In 1976, educator, musician, and kinesiologist Robin Wes longed for a children's gym that prioritized personal growth over competition. Unveiled at a time when physical-education classes pushed students to focus almost exclusively on winning, Robin's program was swiftly adopted and is now used in more than 300 Little Gyms worldwide. Robin still pens original music to accompany lessons, which engage whippersnappers aged 4 months to 12 years with gymnastics, dance, karate, and parent and child activities.
Each of The Little Gym's classes introduces simple movements that sharpen motor skills and set brains whirring, allowing kids to progress at their own pace until they can finally build a computer out of macaroni and glitter. Staff members strive to build a base for lifelong social skills and self-assurance with each exercise, including activities rooted purely in fun, such as summer camps or birthday parties, which helped The Little Gym to earn title of #1 Birthday Chain in Parents Magazine.
Founder Dori Duncan and a talented team of glamour aficionados teach classes for adults and children at Camp Fashionista. Weekend workshops include an Introduction to Sewing class for adults and children ages 8 and older that builds sewing-machine aptitude as students use a zipper and cotton fabric brought from home to construct a pouch they can then fill with notes, candies, or counterfeit Dutch guilders. The Little Fashionistas class guides students ages 6 and older on a course toward whipstitches, precision-snipped pattern pieces, and their very own hand-sewn apple pincushions. With cotton fabric in hand, students may create shoulder-slung book pouches during a Messenger Bag course, or they can add dazzle and street cred to old foot tubes during Bling Your Socks.
In 98point6 Yoga's eco-conscious studio, a team of certified yoga instructors lead 60- and 90-minute yoga classes seven days a week. Yogis of all abilities can enter the 98.6-degree atmosphere designed to melt muscles into deep, healing stretches, evict toxins, and increase empathy for sun-dwellers. One-hour classes consisting of both static poses and meditative flow sequences help busy pupils maintain regular practice, while body benders in the 90-minute sweat session focus on performing 26 postures with proper alignment and depth and improving strength and stamina. The studio requests that pupils rent, bring, or spontaneously create a yoga mat and bath towel, though before reentering the outside world, students can take advantage of the facility's environmentally friendly low-flow showers.
First Class Sedan's prompt and professional drivers helm the wheels of plush stretch limos, Town Cars, and luxury SUVs while passengers sink into the well-manicured backseats. Servicing both business and leisure needs, chauffeurs transport customers to the airport or a business meeting, parade bachelorette parties across town, and lead groups on tours through the wine valleys of Napa or the landmarks of San Francisco.
Sick of buying expensive supplies and having to adhere to a class schedule just to create art, Jennifer Kurtz Rubin started the first of her chain of ceramic lounges in 1993. Each Petroglyph Ceramic Lounge is designed as a social and creative space, one that all customers can use to express themselves artistically while catching up with friends. The lounge throws open its doors for both kids and adults to decorate clay bisque pieces, such as mugs and salad bowls, with a bounty of colorful supplies, never worrying about cleanup afterward. Once they're complete, the art pieces are glazed, fired, and ready for pickup in a few days. And because artists can stay for a whole afternoon or just 30 minutes, the lounge even grants a few moments of creativity to patrons with the busiest schedules. The company also goes beyond casual art making to host parties for kids and adults, in which they can bring in live music, serve food, and train scoops of ice cream to paint their own bowls.
Winchester Mystery House is an imposing Victorian mansion built by Winchester Rifle heiress Sarah Winchester. The house's floor plan is a study in eccentricity, boasting details including twisting hallways, secret passages, and stairways that lead nowhere. Sarah Winchester built her profoundly odd home in an effort to drive away bad spirits, including that of her late husband, whom she believed cursed her upon his death. While Sarah compulsively remodeled the house until her death in 1922, historians estimate there must have been between 500 and 600 rooms built in total. Due to the extensive remodeling and the ravages of time, only 160 rooms remain—though, by any standard, the house remains a sprawling homage to Sarah Winchester's tormented mind.
Today, visitors make their pilgrimage to the house to witness in person all its peculiar glory. The home is lovingly restored and now plays host to a number of fun, bone-chilling excursions each day. Thrill seekers can stalk through the halls by flashlight during guided tours that divulge the sordid details of Sarah Winchester's nightly séances. History buffs can explore rooms dedicated to period furniture, antique trinkets, and vintage firearms found in the home. A gift shop and café onsite give guests the opportunity to purchase souvenirs, some more edible than others.

Rep. McCarthy Accuses Democrats of Attempting to 'Topple the Entire Economy'
If it's Sunday, it's another episode of Dancin' David Gregory inviting Republicans to come on his show and rattle off their talking points without fear of contradiction. Karl Rove's dance partner allowed House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy to attribute a very famous statement by Dick Cheney's (that "deficits don't matter") to President Obama! He also said that Democrats are the ones responsible for racking up the majority of the debt we've been dealing with ever since President Obama took the oath of office.
We've been through this here so many times I've lost count, but for anyone who hasn't already seen these charts, President Obama is not the one responsible for the policies that added to most of the deficit during his first term in office.
And pardon me if I'm sick to death of the party that brought us two wars left off the books and the theft of God knows how many of our tax dollars with those debacles, a prescription drug plan that wasn't paid for, the Bush tax cuts, the bailout of the Wall Street gamblers that took down our economy, having the damn nerve to complain about our debt and deficit.
Gregory couldn't be bothered to point out that not only is our deficit shrinking considerably under President Obama, but it's also shrinking at the fastest pace in modern American history.

