You can dance if you want to – but only for one more year.
If you have always wanted to see the spectacular dance moves that are part of the region's premier social event, make sure you attend the seventh annual Movers & Shakers Gala, set for Saturday, May 17, at Lakeland College.
This is the final year that Sheboygan County "celebrities" will show off their best dance moves to raise money for local charities and nonprofit organizations, Lakeland College and The Sheboygan Symphony Orchestra.
The Movers & Shakers Gala will have a new format in 2015, and a sneak preview will be unveiled at this year's event.
"Ever since we introduced the Movers & Shakers Gala in 2008, people have been excited to see the evening we have planned for them each May," said Deborah Wente, a member of the Lakeland Board of Trustees and the chair of the Movers & Shakers organizing committee. "We are ready for a big finish for this format, and we cannot wait to preview to our supporters what we have planned for the future.
"The community support and volunteer interest for Movers & Shakers continues to be strong. These people join our 'celebrities,' local companies and our guests who give financially to make this evening successful."
Guests this year can expect to once again see Lakeland's Todd Wehr Center transformed into a beautiful ballroom with an inviting dance floor, a massive lighting setup and huge video screens to provide a who's who of Sheboygan County a lush stage to showcase their best moves.
In its previous six years, Movers & Shakers has raised more than $2.5 million, including a four-year total of $263,500, for more than 30 nonprofit organizations.
Major sponsors of this year's Gala are the Frank G. and Frieda K. Brotz Family Foundation, Festival Foods and Studio Gear Technology. Additional event sponsors include Blue Moon Studios, Huber Creatives, Salon Sase, Zimmermann Printing and Canopies Events with Distinction.
Movers & Shakers is pleased to welcome nine new dancers, and each dancer has selected a charity which will benefit from their votes sales.

Complete biographies of each dancer are available on the Movers & Shakers website, http://moversandshakersgala.org.
The celebrities will be paired with a professional dancer, and are in the midst of months of training before they compete to win the support of four judges and what's sure to be another sell-out crowd.
A limited number of tickets are available and can be purchased online at the Movers & Shakers website or by contacting Kym Leibham, Lakeland's alumni & community engagement officer, at or 920-565-1014.
You don't have to attend the event to help support the charities. Anyone can purchase votes, at $20 each, for their favorite dancer prior to the event at the Movers & Shakers website. These charities receive 50 percent of the proceeds raised from the votes for each dancer on their behalf, so vote early and often.
Matt Quasius, who danced in 2011, is returning for his second year as host for the evening. Judges Sandi Vasatka and Jessica Mueller will be joined by guest judges Sheri Murphy, the 2012 Movers & Shakers Gala champion, and Tom Liebl, president and chief operating officer of Sheboygan Paper, Co., who purchased the fourth judge spot at the 2013 event.
A pre-event reception begins at 5:30 p.m., followed at 6:45 by seating in the ballroom for dinner, which features a mouthwatering menu prepared by Lakeland's Dining Services staff.
Several of the professional dancers will perform as part of a new feature this year. The couples include Angela and Frank Gillitzer, Sue Alby and Rod Schulz and Suzana Gossett and Joey Santos.
Following the competition, the dance floor will be open to all guests and Downtown Harrison will provide music for the remainder of the evening.
You can also be part of the pre-event buzz by joining dancers, committee members, guests and volunteers on Facebook at http://moversandshakersgala.org/facebook. "Like" the event page for regular updates.
If you want to get behind the scenes and help make this evening possible, a number of volunteer opportunities are open to the community. More information is available at http://moversandshakersgala.org/volunteer.

