Thanks for the helpJuly 31,2014
Thanks for the help
The town of Plainfield is pleased to report that the $75,000 fund drive to help pay for the restoration and re-opening of Plainfields historic Town Hall Opera House has been completed. As a result of this effort, the building is now open and additional work needed to complete improvements to the building is now underway.
There are many people to thank for this successful campaign, which was launched eighteen months ago by members of the Town Hall Opera House Revitalization Committee, under the direction of Andy Robinson. Donations were received from more than 220 households and a dozen local businesses. In addition, the Preservation Trust of Vermont, the Vermont Community Foundation, the estate of the late John Wires, the Niebling Family Fund, Washington Electric Cooperative Inc., the Plainfield Historical Society, Efficiency Vermont, and the National Life Group Foundation all made generous contributions.
As a thank you to the donors and the volunteers who made this fund drive a success, the Town is hosting an Open House at the Opera House on Sunday, Aug. 3 from 3 to 7 p.m. Friends and supporters of the Plainfield Town Hall Opera House are welcome to attend. Donors and volunteers are invited to join in a group photo in front of the building at 3:45 p.m.
In addition to enjoying food and refreshments, guests can meet the new event managers for the space (who will host a brief information meeting), hear about and inspect the work that has been done so far, and learn about the work that lies ahead. The celebration will conclude with a performance by Mostly Hank, a local country music band.
A special thanks to The Times Argus for the news stories it has carried about Plainfields efforts to restore the Town Hall and to improve pedestrian safety on US Route 2.

Stage lighting and effects units don't hold themselves up in the air - at least not yet. Until the day the anti-gravity PAR can is invented, we'll be relying on lighting stands and truss systems to position our lights where we want them. Fortunately, the stands and trusses found in this section offer a ton of versatility, so no matter where exactly you'd like your lights to go, there ought to be a way to get them there. That goes for travelling layouts that need to set up and tear-down each and every night, as well as venue lighting arrangements that you'll be leaving up over the long term. Either way, there are lighting stands and trusses ready to accommodate them.
If you're a freelance DJ - or any kind of lighting tech who has to move your effects from place to place on a daily basis - the best option for your needs may be a set of collapsible lighting stands. Check out the Odyssey LT-P2 Tripod Lighting Stand Pair or the Ultimate Support LT-99BL Lighting Tree Package for a couple of top-selling examples. Want to combine some of the versatility and space of a rack with the quick and easy setup of tripod stands? In that case, look for something like the American DJ LTS50T Port Lighting truss System or the On-Stage Stands LS7730 Lighting Stand with Truss.
On the other hand, if you're building a semi-permanent lighting layout, or if you have a ton of lights to mount and need the strongest support you can get, then you'll probably find a heavy-duty truss to be right up your alley. These can be as basic or as highly-customized as you like: go for a ready-made setup like the TRUSST Goal Post Truss Kit if you want an out-of-the-box solution, or choose each component individually to design your frame from the ground up with pieces such as the GLOBAL TRUSS Base Plate and 3.5 Meter Square Truss. To complete your truss system, just pick out the safety cables, clamps, connectors and truss covers you need and you'll be ready to go.
Setting up a lighting system doesn't have to be difficult or labor-intensive. In fact, with many of the lighting stands and truss components in this section, it's downright easy. Choose your mounting hardware based on the size and complexity of your lighting setup, as well as how often it will need to be packed up and moved. Finding the right balance of space and portability is going to depend on your individual needs, but the good news is that with the variety of hardware here, you've got access to everything you need.
Our product catalog varies by country due to manufacturer restrictions. If you change the Ship-To country, some or all of the items in your cart may not ship to the new destination.

Music Bufu Banton: My Two Cents
This Bufu guy was coming to town, and some people were upset. We blogged about thatand so did Seattlest and Metroblogging Seattle and Seattle LiveJournal. (And they all blogged about it before we didmuch to my annoyance.) The club reacted to the uproar. It was an uproar that we didn't create, just reported on and commented on. And the club decided to pull the plug on the show.
If we had ignored Bufu and the uproar, we would no doubt have been accused of covering up the controversy to protect an advertiser. But we blogged about, and so we stand accused of creating the controversy.
And so… where are we now?
Well, this Bufu person has a right to perform his stuffabsolutely. Still does, anywhere he can attract a paying crowd and a willing club. People have a right to dislike his stuffabsolutely. And people have a right to complain about this guy and express their displeasure. And we have a right to comment and reportand we also have a right to our own freely expressed opinions. And the club has a right to make its own decisionsincluding the decision to cancel or go ahead with Bufu's show. No one's rights were violated in all of this.
Finally, it's such a nice day. Let's all push back from our computers and get the fuck out of the house or the office. I'm going to an M's game tonightwhat are you doing?