The Baldwin Boettcher Mystery Book Club will be gathering books about female main characters. Is she a detective? Private eye? Caterer? Chef? How does she solve her cases? Come join us on August 22nd at 2 pm. We will try to find something that everyone likes and then share the ones we like best. See you on the 22nd.
Just to let you know the end of Summer Reading is coming soon. In two weeks, Aug 11th, summer reading will be the last day of summer reading. If you have not turned in your list of 10+ books, now is the time to do so. We would love to present your 2012 Summer Reading Certificate to you. Yes, we still have some really neat books for you to look over and choose one. Remember you only get a book for the first 10. At 25 books you will get a certificate from the library and another bookmark. Then at 50 books you will receive a ribbon and a magnifying glass while supplies last. So "Get a Clue at your library" and finish up the summer by getting your certificate to show your family, teachers and others that you read 10 books over the summer.
Hope to see you at Baldwin Boettcher soon to take advantage of this great offer.
The staff at the Baldwin Boettcher Library has been rearranging shelving, furniture and library items. We are trying to remove the dust that is lingering on the shelving.

We hope to have all the cleaning and arranging done by our Holiday open house on December 8th.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. The Library staff at Baldwin Boettcher.
Join us on Monday, August 6, 6:30 pm, for our final discussion of Anna Karenina, the Russian classic by Leo Tolstoy. We'll talk about the entire novel and its several film versions. Summary from library catalog: Regarded by many as the greatest novel ever written in any language, Anna Karenina relates the doomed love affair between the sensuous and rebellious Anna and the dashing officer Count Vronsky. Set against a vast and richly textured canvas of nineteenth-century Russia, Anna's tragedy unfolds with relentless force as she rejects her passionless marriage to the aging official Karenin and must endure the hypocrisies of society.
For the month of June, Baldwin Boettcher Library had numerous fingerprints located all over the library. Customers had a chance to walk around, count the fingerprints and turn in their best guess as to how many fingerprints they found. Our winner for the June Program was Alistair D'Camp. He is six years old and really enjoyed receiving his prize.
Thanks to all the other participants who gave us their best guess.

Contains 13% LCA Complex (12% Lactic Compound + 1% MFAS) in a gentle, light lathering cleanser that gently exfoliates the skin, leaving skin soft, soothed and radiant. Gently removes makeup and daily residue. Ideal for all skin types including the most sensitive. pH 4.4
How does it work?Advanced AHA works by improving skin health and fitness through internal moisturization of the skin (by inducing the skin to make more moisture retention compounds) and by improving skin exfoliation. Both skin moisturization and exfoliation decrease with the natural aging of skin. Improved skin moisturization and exfoliation leads to "normalized" skin function and better skin health and return the skin to more youthful healthy appearance. How is it Unique? It's the only AHA brand in the market based on LCA Complex, a unique combination of lactic acid, the cell signal AHA natural to the human body, and multiple essential skin antioxidant vitamins - A, C, E & Pro-A in a self-regenerating complex - all vital to proper skin cell renewal rates.

Sumomomo Momomo, Vol. 11
written by Shinobu Ohtaka
Treachery is afoot in this latest volume of Sumomomo Momomo. The plot to kill the Dragon and the Dog is in its final stages of preparation, and the young heroes are scrambling to undermine the nefarious plot of the nine rebellious clans.
For months, Iroha Miyamoto of the Snake Clan has been working to rebuild her clan, but once again, the conniving Tenten Koganei is still a step ahead of her. Everyone is putting their plans into action to ignite a great war, and there seems little that can be done to prevent it, unless of course Koushi succeeds in his training in the Koganei Village Wall Lap Survival Training Zone. In order to do that, he'll have to overcome the giant tiger that rules the jungle he has been cast into. Good thing he has the jungle's ape population to support him.
Even after Koushi's training ends, he needs to learn to harness his Shikago abilities, which can disable a martial artist's abilities and render them powerless. The only problem is, if he does, then that could leave Tenga completely helpless when Yuusuke Endo of the Monkey Clan is pitted against him in a final showdown. In the final stage of the plan, Yuusuke and Koushi are set to fight in a giant stadium in front of both armies screaming for Koushi's death. Koushi has grown strong in these past days under Tenga's tutelage, but will he survive the strongest candidate for leader the Eastern Army can produce?
Shinobu Ohtaka knows how to make tensions run as high as they can go and then push them even further, like a seasoned martial artist always training to push his/her limits. The amazing manga isn't over yet, but it feels like it could end at any given moment.