30 in 30: Markstrom among Panthers questionsby Mike Battaglino
After a 2012-13 season that created far more questions than answers for the Florida Panthers, one lingered above all others: "What the heck happened?"
A free-fall from division champ to NHL-worst has Florida entering this season wondering if anything else can go wrong.
These six questions will help determine who the real Florida Panthers are:
1. Is Jacob Markstrom ready to be a No. 1 NHL goalie? -- The Panthers don't score much, so they have keep the other team from putting pucks in the net, and last season they didn't. Their 170 non-shootout goals allowed were 11 more than any NHL team.
Primary responsibility for stopping the puck now falls to 23-year-old Markstrom, who is being handed the starting job with Florida choosing to not re-sign Jose Theodore and keeping Scott Clemmensen as veteran insurance.
"[Jacob is] by no means the complete goaltender we hope he will be someday," assistant general manager Mike Santos told the Miami Herald this summer. "But, again, he's young.''
Markstrom allowed 68 goals in 23 games last season for a 3.22 goals-against average that resulted in an 8-14-1 record. During the final month of the season, when the Panthers were playing a number of young players on a nightly basis, he gave up six goals in a game twice, five once and four twice.
"We were forced into that situation last year because of the injury [to Theodore's groin]," Santos said. "[Jacob] was thrown into a tough situation. Given the time he came up and all the injuries we had in the short season, I think it was difficult to expect him to come in and play to the best of his abilities."
Markstrom signed a two-year contract July 15, so he must prove he is the long-term answer.
2. Can Jonathan Huberdeau avoid a sophomore slump coming off hip surgery? -- The 20-year-old's Calder Trophy season became even more impressive when it was revealed he had to have the labrum in his hip surgically repaired.
"That tells you a lot about this kid," general manager Dale Tallon said. "He played hurt and played extremely well. And we didn't have a lot of players, with our injuries; they had to focus on that guy and he still contributed and played his heart out. It tells you what kind of player and person he is, playing hurt and he still won Rookie of the Year."
Huberdeau was second on the Panthers with 14 goals and 31 points, skating in all 48 games. That's 23 goals and 53 points pro-rated to an 82-game season, numbers he certainly should be able to reach if he's healthy.
"You feel good, but you don't want to go too quick too soon," Huberdeau said in mid-July. "With this injury you want to take it slowly; it's a process and I'm just following it."
3. Can the Panthers become the first team in 45 years to win have back-to-back Calder winners? -- Not since Derek Sanderson won the 1968 Calder after Boston Bruins teammate Bobby Orr won it the year before has a team produced consecutive rookies of the year.
In the past 13 seasons, 13 NHL teams have had a Calder Trophy winner.
Huberdeau pioneered what's expected to be a long line of future all-stars to emerge from the Panthers pipeline. Forwards Nick Bjugstad and Vincent Trocheck -- maybe even Aleksander Barkov, the 17-year-old No. 2 pick in the 2013 NHL Draft -- will be given ample opportunity to duplicate Huberdeau's feat in 2013-14.
"We're going to go with our young guys," Tallon said. "That's been the plan all along and that's the way we're going to go. … The Barkovs and Bjugstads and [Drew] Shores and Trochecks. Those are the guys that are our future. That's what's going to have to get done here."
4. Can Erik Gudbranson live up to his draft status? -- A No. 3 draft pick, just like Huberdeau, Gudbranson hasn't produced the same results as a defenseman.
It went completely off track for him last September, when he injured himself while wakeboarding. He was sidelined and suspended, costing him what would have been valuable development time in the American Hockey League during the lockout.
After starting his NHL season Feb. 7, he had four assists in 32 games and was a minus-22. He's minus-41 over the past two seasons, tied for worst in the NHL (Mark Streit).
"It was difficult," Gudbranson told the Miami Herald. "The season didn't start very well on a personal front for me after hurting my shoulder. It was a tough season, but we tried to make it better and it just didn't happen."
At 21 years old, the 2010 draft pick already is facing a career crossroads.
"I think we had real constructive conversations with him on what he has to work on this summer," coach Kevin Dineen told the newspaper. "He's already taking steps to make sure that his preparation will be exactly what we're looking for."
5. Should the Panthers have drafted Seth Jones? -- If Gudbranson does not improve, the decision to pass on Jones will become even more scrutinized.
The Panthers lost the 2013 NHL Draft lottery to the Colorado Avalanche, who chose forward Nathan MacKinnon at No. 1. Sitting second, Florida also picked a forward, Barkov, rather than Jones, the defenseman who was Central Scouting's No. 1-rated North American skater.
Asked the day before the draft for pros and cons, Tallon said this:
"The pros [for taking Jones] are we would have the best crop of young defensemen in hockey. ... We'd have a stable of young defensemen that really would solidify that position for many years to come. It would affect our offense, at first, because we wouldn't get that prolific forward in this particular draft. But long-term, we'll get a lot more offense from our back end.
"As far as taking a forward, well, it's a need. It gives our other players [from] our other drafts in the last two years a little more time to develop so they can get more confidence and score more goals … then when called up they're more ready to perform."
With 22-year-old Dmitry Kulikov also coming off a step-backward season on the Panthers blue line, Barkov will be judged against more than just his own play, at least in the near-term.
Jones fell to No. 4 and the Nashville Predators, who could use him on their top pairing this season.
6. Will Florida find rough waters in the Atlantic? -- Even though the Southeast Division produced just as many Stanley Cup champions as any other since the 2003-04 season (two), realignment was not kind to the Panthers.
Florida is leaving a competition-cozy collection of teams to take on some tradition-rich Cup contenders in the Atlantic Division, the new home of the Boston Bruins, Detroit Red Wings, Montreal Canadiens, Ottawa Senators and Toronto Maple Leafs.
At first glance, the Panthers likely will compete with the Tampa Bay Lightning and Buffalo Sabres for sixth place. Add to that a travel log of 45,136 miles (according to Ontheforecheck.com), most in the Eastern Conference.
The bright side? Midwestern snowbirds spending the winter in Florida could fill BB&T Center to watch their favorite teams.