Posted on 03/03/2006 2:46:00 PM PST by July 4th
NEW YORK (AP) -- Research In Motion Ltd., the maker of the BlackBerry e-mail device, Friday announced it has settled its long-running patent dispute with a small Virginia-based firm, averting a possible court-ordered shutdown of the BlackBerry system. RIM has paid NTP $612.5 million in a "full and final settlement of all claims," the companies said.
The settlement ends a period of anxiety for BlackBerry users. At a hearing last week, NTP had asked a federal court in Richmond, Va., for an injunction blocking the continued use of key technologies underpinning BlackBerry's wireless e-mail service.
RIM, which is based in Waterloo, Ontario, had put away $450 million in escrow for a settlement. It will record the additional $162.5 million in its fourth-quarter results, it said.
many hand othopedic doctors are also cheering !!!
WOW, extortion does pay after all! NTP was on life support after their claims were unraveling.
To answer my own statement, apparently not long at all.
There's still something pretty fundamental that I guess I just don't understand about this. NTP's patent applications were not passing muster with the patent office... so what grounds did they have? There must be something solid, if it's worth RIM paying 600M to settle it.
Anyone? What am I missing?
Anyone know if RIM has patents that would discourage others from competing? I doubt that the NTP "patents" would stand in the way.
Well, we'll see what happens. As I stated earlier, I fully expect that within a few days we'll see either a settlement or a U.S. Blackberry shutdown, government clients excepted.
RIM could've avoided all of it if not for their early arrogance and the subsequent choices of its CEO. It'll be interesting to see what happens at the end of the day regarding the PTO's curiously expedient backtracking, as well.
It's a big relief though. I have almost 200 BB users at my outfit that would all be clamouring for an overnight solution... and unfortunately nobody does it quite as good as RIM.
Timing. As I understand it the judge approved the extortion before the patents ran out. Decision too fast or RIM too slow. RIM must have had some good reason for giving up.
And, NTP, Inc. makes or sells no actual products.
I say that if you hold a patent, but never use it to produce something productive, then that patent should be held invalid.
"produce something productive" s/b "produce something useful" :-)
Should have said "before the patents were thrown out." Sorry.
You mean having to go to court to get paid for your ideas is extortion?
I certainly hope not. NTP is nothing but a bottom-feeder who's only "business" is filing patent suits hoping to strike a big one. They create nothing. They go around buying up other patent applications, hoping to find one that is close enough to an idea that's already paid off... and they play courtroom crapshoot.
>You mean having to go to court to get paid for your ideas is extortion?
Where in the Constitution does it say Congress can pass laws to portect "ideas"?
No... going to court to get a payoff from somebody else's ideas, holding hostage millions of customers... that's extortion.
There was a risk, though I gather not a big one, that one or more of the patents that hadn't been rejected yet would have been upheld. I don't know a whole lot about patent law, but there may also be an issue because the patents were in force during several years that RIM was using the relevant technology, and perhaps the rescinding of the patents wouldn't clearly release RIM from an obligation to pay for the use during the period they were in force. Probably the biggest issue is that the prospect of never-ending litigation and uncertainty -- NTP was certainly going to appeal the rescinding of its patents -- was putting such a big financial drag on RIM, and had recently started causing customers to sign on with competitors, after which inertia and upfront costs of switching would undoubtedly cause a lot of them to stay there. It probably ending up looking like it would be cheaper in the long run to pay now, even if they had eventually won.
I do think the whole affair highlights an urgent need to update both patent law and the process of patent examination.
I don't have a problem with the concept of patent protection. It's a valuable protection and it rewards innovation.
But merely buying up thousands of applications on the cheap, hoping to find one that can be wedged somehow into convincing a neophyte court... just filing lawsuits as a business model... this isn't what patent protection is for, IMHO.
I guess extortion is a pretty good business model. I haven't seen but a handful of patents that deserved the name "patent" in years. Everyone that changes the color of a box thinks they've just invented something, and unfortunatly the USPTO agrees with that nonsense.
Some patents are obtained in order to close out competition. Not using a patent doesn't necessarily mean that there isn't something on the market that will do the job. If someone has a patent that they don't intend to use, make no similar products, and aren't attempting to license it to others then the damages for infringement should be "reasonable." I'm curious how NTP conjured up the amount of damages in this case.
Who said anything about MicroSoft? Stay on topic!
The light goes on... that makes sense.
What RIM needed most right now was some certainty. They were starting to suffer in the marketplace merely because of the uncertainty about their service continuity.
Even if all of NTP's applications are ultimately thrown out (which appears to be on the way) RIM was better off to just settle *now*, to stop the hemorraging.
They could conceivably go back to court later with an action against NTP if the bottom falls out from under their patent apps. I wonder if that's possible. In a just world NTP should pay a price if their harrassment was all just a nuisance suit from the beginning.
Sounds like RAMBUS and the DDR lawsuits of a few years ago.
Well, I'm not so much of a MS hater, at least not today. :-)
Madison and Jefferson noted the distinction between "discovery" and "ideas." You note that all the early patents were actual discoveries that were demostrated by its inventer before a patent was issued. It is not fair that someone to patent the idea of going to the moon and then suing NASA for actually spending the money to figure out how and actually doing it.
RIM . . . will record the additional $162.5 million in its fourth-quarter results, it said.
I hope they get that minor juxtoposition of digits resolved before anyone signs anything.
Patent law requires that a patent 'teach' anyone 'skilled in the art' how to do it.
%@&#* math majors.
Engineer, actually...
>Patent law requires that a patent 'teach' anyone 'skilled in the art' how to do it.
Is that actually something Congress pulled from thin air or a Supreme Court imposed rule?
Not necessarily, RIM may just consider it a cost of doing business to get these folks off their backs forever.
Always fun to try to politely tell a judge that everyone in the courtroom but him sees how to do it.
From what I've read, the ideas were NOT NTP's. They'd bought the patent applications from someone else and filed them on their own behalf. It was looking like the applications were going to be denied, anyway.
MicroSoft/Bill Gates bought MSDOS, did this mean he couldn't defent his ownership of the operating system?
...DEFEND his ownership...
Gotta go, kids are waiting.
Please keep the thread warm for me...
BBC NEWS version ...
Settlement ends Blackberry case
The maker of the Blackberry device has reached a $612.5m (£349m) settlement to end a legal dispute that could have closed the service in the US.
Canadian company Research In Motion (RIM) said on Friday that the deal with American software firm NTP represented a "full and final settlement".
NTP, which had claimed RIM stole its technology, had tried to get the Blackberry service shut in the US.
The popular portable e-mail device has three million American users.
'Unfettered right'
"All terms of the agreement have been finalised and the litigation against RIM has been dismissed by a court order this afternoon," said RIM.
"The agreement eliminates the need for any further court proceedings or decisions relating to damages or injunctive relief.
"NTP grants RIM an unfettered right to continue its business, including its Blackberry-related business."
The settlement brings to end four years of legal dispute in the US between the two companies.
RIM said it had already put aside $450m for a possible settlement with NTP, and that the additional $162.5m would be recorded in its next quarterly report due in April.
The overall $612.5m settlement compares to the firm's total cash reserves of $1.8bn.
Global popularity
Last year the firms agreed a tentative settlement, but the agreement subsequently collapsed, taking the case all the way to the US Supreme Court.
Earlier this month, the US government asked a federal judge to hold off from a possible shutdown of the Blackberry service, because of the system's popularity among key government employees.
RIM had argued that a shutdown of Blackberry services would impair critical public services.
The Blackberry now has 4.3 million global users.
Story from BBC NEWS:
Published: 2006/03/03 22:53:15 GMT
I have no idea, but my son is going to be an IP lawyer, so I can ask him. ;o)
Yep... I think so. A way to get it behind them and stop scaring away new customers.
If you're right, RIM just paid over a half a billion dollars they didn't need to.
Of course he can. He bought it and used it and made a bazillion dollars.
This is unlike the case in point, where NTP did ~not~ create or invent or do anything at all, or from the look of it, even buy out someone else's idea that was worth anything. Well... worth 600M this time around.
There is that.
Great! I will now be able to CONTINUE to work 24/7/365...
Sorry, but that's simply not accurate. NTP was founded by Thomas Campana, Jr., an electrical engineer who invented the technology of push email delivery. Push, BTW, is the exact technology that made the Blackberry so successful, because it eliminated the steps of connecting to a server, logging on to that server, and retrieving any waiting email. With push, the handheld device only has to wait for the server to send the email.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a company that licenses intellectual property that it owns. Nothing. Campana didn't have the money to take his invention to market, so he elected to go the licensing route instead. IP is just as real a product as anything else. There's also nothing whatever wrong with going after someone who comes along and steals your property, then thumbs their nose at you when you ask them to either stop using it or pay up.
That's exactly what happened in this case. And BTW, both Nokia and Good Technology have properly licensed NTP technology.

