Lots to talk about from this weekend, so let's get to it.
NBA Playoffs from The Armchair
- In his first-ever playoff appearance, LeBron James made his case as the league's MVP by putting up an historic performance as his Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Washington Wizards 97-86 on Saturday. James scored 32 with 11 rebounds and as many assists, making him only the third person to record a triple-double in playoff history. Not bad, for a beginner.
- LeBron was in elementary school (as was yours truly) the last time the Cavs and the Los Angeles Clippers were in the playoffs together. In fact, it was also the last time the latter won a playoff game – until Saturday. Hadn't it been for a near-collapse near the end and Vladimir Radmanovic to save their skin, the Clippers' game against the Denver Nuggets would've ended up like the Cavs'. Just think, six years ago, nobody gave any thought to the Clippers being in the playoffs ever again. Wishful thinking turned into reality, perhaps?
- Trying to go back to your normal routine after a loved one passes away is difficult enough. Doubly so for Miami Heat head coach Pat Riley, whose team was in the playoffs for the third year in a row. Despite this unwanted distraction, Riley managed to lead his Heat to a 111-106 win over the Chicago Bulls. Condolences to Riley and his family on his mother's passing, by the way.
NHL Playoffs from The Armchair
- Going into the playoffs, a rather young New York Rangers team staggered into the playoffs on a five-game losing streak, while across the Hudson River, the battle-hardened New Jersey Devils had won their last 11 straight games. On Saturday in the swamps of New Jersey, the Devils had momentum – and a decree from NHL commissioner Gary Bettman about the Three Blind Mice calling penalties in the playoffs as though the regular season never ended – on their side as the Devils routed the Blueshirts 6-1. While the Devils have never beaten the Rangers in the playoffs, this will hopefully augur well for them.
- Another young but slightly more experienced team, the Buffalo Sabres, needed double overtime to notch the first game in their series against the Philadelphia Flyers. Daniel Briere scored the game-winner to put the Buffalo six on top 3-2. Talkin' proud, talkin' proud...
Yanks end near-sweep trend
Maybe a change of scenery and the return of a familiar voice was what the New York Yankees needed to get them out of weekend series trouble. While they lost their first home game since the season-opener against the Kansas City Royals – not to mention the first of the season for long-time public address announcer Bob Sheppard – the Yanks beat the Baltimore Orioles 6-1 and 7-1. Interestingly, the Yankees have been much like yours truly so far this year – day people. They are 8-0 this year in day games, compared to 1-8 at night.
Beanballs, boots galore in Colorado
Coors Field, the Colorado Rockies' home park, is infamous for having home runs leave the park like gangbusters because of its altitude. But this weekend, beanballs and ejections were also mile high.
It all started the night before when Rockies' reliever Jose Mesa plunked San Francisco Giants shortstop Omar Vizquel with a pitch in the same game where the former and – are you strapped in? – Barry Bonds homered. Bonds' tater was the 709th of his career and first this season, by the way.
The following day, the beanball war intensified. In all, four players from both teams were victims of dusters. When all was said and done, their respective managers, one pitcher each, and Giants pitching coach Dave Righetti had been given the gate. No doubt, a wild weekend in Denver.
Odds and sods
- Speaking of blow-ups, Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Chase Utley lost his temper and got the boot along with manager Charlie Manuel while teammate Ryan Howard clubbed two home runs – including a monster tape-measure job – in their 4-2 win over the Florida Marlins.
- On the same day the Milwaukee Brewers displayed their old-school unies that had long-time baseball fans remembering the days of Paul Molitor and Robin Yount, they played like they were in their last years at County Stadium. Brewers pitcher Doug Davis walked a franchise record-tying nine batters as the Brew Crew were shut out 11-0 at the hands of the Cincinnati Reds.
- Somebody break up the Kansas City Royals!
That's all for this week...
Until next time, let's all be good sports.

Justin Vaïsse
Justin Vaïsse is a French historian, who is currently the director of the Policy Planning staff of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs. His father is prominent historian Maurice Vaïsse, who specialized in the same areas as his son.
Vaïsse was the director of research for the Center on the United States and Europe and a senior fellow in Foreign Policy at the Brookings Institution. He was also an adjunct professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) in Washington D.C. His areas of expertise include Islam in France; French foreign policy; European affairs; American neoconservatism; American foreign policy; transatlantic relations; and international relations.
Vaïsse is the author of many articles and books including, most recently (2010), Neoconservatism: The Biography of a Movement, Harvard University Press,[1] It has been hailed as "one of the most comprehensive and balanced studies of the history of neoconservatism yet to appear," by Professor Francis Fukuyama.
Vaïsse is the author, co-author or editor of seven books on the United States, especially on American foreign policy, including the award-winning L'empire du milieu. Les Etats-Unis et le monde depuis la fin de la guerre froide (with Pierre Melandri – Paris, 2001) and Washington et le monde. Dilemmes d'une superpuissance (with Pierre Hassner – Paris, 2003).
He published Integrating Islam: Political and Religious Challenges in Contemporary France (Brookings Press, 2006) with Professor Jonathan Laurence from Boston College, a book named "2007 Outstanding Academic Title" by the American Library Association and subsequently translated into French. It has been criticized by Barry Rubin for relying entirely on French sources and failing to examine the influence of Arabic language sources on Muslims in France.[2]
His more recent field of research is Europe's external relations. Starting in 2010, Vaïsse initiated and led, with Hans Kundnani, a project called the European Foreign Policy Scorecard, done in partnership with the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), to evaluate Europe's performance on the world stage. The first edition, published by ECFR in 2011, was described by Foreign Affairs as "a pioneering experiment in foreign policy analysis", and the second edition (2012) has had significant political impact in many European capitals.
Vaïsse is currently at work on a biography of former National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, to be published in 2013, as well as an analytical account of Barack Obama's foreign policy, to be published by Brookings Press.