If you haven't yet heard the Justin Bieber song "Thought of You," it is only a matter of time. It's the ninth track on Bieber's third album, "Believe," and while it has yet to hit airwaves as a single, its earworm potential is undeniable. There's something joyous about the way all the sounds come in and start grooving together, a blend of sugary synths, handclaps and sirens. The song demonstrates the weird mix of euphoria and precision that now characterizes pop music: Every note sounds focus-group tested and groomed to perfection. You get the sense that the man behind the track is part composer, part gem cutter and part drill sergeant.
The man behind "Thought of You" is Ariel Rechtshaid. He is a 32-year-old music writer and producer who has worked with a notably diverse set of artists, including Usher, Cass McCombs, Snoop Dogg, We Are Scientists, Glasser and Theophilus London. He masterminded the 2005 platinum-selling ballad "Hey There Delilah" by the Plain White T's and is a veteran performer in his own right: He played guitar and sang for a ska-punk band called the Hippos in high school and later helped launch an indie rock outfit, Foreign Born.
As a producer, Rechtshaid isn't as well known as Max Martin, Dr. Luke or David Guetta (they're the kings of production, he's still a prince), but a string of wise partnerships, including an ongoing alliance with Philadelphia-based hit-maker Diplo, makes him an artist to watch. He lives in Los Angeles, where like many in the business, he uses the audio production software Pro Tools to compose, edit and mix sounds. But, he told me in an interview recently, he's also stocked his studio with more old-school technologies: guitars and synths, drum machines and analog recording equipment. "I'm big into playing and recording everything, then reviewing it, cutting out moments that feel good and bringing them together, just seeing what comes of it," he says.
While Rechtshaid's songs have the deliberate, micro-managed feel of a lot of modern pop music, they come about through experimentation. Rechtshaid builds songs from the ground up, without a particular vision in mind. He describes messing around with chords on the piano or guitar, haphazardly throwing in drum tracks, running everything through various distortions. One of his rules is not to repeat himself. That means trying to outrun not only the so-called "formula" — a typical hit's rote journey through intro, verse, pre-chorus, chorus, lift, bridge and outro — but his own instincts. "I realized at a certain point that everything I knew, all my intuition, always got me to a place that I could predict," Rechtshaid explains. "That's less inspiring than when something unpredictable happens."
What's the most unusual song he's ever worked on? He points to "Climax," by Usher, which he describes as "all tension and very little release." Restless for a slow jam but reflective for a club track, the song throbs and smolders instead of "arcing" like a standard R&B tune. (It also just claimed the number three spot on the Pazz and Jop 2012 Singles chart).
But on a basic level, Rechtshaid says, pursuing the unpredictable just comes down to making counterintuitive choices sound-by-sound — reaching for sample B when he wants to use sample A. That he takes pride in rarely deploying the same sound twice shows how far pop music has come from the days when every hit consisted of guitar, drums, bass and maybe keyboard. (For comparison's sake, today's standard audio production software includes more than 75 virtual instruments. These can be modified to create thousands of sounds — not counting all the sounds you can collect by recording actual instruments, running them through filters, and applying various effects such as fades and echoes. A single composition on Pro Tools can support up to 256 simultaneous tracks, and the typical pop smash layers at least 30. Overachievers like the Pink song "Raise Your Glass" incorporate more than 90.)
As a music fan and as a producer, Rechtshaid is genre-fluid. He loves Nirvana and Kurt Cobain; he admires Britney Spears for releasing songs that feel "clear and concise and 100 percent communicative." Some of his heroes include the Ramones, Fleetwood Mac and Joy Division because "they have their own sounds" and "when the song comes on you can tell whose it is."
At times he comes close to denying that his own works share any aesthetic at all. He believes his job involves getting inside a band's headspace and channeling its peculiar spirit — because "every artist, every project, should be unique." If a common theme does animate his work, it may be some version of Ezra Pound's injunction to make it new. "I strive to create music that doesn't sound like anything else," he says.
As for the hits themselves, each one has its own origin story. Sometimes an artist will call and request a track from scratch. Sometimes the call comes after Rechtshaid has already been toying with a few ideas and has a portfolio to vend. Sometimes he brings an artist what he thinks will be a beautiful fit and the artist rejects it. Sometimes, after that, the two begin an impromptu brainstorming session that produces radio gold.
"Thought of You" arose in a typically contingent, unforeseeable way. According to Rechtshaid, he and Diplo received a call from Usher requesting a meeting, so the two of them began working up a chord progression and some drum tracks. When they played the embryonic song for the star, though, everyone agreed that its tone felt slightly too bright. Usher, who is close to Justin Bieber, gave Rechtshaid his blessing to present the track to the Bieber camp. Though Rechtshaid didn't know much about the Canadian sensation, he reached out to the singer's team just before jetting off to the Caribbean to record reggae with Snoop Lion. The day he got back, he rushed into his first Bieber meeting with material he hadn't given much thought to for weeks. But none of that mattered; Justin loved "Thought of You"; Rechtshaid went home the same day and began tightening, polishing and adding effects. A few days later, he recruited Eric Belinger to write the top line (the melody and lyrics), some of which Bieber would alter and riff on during recording. The whole thing came together "remarkably quickly," Rechtshaid recalls.