Konica Provides PPD Workaround Konica has provided MacFixIt a workaround for issues caused by the PPD file included with several of its printer models. A member of the company's technical staff told us:
"The information posted on MacFixIt indicates a problem with the Konica IP511 controller with v.1.1.1 firmware. I referred that matter to our software support group, and they had this work-around which enables Konica products to work properly under 10.2.2. Note that this issue affects more than Konica and is apparently due to changes made by Apple. The workaround is as follows:
"In Konica's case, if you are using a Konica PPD and select a Konica printer to print from an application, the application will crash. This problem has also been verified with some HP and Xerox printers as well. The following workaround that will take care of this issue, until Apple comes out with a patch, as this was not a problem with version 10.2.1.
"The Konica PPD file has an entry called 'DefaultInputSlot'. (See Reference Below) There is a % sign to the left of the entry that is a comment marker. If you delete the % sign to the left of the entry and also on the line below it next to the "InputSlot" entry, the ppd will function correctly. If doing this on the Macintosh, just double click on the ppd file. It will automatically open in TextEdit. Do a find for the "DefaultInputslot" entry, delete the two %-sign entries, and save the file.
*% === Tray Selection ============
*OpenUI *InputSlot: PickOne
*OrderDependency: 50 AnySetup *InputSlot
*%DefaultInputSlot: AutoSelect
*%InputSlot AutoSelect/AutoSelect: "<</MediaPosition null /TraySwitch

Tray3/Tray 3: "<</MediaPosition 2 /TraySwitch false>> setpagedevice"
*InputSlot Tray4/Tray 4: "<</MediaPosition 3 /TraySwitch false>>
*CloseUI: *InputSlot
Users have submitted other workarounds for the PPD issue, including Graeme McKinstry who had success with an alternative PPD file on his Xerox Docucolor printer:
"I downloaded a Fiery PPD (same printer different RIP) and copied the paper size specifications into the CSX2000.ppd file and it then worked okay. I use this new PPD when selecting paper size under Page setup and use the original PPD when Printing (in Freehand 10)."
UPDATE: Another three-step workaround has been successful for a number of printer models with PPD failure problems:
- Delete the "com.apple.print.custompresets.plist" located in ~/Library/Preferences
- Put your printer's PPD in root/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj (or whichever language your system uses). Note that the permissions on this folder must be modified in order to move the PPD to this location.
- Set-up the printer using Print Center, and select the newly placed PPD.
Symantec Speaks on Norton Utilities Problem Symantec has begun offering a response to users regarding the compatibility of Norton Utilities and Norton AntiVirus, which both fail to recognize any mounted volumes under Mac OS X 10.2.2:
"We are aware of issues with drives not appearing in Norton Utilities after updating to Mac OS X 10.2.2. Symantec is currently investigating this issue and hopefully a resolution will be available soon. I apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience in this matter."
NVRAM Printer Workaround Resetting the NVRAM may resolve issues for some printer models that have problems after applying the Mac OS X 10.2.2 update. Phil Geller reports success with resetting the NVRAM on his Lexmark Optra E312:
"Lexmark tech support recommended resetting the NVRAM to the factory defaults. It fixed the problem. They said it might be necessary to do this every time the printer is switched from Mac OS 9 to Mac OS X. I didn't test that to determine if it was true, but after doing the NVRAM reset the printer prints from both the Mac OS X Print Center and from Classic."
Procedure for resetting the Optra E312's NVRAM (from the printer's manual) is as follows. Other printers use a similar process, refer to you model's manual for specific instructions.
- Turn the printer power off.
- Open the top cover
- Turn the printer power on
- When the Error LED comes on solid, double-click the operator panel button
- Once the Error and Press Putton LEDs start blinking, close the top cover
- The Ready LED comes on solid and the Error and Press Button LEDs continue blinking.
- Double-click the operator button one time. The Data LED comes on solid while the Error and Press Burron LEDs continue blinking.
- Perform a long button press until all LEDs come on solid.
- The printer is now reset ot factory default settings.
USB Devices and Processor Use We continue to receive a bevy of reports indicating that for some systems recently upgraded to Mac OS X 10.2.2, the presence of USB devices causes the process "kernel_task" to drain processor cycles. It also appears that actually activating input USB devices worsens the slow-down.
We have seen similar issues under Mac OS X 10.2.2 using FireWire devices as well. On both our in-house Power Macintosh G4/733 and PowerBook Pismo G3/400, an external Oxford 911-powered WiebeTech hard drive routinely causes the system to slow to a crawl when connected, with the problem immediately disappearing after the device is disconnected. Occasionally, the problem persists after a restart, and prevents the system from moving past the initial Mac OS X 10.2.x splash screen until the FireWire device is detached.
Thomas Keller writes:
"The problem is directly dependant on the number of USB devices connected to the Mac. The more devices I connect, the more severely up goes the processor usage of 'kernel_task' in process manager. (starting about 10 minutes after startup). With 8 devices (including external hubs), the increase of processor usage is not yet immediately noticable, although after some time it gradually rises. With 9 devices, I am able to stop 'top' from updating the display in 'Terminal' by moving the mouse. With more than 9, I even can stop the clock in the menubar from updating, because the system is so slow when I move the mouse.
Erratic Mouse Movement We continue to receive corroborating reports of erratic mouse movement after upgrading to Mac OS X 10.2.2, especially with input devices from Logitech and Microsoft. Chris Ogle writes:
"My new MX900 optical cordless mouse has been erratic under os 10.2.2 and 10.2.1 before it. The mouse will work fine and then after a period of between 1 and 4 hours all the buttons will stop working. Tracking to continues to work fine but all button control goes. Full functionality is restored by a systm reboot. I spoke with Logitech tech support and was informed that this was a known issue for which they currently have no solution but that they are working on it. In the interim it makes the mouse otherwise a promising product completely useless."
Unconfirmed issues There are still some seemingly isolated incidents occurring after Mac OS X 10.2.2 installation for which we are seeking confirmation:
- A number of readers are reporting that Palm HotSync application included with Palm Desktop 4.0 crashes while attempting to synchronize data since the update
- Stan Goldberg reports that his Dymo Turbo Labelwriter which worked under Mac OS X 10.2.1, is no longer recognized in the Print center under the 10.2.2 upgrade.