Nonville Vacation Packages
Nonville is close to a diverse collection of Seine-et-Marne's attractions. Two destinations that should be on every visitor's list is the fabulous Golf Club Montereau La Forteresse and the ever-popular Fontainebleau Golf Club. Two other popular spots close by Nonville are the Chateau de Fontainebleau and the Church of the Assumption of Esmans.
Get active in nature while you are in the area. Relax and enjoy the fresh air. Enjoy some of the beautiful city parks such as Montereau-Fault-Yonne Park in Montereau-Fault-Yonne.
Grab a map and a camera and explore the many sights and attractions Seine-et-Marne has to offer. Admire some of the religious sites such as the Church of Montereau-Fault-Yonne in Montereau-Fault-Yonne. Relax in the calm atmosphere and gain an appreciation of the religious history of the area.
When you're ready to wind down after a day spent exploring the delights of Nonville, check in to one of the area's convenient bed-and-breakfast, hotel and short-stay apartment options.

Only a little more than a week before the big night. Over the next three days I'll be polishing off my personal nominations, leading up to the unveiling of my top 20 list starting on Tuesday.
For today, I'm tackling the sound categories, beginning with Sound Editing:
EVEREST (Glenn Freemantle)
The ferocious sound design gives Mt. Everest a frightful voice of its own. Even in complete stillness, the dangerous creaking of ice and deafening howl of the wind keeps us mindful of the mountain's perils.
MAD MAX: FURY ROAD (Mark A. Mangini, Scott Hecker, David White)
One of the more remarkable achievements is how every vehicle is lent its own distinct personality aurally, and not just visually. You could identify them with your eyes closed! Plus, the ADR work is A++.
THE REVENANT (Randy Thom, Lon Bender, Martín Hernández)
As beautiful as the visuals are, its the extensive library of environmental sounds effects – animals, rivers, footsteps in half-melted snow – that truly bring the wilderness to life.
SICARIO (Tom Ozanich, Alan Robert Murray)
Every scene – whether quiet or loud – is dense with detail. From the off-screen gunfire of the tunnel raid to the tortuous squeak of Alejandro's 'Wet Willy'; All of it appropriately frightening.
SON OF SAUL (Tamás Zányi)
Many of the horrors of Aushwitz are experienced aurally for the viewer, constantly flowing in and out of earshot as Saul moves around; Deeply unsettling but artful work.
JUST missed:
The Hateful Eight (Wylie Stateman, Harry Cohen)
Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Matthew Wood, David Accord)
Other considerations:
Crimson Peak (Randy Thom, Dennis Leonard)
The Martian (Oliver Tarney)
A War (Morten Green)

We stayed 4 nights in the Thompson. The location in Beverly Hills is great, just a few minutes away from Rodeo Drive. Wonderful roof terrace bar and pool overlooking LA. Rooms were nice, but we had problems with the air condition and they couldnt fix it so we had to make them turn it off. Same problem in the room of our kids. 35$ valet parking per day, 15$ internet charge per day per room. Tip: use the free internet on roof terrace. Overall wie had a great time and if you stay in Beverly Hills you have to know its gonna be expensive. Tip for breakfast: Walk left from hotel and turn left into Beverly Drive. 2 blocks down on the left you will find a great Café just next to starbucks. 5min walk from hotel.

Halliburton Scandal: Aisha Buhari Writes Fayose, Demands Retraction In 5 Days
Aisha Buhari, wife of Nigeria's president, General Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday, June 22, 2016 wrote to Ekiti State governor, Ayo Fayose demanding a retraction of his claims that she was named in the bribery case involving disgraced former US lawmaker, Williams Jefferson.
According to Premium Times, an online newspaper and a spirited defender of Mrs. Buhari on this scandal, the letter was sent via courier to Governor Fayose on Wednesday.
In a warning letter from Nigerian law firm, Mary Ekpere & Co, Aisha Buhari said Fayose's action was directly responsible for the publication of the "very wild and unfounded" allegations in the media.
The subject of the letter is, "Demand for unqualified retraction of the false statement published by you in various media on the 20th of June, 2016, and subsequent dates regarding our client, Her Excellency, Mrs. Aisha Buhari the wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR,"
In it, reportedly, Aisha Buhari gave Governor Fayose five working days to retract the statement or face legal action.
"Our client has referred to us statement made by you and published on the 20th of June, 2016 (and other subsequent days) concerning and pertaining to her person for necessary action.
"The said statement which was caused by you and your agents to be widely circulated and published in various media platforms: print, electronic and online on 20th of June, 2016, contains very wild, unfounded and false allegations and imputations against the person of our client.
"Specifically, in the said statement credited to you and signed by your Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, you, inter alia, false stated as follows:
""Even the president cannot claim to be an angel. The estate he built in Abuja is known to us. His wife was indicted over the Halliburton Scandal (sic). When that American, Jeferson, was being sentenced, the President's wife was mentioned as having wired $170,000 to Jefferson. Her name was on page 25 of the sentencing of Jefferson. We can serialise the judgement for people to see and read.
"Take notice that unless you and your agents meet our humble demands within 5 (five) working days of the receipt of this letter, we shall take all necessary steps within the contemplation of the law to seek redress for our client."
Madam, Visit US And Clear Your Name – Fayose
Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State has challenged wife of Nigeria's president and first lady, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, to travel to the United States of America to prove her innocence in the Halliburton scam.
In a statement released on Wednesday, June 22, 2016 and signed by his chief press secretary, Idowu Adelusi, the governor commented on the alleged involvement of President Buhari's wife, Aisha Buhari challenging her to visit the United States of America.
Such a move, Fayose maintained would convince convince Nigerians that she was not the Aisha Buhari mentioned in the judgment which convicted disgraced US congressman, William Jefferson.
Governor Fayose said, "It is on record that the president has visited the United States of America three times and his wife did not travel with him. Equally, she ought to have visited the US last year September to chair a United Nation programme but she sent wife of the senate president, Dr. Toyin Saraki to represent her."
Fayose Exposes Nigeria's First Lady, Aisha Buhari
The Ekiti state governor on Monday, June 20, 2016 distributed a link to the US Department of Justice's website where court documents mentioning Aisha Buhari as one who aided the transfer of bribes to Jefferson, an American lawmaker who was convicted of corruption in 2009 and is currently serving his sentence in a US prison.
Aisha Buhari was named in the infamous Halliburton bribery case according to United States government documents.
Mr. Fayose broadcast this fact on Monday, June 20, 2016, soon after announcing that Nigeria's anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, had ordered a freeze on his personal bank account.
Her husband, President Buhari had issued an insult-filled press statement on Tuesday, June 21, 2016 in response to Fayose's allegation threatening legal action and demanding that Fayose provide proof that the Aisha Buhari mentioned in the corruption scandal which took down US congressman, William Jefferson was indeed his wife.
But, not satisfied with the statement from the presidency defending her honour, Aisha Buhari took to micro-blogging website, Twitter, to lash out at Fayose calling him a mad dog.
The Other Aisha Speaks Out From US
Meanwhile, a US-based woman, Aisha Buhari whose passport is being circulated by online supporters of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, as the woman mentioned in the William Jefferson bribery scandal has denied any involvement in the case.
In a report by The Street Journal, Ms. Aisha Buhari told the news magazine that her passport was stolen in 2015 and that Nigerian politicians were dragging her name into this scandal to cover up their corruption. Online newspaper, TheCable, had reported the story exclusively showcasing Ms. Buhari's passport.
An individual, who identifies as an All Progressives Congress supporter, had shared the full image of Ms. Buhari's travel passport to one of The Trent's editors on Tuesday, June 21, 2016. He claimed that the woman in the photo was the Aisha Buhari mentioned in the William Jefferson bribery scandal. Normally, we wouldn't publish this image, but it has already been circulated widely.