Dynamo, Greenstar end sponsorship deal early
The Dynamo will be one of three MLS teams without a jersey sponsor this season.
Eleven months shy of the conclusion of their three-year, $7.5 million contract, the Dynamo and Greenstar have ended their sponsorship agreement to facilitate Waste Management's acquisition of Greenstar.
"This is a good situation for everybody," Dynamo president Chris Canetti said. "It's not necessarily bad. We have a situation where we had a great two-year relationship with a company.
"Ultimately they've been bought out, which of course was beyond our control. With their corporate landscape changing, we've reached an agreement to end the sponsorship. We didn't have to walk away from the sponsorship.
"There was a contract in place. We found a mutually b1eneficial agreement. We're happy. Greenstar's happy."
The two-time MLS Cup champions will join the Colorado Rapids and San Jose Earthquakes as the only franchises without a jersey sponsor in the 19-team MLS.
Per league rules, jersey sponsorships are supposed to be for at least three years. It's unlikely the Dynamo will have a jersey sponsor at the start of the season, but Canetti isn't ruling out finding a sponsor during the season.
Canetti declined to discuss the financial settlement, but he doesn't expect the defending two-time Eastern Conference champions will suffer on the field because of the termination.
The team doesn't have to re-brand any of its 2013 uniforms or equipment and has been playing exhibition matches in uniforms with no sponsor's logo.
"There's no issue with any of our on-field product," Canetti said. "None of it includes a sponsor logo on it.
"The beauty of it is that we're free and clear to find a new sponsor. We're really confident that there's going to be some excellent opportunities with some strong global companies."

The reality is that the federal government is borrowing $3.3 billion a day, and President Barack Obama wants to fix it with taxing the rich, which will solve about 7 percent ($224 million per day) of the problem.
Of course, the rich should pay more, but the real problem is government spending. We cannot wait years to start addressing this issue. A balanced budget must be hammered out within a few years. Also Medicare will go bankrupt in 2024 and Social Security in 2033. If we don't start tweaking these important programs now, it will become almost impossible to fund them in the future without Greece-like consequences.
Can we have a recall vote and get rid of all 536 elected officials? I don't see any hope with the positions being taken by President Obama, House Speaker John Boehner, and Senate Majority leader Harry Reid.

Hulk Hogan, also known as Terry Bollea, is being sued by John Graziano, the passenger of the 1998 Toyota Supra that was wrecked by his Supra-loving son, Nick Hogan. Graziano's lawyer filed suit against the Hulkster yesterday after the wreck last August left Graziano with severe head trauma.
Graziano's attorney will be seeking millions of dollars from Hogan & Co. The attorney says that Hulk and his estranged wife, Linda, as parents of Nick Bollea, are liable for his idiotic actions as he was only the tender age of 17 at the time of the crash. That crash left Graziano requiring care for the rest of his life. Did we also mention Graziano allegedly wasn't wearing his seatbelt at the time of the wreck. [AP]

Title: The Musician's Daughter
Author: Susanne Dunlap
Pages: 317
Days took to Read: 2 days
Cover Rating: 4/5
Character Rating: 4/5
Plot Rating: 3/5
Overall Rating: 3.5/5
I really liked this book. I thought that it was very artfully written, with a good mix of drama and suspense. I really liked the characters, and I thought she did a great job at making them come alive. I loved the plot, and just the genre was amazing. I recommend it to anyone who likes a mystery in historical terms.
Amid the glamour of Prince Nicholas Esterhazy's court in 18th-century Vienna, murder is afoot. Or so fifteen-year-old Theresa Maria is convinced when her musician father turns up dead on Christmas Eve, his valuable violin missing, and the only clue to his death a strange gold pendant around his neck. Then her father's mentor, the acclaimed composer Franz Joseph Haydn, helps her through a difficult time by making her his copyist and giving her insight into her father's secret life. It's there that Theresa begins to uncover a trail of blackmail and extortion, even as she discovers honor, and the possibility of a first, tentative love. Thrumming with the weeping strains of violins, as well as danger and deception, this is an engrossing tale of murder, romance, and music that readers will find hard to forget.

As I begin to pen this little essay, I grab another three Werther's Original Hard Candies, when I've already consumed two over my daily allotment. Such is the state of my personal discipline when it comes to food—I have no discipline.
So maybe this would be a perfect thing to focus on during Lent. I'm really sick and tired of being a person who has no food discipline, and I'm sick and tired of carrying around extra weight. And to be honest, when I think about this part of my life, I'm sick and tired of me. Maybe a little abstinence will do me some good. Maybe I should give up candy for Lent. Or maybe fast one day a week. Or do something hard. Then I might learn a little food discipline. I might even start losing weight. I might even start feeling good about myself again.
This train of despair is no doubt very common this time of year. By mid-February, our New Year's resolutions are ancient history. Along comes Ash Wednesday and, well, it's like a reprieve. We get a second chance to discipline some weakness or form a new habit. Another opportunity to improve our flagging self-respect!
Lent is supposed to have more spiritual overtones than the mere self-improvement mantras of New Year's. But I suspect that for many of us, Lenten disciplines are more about us than about God. More about getting our act together in some area that continually discourages us and repeatedly sabotages our self-respect. The advantage of Lent over New Year's resolutions is that we can bring God to our side, and the whole church is there to cheer us on. But for many of us, I suspect, it's one big self-improvement regimen, with God as mere personal coach. But who am I to judge others? I have enough self-centeredness ...1