Madoff Judge to Be Named to U.S. Appeals Court
A federal judge perhaps best known for sentencing convicted Ponzi-scheme operator Bernard Madoff to 150 years in prison earlier this year will be nominated to the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals.
The White House intends to nominate U.S. District Judge Denny Chin to the appeals court, the office of U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer (D., N.Y.) confirmed Wednesday.
"We told the White House that Judge Chin would be an outstanding choice," Sen. Schumer said in a statement. "Even in the most high-profile of cases he has been unflappable, erudite and steadily applied the law."
A clerk for Judge Chin said the judge had no comment on Wednesday.
The Second Circuit is among the most influential federal appellate courts in the country, in part because it has jurisdiction over disputes involving New York-based industries, including Wall Street. There are currently four open judgeships on the Second Circuit, including the one formerly held by new U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor. A fifth appellate judgeship is expected to open on the circuit this fall.
Judge Chin, 55 years old, was born in Hong Kong and graduated from Princeton University and Fordham University School of Law. A former federal prosecutor, he was nominated to the federal court by President Clinton in 1994.
In this fifteen-year tenure, the judge has presided over many high-profile trials. In 2007, he sentenced Texas oil trader Oscar Wyatt Jr., then 83 years old, to more than a year in prison for his role in payments to Iraq that violated the United Nations' oil-for-food program. The tough sentence he handed to Mr. Madoff won him widespread gratitude from Mr. Madoff's many victims.
The judge has also shown leniency at times, including his 2007 reversal of a jury verdict of fraud against former New York Stock Exchange supervisor David Finnerty. It is unusual for judges to reverse jury verdicts. Judge Chin currently is presiding over a controversial settlement between Google Inc. and authors and publishers in connection with the technology giant's efforts to gain copyright licenses over millions of digital books.

The 70-year-old co-owner of a Hutchinson cemetery is charged with stealing more than $800,000 from two trust funds set up for maintenance on burial plots.
Reno County District Attorney Keith Schroeder said Sharon
McDonough was arrested late Thursday and charged with 16 counts of
theft. Schroeder said McDonough, the co-owner of Fairlawn Burial
Park, posted a $50,000 bond Thursday night.
The trusts supported maintenance of 10,000 plots, both for
previous and future burials. An investigation was launched in 2005
after a routine state audit.
McDonough faces two counts of felony theft, misuse of a
maintenance fund, four counts of providing false information; four
perjury counts and five counts of refusal to comply with the
Cemetery Merchandise Act.

The Achievement Gap
Children from poor families enter school having been exposed, on average, to over 30 million fewer words than their more affluent peers.
A student who cannot read proficiently by 3rd grade is over 4 times more likely to drop out of school, which limits their own opportunities and continues the cycle of poverty in their communities
There is an almost 90% chance that a child who is a poor reader at the end of grade 1 will be a poor reader in grade 4.

Like many agencies that have been around decades longer, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau often attracts top talent by virtue of its mission. Yet as the "new kid on the block," it also has positioned itself as a 21st century agency. Many people -- particularly in IT -- are drawn to the CFPB because of its reputation as the start-up in government.
So as CIOs across the government are saying that agency culture is the biggest barrier to innovation, so how does an agency like CFPB foster culture that is all about innovation?
Ashwin Vasan, CFPB's CIO, told FCW creating that culture of innovation is about bringing people into the agencies who want to be an agent for change.
"Whether inside or outside of D.C., our focus has always been on finding people who know their area of expertise, have a passion for doing things differently and care about our mission," Vasan said. "The key is getting those people in the door. They might have 20 years of experience in the federal government, or be outsiders to the government, maybe a UX designer who has looked at government websites and is interested in improving those design elements for consumers."
Especially in an agency being built from the ground up, bringing in a diverse group is key. At CFPB, Vasan said, there are data scientists, government veterans, software developers, graphic designers and coders, each with different technical skills and backgrounds.
That's not to say CFPB doesn't face the same challenges as other agencies when trying to innovate, however.
Part of the challenge in the federal space is understanding the constraints and still being committed to doing things differently, Vasan said. CFPB, he admitted, is still working to assert itself as a viable agency.
"It's an extremely fast-moving environment—we're managing the expectations of meeting mission needs, and making sure we're building something that's sustainable in the long term," Vasan said. "Delivering quickly in the short term, but also building that foundation."
CFPB was created as a result of the 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and is tasked with protecting American consumers. Vasan was named CIO in October 2013, after having acted as a senior advisor to CFPB Director Richard Cordray since June 2011.
In a relatively short amount of time, CFPB has covered a lot of ground technologically: it launched a robust new website, recruited a talented workforce, built a presence on open source repository GitHub, opened up numerous APIs and datasets and developed user-friendly apps and tools for consumers.
When CFPB was tasked with authority of the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, or HMDA, the bureau took many steps to improve the data provided to help consumers. It created a mortgage market visualization/data tool on its site, and opened up its HMDA API on GitHub for anyone to access.
Consumer outreach around the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act includes a mortgage market data visualization tool. The agency has also opened up an API for HMDA data.
In addition to full-time staff, the agency has also made full use of its CFPB Technology Innovation Fellows. That program offers a two-year fellowship for software developers, graphic and user experience designers, data specialists and cybersecurity professionals.
The last class of fellows had a hand in creating AskCFPB, an interactive tool that gives users access to consumer and financial data, including more than 1,000 frequently-asked questions; eRegulations, a tool that simplifies and explains regulations; and consumer-friendly designs that have been deployed throughout the bureau.
Vasan recently announced that CFBP is recruiting for its second class of fellows.
And with a workforce that is largely in the field, enabling a mobile workforce is another priority for Vasan. Many of its more than 1,300 employees are not D.C.-based, and the CFPB examination team is entirely remote.
For that reason, Vasan and his team have been working on videoconferencing and other tools to promote collaboration amongst a largely independent working organization.
Despite not being able to always work physically together, Vasan is confident in his colleagues' ability to get the job done. After all, he said, the agency has hired people who are passionate about the mission.