Borrowed Identity vs. Multidisplinarity in Craft
#pdsnews #SNAG
Question from the crowd:
"How do you resolve the contradiction between the impermeable facts of production vs the fluid situation in the market today"
"Ask not so much what is someone doing for a living, but what are they doing right now"
"Just think about Amazon or anything that has to move things around in space… I suppose that art...
"I just want to agree with you that the core historical work is very valuable and another hat that I wear"
"I'm not really a great historian in the metal field, more in the furniture realm"
"I do think it's absolutely crucial to do that work" (explore the core concepts of craft)
Craft in the earlier discussion
Question from the crowd:
"How do you address the side-stepping of the core ideas and framework behind craft in your earlier talk?"
"Part of the reason I tend to go for these sorts of things… is that something that feels explicable or clear is not often as big of a draw as those ideas at the fringes"
"There is a good question about whether or...
Assigning Value
Question from the crowd:
"When determining value (particularly when relying on others as strategic partners), how do you value that partnership in the marketplace?" - with regards to the Damian Hirst skull piece & outsourcing the work
"I didn't want to seem like I was tisking the Hirst example… More that it's perplexing rather than wrong"
Fine artists in the earlier presentation
Question from the crowd:
"Why did you choose examples from the fine art world in your earlier talk to talk to people who likely know more about craft than any of those artists?"
"To me it's not so much how much you know, but what you do with what you know"
"I can't seem to bring myself to do it" (stop talking about art)
"They may...
Question from the crowd:
"How to you address hiding the process (such as outsourcing to china or the impact on the environment)"
"Outside of human affairs only in the sense that it's finite" - on ethical metalsmithing and the effect on the environment
"How can you stop the damage, fast"
"It's impossible to summarize quickly…...
Narrative of the work
From Harriete Estel Berman:
"Do you always have a narrative worked out before you start your work?"
"I almost always understand the work once I step back from it, rather than when I'm going into it."
"I respond to a material… The story starts to tell itself"
"I am an incredibly intuitive maker"

McGann portrayed the eighth incarnation of The Doctor in a 1996 television movie and a series of spinoff audio adventures. The Sun claimed that he will reprise the role in a 2009 special written by Russell T. Davies.
The article stated that he is "expected to begin filming in October or November" and will shoot scenes set during the Time War, an event that is key to the current mythology of the revived series.
However, a spokeswoman for the show told Digital Spy: "There is no truth to the story at all."

I am a writer and visual artist, inveterate blogger, community activist and long time Houstonian. Invariably find myself at the intersection of public service and creative endeavor and I am happiest when the two merge. I like my life and the things in which I am engaged. However, I am continuously outraged by what is happening right now in our country. Women, healthcare, immigration and education are all under assault. Seems to me a lot of folks aren't looking out for the common good. I take great issue with the mean spiritedness and shortsightedness of so many in Congress and the Texas legislature. As a grandmother of four, I must ask, "What kind of world are we creating for for these bright, brave little people?" Do we care? Currently serve as civic art consultant for a City of Houston building project and it's my task to work with artists as they create new work for this facility that reflects Houston's energy and cultural diversity. I also write. A lot. Just finished a piece that will be published in fall 2011 in a collection of memoirs by women living life's transitions.
No coincidence that women's healthcare and environmental regulations are both under siege.

Creating Displays
An attractive booth, stall or store is what excites shoppers' attention. It is a fun and critical part of any selling success. Featured here are several ideas on how I incorporate my vintage finds to create visually intriguing displays.
Vintage frames stacked in interesting ways create an intriguing display piece to show finished jewelry samples.
Small glass dishes and ephemera dress up any display. Attach finished pieces to old photographs as an easy way for customers to pick up and view jewelry.
Nunn Design has several displays that evoke that Old World look.
Create a common theme to show your items, giving your display an overall consistency and feel. Keep it simple so that customers focus on your jewelry.
Finding props that have a similar color palette and feel will give your display interest. If your pieces are more modern, choose items that reflect that.
Find unique baskets to display products instead of lining them up in neat rows. Set baskets at differing heights using old books or magazines make the tableau even more fascinating.
Drape necklaces over old shoe forms and wooden spools to create a vintage ambiance. Again, keeping your themes consistent in color and style will make the display easier on the eye. It is the jewelry you want the consumer to see!
Old bottles and dishes make wonderful display tools for rings.