Boiler Maintenance Hillcommon Somerset
There are exceptionally essential stages a man must take when going up against a gas heater repair.Boiler Maintenance Hillcommon Somerset The water evaporator is known to have numerous issues which can prompt gas kettle support. They are regularly utilized for the hydronic warming framework and are equally dispersed through the channels situated in the home. From here, warm is emanated all through the rooms. More current homes as a rule have a steel radiator while more established homes will have radiators produced using cast press. New homes are likewise known to utilize baseboard convectors or articles called a balance tube. The radiator works when the high temp water warms the baseboard blade tube convertor. When this happens, the high temp water is then returned back to its unique area (the kettle). The water that is restored the heater is warmed and the cycle proceeds once more.Boiler Maintenance Hillcommon Somerset This is essentially how most gas boilers function. The framework is regularly utilized with different frameworks that have brilliant floor warming.
They can be either invigorated (fuelled) with gas properties or fuel oil. Boilers that are fuelled with oil regularly require a greater number of gas kettle upkeep than their partner consuming segments.Boiler Maintenance Hillcommon Somerset Exceptional consideration must be given to the oil channel and blower. The segments of a fundamental high temp water kettle comprise of valves and the real heater. It ought to be noticed that gas boilers are significantly more solid.
For the heated water supply, the parts incorporate; water feed valve, air vent, extension tank, weight alleviation valve, aquasat, valve and burners and water feed valve.Boiler Maintenance Hillcommon Somerset With regards to gas heater repair, these are the significant segments that are regularly dealt with. The aquastat controls the temperature of the evaporator utilizing an indoor regulator. The gas valve and burners warms the water chamber. The stream control valve is there to manage the stream of high temp water into the framework.
Alternate segments are highlighted in the boiling water return side. A portion of the parts incorporate the deplete valve and the circulator. A portion of the essential issues that may cause a repair, are that the evaporator may have no power.Boiler Maintenance Hillcommon Somerset The water level can be too low and there can be an indoor regulator breakdown. It is additionally conceivable that the electronic burner start is encountering a glitch which would require upkeep.
Gas evaporator repair may incorporate settling circuit breakers or supplanting a blown wire. The water level may likewise should be expanded to no less than 12-15 psi weight. With gas evaporator support, the temperature setting may likewise be checked.Boiler Maintenance Hillcommon Somerset In the event that the evaporator does not have a weight diminishing valve, at that point the valves may should be opened physically and nourished with water. Different repairs may incorporate relighting the standing pilot (if the pilot light happens to be out). On the off chance that there is no standing pilot, the electronic start may should be settled. Verifying whether the indoor regulator is set in 'warm mode' can likewise dispose of a great deal of issues. The indoor regulator may profit by being climbed or down several indents.

Ronald Ross walked out of prison last week after serving six years for a crime he didn't commit. While there's cause for celebration that an innocent man was set free, justice was not served.
An Oakland police detective, now retired, conducted an inept investigation. An Alameda County deputy district attorney, still on the job, blindly prosecuted the wrong man. Three people who testified at trial apparently committed perjury. And someone has gotten away with attempted murder.
A lot of people have a lot of explaining to do.
But first, let's admire Ross' ability to look forward. He has every reason to be angry at the people and the system that led to his 25-year-to-life sentence. If not for the tireless efforts of the Santa Clara University Law School's Northern California Innocence Project and the pro-bono work of San Francisco law firm Keker & Van Nest, Ross would still be behind bars.
Yet Ross, 51, says he holds no grudges. "The first year and a half, I was mad until I realized that God do things for a reason," Ross said. "It was just something that happened."
To be sure, Ross was no angel. He frequently used drugs before he was sent to prison. "I'm a whole lot better now because I had time to think about things," he said. "I'm trying to keep my nose clean. A lot of people I had seen before I went to prison are still doing the same activity. I can't go back to that. No way. No more."
How many of us, having been through such an ordeal, would say the same? Ross had a troubled past, but violence wasn't part of it. He didn't deserve this.
Which brings us to the next issue: How did this happen?
The detective, then-Sgt. Steven Lovell, was simply lazy. The shooting victim said three people knocked on his door and that one of them shot him. The victim identified one of the men, yet Lovell never pursued the lead.
Instead he placed pictures of Ross, whose mother happened to live in the neighborhood 10 years earlier, and five other men in a photo lineup showed to the victim as he lay in a hospital bed with a morphine drip. The victim identified another man, but Lovell urged him to look again. It was then that he picked out Ross.
From there, things snowballed. Lovell and prosecutor Kevin Wong seemingly lost any critical thinking as they went after Ross. We now know witnesses lied in court. There were plenty of warning signs at the time. Closing a case and securing a conviction took precedent over truth and justice.
Police Chief Howard Jordan and District Attorney Nancy O'Malley must explain what went wrong in their offices, and what steps have been taken to ensure it never happens again. Meanwhile, witnesses should be charged with perjury and the actual gunman must be prosecuted.
This case isn't over. But at least Ross has his freedom back. We wish him well.

Congratulations to Katherine Stevenson, leader of the Transforming Course Design project for Math 103 ( Mathematical Methods for Business), who received a CSU Northridge 2008 Honored Faculty Award for Distinguished Teaching. Kate recently reported outstanding final exam results from the project:
"Our average score across 12 sections of math 103 on the common final was 70%. There were 428 students taking the exam, and it was commonly graded on Saturday May 10th. The average this term represents a more than a 20 point improvement over last term. The exams over the last three terms have been similar, but of course not identical. However, even assuming the usual variations on exam difficulty, instructors, and spring/fall student differences, this is a significant improvement."
You can learn more about the methods used in the course redesign in the podcast on the left side of this page.