An Introduction to Building Vocabulary
|These students are excited to learn new vocabulary words that propel their success in life.
Why is it important to have both a great vocabulary and a complete understanding of the definitions of words? "An extensive knowledge of the exact meanings of English words accompanies outstanding success in this country more often than any other single characteristic we have been able to isolate and measure." (1 ) Knowing and understanding vocabulary words helps in every job and in all parts of the world no matter what language you speak. Some professional vocabulary words are known as jargon. "Every profession has its jargon, a specialized language that allows for quick, efficient communication between members of the same profession while minimizing the potential for misunderstandings. Jargon is not unique to professions. Have you ever tried to understand two teenagers talking to each other? Adolescent slang serves some of the same purposes as a professional jargon including identifying "insiders" and excluding "outsiders."" (3 ) Building a vocabulary and understanding it is very important for adults and children.
Direct vocabulary instruction is fundamental to effective teaching. Our Knowledge about and understanding of any topic is rooted in our mastery of the terms relevant to that topic… There is a direct link between an understanding of academic vocabulary and an understanding of academic content. What is also clear is that there is a vast difference in the vocabularies of low-versus high-achieving students. Researchers have estimated a difference of between 4,500 and 5,400 words for low-versus high-achieving students.(4)
|A picture of Marzano, who developed a new approach to teaching vocabulary.
Marzano has developed a six-step approach to teaching new vocabulary to students:
(The first three steps introduce and develop initial understanding, while the last three steps shape and sharpen understanding.)
- Provide a description, explanation, or example of the new term.
- Ask students to restate the description, explanation, or example in their own words.
- Ask students to construct a picture, symbol, or graphic representing the term.
- Engage students periodically in activities that help them add to their knowledge of terms in their notebooks.
- Periodically ask students to discuss the terms with one another.
- Involve students periodically in games that allow them to play with terms. (Marazano & Pickering 2005, pp. 14-15)
Watch this short video on how Robert J. Marzano believes improving students' vocabulary helps improve their test scores.
Products & Overviews
Teachers need several different methods and strategies for students to learn vocabulary effectively. Marzano offers 6 different products on his website. These products are: Vocabulary Games for the Classroom, Building Academic Vocabulary: Teacher's Manual, Building Academic Vocabulary Student Notebook Revised Edition, Building Background Knowledge for Academic Achievement, Six-Step Process for Teaching Vocabulary DVD, and lastly, Teaching Basic and Advanced Vocabulary: A Framework for Direct Instruction. (2 )
Continue reading for an overview of each product offered by Marzano.
Vocabulary Games for the Classroom
|An image of the book written by Lindsay Carleton & Robert J. Marzano.
The focus of this book is the sixth step of the six step program designed by Marzano for teaching new terms - playing with new terms through games. Vocabulary games should not be played just for fun. Rather covabulary games should be seen as one part of a systematic approach to direct vocabulary instruction.(4) Each game in the book is described briefly but in enough depth to provide adequate guidance for classroom use.
This book contains thirteen games that can be played in the classroom:
- Word Harvest
- Name It!
- Puzzle Stories
- Two of a Kind
- Opposites Attract
- Magic Letter, Magic Word
- Definition Shmefinition
- Which One Doesn't Belong?
- Who am I?
- Where am I?
- Create a Category
- What is the Question?
- Classroom Feud
Building Academic Vocabulary: Teacher's Manual
|An image of the book written by Robert J. Marzano & Debra J. Pickering.
This manual describes the specifics of such an approach and contains a list of 7,923 terms across 11 subject areas. Following the suggestions in this manual, an individual teacher, a school, or an entire district can design and implement a comprehensive program to teach and reinforce academic terms and, consequently, greatly enhance students' chances of learning the academic content presented in subject matter classes.
In the book there are 7,923 vocabulary terms listed for 11 subject areas:
- Mathematics
- Science
- English language arts
- History
- Geography
- Civics
- Economics
- Health
- Physical education
- The Arts
- Technology
Building Academic Vocabulary Student Notebook Revised Edition
|An image of the book written by Robert J. Marzano & Debra J. Pickering.
This is the student notebook that is used for learning vocabulary in Marzano's steps to introduce and develop initial understanding. This fits into step two of the learning process. Students are taught to write into the notebook , in their own terms, the meanings of the vocabulary words and for step three they are to put the definition in non-linguistic terms. (8)
Building Background Knowledge for Academic Achievement
|An image of the book written by Robert J. Marzano.
The most straightforward way to enhance students' academic background knowledge is to provide academically enriching experiences, particularly for students whose home environments do not do so naturally. I refer to such efforts as "direct approaches" to enhancing academic background knowledge.(9)
By definition, a direct approach to enhancing academic background knowledge is one that increases the variety and depth of out-of-class experiences. Such experiences include field trips to museums, art galleries, and the like, as well as school-sponsored travel and exchange programs. Admittedly, these experiences are powerful, but schools are limited in how many they can provide.(9)
But in this time of cutbacks in school resources, the direct approach is unlikely to prevail. So what options do schools have?
This book provides the rationale for and research behind a systematic, indirect approach to enhancing students' academic background knowledge. I firmly believe that if schools were to implement the suggestions offered in this book, they would make great strides toward ensuring that all students, regardless of background, would develop the background knowledge essential for academic success. I strongly fear that if schools do not implement indirect approaches like those outlined in this book, they will continue to be a breeding ground for failure for those students who grow up in or near poverty. (9)
Six-Step Process for Teaching Vocabulary DVD
|An image of the DVD authored by Robert J. Marzano.
Teaching Basic and Advanced Vocabulary: A Framework for Direct Instruction
|An image of the book written by Robert J. Marzano.
- Grouping words into semantic clusters to provide meaning through context
- Conducting a snapshot assessment to evaluate students' prior knowledge of vocabulary
- Using comparison, classification, analogy, and metaphor activities
- Providing multiple exposures to words by using inventive games and other activities (12)

It is in the sea of people, of communication, of laughter, of happiness, of life on the warm sunny summer day that Antonio sees you through the crowd of hair and barrettes and hats, sitting with Arthur on a street cafe on the sidewalk he is walking on to work from lunch break.
He watches, as he walks through the bobbing wave of heads, as you smile and blush, darting eyes away coyly as Arthur, who is blushing furiously, leans across the small circular table to kiss your cheek.
A hand fumbles to his pocket, pulling out a thin phone, and unlocks it without glancing down as he refuses to tear his eyes from you and Arthur, who are giggling like two children who don't know any better, and then, finally, glances down to read the most recent text from you, not sent two minutes ago.
Yeah, I'm at home. See you soon! <3
And it is with a sinking feeling in his stomach that Antonio looks back up to the two of you and, in the crowd of hustle and bustle, in people laughing and chatting and gossiping and in the crowd of life, that he feels as if he is the loneliest man in the world.