Split Rails
Criminal Minds
Author's Note:
Our cast just can't seem to not injure themselves, can they? This oneshot has… well, sort of a backstory. It is my version (a humored one, at that) of what happened to Reid (and now Morgan) and why they injured themselves. The back story to this is that… well, it really happened to a friend, my brother, and I – not that we actually broke anything when this happened, but we indeed ended up in the emergency room. My brother was the only one who remained standing, looking down with a quite puzzled look on his face. This one shot is going out to the aforementioned one, also the one I called this morning, screaming my lungs out about how our cast needed to be put in a giant bubble.
Derek Morgan ran a hand over his head as he turned his eyes towards Hotchner. The day had been a long one, there was no understating that, and a wild goose chase had ran them to where they currently were. The two black SUVs were humming idly by the side of the duck pond. The Gris Mill wasn't open at this time of night, and there were barely any lights. The BAU had raced to this pond based on the profile that they'd incorrectly come up with. Now, three of the team stood across the street from the pond, looking out with puzzled gazes, each inside their own minds. They'd fully expected to find their UnSub here, which had been an immense disappointment to all of them. They were back at square one now. The fence behind Morgan was of the wooden split rail variety. It stood on the top of a hill that tumbled down to a brook, interrupted by a contraption made of a cinder block looking material, which Reid assumed was for the giant wind mill that stood somewhere behind them. At least, he assumed it was a wind mill, as seeing much of anything at this time of night was almost an absolute impossibility.
"The profile was wrong," Reid said, tired legs finally deciding that they weren't too keen on holding him up anymore, and he sat, ungracefully, on the fence behind them, eyes out on the duck pond across the street. "Obviously, this isn't his place of solace." The young genius rubbed a hand across his tired eyes.
Morgan joined him on the fence, stifling a yawn. "I don't think so, kid. All I know is that this is – ironically – a wild goose chase." In response, a far off goose honked obnoxiously into the night air.
"Then we need to find out what exactly is his place of solace, before he kills again – we have less than a day." Hotch said, his dark suit making it seem as if only his face hovered in the night air. He looked at the fence, knowing that the added weight of him sitting on it probably wasn't a good idea, and instead leaned back against it.
Did your parents ever tell you the story about the little animals on the see-saw when you were a child? The animals wanted to make the weight even so they could use the seesaw. One end was up in the air, the other flat on the ground. A hippo sat on one side, perhaps a swan sat on the other. More and more animals poured onto the swan's side of the see-saw, but to no avail –the hippo was just too heavy.
And then, just when the animals are about to give up, a wayward fly lands on the swan's side of the see-saw, and down they go.
Hotch was that wayward fly.
The sliding action of his body against the split rail of the fence caused the wooden pole to dislodge from its notch, wiggling itself free of the fence it made the top rail of. The bottom rail mercilessly stayed in place.
Spencer Reid screamed a scream that would be talked about for years as he and Derek Morgan flew through the air, tripped by the bottom rail, and sailed head over heels down the hill behind them. Gravity had been having a bad day, and needed some comfort food, which, apparently, came in the form of two BAU profilers.
"Hotchhhhh!" It was the scream that was only in movies, the one that got smaller and smaller as one fell through space.
Gravity had also left Aaron Hotchner standing, still facing the pond across from them. Feeling the absence of the fence rail, he turned to find his teammates lying at the bottom of the hill – the only thing that had stopped Derek Morgan from entering the brook was the cinder block, and the only thing that had stopped Spencer Reid from entering the brook were the rocks at the bank of it.
"Reid? Morgan?" He stared down at the hill, wondering if he'd done that.
There was a rustle of movement behind him as the rest of the team appeared, staring down at the mess of a fence.
"Was that the fence?" Rossi asked, brow furrowed.
"I think I did that." Hotch said, staring into the darkness. "Are you guys alright?" He called down, climbing over the remains of the fence, along with Rossi, Prentiss, and JJ, who was calling Reid's name repetitively into the dark.
"Down here." Came the response, slightly pained. "I think I hurt my knee." JJ and Hotch went to him as Prentiss and Rossi helped a groaning Morgan sit up.
"I think I broke my leg." Morgan answered, growling slightly. He paused. "Do we have to tell Garcia about this?"
"The cast'll be hard to miss." Hotch called back up the hill, he and JJ supporting a limping Reid up the hill.
Morgan groaned, not from pain, but from the fact that he would have to tell a certain technical analyst just how he'd ended up breaking his leg.
It was later at Joseph's Hospital that a tired looking nurse posed questions of admittance to both Morgan and Reid.
"How did this happen?" The dark haired woman asked the question that both profilers had been dreading.
"I was saving a kitten from a burning tree. I threw the kitten down and lost my balance." Morgan answered, joking despite the pain he was in. In fact, he sounded quite serious, and the nurse eyed him for a moment before turning her eyes to Reid.
"And you?"
"I was the kitten." Reid answered.
Author's Note:
Yes, my friend Agnixx and I really fell down a hill, but I was the only one who ended up in the emergency room. She came with and sat in the waiting room with my brother and listened to conversations with little kids and their parents about what blood was and if eyes contained it. Literally.