"A Star is Born" and "The Favorite" are anticipated to lead the film grants with four offers each. That would put them on a not insignificant rundown of past movies as the second most assigned in SAG history, behind "Shakespeare in Love" (1998), "Chicago" (2002) and "Uncertainty" (2008), which earned five each.
Three of the four TV programs we're foreseeing to lead the current year's designations will be new to the honors. The withdrawing show "The Americans," the first year recruit satire "Barry" and the sophomore period of "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" are relied upon to establish solid first connections, as is returning victor "This is Us." Each is required to be assigned multiple times.

Writing an essay is a very useful skill. The ability to analyze, collect evidence and express your thoughts in writing is the basis for writing any academic text - from essays and articles to examination papers and dissertations. Usually, a good essay describes and discusses several positions or points of view, and then, based on them, a conclusion is drawn reflecting the informed opinion of the author. Therefore, before writing an essay, you should always formulate what you think about what you are writing about, what is your position, what idea you will defend.Excellent tips on how to write a research paper on the site customessaymeister

String of deadly Iraq bombings reflects Kurdish-Arab tensions
BAGHDAD — A suicide bomber attacked mourners at a Kurdish funeral in a town north of Baghdad, killing at least 25 and injuring at least 45 in the worst of a series of four bombings around Iraq Monday. Altogether, 37 people were killed and 60 were wounded in the attacks.
The violence reflects rising tensions between Iraq's Kurds and Sunni Muslim Arabs. Kurds want to incorporate lands that the Arabs controlled during Saddam Hussein's dictatorship into the semi-autonomous Kurdish region in northern Iraq. Arabs are angered by what they consider Kurdish efforts to annex Arab lands along a 300-mile strip from the Syrian border to Diyala province, and especially the oil-rich city of Kirkuk.
Some U.S. officials fear that if the tensions escalate into more widespread ethnic and sectarian violence, they could upset a U.S.-Iraqi agreement of the status of American forces in Iraq, Iraqi elections later this year and the Obama administration's plans to redeploy thousands of U.S. troops from Iraq to Afghanistan.
"There are many people that want to put more obstacles in the path of the federal and the regional governments and to provoke tensions between them," said Mohsen Saadoun, a Kurdish lawmaker. "The federal government should cooperate with the Kurdistan regional government to control the security situation."
The assault on the funeral Monday occurred in Jalawla, a majority Kurdish town about 80 miles northeast of Baghdad where the Shiite-led Iraqi Army and Kurdish Security Forces share control.The suicide bomber detonated as men grieved in a funeral tent for a Kurdish man on the third and final day of mourning for Hamid Khodada, when the largest crowd gathers to pay its final condolences to the family of the deceased.
On Monday evening, men searched through the destruction for their relatives and called out the names of their loved ones as they wept. Family members tried to find their missing relatives among the burned bodies in the local hospital, but the fire ignited by the bomb had charred them beyond recognition.
Most of the injured were transferred to the larger city of Suleimaniyah in the Kurdish region because there wasn't enough space or medical supplies to treat them.
"There will be new mourning inside every Kurdish house," said Deshti Ali, whose cousins were injured in the blast. "Everyone is afraid that today is the start of a new chain of explosions in the city."
Blood also spilled elsewhere in Iraq on Monday.
In Abu Ghraib, west of Baghdad, a bomb planted in a mechanic's shop killed at least nine people and injured 23. In Nineveh province, two suicide bombers, one in Tal Afar near the Syrian border and another in downtown Mosul, killed one policeman, injured four others and wounded five civilians.
(McClatchy special correspondent Hammoudi reported from Baghdad; McClatchy special correspondent Taha reported from Suleimaniyah. A McClatchy special correspondent who can't be named for security reasons reported from Baquba.)