'Taxing the cloud' up for debateNovember 18,2012MONTPELIER — Whether to levy Vermont's sales tax on so-called cloud computing will be up for discussion at the Vermont Statehouse.
Cloud computing happens most often when businesses, instead of buying software to run their processes, go on the Internet and pay to use software housed on computers located elsewhere.
Lawmakers this past spring passed a one-year moratorium and called for a study of whether the state should impose its sales tax on cloud computing services.
At a Statehouse session set for Monday afternoon, a special committee set to study the issue is to hear from state tax officials and analysts, as well as from a tax official from Washington state about that state's experience with levying the tax.MORE IN This Just InEmployee charged

VERGENNES — On Tuesday, Vergennes residents will choose in a two-person race for mayor between an incumbent one-term alderman and a former multi-term alderwoman and one-term mayor who has thrown her hat back in the ring after several years away from city politics.
Each, Alderman Bill Benton and former mayor April Jin, has been active in the community and is a long-time resident of Vergennes. Both are married with three grown children who have attended city schools.

VERGENNES — Vergennes residents on March 5 will decide whether to support the city council's $1.85 million bond proposal to pay for a new, 5,940-square-foot police station on North Main Street.
The price tag includes $1.15 million for the building, about $200,000 for site development costs, roughly $80,000 in design fees, a $50,000 contingency, $59,000 for a generator and furniture, and a number of other smaller expenses.
VERGENNES — Vergennes aldermen on Feb. 19 approved a new letter of intent between the city and Encore Redevelopment that focuses on putting a solar array on a small city-owned parcel near the Canal Street Vergennes-Panton Water District office.
VERGENNES — At their Feb. 19 meeting, Vergennes aldermen considered a solar array in the city (see story above). In other business, aldermen:
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Authorities on Friday arrested an Alaska man accused of shooting and killing a Vergennes native and another Coast Guard employee at a communications station on Kodiak Island, Alaska, last spring, the U.S. attorney said.
James Michael Wells, 61, of Kodiak is accused in a federal murder complaint of killing Petty Officer 1st Class James Hopkins, of Vergennes, and retired Chief Boatswain's Mate Richard Belisle on April 12, 2012.
The arrested man worked with the victims, a Coast Guard spokeswoman confirmed.
VERGENNES — After two failed bond votes, the Vergennes Union High School board will seek more feedback from the public before putting up another bond proposal for voter approval, its chairwoman said on Tuesday.
The board met on Monday night for the first time since its two-tiered proposal was defeated on Feb. 5.
A $4.2 million plan for renovations to the auditorium and kitchen/cafeteria, new roofing that officials said is badly needed, new bleachers for the middle school gym, and parking and sidewalk improvements failed, 820-671, or 55-45 percent.
VERGENNES — Local restaurateur Michel Mahé will soon have two operations on Main Street in Vergennes — and five in the Champlain Valley.
In April, Mahé plans to open the Park Squeeze, keeping that name, adding it to a restaurant portfolio that already includes the Black Sheep Bistro further west along Main Street, Bristol's Bobcat Café and Shelburne's Bearded Frog.
VERGENNES — Ivor Hughes of Monkton, an ardent hiker and backpacker, will present "The Klondike Gold Rush — A Nostalgic Journey to Retrace the Prospectors' Footsteps" at the Bixby Memorial Library in Vergennes on Thursday, Feb. 21, at 7 p.m.
VERGENNES — As the city of Vergennes considers building a new police station, Vergennes Police Chief George Merkel has shared additional details about a proposed new police station in Hinesburg, which has been used as a point of comparison to Vergennes' plans.
VERGENNES — Addison Northwest Supervisory Union residents on Tuesday voted down two Vergennes Union High School bonds totaling $6.2 million that the VUHS board had hoped would pay for major improvements inside and outside the school.
A $4.2 million bond proposal lost, 820-671, or 55-45 percent, in commingled balloting in the five ANwSU towns.

National Zoo Creates 'Name The Panda' Contest
The zoo in Washington, D.C. says the name will be bestowed on Dec. 1 when the cub is 100 days old. In the meantime, the baby panda is getting acquainted with its surroundings.
Good morning, I'm Steve Inskeep. We've brought our staff into the studio to respond to this sappy story about the baby panda at the National Zoo. The zoo in Washington is holding an online contest to name the panda. The name will be bestowed Dec. 1st, when the cub is 100 days old.
Meanwhile, we can report the kid went for a walk. Colleagues were told she crawled out of the den all by herself, though she then got tired and went to sleep in the doorway.

Mass. woman sues over spouse's Vt. triathlon deathThe Associated Press | July 26,2013SALEM, Mass. - The widow of a Massachusetts man who drowned during a triathlon in Vermont last year has filed a $1 million lawsuit against the event's organizers.
Lawyers for Richard Angelo's widow, Cheryl, say Colorado-based USA Triathlon should never have allowed the event to take place in an unusually choppy Lake Champlain, failed to properly train staff in emergency responses, didn't have enough staff on hand, and did not have adequate lifesaving equipment.
The suit filed Wednesday in Salem Superior Court seeks damages for wrongful death, pain and suffering, emotional distress on the part of his widow, and punitive damages.
The 53-year-old Beverly man died last Aug. 18.
A spokesman for USA Triathlon told The Salem News the organization had not yet seen the suit and could not comment on it.MORE IN This Just InNORTH BENNINGTON Two public meetings, in North Bennington and Shaftsbury, have been set for...

Even in iTunes 11, there is no fade out when pausing playback or fade in when starting playback. How can I achieve this?
In Automator, create a new Service, add a Run AppleScript action to it, and enter the following script:
You can assign a keyboard shortcut to it in System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Services.
you can use this script, Im using this for fade out/in music when I pause or play my music, or skipping songs, its great and works fine with the built in crossfade from playback menu.its great for party play list and works just fine with the latest version of itunes (12.1.2) http://www.wildbits.com/accubeatmix/

Nicole Richie
Nicole Richie in Denim Shorts & Tights
Nicole Richie debuts her Spring 2010 collection of Winter Kate at Bloomingdale's in New York City wearing denim shorts over tights. Another beautiful celeb who is rocking this trend and wearing it incredibly well! I love her chic style and the Louboutin boots are gorgeous! What do you think of Nicole's outfit?