ABQ365 is a new initiative for the Visit Albuquerque that incorporates both a comprehensive calendar of events and blog with an expanded target audience. The events calendar will continue to deliver upcoming events information to a visitor audience, but has now expanded to be a comprehensive calendar of events for Albuquerque locals as well. Inclusion on the ABQ365 calendar of events is absolutely free.
The new ABQ365 brand will add to the already established audience of Visit Albuquerque's calendar of events, providing a more comprehensive look at things happening around town and inserting local voices into the content. In 2013, Visit Albuquerque's calendar of events received over 255,000 visits and over 836,000 pageviews. That is an average of more than 21,000 visits and 70,000 pageviews per month! Almost 40% of that traffic was coming from the Albuquerque area with almost no formal local
promotion. We can't wait to see how that will grow with this new effort!
Below we provide an overview of your opportunities to collaborate with us. If you have any questions or would like to contact us to discuss further opportunities, please email
or call 505-222-4351.

Concerned with aesthetics and potential environmental hazards, Town of Port Washington officials last week began considering ways to beef up its junked vehicle regulations. "We've had some complaints recently," Town Chairman Jim Melichar told the Plan Commission April 11. "There's a farm on Highway H where they're collecting tractors. They must have 200 along the fenceline. Some people think it's a nuisance." Other members of the commission cited areas along Highway LL and Highway KK where abandoned vehicles can be seen littering the countryside. While the town code prohibits the storing of junked vehicles, truck bodies, trailers, tractors and appliances for more than 30 days, it exempts farms from that regulation. "That isn't right," Supr. Jim Rychtik, a member of the commission, said. "I'm zoned agriculture. I'm growing corn and raising pigs, so I can park cars? I shouldn't be exempt." Today, farmers have some of the cleanest properties in the township, he noted. Melichar said his concern springs not so much from aesthetics but from the potential for contamination if oil or gas from these junk vehicles drips onto the land and contaminates the soil and groundwater. "I know this is going to bite us someday," he said. Plan Commission member Dave Murphy suggested the town get rid of the exemption. "If they have a car they're just too lazy to get rid of, is that right?" he asked. But Supr. Mike Didier, a member of the commission, warned that it may not be easy to enforce the regulations. "If we start to enforce this, are we poking a hornet's nest?" he asked. "The first guy you drag in here is going to come in with a list as long as his arms of properties with junked cars." Rychtik said that isn't the right reason not to do anything. "I don't think we're saying we're going to go on a witch hunt," he said. "But we need a better ordinance so we can enforce it." "If we don't say you can't do it, you can't enforce it," commission member Randy Noll said. Building Inspector Rick Fellenz noted some people use old vehicles as art. If the town makes an exception for this, he said, everyone will claim their abandoned vehicles are art. Although the commission seemed reluctant to take action, Melichar said he expects the Town Board will refer the matter back to the panel for a recommendation.
A plan to reconfigure the parking lot behind the 100 block of Franklin Street was presented to a group of about two dozen downtown Port Washington business and property owners Monday and, unlike a previous concept, this proposal seemed to be accepted by virtually everyone. The plan, created by the Main Street Design Committee, is intended to make the lot a safe, inviting area for pedestrians and motorists and to link the downtown with the city's lakefront. Main Street Executive Director Sara Grover said that in a survey done several years ago, marina users said there was one big barrier between them and Franklin Street merchants. "That barrier was this concrete parking lot," she said. "We need to change that." Only two spaces would be lost with the plan, which would incorporate two-way traffic throughout the lot, create a sidewalk on the west side of the lot behind Duluth Trading Co. and Schooner Pub and add a raised crosswalk leading from the alley next to Schooner Pub to the harborwalk. The parking lot plans would dovetail with plans to improve the alley next to Schooner, turning it into a pedestrian way, officials said. It would also incorporate landscaping around the edges and on the interior to camouflage dumpsters and transformers. Much of the landscaping would be bushes that would not block views of the lake. But Elizabeth O'Connell suggested that the city plant large shade trees, trimming the lower branches to retain lake views but creating a canopy that would shade the lot and create an inviting landscape. "If you want to provide any sense of the lake and greenery, you have got to put something up higher," she said. But Karen Poull, who with her husband Mark owns Schooner Pub, disagreed, saying it would block too many views. The lake view is what people want to see, she said. The cul-de-sac on the east end of Main Street would be shortened, creating a sitting area with a feature — perhaps a fountain — in the center. Architect Mike Ehrlich, a member of the Design Committee, said the group is continuing to look at ways to link the lot and lakefront with the Ozaukee Interurban Trail. Electrical lines would be buried and the parking meters removed, likely replaced by a new kiosk system. The plan will be reviewed by the city's Plan Commission when it meets Thursday, April 18, and later by the Common Council. If approved, it will then be sent out for engineering work and bids, Main Street Executive Director Sara Grover said. The plan needs to be approved quickly, Grover said, because We Energies expects to bury the utility lines before the peak summer tourist season. The rest of the plan would be implemented in fall, she said. Funding for the project would be handled by the city's tax incremental financing district. Grover said the plan has already inspired some other downtown property owners to look at ways to clean up and improve their parking lots — most notably, the lot between Port Washington State Bank and the Port Harbor Center, where a survey is being done to determine ownership and a consideration made to burying the power lines. Grover also updated the group on parking studies being conducted by the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission and Boston-based Nelson/Nygaard Consulting Associates. The SEWRPC study is being done for the city, while Main Street and the city's Business Improvement District commissioned the Nelson/Nygaard study. Grover said the two agencies will work together to maximize the results of their studies, with work expected to begin by the end of April. Nelson/Nygaard will hold a project kick-off meeting in late April, then meet with business and property owners to determine their needs, how they accommodate parking now and to hear of any future plans that might affect downtown parking. The firm will also develop a survey to be filled out by downtown customers and visitors when they visit shops, Grover said. The survey will ask, among other things, whether people are aware of parking options. At the same time, SEWRPC will collect parking data, such as traffic flow, and the number of cars in downtown lots on a daily basis. The agency will also look at how existing on and off-street parking is used. Nelson/Nygaard will then analyze its data and that collected by SEWRPC and make recommendations to Main Street and the city. SEWRPC will review these and create an implementation plan, Grover said, noting this should be completed by late fall.