mojoPortal Tips: Managing Content Workflow, Part I
Last Updated on Sunday, 27 November 2011 01:50 Written by Carole Bennett Sunday, 27 November 2011 12:00
In any organization consisting of more than one person, there is a natural tendency to delegate based on available time, energy and talent for any given task. In this day and age, content creation tends to be quite high on that list. Fresh content in your website ensures better SEO optimization, and gives your customers a reason to come back to your site more frequently.
However, there is a caveat to this; is it *good* content? Is it well-written, easy to read? Spelling, grammar, punctuation? Yes, even in this 140-character age, all those factors are critical in communication of your branding value. Example: your sales manager may be a brilliant verbal communicator, and an absolute genius in creating content that will draw in potential buyers – but she can't spell her way out of a paper bag. Or perhaps he has only a passing familiarity with proper grammar and punctuation.
Well, that's what your admin staff is for, right? That's where we get into workflow, and touching on how to get content from the generator, to the editor, and to the web for your site visitors to read.
Learn MoremojoPortal: Latest News Roundup
Last Updated on Thursday, 10 November 2011 07:14 Written by Carole Bennett Saturday, 12 November 2011 06:14
There's been some really terrific developments in the world of mojoPortal this past month; here's a rundown on the latest.
1) Form Wizard Pro 126.96.36.199 was released this month; the biggest update is the ability to use aliases for question values and questions. This allows for improved data optimization when capturing responses via form to be imported into databases from .csv or .xls outputs, while maintaining readability.
Example: Location IDs may be a GUID string in the database, but location customers will be more likely to understand "123 Main St." than "8f40a6e6-bd34-497b-94ee-6317ae273947″ – you can see how being able to use a "human-friendly" label for the response option will ensure higher form completion levels.
mojoPortal users taking advantage of Form Wizard Pro for the first time will appreciate i7media's article on Form Wizard Pro templates. Accompanying the article are two sample forms to get you started, along with step-by-step explanations on how to import the sample forms.
October was the first month for IndigoTea's Free mojoPortal Skin of the Month; in honor of the Halloween holiday, an extra Halloween-themed skin was also made available. The IndigoTea site, as well as the client site Appraising In Delaware, were also featured on the mojoPortal.com site.
Shaun Geisert has come up with a nifty time-saver for automating mojoPortal upgrades using Windows Powershell; you can find step-by-step instructions on the Colorado State University site.
One of the most interesting developments for mojoPortal this month has been on the Windows Web App Gallery; mojoPortal is not only one of the featured application downloads, but also the highest-rated application.

Learn MoreWebMatrix 2 beta – First Impressions
Last Updated on Sunday, 2 October 2011 11:23 Written by Ian McIntosh Tuesday, 4 October 2011 12:00
I surprised myself by becoming quite a fan of WebMatrix, so I was keen to give the new WebMatrix2 beta a go and see how it shapes up.
I've found WebMatrix very easy to use and surprisingly robust. It gave me a very easy way to install and run my CMS websites locally and then to publish them, and also to resync my local environment to the published one. In particular note it allows publishing of an SQL database with just a tick of a box (once the connection string has been entered).
MojoPortal: Adding a Poll

This article follows on from the previous article in the series.
In this article, I am going to use the built in poll module to set up a couple of polls to canvas customer views.
I start by signing in as Admin, going to the page I want to add the poll to and selecting to edit the page.
MojoPortal: Using the Contact Form for a Support Page
Last Updated on Wednesday, 14 September 2011 01:00 Written by Ian McIntosh Monday, 26 September 2011 12:59
This article follows on from the previous article in the series.
One of the things my customers tell me is useful is my adding a support page to their website so they can easily log any problems or questions they have with me. I create a page that is not visible to visitors of the website, it is only visible to the website administrator(s). The page has a form that will automatically send me an email, without them even having to remember my email address. WithMojoPortal this is really easy to do.