Nicole Richie in Custom Paige Premium
Nicole Richie was spotted making her way around California wearing a pair of custom Paige Premium Denim jeans. These look so MUCH like her beachwood washed jeans but they are not (the wash isn't the same)… Paige confirmed that they are a custom pair Lou Lou fit jean, gifted to her over a year ago. Even though she is totally killing those hems, I really love the way she casually wears these jeans.
Editors note – Paige Premium are also coming out with loads more washes for the Lou Lou jean very soon! It's a baby bell bottom jean with a classic rise, it's hard to tell the fit as Nicole wears them really loosely. Nicole is also wearing an LnA Cape Tee, which you can buy at Singer22.
Celine Dion in Balmain
It has been while since we saw someone in Balmain! Celine Dion was caught wearing Balmain jeans on her way into the studio in Hollywood, California. Celine is part of the the all-star cast to record a remake of Michael Jackson's 'We Are the World' to beneft the Haitian Relief fund. Also part of the all-star cast includes: Miley Cyrus, Jason Mraz, Jennifer Hudson, Nicole Richie, Usher, Lady GaGa, and more.

The Bettina Liano CURVY campaign features Australia's Next Top Model
The Australian label Bettina Liano is releasing a curvy fit jean to add to the already famous O collection. Fans of the line include Gemma Ward (who was a former face of the label) Nicole Richie, Pink and Venus Williams. It's designed with a women's shape in mind, featuring a sexy silhouette which flatters the smaller waist and larger hips and thighs. Australia's Next Top Model winner, Tahnee Atkinson, will be the new face of the campaign.
The new cut jeans will be available in two different styles, boot-cut and slider, which is a more straight cut jean. They will be available in indigo rinse, which is Bettina Liano's signature wash. The brand hopes to add more curvy styles to the collection in the future. Pricing starts at $249 and are available in Bettina Liano boutiques worldwide. Check out images from the campaign below.

Photoshop mastery right there. LISTEN: Bow Wow + Lil Wayne – "Sweat"
It's probably not that fashionable to dig a Bow Wow record, but here's a rare glimpse into the young man's soul. He's not holding back.
This is one of those songs that we'll never understand the appeal of, but works in the club every time. Allstar remix video with the white backdrop (c) "Flava In Ya Ear (Remix)".
New video from Bow Wow off his last album, New Jack City II. The track features Ron Browz and Nelly, and is titled "What They Call Me (Big Time)" on the album, but is only titled "Big Time" for the video. Production from Jermaine Dupri and Ron Browz.
This actually looks pretty funny, with Man Bow Wow getting knocked out a lot. Cube trades goofy for kufi.
"FINALLY…… After a year of trying to GET PAID, da lil homie @bowwow to give me the rest of my $100,000 ! R.E.D." Really guys? This apparently is Twitpic proof that Bow Wow has paid Game $85,000 that he owes him for making a bet last year that The Game spoke about in an interview [cont.]
Jermaine Dupri has formed a super-group called Ocean's 7, along with Nelly, Usher, Trey Songz, Bow Wow, B Cox, Johnta Austin, and Itny, with the end result being like a really soft, watered down version of The Wu-Tang Clan. They've been making appearances around Vegas together, taking over tables at Tryst and XS, etc, trying [cont.]

|Named in honor of Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, the Darwin Awards commemorate those who improve our gene pool by removing themselves from it.
Homemade Wine
(22 April 2004, Georgia) At a
Cave Springs "convenience dump" where local residents could drop off waste
for later delivery to the main county dump, monitors were paid to ensure
that residents deposited only allowed waste. One keen-eyed inspector
noticed a bottle in the trash compactor that looked suspiciously like
homemade wine. He fished the bottle out of the compactor. At this point you
may be thinking this is a "man crushed by compactor" story--but no!
After safely retrieving the bottle, the gentleman in question and another local man proceeded to drink the "wine". Apparently, neither of them took a clue from the fact that the bottle had been thrown away in a dump, leading to the reasonable conclusion that its contents were undrinkable. This particular vintage was antifreeze. Both men were poisoned, and one died.

$theTitle=wp_title(" - ", false); if($theTitle != "") { ?>
Let's be honest. We've known that Anderson Cooper has played for our team for quite some time now. Okay, we may not know, we just assume. But come on. Isn't it blatantly obvious? Let's look at the facts. He's been seen out in public with longtime boyfriend Benjamin Maisani in plain sight and has laughed at himself when called closeted in front of colleagues.
Now an annonymous source who has tipped off Gawker is claiming that Anderson may be ready to come out of the closet on his daytime talk show during February sweeps. We know that the show has already been picked up for second season so they aren't that desperate for ratings. But, it would finally be the news we've all be dying to hear, am I right boys? Here's Gawker's published tip.
Daytime talk show "Anderson" is having their first Christmas party [tonight], 15 December, at the Russian Tea Room. Anderson Cooper is bringing Benjamin Maisani. And introducing him as his "boyfriend" to the staff. The staff is prepping Anderson's "coming out" show for the next sweeps. Check the ratings. They're getting desperate.
Brian Moylan from Gawker placed a call to the Russian Tea Room who confirmed that Anderson was indeed hosting his Christmas party there. While some of you may be shocked that Anderson will be introducing Benjamin Maisani as his boyfriend, I'm sure he's being doing it with close friends and family for a while. Rumor has it the two live together in a firehouse turned condo. PS, if you've seen pictures of Benjamin, you know these two have the hottest gay sex you can fantasize.
In all fairness, if Anderson has been gay this whole time like we've been assuming, then it's about time he made the announcement. I have understood his reasoning behind it due to the fact that he's wanted to stay neutral with his journalism. However, with the way things have been going for the LGBT community worldwide, it would be a great opportunity for him to take the giant leap.
Do you think Anderson will come out of the closet in February? Sound off below.