Grey Cloud wrote:Hi Mague,
Interesting couple of posts. It will take me a while to get my head fully around them but I think I get what you are saying.
The great Way is simple
but people delight in complexity.
Mague said: Too much mainstream… Actually "gravity", pressure and density are attributes of the same force. And the force is an attribute of the space itself. Its the void force.
We can now see how tuning to the Fundamental will give a certain degree of "sympathy" to a mass aggregation. This appears to be the basis for the trinity as manifest in all creation in the physical forms of PUSH, PULL AND BALANCE. As we tune to successively finer frequencies IN ADDITION to those preceding, we find progressively more precise sympathetic linking to allow remote stimulation and control of the target aggregation.
Each mass aggregation collectively possesses a Neutral Centre ("void force" or "black hole") which is the synthesis of all associated Neutral Centres on successive levels of individualization.
When many Inter-Atomic units combine, the total combined Neutral Centres of each unit will 'collectively form' an additional and 'new' single Neutral Centre which then becomes the Atomic in the next highest order of evolution. When many Inter-Atomic units combine (each of which has its own Neutral Centre), a single Neutral Centre comes into being as a COLLECTIVE SYNTHESIS of all the separate units to form a new EVOLVED structure now known as the Atomic.
This ADDITIVE principle works throughout Creation to allow the synthesis (and its opposite - analysis/breakdown/division) of all preceding Neutral Centres on quantum levels of individualization in the form of Atoms joining to create Molecules which in turn join to form Mass Aggregations such as Rocks, Trees, Planets, etc.
The standing wave of matter: It is the flow of this aether/zpe as one or more frequencies into matter, where it is REFLECTED FROM THE CENTER ("void force" or "black hole") to phase conjugate with incoming aether/zpe as shown in this standing wave animation.
The Neutral Centre can best be visualized as a drain through which Aether continually flows. The volume of the Aetheric flows throughout a structure are determined by the size of the Neutral Centre opening, exactly like increasing or decreasing the size of the drain in a tank of water. Control of the flow of Aether through this drain therefore determines the density and weight of a mass aggregation.
The character, signature or virtual state pattern of the mass aggregation determines the nature of the interferences which present themselves to the flow of Aether into the Neutral Centre ("black hole"). This mass nature not only determines what the elemental structure of a mass aggregation will be but also the properties exhibited. By altering the frequencies and phase relationships of a mass, we can change the weight, density and nature of the mass by reducing or increasing the Neutral Centre opening to the flow of Aether. Aether flow into a mass aggregate neutral center can effectively 'capture' other mass aggregations, causing them to be caught in the greater flow, to create what is called 'gravity'.
Keely continues by explaining HOW he managed to take advantage of the Neutral Centre ("void force") principle to develop an Engine which was intended to run on Aetheric force;
"In the conception of any machine here-to-fore constructed, the medium for INDUCING a Neutral Centre HAS NEVER BEEN FOUND.
If it had, the difficulties of perpetual motion seekers would have ended, and this problem would have become an established and operating fact. It would only require an INTRODUCTORY IMPULSE of a few pounds, on such a device, TO CAUSE IT TO RUN FOR CENTURIES.
In the conception of my VIBRATORY ENGINE, I did NOT SEEK TO ATTAIN PERPETUAL MOTION; but A CIRCUIT IS FORMED THAT ACTUALLY HAS A NEUTRAL CENTRE ("void force" or "black hole"), which is in a condition to be vivified by my VIBRATORY ETHER, and while under operation, by said substance, is really A MACHINE THAT IS VIRTUALLY INDEPENDENT OF THE MASS (OR GLOBE), and it is the wonderful velocity of the vibratory circuit which makes it so.
Still, with all its perfection, it requires to be fed with the VIBRATORY ETHER to make it AN INDEPENDENT MOTOR....."
Keely continues;
"The man who can, even in a simple way, appreciate this vast problem has been endowed by the Creator with one of the greatest gifts which He can bestow upon a mortal. It is well known that ALL STRUCTURES REQUIRE A FOUNDATION IN STRENGTH according to the weight of the mass they have to carry, but the foundations of the Universe REST ON A VACUOUS POINT FAR MORE MINUTE THAN A MOLECULE;
In fact, to express this truth properly, ON AN INTER-ETHERIC POINT, which requires an infinite mind to understand. To look down into the depths of an etheric centre is precisely the same as it would be to search into the broad space of heaven's ether to find the end; WITH THIS DIFFERENCE, that ONE IS THE POSITIVE FIELD, while the other IS THE NEGATIVE FIELD....."
To look down into the depths of an etheric centre is precisely the same as it would be to search into the broad space of heaven's ether to find the end; WITH THIS DIFFERENCE, that ONE IS THE POSITIVE FIELD, while the other IS THE NEGATIVE FIELD....."
Science has taken a wrong turn in 1887 when Albert A. Michelson and Edward W. Morley conducted a famous experiment, called the Michelson-Morley Experiment. This wrong turn formed an errant foundation our current physics and science rests upon, starting from Albert Einstein (Einstein's Postulates & special theory of relativity) to modern day electromagnetic theory. This wrong turn will rock science to its foundation when realized. It will shatter theories and rewrite a century of books. Among the most devastating will be a crumbling of modern astrophysical theory on formation of our universe (big bang, age of, redshift, and more). Yet, an early scientist was acutely aware of this errant path, but considered it a blessing. Why? A quote:
"I am even grateful to Einstein and others because through their erroneous theories they lead mankind away from that dangerous path I followed." "
Who is this scientist? It was Nikola Tesla, inventor of our current AC electrical power system. What does this have to do with earthquakes? This wrong turn has kept science from understanding a power which permeates our universe and is the power inside an earthquake. But this power is the fear Tesla expressed in 'dangerous path'. It is a fear that mankind will develop this power for the harm of mankind, rather than for the benefit of mankind.
What is the ether and why is it so difficult to detect it? I reflected on this matter for a seriously long time and here are the outcomes I have been led to: I think that all the contradictions about whether the ether exists or not are the result of wrong interpretation of ether's properties. The ether has always been presented as an aeroform environment [gaseous]. That was the essential mistake. The ether has a very strong density. It is known that of more dense a substance, the higher is the speed of wave propagation within it. When comparing acoustic speed in the air and the light speed I have drawn a conclusion that ether density is several thousand times higher than air density. It is not the ether that is aeroform [gaseous] but the material world is an aeroform to the ether!" Nikola Tesla
Is "Ether" God's Firmament?
Some think of it as a 'firmament' that our universe exists within. Tesla continues,
"A good example for such an interaction becomes apparent in gravitation, which should rather be named, universal compression. I think the material bodies do not gravitate between each other but it is the ether that makes one material body to press to another."
"We wrongly call this phenomenon gravitation."
"We can also feel ether's reaction when sudden acceleration or braking."
"The stars, planets and all the universe appeared from the ether when some part of it, due to certain reasons, became less dense."
"It can be compared with formation of blebs [air bubbles] in boiling water although such a comparison is only rough. The ether tries to return itself to its initial state by compressing our world, but intrinsic electric charge within material the world substance obstructs this. It is similar to that when the water compresses blebs [air bubbles] filled with hot water steam. Until the steam does get cold the water is unable to compress the bleb. With time, having lost the intrinsic electric charge, our world will be compressed with the ether and is going to turn into ether."
"Having come out of the ether once so it will go back into the ether." Nikola Tesla
Another 'goof' in science is that since ether didn't exist (Michelson-Morley experiment interpretation) is that this pesky term in Maxwell's equations could be fudged - or assumed to be zero. Scientist Oliver Heaviside didn't like the increasing complexity in solving equations in the full equation forms. By assuming the term 'non-physical', it allowed the simplification of equations and thus working with them. Turns out, this pesky term is not zero at all and is real. Oops.
What does this mean? It means that science has missed the fact of existence of this term. It means that this term implies an ability to interact with Scalar Field Effects - or Scalar waves. Tesla knew of these. He called them Longitudinal waves. And what do longitudinal waves propagate within? A medium or the 'ether'.
How do Scalar Field Effects, Ether, and Zero Point Energy tie together? It means that the tremendous energy of ZPE can manifest in our world in a synchronized way - the earthquake.
Longitudinal waves or scalar waves are induced into the surrounding medium ('ether' as Tesla referred) and begins to cohere synchronized movement of ordinary rock, dirt, or in other words, simple mass. This mass will then move to the symphony of these waves in unison. Remember that the energy for all of this is coming from the incredibly huge available energy - Zero Point Energy - that permeates everything (and the universe) as local waves in this medium cause its release. This is where the metric tons of force come from. This is how it spreads many blocks away. This is how rock transforms into a rubbery and undulating motion. This is the secret of the earthquake.