By Emily Sinsabaugh, Ph.D.
Last year alone, Walt Disney Company's "Disney VoluntEARS" dedicated their time and talents to improve their communities around the world with more than 495,000 hours of volunteer service.
Given the unemployment rate in the U.S., Starbucks recently announced its "Create Jobs for USA" program to support small businesses and underserved communities. The company donated $5 million and is raising funds by selling $5 patriotic wristbands branded "indivisible."
Apple requires suppliers to commit to a Supplier Code of Conduct as a condition of doing business with the corporation. JCPenney has facilitated contributions of more than $100 million to leading youth organizations such as the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, The Y, National 4-H, and FIRST® robotics.
Corporate initiatives such as these are part of a company's corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategy. From its roots in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the CSR movement has evolved from that of mere PR tactics or writing checks because it's "the right thing to do" to a business strategy of many of the world's most successful and profitable corporations.
According to Edmund Burke, founder of the Center for Corporate Citizenship, "Involvement of companies in communities has shifted in response to changing community expectations from checkbook philanthropy to a principle about the way a company should behave in a community."
This aptly describes the CSR commitment of Marriott International, Inc.
"We're looking continually at how to apply the CSR lens to our business decisions, to help address social and environmental issues within our core business," explained St. Bonaventure University alumna Mari L. Snyder, '90, who heads the CSR team for Marriott, which has been recognized among the nation's Top 50 Most Socially Responsible Companies*.
"Our company's financial sustainability is interconnected with the sustainability of the communities we operate in and the people we serve."
CSR is related to how a company does business, how it incorporates social and environmental values into its business operations.
This strategy helps a company identify business opportunities, minimize risk, innovate, build its reputation, establish brand preference, and engage its stakeholders, including customers, partners, investors, suppliers, and employees (who Marriott calls "associates").
"It's truly leadership by influence across these populations," said Snyder, who was named Marriott's vice president for Social Responsibility and Community Engagement in 2007.
"Our CSR work has deep roots; Bill Marriott's father hired a doctor for his employees when he and his wife first started the company in the late '20s. The Marriotts saw the value of CSR long before we had 3,700 hotels in 70 countries," she said.
Linked to the bottom line
Demonstrating outcomes and creating shareholder value are keys to any good business strategy, but communication is also critically important. Snyder reflected on a recent experience where the CSR initiatives sealed a $12 million contract for Marriott.
"We were competing with seven major companies, and it came down to Marriott and another U.S.-based competitor. Our sales account manager, knowing this client's commitment to the environment, community development and social concerns, conveyed our CSR goals and results. And, that was the differentiating — and deciding — factor. I'm proud of that sale for two reasons — it demonstrates that this business strategy can generate revenue and increase market share, but it also shows that CSR is embedded across the corporation, so that my colleague in sales knew that it would help close the deal."
CSR is often associated with a company's sustainability efforts.
"The environment has been the 'center plate' of CSR for the past several years, and it's where we've focused our metrics work. For example, we set a goal to build more sustainably certified hotels and to achieve a 25 percent reduction in energy and water consumption within 10 years. We wanted to go beyond our hotel doors, to have a broader impact so we started a portfolio of projects to help address the world's most pressing environmental issues," Snyder said.
This includes an investment of $500,000 in fresh water in China and $2 million in Amazon rainforest preservation.
Other CSR components include Marriott's associate volunteerism, in-kind contributions, disaster relief, supply chain ethics and standards, and economic development.
This coming year, Marriott will build its first hotel in Haiti. This was one of the first projects where the Marriott team worked to connect hotel developers with investors — including a development bank and an NGO (nongovernmental organization) — on a project that would invest in and bring jobs to Haiti and aid in its long-term recovery.
"This work is so meaningful to me. I'm grateful that I can put my Franciscan values into action each and every day in my role, and I've come to see the unique role a travel and tourism company has," said Snyder. "We at Marriott can be the means by which our guests and associates experience, learn about, and have a meaningful impact on people in communities around the world."
A healthier planet to travel, live and work
CSR is on the front end of some of Marriott's market expansion efforts. What excites Snyder is the idea of economic development in developing countries where Marriott does not yet have a presence.
"For example, we are entering sub-Saharan Africa," she explained. "It's a whole new space to identify a business and community need, such as educating young women in hospitality management. We are developing the partnership with an NGO, setting metrics, and will ensure that local communities are involved."
As a high-volume employer, Marriott, along with other corporations in the travel and tourism industry, can be economic engines in the communities in which they do business.
"The number of people who work today globally in the travel and tourism industry would compose the fourth-largest country in the world. For our part, we create value in the marketplace: Employees have a career path, investors have a good return from a company that has values, and communities are benefiting from a company that is actively strengthening and investing in it," she said.
"Ultimately, we are focused on making this a healthier planet to travel, to live and to work. So, with that as a goal, our work is about creating sustainable economic development and prosperity, and what it takes to get there."

Art Gallery
The ground floor of the Windgate Visual Arts West building houses a huge gallery room, capable of hosting a variety of shows. The lighting is perfect and the open space creates a great environment for receptions held at the opening of all new galleries (always including great food!). John Brown University has a wide variety of amazing artists in the upcoming gallery shows, and has hosted prominent shows such as Tim Ernst, the St. John's Bible, and Makoto Fujimura. The gallery also hosts many of John Brown University's finest local artists, faculty, and students. The gallery is open Monday-Friday, 8-4 and Sundays, 2-4.We also have added a Student Gallery in our second building: Windgate Visual Arts East (right next door). This will feature the work of JBU students in solo and collaborative shows.
Current Exhibit:
The John Brown University Department of Visual Arts invites you to our current exhibits:
Society of Illustrators: "Celebrating the Fine Art of Children's Book Illustration" AND "Through a Child's Eyes" - Collaborative work between 2nd Graders and JBU Illustration Students
Gallery Opening, Tuesday, April 2
Length of Exhibit: April 2 - April 30
Join us for TWO amazing exhibits. The Society of Illustrators exhibit in the main gallery of Windgate Visual Arts West features 40 pieces of extraordinary award winning illustrations from current children's books. Charles Peer, JBU Gallery Director: "I am very excited that we will be able to show the 40 pieces of original artwork along with an available reading nook, so visitors can have a seat and peruse through all of the books that were the end results of the artists' work."
In the halls of the same building we are featuring "Through a Child's Eye" showing a collaboration between Allen Elementary 2nd graders and JBU students in a Drawing 2 class. Mrs. Lori Clark's class made their own drawings and then the JBU students recreated those same drawings in fascinating pictures. JBU Professor Joel Armstrong stated, "this was our students favorite project this year and they thoroughly enjoyed reproducing the 2nd graders art as well as reminding themselves of their own creativity as a child."