Town of Port Washington voters on Tuesday gave a stamp of approval to the current Town Board, choosing the incumbent supervisors over two former Plan Commission members. Supervisors Mike Didier and Jim Rychtik garnered 257 and 225 votes, respectively, in Tuesday's balloting while challengers John Fieber and Terry Anewenter received 103 and 95 votes. Town Chairman Jim Melichar, Clerk Jenny Schlenvogt and Treasurer Mary Sampont were unopposed in their bids for a new term. Melichar received 328 votes, Schlenvogt 322 and Sampont 311. The resounding victory by the incumbent officials can be seen as an endorsement of the board's decisions over the past two years, Didier said.
"I guess we'll keep doing what we've been doing," he said. "I think it (the vote) has to do with the fact everything is getting done effectively and efficiently and the town taxes haven't gone up."
City voters elect two new aldermen Two new aldermen will take office in the City of Port Washington, where write-in candidate Kevin Rudser received about 50 votes to fill the Common Council's vacant 5th District seat. The Board of Canvass was expected on Wednesday to determine the exact number of votes Rudser received, City Administrator Mark Grams said, although there is no doubt he won the election. Only a couple other names were written on, each garnering a vote or two, he said. Ald. Joe Dean did not seek re-election for the 5th District seat. Bill Driscoll will be the city's 3rd District alderman, replacing outgoing Ald. Jim Vollmar. He received 214 votes Tuesday. Incumbent aldermen Mike Ehrlich and Dan Becker were unchallenged. Ehrlich received 264 votes and Becker 242. Three incumbents were also returned to the Port Washington-Saukville School Board. Jim Eden, who represents the Town of Grafton, received 1,918 votes. Jim Olsen and Kelly O'Connell-Perket, who represent the City of Port Washington, received 1,702 and 1,621 votes, respectively. All three incumbents were unopposed.
Town of Port Washington residents have a full slate of candidates from which to select town supervisors Tuesday. Incumbents Mike Didier and Jim Rychtik, who are completing their first term in office, are being challenged for their seats by Terry Anewenter and John Fieber, both former Plan Commission members. Running unopposed on Tuesday's ballot are Town Chairman Jim Melichar, Clerk Jenny Schlenvogt and Treasurer Mary Sampont. All of the candidates said they believe the town's decision to privatize much of its road work — including snowplowing, ditch cutting, some road construction and maintenance projects — rather than contract with Ozaukee County has proven to be a good one. Anewenter said, "You can't argue with the results this year. If it's truly saving money, you can't argue with it." "I was nervous initially," Didier said of the town's decision to privatize snowplowing. "But it's working well. We've had a lot of positive responses and only a few negatives. "At a minimum, we're getting the same amount of services for less money." "The private contractor seems to be a little more responsive," Fieber said. "In general, I think things have improved." Rychtik added, "I think we've gotten what we expected. I'm proud it's worked so well. In general, people seem happy." Rychtik, 42, of 4855 Hwy. B., said the board has made inroads during the past two years but there's still work to be done. "I think we've been a productive board," he said. "I think most people who have come before us have probably left happy. "We've worked to make government more transparent." Rychtik, owner of Rychtik Construction, said the board is working to get more public input on projects it considers, pointing to the recent public hearing on Green Bay Road. "Too often, what's lost in government is officials listening to the people," he said. "We want to listen to our residents." Rychtik, who said officials need to be open to development, suggested the town form a steering committee of residents to take a look at plans for the Knellsville area. "That way, when things start to happen we're going to be ready," he said. Fieber, a retired executive vice president at Kuttner North America, said he would like the town to look at ways to reinvigorate the Knellsville Business Park concept it championed several years ago. "We finished that up and the economy took a nose dive," he said. "I'd like to review that whole plan. Five years later, is there something we can do better? Looking at it optimistically, how can we market the area? Let's see what's available to us." When the economy picks up, he said, the freeway interchange is going to be a logical place for development to occur. Fieber said he would also like to see if the town can do more to upgrade its roads — a topic he said he's brought up numerous times. Didier, 39, of 4627 Hwy. KW, said he's spent the last two years learning how things work. "Now that I'm in the swing of things, I'm ready to tackle two more years," he said. "The past two years weren't what I expected." He thought budget issues would be the most difficult, Didier said, and land-use issues would be easier. The opposite proved to be true. "The land-use balance is challenging," said Didier, who is a real estate agent. "People do have the right to do things with their property, but many times that conflicts with the town's land-use plan. We have to walk a delicate line. It takes a lot of thought. "Budgeting is easy. If you don't have the money, you don't spend it." The town's decisions to privatize roadwork and take over the garbage and recycling operations have all helped the bottom line, Didier noted. The town isn't facing any major issues right now, he said, allowing officials to focus instead on day-to-day matters. Fieber, 64, of 3200 Northwoods Rd., said a seat on the Town Board would allow him to do more for the town than he could on the Plan Commission, particularly when it comes to setting policy and procedures. "With my engineering background and business experience, I think I can offer some help with planning and looking at the long-term picture," he said. "That's one of my strengths." Anewenter, 58, of 3693 Hwy. KK, said he wants to see the board reflect divergent viewpoints, adding it should become a more approachable body that works to help residents. Anewenter, a farmer who served on the Plan Commission for several years in the 1990s, described himself as a conservative candidate who will look out for town finances, saying he believes the Town Board spends too much money. "In these times, I think you have to watch your money," he said, adding he would not accept the $5,000 annual salary that comes with the position if elected. He pointed to a recent board decision to contribute $750 to fund the Ozaukee County Economic Development Corporation as an example, saying he believes the town could attract just as much development on its own. The estimated $200,000 cost to remove the Highland Road overpass at the Ozaukee Interurban Trail is too much, he added. And, he said, the $39,000 salary paid to Schlenvogt, a part-time clerk, is "outrageous." "It should be a source of great embarrassment," Anewenter said, noting teachers in the Milwaukee Public School System likely make a similar amount for a full-time job. "We're a small town."
A concept plan for a proposed picnic pavilion that would be placed on Port Washington's coal dock as a memorial to two recent drowning victims was approved Tuesday by the city's Design Review Board. The pavilion, planned by the Port Washington Waterfront Safety Advisory Committee, would stand as a memorial to those who drowned off the city's shores, including 15-year-old Tyler Buczek, who drowned off the city's north beach on Sept. 2, 2012, and 23-year-old Peter Dougherty, who drowned while kayaking on March 11, 2012. The octagon-shaped, open-air pavilion features a second floor lookout offering 360-degree views of the city and Lake Michigan that would be lit at night. The heavy timber and metal-roofed structure would be 30 feet in diameter and be built in a prominent position near the main parking area in Coal Dock Park. Architect Mike Ehrlich told the Design Review Board that the committee wanted to build something that wouldn't simply be a memorial but instead would be functional. Board member Jorgen Hansen asked how the memorial would be incorporated into the design, saying the two uses seem disparate. "I'm wondering how to separate the two activities," he said. "Intuitively, I don't think it (the memorial) should be right next to where people are sitting and eating lunch, laughing. "I like the whole concept. I'm just taken aback with how you can merge these two things so directly." Fire Chief Mark Mitchell, a member of the board, concurred, asking, "Is it going to grow with stuffed animals, plantings and other things left there on anniversaries?" "That's a legitimate concern," said Ehrlich, who told the committee the memorial aspect of the pavilion would take the form of a plaque that could be mounted to the structure or a sign hung or mounted nearby. Ehrlich said the memorial will be erected once the group has raised the estimated $90,000 needed to build it. Before construction begins, he said, he will seek final approval from the board. In other action, the board recommended approval for an expansion of the Yacht Club in Veterans Memorial Park. The roughly 600-square-foot addition to the east side of the building will provide additional meeting space for the club and a unisex, handicapped-accessible restroom. It will also allow the club to level off the floor of the building. Currently, there is a 6-inch difference in grade at that side of the building. Care was taken in designing the addition to ensure it fits in with the existing structure, club member Bill Driscoll said. "We want people to come in and say, 'I love this old building,' not 'What a nice remodeling job,'" he said. Plans for the memorial and the Yacht Club addition will be reviewed by the Plan Commission Thursday, March 21. Contributions to the Tyler Buczek Memorial Fund may be sent to Port Washington State Bank and earmarked for the pavilion.