Me and my friend, Tim, are gonna predict the winners of the next dancing with the stars!
I found this sentence from a book.
I wonder why we don't use "I and my friend" since I think it must be the subject of "are gonna predict"
Me and my friend, Tim, are gonna predict the winners of the next dancing with the stars!
I found this sentence from a book.
I wonder why we don't use "I and my friend" since I think it must be the subject of "are gonna predict"
It can be a subject, but only in the sense that people can use incorrect grammar. It isn't correct grammar, for the reason you correctly state.
The correct usage is "My friend Tim and I are going to predict[...]". So you are correct, except common usage is to place the self last in the list, preceded by other pronouns, and putting any nouns first. So "My mother, Jane, he and I will get together tonight" is the typical order. (Note that in this sentence, my mother and Jane are two different people. If Jane were my mother, the sentence would read "My mother Jane, he and I will get together tonight." It's interesting how much a comma can change a meaning.)
On the other hand, it is the sort of thing that young people say to exasperate their elders. :)
No, me can't be a subject:
This is something no native speaker would say. It's out-and-out wrong. If you say this sentence, you sound like a caveman.
But the following sentence is very different:
Although this is perceived as informal and non-standard, lots of native speakers talk this way! It's a very natural sentence, and you'll hear people say this all the time.
So it's clearly a big mistake to say that these two usages are wrong for the same reason. Sentence 1 is ungrammatical—me can't be a subject. But me and my friend can! It may be considered informal and even non-standard, but sentence 2 is natural and grammatical.
Although sentence 2 is very natural, children are taught in school that it's incorrect. They're taught that they must say the following instead:
And so, as a student of Standard English, you should say it this way too. Instead of the natural order and case (me and X), you should use the opposite order and case (X and I). There's no reason like "me can't be a subject" or "I must appear last because it's more polite". The only reason is that students are taught to speak this way, and so you should, too.
Just keep in mind that you'll hear it the other way all the time, especially informally, and that when native speakers talk that way they're not speaking incorrectly.
(As an aside, the commas around Tim are unnecessary, but the difference between "me and my friend Tim" and "me and my friend, Tim" should be asked as a separate question.)
In this answer, the * symbol indicates that a sentence is ungrammatical.
The difference between "me" and "I" is well-addressed in this article. The sentence you have above is technically ungrammatical, because you wouldn't say:
However native English speakers would accept your original sentence as correct in colloquial English because in compound subjects even native speakers often fail to use the subject pronoun 'I'. This behavior is well explained in the article linked above:
As mentioned in another answer, however, the word order you used is slightly less common (though not incorrect), and more often you might hear either of these sentences:
It seems to me that
This might be a way for the studious person speaking to distance himself from his dissolute friends who are off to the pub.
I believe that the above is both idiomatically and grammatically correct. Question is - is "me" considered part of the subject? If it is not, can someone tell me what it is?
On a related note - nobody would say "I and my friend are going to predict...". So let me ask the question differently. Clearly we can say:
Then ought there not to be a syntactically correct way of changing the order? My first choice would be:
but I accept that this doesn't sound quite right. However, I'm pretty sure that
is correct - and follows the same approach as the first example above. In other words - "Me" used at the start of the sentence for emphasis, but repeated in another word which becomes the "actual subject" (in this case, "we"). It is clearly better than
Of course in the quoted sentence, this is only one of the problems.
The use of the comma: "Me and my friend, Tim, " implies one of two things. Either the speaker has only one friend, and that friend's name is 'Tim'; or the speaker is addressing someone called "Tim" while explaining that he and his friend are going to do something.
Then there is "gonna"...
And finally "the winners of the next dancing with the stars", where Dancing with the stars, which is the title of a TV show, needs to be shown to be a title by either using italics, or putting the name in quotes; either way, as a name it ought to be capitalized (and quite probably fully capitalized: Dancing With The Stars is how it is shown on the owners' website).
This is interesting - in speech, you will often hear people doing this, and it sounds natural - to me, as a native speaker, there's nothing wrong with it, even though it uses "me", which you normally don't find in the subject.
To answer your question:
No. "Me" cannot be the subject because it is an objective pronoun. So it must be used as the object. Here's an example. "Tony gave the gift to her and me." So your options are: 1) My friend Tim and I are going to predict. 2) I and my friend Tim are going to predict. (It is incorrect to say,"Me and my friend Tim are going to predict.")

The atmosphere was very relaxed. Everything seemed very well unkept and clean. The room was very large and nice for the price!
Easy access to where we were going
Old motel with rooms that needed a good cleaning.
Bathroom was clean.
The self check in didn't work, had to wait for staff, the first key didn't work, 1 of the 2 beds had dirty sheets - VERY dirty! The sheets actually had blood & dirt on them. Under the beds were filthy looked like never vacuumed. I'm requesting a refund.
The rooms were dirty ,smelled bad,sheets were dirty,bathroom had no towels but dirty
Room was clean, soft bed, helpful staff.
Went to take shower late. No cold water but plenty of hot. It was too late to call office.
It had a great hot complimentary breakfast, and I was able to log on and print my boarding pass for my upcoming flight in the lobby area.
Staff was very helpful.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

text: So I got the game of the year edition, downloaded all four expansions, and decided to check out zombie island for some shits and giggles. What I did was accept the first mission, turning on the turrets for the claptrap. It is listed as a lvl 25 mission and I am currently lvl 25. I didnt complete the main story yet. Will this effect my dlc? If I beat the regular game and go back to zombie island will it ramp the difficulty up to my future lvl, or keep it at a lowly 25???

This seems to have been covered in bits in the past but I can't find a full explanation for this particular problem.
I'm using WooCommerce with the Mystile theme, and I'm trying to find the simplest and most efficient way to show ONLY TWO of the main categories on the homepage. So I either need to find a way to hide all the other categories AND subcategories, or code to show only categories 20 and 21 (these are the category IDs)
I started by trying to find out how to disable the subcategories but the only info I can find on this is from earlier versions of WooCommerce e.g. http://www.skyverge.com/blog/hide-certain-woocommerce-subcategories-catalog/
I have also been looking at how to exclude categories using wp_list_categories but I'm not sure if I can transfer the categories-template.php to a child theme, or even if I need to. I'm also not sure that's the most efficient solution to the problem, especially as we may be adding more categories and subcategories in the future which will also need to be hidden.
Can anyone provide a solution?

On Tap Today: Hello Cello
This is a city that appreciates its cello; after all, how many rock bands can you find in other towns where the cello is a central part of the sound, as is the case with star Milwaukee act I'm Not a Pilot?
But one can never show too much appreciation for this fine instrument. Recognizing this fact, the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music is presenting "Art of the Cello" at 7 p.m. tonight. And it's not just your average everyday cello player who'll be showcasing the instrument, but Tamas Varga, a cello player for one of the world's most esteemed orchestras, the Vienna Philharmonic. Varga will be playing solo compositions for cello from composers Ligeti, Ibert and Gal, and the evening's concert will also pay tribute to the piano, courtesy of guest pianist Stephen Beus. »Read Full Blog Post

First Stage's ambitious 'Promised Land' is a dream deferred
Ruth, an African-American girl in her early teens, is lost. Her father is long gone. Her overworked mother is rarely around. Her beloved brother is dead. It's 1969, and, while Ruth should be in school, she is watching TV instead.
In "To the Promised Land" - unveiled by First Stage Children's Theater on Friday night - playwright Jonathan Gillard Daly links Ruth's struggles with another coming-of-age story that unfolded in Milwaukee, where a young Golda Meir underwent her own journey of self-discovery. Daly places both girls in the same house on Walnut St., nearly 60 years apart. »Read Full Article