Wisconsin Humane Society Assists Animal Victims of Cudahy Fire
South Milwaukee – The Wisconsin Humane Society will be making a delivery of supplies to help companion animals displaced by the Patrick Cudahy plant fire. Displaced families have arrived at South Milwaukee High School thankfully with animals in tow, but much-needed supplies have been left behind. Approximately 30-50 animals are currently at the school.
Cat and dog food, water bowls, toys and cat litter will be delivered to South Milwaukee High School, 801 15th Ave., South Milwaukee, WI 53172 at approximately 12:45 p.m.
The Wisconsin Humane Society reminds all guardians to have emergency evacuation plans in place that include companion animals. By being prepared, you will significantly increase the chance that your companion animal will escape unharmed. Also, whenever possible, it is essential that you take your companions with you in the event of an evacuation. Even if you think you will only be away for a few hours, you may become delayed or the emergency may escalate. Establish your own emergency plan that includes your animals. Detailed information about preparing for emergencies can be found here.
Interview Opportunity: Angela Speed from the Wisconsin Humane Society will be available for interviews at South Milwaukee High School between 1:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m.

Gamestop: 'We applaud Microsoft' for reversing Xbox One used-game rules
Microsoft's Reversal on their draconian Xbox One DRM restrictions has really changed the next generation battle but has the damage been done already to their Xbox Brand? Will you be getting an Xbox One after these new changes in policies? Or are you more wary of them now than ever before?
"Gamestop welcomes today's announcement from Microsoft about changes in functionality for its next-generation console, the Xbox One," Gamestop says. "This is great news for gamers and we applaud Microsoft for understanding consumers and the importance of the pre-owned market."

+NBC News : House Republicans are pushing for a base on Mars and will discuss their plan at a meeting of the House Science, Space and Technology Committee on Wednesday.
The plan is part of legislation to reauthorize NASA for two more years and the bill includes language not only advocating for a base on the surface of Mars, but also on the moon.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich infamously said during his 2012 presidential campaign that he planned to have a moon base in operation by 2020. A base on the moon could cost anywhere between $40 billion to $500 billion.

Protesters flood Brazilian cities over World Cup spending
Wow, over a 500,000 people protesting in Brazil over the insane spending for the World Cup & Olympic events! And you know what, in my opinion they have a point... with all that money being spent on those sporting events they can definitely alleviate many issues the country has economically.
A quarter of a million people flooded the streets of cities across Brazil last night to protest against police violence, political corruption and World Cup spending.

Chipotle Becomes First Chain Restaurant to Labels GMOs
Chipotle is now giving consumers 100% transparency by labeling GMOs in their foods. Unfortunately, you might be shocked to learn that even their rice contains GMOs. It's because of the soybean oil. The good news is that, using the information on their website, one can now choose GMO-Free when eating at Chipotle. They are also working to eliminate GMO ingredients from all their ingredients...following the example of Whole Food's. I applaud Chipotle for their willingness to be transparent and for being the first large chain restaurant to begin making changes that will allow their customers to purchase GMO-Free food.