It will be the last 'Welcome Aboard' I pen as Chief Executive of the Virgin Blue Airlines Group because I'm stepping down to commence a new, albeit less hectic, chapter in my life. I have mixed feelings about my time with Virgin Blue coming to an end. Indeed, I find it somewhat disconcerting to leave something that has totally consumed me for nearly two decades. Making the transition from my role of conducting multi-billion- dollar fleet acquisitions to being a 'house dad' will pose some interesting challenges for me, but more so, I reckon, for my wife, Zahra, and my boys, Ryan and Nic. The Virgin Blue journey is one I've been on right from the ver y beginning, when it was just an idea scrawled on the back of a beer coaster in the early 1990s. By some miracle, that idea, through the sheer dedication and hard work of many talented people, became a multi-award-winning airline group. There are few people in the world who will get to realise a dream of this magnitude in their lifetime and I know I'm one of the luckiest buggers on the planet to have been a part of the Virgin Blue stor y. It's this collective, unconditional family spirit and support that has propelled Virgin Blue towards the success it enjoys today. Like all families, there's been plenty of laughter, a few tear s and some great vocal matches, but when push comes to shove, we know where our loyalties lie and we've alw ays pulled together as one impenetrable force to ride out the stor m. My Virgin Blue family -- the people you speak with on the phone, see in our airports and on our aircr aft, and those you may never meet -- is the secret of our success. There are no words strong enough to relay my immense pride and gr atitude for everything they've achieved together over the year s. Each and every one of the team, past and present, has played an integral role in nurturing Virgin Blue through its tentative early years, shaping and growing the business with all the care and devotion of a doting parent. Our 'baby' is now truly of age and is well positioned to take on the challenges and oppor tunities of the next decade. No matter where I am in the world, I'll be watching the progress of Virgin Blue with interest, and I'm confident in handing over the reins (and long days and nights) to a ver y capable and passionate executive in John Borghetti. To you, our Guests, my extended Virgin Blue family across all four airlines, and industry friends from around the world, I extend my humble and heartfelt thanks for the ride of a lifetime. It has been a blast! Happy travels and please enjoy our company today. welcome aboard MAY

Backyard Ponds Make Fish Keeping Fun
35K Views
One of the greatest pleasures of installing a backyard pond is the fish. Pond fish and koi are colorful, friendly, fun to watch, and they'll eat right out of your hand! And if you live in Northern climes, they will over-winter in the pond provided it's at least 2 feet deep and you keep a hole in the ice.

