cases, I believe cognitive dissonance led each to these conclusions. The idea popularity = right is a firmly embedded aspect of our democratic system. Both Moore and Coulter believe their ideas are right, thus instead of saying "popularity does not equal right" yet my ideas are still right, they have to claim the masses support their ideas. It is impossible for the majority to be both liberal and conservative, so at least one of them is wrong, maybe both of them. Moore is thinking right when he recommends that Oprah run for President. I do believe it would be good if some progressive wealthy famous person with a strong personality ran for president. She isn't the best pick, but Moore is thinking on the right track. Toward the end, Moore demonstrates his fair mindedness by showing how he thinks the left has erred over the years. Ironically, Moore in some cases criticizes the good of the left. One prime example is animal rights. Animal rights is a great cause and a great model for the left. It demands sacrifice, something all good activism does. He also disses the Free Mumia movement, which is a sure way to turn me off. Perhaps, Moore like too many liberals views the cops as redeemable. Other times, he has endorsed policies which help out cops (gun control for example), thus in turn, he has perhaps convinced me that gun control maybe is not such a great idea after all. Before the series of pages where he criticizes the left, he remarks, "I sat here for two full days staring at the computer before I could bring myself to continue" since he implied that the left is mostly correct. A person shouldn't have to think for 2 days to find errors of the left, errors of the left should come to one's mind instantly.
Review: Dude, Where's My Country?User Review - -uht! - Goodreads
I like Michael Moore's writing more than his documentaries. He's got a relaxed, fun style with a surprising amount of depth beneath it. The book is a bit reactionary in parts (moreso than Stupid White Men), but it was an enjoyable read and well documented and researched. Read full review

Released: May 17th, 2011
Running Time: 226 Min.
Director: Uncredited
Company: Bang Productions
DVD Extras: Still Gallery(ies), Trailer(s)
Cast: Candi Cox, Victoria (Bang Bros.), Candy (Bang Bros.), Jamie Valentine, Elektra Foxx, Others
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: POV
A facial experience for Jamie Valentine! Elektra Fox is lost for words! Candi Cox: stripper turns to porn! Victoria: a work of art!
Welcome to more antics from the Bang Bros. interview room in Miami—a place where employees walk around nonchalantly as the lucky guy interviews young girls a la POV and gets blown and screwed. He enjoys being teased, but pink-haired Victoria proffers the info that she isn't much of a tease. Still, he tolerates this real cutie and her leisurely journey into his pants.
Victoria, like the other four girls in this lengthy release, does all of the work—from long, lingering oral to simply positioning herself on his cock and doing all of the up and down movement as he simply sits back and enjoys ... until the final facial finish as decreed by the series' title. He also seems to enjoy pulling their chains, like when informing very busty stripper Candi Cox that he thinks her name is terrible. Fortunately, she doesn't exact retribution when his cock is buried deep down her throat.