Find out how we're helping to fight the spread of HIV/AIDS using new data and technologies to help prevent new infections.
In the 30 years since HIV/AIDS was first discovered, the disease has become a devastating pandemic, taking the lives of 30 million people around the world. In 2011 alone, HIV/AIDS killed 1.7 million people, 1.2 million of whom were living in sub-Saharan Africa. Though life-saving antiretroviral treatment is available, access is not yet widespread; of the estimated 14.8 million HIV-positive individuals in need of treatment, nearly 6 million are not currently able to access it.
Even more troublesome, new HIV infections continue to outpace those added onto antiretroviral treatment. More than 330,000 infants and children were newly infected with HIV in 2011, and 2.5 million total new HIV infections occurred in the same year—a rate that has held relatively constant since 2006.
Because individuals in their most productive years (15-49 years old) are most commonly infected with HIV/AIDS, the disease has a wide socioeconomic impact that threatens development progress in many poor countries, especially those in sub-Saharan Africa. 14.8 million children in the region have already lost one or more parents to the disease. In South Africa alone, 1.9 million children have been orphaned due to AIDS, exacerbating a social dynamic that is already deeply challenged by crime, violence and unemployment. HIV/AIDS targets people during their most productive years, making economic progress in many sub-Saharan African countries even more of a challenge. Some estimates suggest that annual GDP growth in highly affected countries can be 2-4% lower than in countries with the absence of AIDS.
In 2005, world leaders at the G8 summit in Gleneagles and at the U.N. World Summit in New York pledged to reach universal access to prevention, care and treatment by 2010. Though this target was not achieved, leaders recommitted to the fight against AIDS in 2011 by agreeing to work toward achieving universal access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support by 2015. Delivering these essential services will require a strengthening of health systems, especially in Africa, which is home to two-thirds of those requiring antiretroviral (ARV) treatment, but only 3% of the global health care workers to provide it.
We are at a critical moment in the fight against HIV/AIDS. The world has made incredible progress in its efforts to understand, prevent and treat this disease, and progress has been particularly rapid during the last ten years. But by the end of 2011 more than 8 million people were on life-saving antiretroviral treatment, up from just 300,000 in 2002; of that 8 million more than 6.2 million were living in sub-Saharan Africa. Botswana, Namibia, Rwanda, Swaziland, and Zambia have achieved universal access to antiretroviral therapy by providing treatment to at least 80% of patients in need. In Benin, Kenya, Malawi, South Africa, and Zimbabwe more than sixty percent of people in need of antiretroviral medication are receiving it and coverage levels are approaching the 80% target.Though we have not made enough progress on the prevention of HIV, we now have impactful new data and technologies to help us better prevent new infections in the years to come. More sophisticated treatment regimens now make it possible to prevent the transmission of HIV from mother-to-child in as many as 98% of cases. Nearly 57% of all pregnant women with HIV can now receive ARV prophylaxis for PMTCT and a global effort co-led by UNAIDS and the US Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator (OGAC) has called for leadership from the 22 highest-burden MTCT countries to help virtually eliminate transmission from mother-to-child by 2015. New research over the last two years has also provided groundbreaking data on two fronts: the impact of treatment as prevention, and the role of male circumcision in prevention strategies. The HPTN 052 clinical trial showed that treatment acts as prevention, reducing the likelihood of an HIV-positive individual on treatment passing HIV on to others by up to 96%. Voluntary medical male circumcision, another powerful tool, was shown to reduce the likelihood of HIV infection by up to 60%. Combination prevention, including treatment-as-prevention and other strategies such as PMTCT, the ABC strategy to prevent sexual transmission (Abstain, Be faithful, & correct and consistent use of Condoms), male circumcision, and reduction of unsafe blood and medical injections, will play a central role in moving us towards ending the pandemic.
Now, for the first time in history, the world can look ahead to the beginning of the end of the AIDS pandemic. We have the tools necessary to achieve an AIDS-free generation if we focus our efforts on three interim goals: virtual elimination of mother-to-child transmission by 2015, expansion of antiretroviral treatment to 15 million people by 2015, and implementation of innovative prevention techniques to stop new infections. To bend the curve of the AIDS pandemic, these goals cannot be achieved in isolation from one another, nor can their achievement be the sole responsibility of a small number of donor countries. Only when working in parallel - through the broad support of donors, African governments, international organizations, and the private sector -will the beginning of the end of AIDS become a reality.
During a time of financial austerity and economic crisis in many parts of the world, it is essential for both donor and recipient countries to reaffirm their commitments to combating HIV/AIDS while making strategic investments. From 2002 to 2009, global funding for HIV/AIDS increased dramatically from $800 million to $6.8 billion annually, and these international investments are paying off: the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria has helped 4.2 million people receive ARV treatment and conducted 250 million HIV counselling and testing sessions, while the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) has directly supported 5.1 million people on ARV treatment as of September 2012 and reached nearly 15 million people with care services, including more than 4.5 million orphans in FY2012.
Sustaining our current progress, with an aim towards beginning to end AIDS, will require increased focus on prevention, expanded ARV treatment, and continued scientific research. At this critical juncture, it is imperative for all of us to make strategic investments and to keep an eye on the finish line.

GENDER: Masculine
OTHER SCRIPTS: Борис (Bulgarian, Russian, Macedonian)
PRONOUNCED: bah-REES (Russian), BO-ris (German), BAWR-is (English) [key]
Meaning & History
From the Turkic name Bogoris, perhaps meaning "short" or "wolf". It was borne by the 9th-century king Boris I of Bulgaria who converted his country to Christianity, as well as two later Bulgarian emperors. The name was popularized in the Slavic world due to the 11th-century Saint Boris, who was a Russian prince martyred with his brother Gleb. His mother may have been Bulgarian. Another famous bearer was the 16th-century Russian emperor Boris Godunov, later the subject of a play of that name by Alexander Pushkin.

I wonder if the Vancouver sports writers still write periodic love sonnets to their old team the Grizzlies the way that our Charlotte sportswriters do?
Totally disagree with Rick, no Hornet's on the court play has merited a jersey retirement (No issue with Bobby Phills, RIP) nor will one until CP3 retires, and that's if he stays in NoLa.
However, it's interesting to note that, of the best Hornets (in Charlotte), Dell is the only one whose number has not been worn by a Bobcat. Zo, LJ, Muggsy, everyone has had their number issued.

Family Council: Poorest Counites Spend Most on AR Lottery
By: Adam Rodriguez
Updated: May 18, 2012
The Family Council is wagging a finger at the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery.
It says, based on lottery reports obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, some of the poorest counties in the state have the highest sales rates.
Family Council Communications Director Josh Mesker says they received a list of lottery sales by county and divided it by the county's population (according to the 2010 U.S. Census) to calculate a per person average.
Mesker says, according to the information they received, the lottery has racked up more than $1.2 billion in sales since it first started Powerball tickets in October of 2009, or $420 per person in the state.
But the average Jefferson County resident has bought more than $700 in lottery tickets, and in Nevada County it's more than $900 (more than 20 percent of people in both counties live below the poverty line, according to the census).
Mesker says the numbers show the lottery is selling the most tickets to the people who can least afford them. He says the same trend can be seen in other states with lotteries, and one of the reasons the Family Council was opposed to the lottery's creation.
"It is undeniably true that the poorer people in other states (that have lotteries like we have), play the most because they're trying to get out of their desperate situation, and it's quite sad," Mesker said.
Arkansas Scholarship Lottery Spokesperson Julie Baldridge says, with the exception of Jefferson County, the top five counties for ticket sales all have median incomes above the state average. She says the lottery is a legal enterprise, is run by the state, and was approved by 63 percent of Arkansas voters.
She added the lottery doesn't want money from three sources: anyone under the age of 18, anyone playing with non-discretionary income, and anyone who expects to win.
Most importantly, Baldridge says, the purpose of the lottery is to provide scholarships for Arkansas students going to college, and so far they've awarded around 65,000.