Contributing Writer President Bush's proposal for an Office of Faith Based action can sound very appealing to those of us in religious circles. President Bush is right religious institutions have always been very effective in addressing the social needs of their communities. The thought of receiving government funds to augment the social outreach of a religious institution sends ones mind into fantasy overload. Oh, the good we could do with just a little more money. Just think of the shelters we could build, the job training programs we could operate, the education al programs we could offer. It is a very exciting concept…and a very seductive one.
Could the acceptance of federal funds be a deal with the devil for religious organizations? My intent here is not to cast negative aspersions upon our government, but there are some serious risks we take when we begin to blur the line of separation between church and state.
Consider the religious prophetic voice. Religious institutions have always been the source of the prophetic voice in our society. Forward thinking religious leaders have often been on the forefront of social change and action, calling into question governmental policies or actions that have been detrimental to the health and welfare of its citizenry.
Abolition, the Civil Rights movement and the Vietnam war are just a few examples. This prophetic voice plays an important role in the checks and balances built into our society. This voice is able to be heard precisely because of its independence from the government. It is quite possible that a religious institution relying upon governmental funds to serve people could feel constrained or even restricted from commenting on government policies for fear of losing funding.
This is a real fear. When the Unitarian Universalist's Beacon Press published the Pentagon Papers, the U.S. government launched an investigation challenging our nonprofit status as religious institution. The attempt failed, but not without considerable wear and tear on the organization.
If loss of a prophetic voice is problematic, it pales in importance when compare d to threatening our First Amendment rights. Many of my Universalist ancestors fought hard to end the government taxation that supported religious institutions, believing in their hearts that this country was founded on the freedom of religion. Isn't it ironic that centuries later modern society is seeking to undo the very principles which enabled us to build and maintain our rich religious diversity?
Will It Discriminate?
Under President Bush's plan, I worry that an atheist or member of a minority religion in need of a particular service will be unable to find adequate care without being subjected to proselytizing. The President's plan calls for the equivalent secular services offered along side the religious government funded programs. Yet, I wonder how equal the services will be with government funds.
Having worked in nonprofit social services agencies for over 20 years and being the recipient of grants, I know from the inside what a difference such funding can make.
I also know how such grants are used to build up the infrastructure of the recipient organization. I wonder if this program will ultimately discriminate against the non-religious and minority religions in ways we can't even begin to understand.
I wonder what checks and balances will be in place to assure that recipient religious institutions are not using their funds to actively promote and support their individual belief system over and above others.
It is very easy as a religious leader to be seduced into accepting government support for social service programs. There are always more social needs than funds available to address them. Yet, grave risks are associated with this program.
Growing up in this country I learned that we as a people have a moral responsibility to care for those who are less fortunate. I also learned that our government's purpose was to serve the people.
Yet I can't help but feel that this plan in some way represents an abdication of our government's responsibility for those who are at the lower end of the economic and social strata.
This program is terribly flawed, for it not only compromises the independent voice of the faith based institutions, it also may violate the First Amendment rights of the recipients. Perhaps there is a better way.

text: My father & I stayed here this past Saturday night for the NYS Fair. From the reviews I wasn't sure what we would be getting ourselves into, but were willing to try it as all the other hotels wanted $120 more, and we only needed a place to sleep and take a shower. We were very pleased with our stay and especially the price for a Saturday night during the fair, $99. The motel is older but our room was very clean and comfortable and the employees were all very nice. After the fair we came back and stopped at the bar for a couple drinks(it was quiet, for a Saturday night unlike other reviews on here). The bartender was very nice and personable. I plan on going again next year to the fair and will be staying here again for the price and cleanliness you can't be it. It is far away from the city, but when going to the state fairgrounds it is the perfect drive less then 10 minutes down the road(wouldn't recommend walking). On a side note which has nothing to do with the hotel but the fair.. we went to the fair sat morning then about 1pm went back to the motel for a few hours to rest went back to the fair at dinner time and had to pay the parking fee again at the fair.

Rome (AFP) April 09, 2014
Italy said Wednesday that 4,000 immigrants have reached its shores by boat in the past two days -- the highest number since it launched a naval operation to rescue them in the wake of two shipwrecks last year.
"The landings are non-stop and the emergency is increasingly glaring," Interior Minister Angelino Alfano told Rai Uno public radio.
"Right now two merchant ships are rescuing two boats with 300 and 361 people aboard. It appears there's at least one corpse on board," he said.
Alfano estimated that 15,000 migrants crossing the Mediterranean had been rescued so far this year and said up to 600,000 migrants from Africa and the Middle East were ready to set off from Libyan shores.
"Europe must take the situation in hand. It cannot say that, having given 80 million euros ($110 million) to Frontex, the problem has been resolved," he said, referring to the European Union's border control agency.
"There are death merchants who profit from this people trafficking and who send out requests for help just 30 to 40 miles after leaving the Libyan coasts," he said.
Italy reported a 60-percent increase in asylum claims last year -- mainly people fleeing the war in Syria -- although numbers of arrivals are still lower than in the wake of the Arab Spring revolts in 2011.
The latest increase comes just ahead of European Parliament elections next month and lawmakers from the anti-immigration Northern League -- a small opposition party -- were quick to weigh in on the issue.
Davide Caparini and Nicola Molteni released a statement urging Alfano to stop the arrivals "by turning them back" and complained that asylum-seekers receive better treatment "than any Italian citizen".
But Silvia Canciani, a spokeswoman for the Association for Legal Studies on Immigration (ASGI), played down the scale of the new influx.
"The number of people arriving is increasing but it is only becoming an emergency because of the bad management of Italy's asylum system," she said.
She said the new arrivals would likely be taken to private accommodation such as hotels "because there is no more space" in Italy's asylum and immigration centres, warning vulnerable migrants such as minors risked not receiving the care they needed.
"This is very similar to the North Africa emergency in 2011. The Italian government is repeating the same mistakes," she said.
- Activist criticism -
The navy said it had rescued around 2,500 migrants of the 4,000 arrivals and that others were being intercepted by merchant ships and coast guard vessels.
"This is the highest number we have had over a 48-hour period since Mare Nostrum began," a navy spokesperson told AFP.
Italy began its naval operation "Mare Nostrum" (Our Sea) -- a Latin reference to the Mediterranean -- after more than 400 migrants from Eritrea and Syria perished in twin tragedies off Italian shores in October 2013.
Five navy ships are currently operating in the region south of the tiny Italian island of Lampedusa, which has become one of the biggest gateways for irregular migration into the European Union.
The navy said it has fed and carried out health checks on board its ships for the new arrivals, who will be taken to the ports of Augusta and Pozzallo in Sicily later on Wednesday.
The navy also said it had begun identity checks with police on board.
"Some have documents, others do not. We are still trying to ascertain the countries of origin," the spokesperson said.
But campaigners have criticised these types of checks, saying migrants may not be fully informed of their right to ask for asylum on board the navy vessels.
"The rules for identification at sea are not very clear. It should be done on land," Canciani said.

text: A rendered image of what is believed to be the new version of the Google Nexus 10 has been revealed online. In addition, stock issues of the current model also indicate a launch might not be far away.First up, the image of what has been a fairly low key product so far. In fact, this is the first decent image we have seen of it. In fact, we don't even know who is making it. Although we're pretty sure it is no longer Samsung and would guess it is likely to be Asus.From what we can see (and if the image is genuine), the shape is slightly more square and the bezel much thinner, but the image doesn't give us much more detail. As for what it does, previous rumours have pointed to a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor instead of the dual-core Samsung Exynos silicon powering the current model. Resolution of the screen would match the 2560 x 1600 seen on the Nexus 10 and we guess that Android 4.4 would be pre-installed on the slate as long as it has launched.As for the launch, well with so little information, we half expected it to drift into 2014. But with the 16GB of the current Nexus 10 showing as out of stock at the Google Play store, it could be much sooner. Stock clearances tend to point to new stock when it comes to Google hardware. So there is every chance that the Nexus 10 could join the Nexus 5 smartphone as a launch in a matter of days.Fingers crossed.Source: Phone Arena

Days after his birthday, the young driver revealed this week that he had been diagnosed with a brain tumor during a doctor visit for a spinal disc condition.
The now 20-year-old had just celebrated his birthday on June 26th before his racing team released a statement to the media regarding his diagnosis and upcoming surgery.
According to FOX Sports, XFINITY Series and Camping World Truck Series driver, Matt Tifft, announced that he will be undergoing a surgical removal of a tumor discovered in his brain by doctors during a recent exam.
The tumor, called a "low-grade giloma" is a specific type of tumor that begins in the brain or spine and is formed from "gilal cells". They are most commonly found in the brain, and comprise approximately 80% of all diagnosed malignant brain tumors.
A "low-grade" giloma mostly exhibits benign tendencies and have a much better prognosis for the patient.
Tifft is expected to have the surgery performed and complete a rehabilitation regimen very shortly, returning to the track once physicians sign off on clearance.
During this Friday's XFINITY race in Daytona, David Ragan will drive the No. 18 Surface Sunscreen car in his place.
Watch the video below of one of his races last year when he spun out and then tangled with another driver.

It doesn't take much film study to see why Cincinnati (Ohio) Colerain defensive back Eugene Clifford is one of the top five prospects in the Buckeye state. So it's no wonder he has received calls from among others, Ohio State, Michigan, and Tennessee. Buckeye coach Jim Tressel was in Cincinnati earlier this week to check on Clifford.
"Coach Tressel came to my school (Monday)," Clifford said. "I shook hands with him."
Tressel of course is not the only coach that has stopped by Colerain.
"Michigan, Michigan State, Purdue, Tennessee, Minnesota, Boston College and a couple others have been to my school," Clifford said. "I'm interested in all of them."
Clifford said all of the schools he mentioned have offered a scholarship, and many have called.
"I've had calls from Ohio State, Michigan, Tennessee -- there's more too," Clifford said.
Don't be surprised if Clifford's decision will come down to the Wolverines or the Buckeyes, and he will visit both in June.
"I'm going to Michigan and Ohio State's camps," Clifford said.
However it doesn't appear Clifford will soon commit to either one, or anyone else for that matter.
"I'm not sure when I'll decide," he said. "I'm not close. I'll probably take official visits."
The 6-foot-2 and 190-pound Clifford was a starter on Colerain's 15-0 state championship team his sophomore year. Clifford made 146 tackles and intercepted six passes during an 11-2 junior season.

Dear Molly,
Happy December! I was looking to get your advice on something. Yesterday, I was offered a new job at a different company, which I'm excited about and is something I've wanted to do for a while . My current company has been good to me—not amazing, but a good company to work for. I need to put in two weeks notice , as well as let everyone in the office know I'm leaving, but I've never gone through this before and I'm not sure how to handle it. Any advice?
Would love your input,
Hi H,
Congrats on the new job! This is an exciting time, especially because this change is something you wanted.
Letting your current boss and co-workers know you're leaving can be tough, but if you handle the situation gracefully and respectfully, they'll likely be happy for your new opportunity. Here are the steps you should take.
Tell Your Boss First
Even if you're close with your other co-workers, you must tell your boss first. Others at work might know you were interviewing, especially if they were your references , but the professional thing to do is to tell your boss first, in-person.
It is nerve-wracking to have this conversation, but keep the tone simple, complimentary, and professional. Depending on your relationship with your boss, either set up time on the calendar or pop into his or her office. Close the door to keep the meeting private, and after some brief small talk, have your one sentence ready: "I've so enjoyed working with you here, but another opportunity has presented itself and I've made a decision to move on." He or she might ask you if you are interested in a counter offer, so decide before the meeting whether that's something you might entertain. Also, have the date in mind for your last day (two weeks from when you put in your notice is customary), so you can provide it when asked.
End the meeting by thanking your boss for his or her guidance and time. I also always advocate shaking hands, regardless of how informal the office culture is. Figure out next steps (talking to HR? telling the team or clients?), and bring a letter of resignation with you to give to the appropriate party, usually either HR or your boss. Keep the letter brief and professional: A simple Google search of resignation letter examples should give you guidelines of how to format the letter.
Tell Close Co-workers and Mentors PersonallyOnce you've met with your boss, you'll want to tell your work friends, special co-workers, and mentors yourself, ideally face-to-face. You don't want someone who has been influential or important in your growth to hear through the office grapevine that you're leaving—these relationships will likely transcend your current employment, and you want to preserve them even as you move on to your next position. After that, you can tell other people as you see them.
Have a Transition PlanSpend the next two weeks planning for your departure and tying up loose ends. Work on a plan to lay out your responsibilities and provide suggestions for others who could assume these tasks once you're gone. This will help your current boss to start the reassignment process, plus give you time to train others on your responsibilities. If it's appropriate, offer to help find your replacement or write your job description. Basically, be as helpful as possible. You can also offer to be available for questions via email after you leave if anything comes up, giving your current team reassurance you won't leave them in a bind.
Have a Story for Why You Are LeavingOnce you put in your notice, be prepared to be asked by almost everyone, "Why are you leaving?" or "Where are you going?" So have a story prepared—something to the effect of "I have so enjoyed my time here, but this opportunity presented itself and will allow me to grow my skills in a new way" will help you paint your decision in a positive light.
Say Nice ThingsFinally, remember that this is not the time to share war stories of working at your current company or to loudly proclaim "This is what I won't miss!" when something's going wrong. While you are leaving, everyone else is staying—and these are people you'll likely cross paths with someday, especially if you work in a small industry. Remember to tell everyone how much you enjoyed working with them and how you hope to keep in touch in the future. And then do! Make sure to add your colleagues on LinkedIn or save their contact info before you go.
Hope that helps! Congrats again on your new position!
xoxo, Molly