Check out Juhi Chawla on the sets of Sultanat
MUMBAI MIRROR (October 24, 2012)
She won the 1984 'Miss India' title and among others, is best remembered for her role opposite Aamir Khan in Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988). At the time though, Juhi Chawla was already one film old in Bollywood, having made her debut with the 1986 movie Sultanat, written and directed by (late) Mukul S Anand and produced by Arjun Hingorani.
This picture was captured by ace lensman Jagdish Aurangabadkar during an outdoor shoot of the film that took place in the desert.
With sand dunes as the backdrop, Juhi is seen holding hands with her co-star Karan Kapoor as the couple face a menacing looking Sunny Deol wielding a sword.
Sunny played 'Sultan' in the film while Sridevi portrayed his love interest. Dharmendra's eldest son had already entered films with the blockbuster Betaab, along with another debutant Amrita Singh. He had also starred in Rahul Rawail's Arjun that proved to be a runaway hit. Sridevi on the other hand was a comparative newcomer and her voice had to be dubbed in the film.
For Shashi Kapoor's son Karan, Sultanat was his first major movie. And though he acted in very few projects thereafter, including Loha (1987) and the British series, The Jewel in the Crown (1984), he modelled for premiere brands like Bombay Dyeing in the 80s.
Interestingly, Sultanat also starred Dharmendra as General Khalid and brought on screen the real life father-son duo of Dharmendra and Sunny, albeit as enemies.
It was director Mukul Anand's third film after Kanoon Kya Karega and Aitbaar however his biggie Agneepath starring Amitabh Bachchan was yet to come. It was Arjun Hingorani who gave Dharmendra his first break in the 1960 film, Dil Bhi Tera Hum Bhi Tere. They shared a great equation and the actor starred in many films directed and/or produced by Hingorani. All said, while Hingorani chose to advertise Sultanat as "the picture destined to do minimum Rs 2 crore business per major territory', it failed to make a mark at the BO.

Readers give gift of speech to teenage cerebral palsy sufferer (From Wilts and Gloucestershire Standard)

Readers give gift of speech to teenage cerebral palsy sufferer
A TEENAGE triplet who has battled with cerebal palsy since birth has spoken his first words this month, thanks to help from readers of the Standard.
David Pearson and siblings Katy and Robert were born 12 weeks premature, weighing just two pounds, but only David developed the condition that has prevented him from being able to walk or speak and left him partially sighted.
The 16-year-old has been attending Milestone School in Gloucester where he began to improve after using a touch-screen computer, and two years ago the family tried to raise £4,000 for David to have one at home in Stratton.
The family raised some funds themselves but after the Standard launched its appeal for the remaining £2,800 in September 2010, generous readers helped reach the target within a few months and by December that year David had his computer.
This week mum Lizzi Ussher spoke of her joy that David had recently been able to say his first full words, and she puts his progress down to his interaction with the computer.
The youngster was also this month commended by his school at a leaving ceremony for students where he received an award for personal achievement and fortitude.
"He loves using the plasma screen and it's defenitely helped his recent progress and he's now able to say a couple of words such as "hip hip hooray"," she said.
"The school were amazed at the fact that he's been so desperatly ill on at least two occasions, but he's done it with complete courage and bravery, and just gone from strength to strength.
"He battled through three months in hospital, it nearly killed him, but he's come on in leaps and bounds and is looking at what he would like to do now he's finished school. I'm just so proud of him and would never have believed this possible.
"I just thought to myself that I really wanted to thank all those people who donated so generously to make this happen."

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone
Starring: Jim Carrey, Steve Buscemi, Steve Carell, Alan Arkin, Jay Mohr, James Gandolfini, Brad Garrett, Olivia Wilde, Gillian Jacobs, Melissa Ordway
Directed by: Don Scardino
for sexual content, dangerous stunts, a drug-related incident and language.Synopsis: Superstar magicians Burt Wonderstone (Steve Carell) and Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi) have ruled the Las Vegas strip for years, raking in millions with illusions as big as Burt's growing ego. But lately the duo's greatest deception is their public friendship, while secretly they've grown to loathe each other. Facing cutthroat competition from guerilla street magician Steve Gray (Jim Carrey), whose cult following surges with each outrageous stunt, even their show looks stale. But there's still a chance Burt and Anton can save the act both onstage and off if Burt can get back in touch with what made him love magic in the first place.