I'm coming at it from the direction of the Greek's 'rarification and condensation' and Empedokles' Aphrodite and Eris.
lizzie wrote:Mague said: Too much mainstream… Actually "gravity", pressure and density are attributes of the same force. And the force is an attribute of the space itself. Its the void force.
I didn't think John Keely was "mainstream." It sounds to me as if he is saying the same thing that you are.
As a compromise, might I suggest mid nipple as that is what the Greeks called the navel.Personally i like the omphalus more, but it doesnt matter. We could call it cosmic nipple as well.

Short answer: logic stems from rhetoric and sophistry (lawyers evolved from rhetoricians). Reason stems from dialectic (philosophers use dialectic).what exactly is the difference between logic and reason ? Isnt it all the same ?

VESTAL, N.Y. – UMBC softball's Danielle O'Neill (Lothian, Md./Southern) launched a pair of home runs, while junior Taylor Hall (Cosby, Va./Cosby) homered for her 150th career hit in Sunday afternoon's doubleheader against Binghamton, but the Retrievers stranded 13 runners on base, making room for the Bearcats to complete the series sweep in America East action at the Bearcats Softball Complex.
Binghamton (12-10, 3-0 AEC) used four home runs in game one to defeat the Retrievers, 9-6. UMBC (22-14, 0-5 AEC) was unable to complete the comeback in game two, falling, 3-1.
Binghamton strung together three straight hits in the bottom of the second inning to take the 1-0 advantage. Freshman Bridget Hunt started the action with a double down the right field line and senior Mikala King followed with a double of her own to put runners on second and third. Junior Caytlin Friis drove in Hunt on an infield single.
Hunt extended the lead for the Bearcats in the fourth with a solo home run to center field. The Retrievers got one back in the top of the fifth inning, as pinch hitter Megan Sauble (Glen Burnie, Md./Glen Burnie/CCBC-Catonsville) reached on a fielder's choice and advanced to second on a wild pitch. Junior second baseman Katlin Olesky (Irvine, Calif./Northwood/Saddleback College) drove Sauble in on a double to right field to bring the Retrievers within one, 2-1.
A pair of long balls in the bottom of the fifth inning helped Binghamton to a four-run frame, extending its lead to 6-1. UMBC starting pitcher Kelly Lane (Albany, N.Y./Colonie Central) ended her day after allowing four straight hits in the inning. She was credited with the loss (5-6) after surrendering six earned runs on nine hits in four innings.
The Retrievers' offense responded in the sixth, leading off with a single to right field from Hall, followed by a home run from O'Neill. Three straight batters reached safely for UMBC, loading the bases for sophomore third baseman Jordan Sganga (Edgewater, Md./South River). Sganga singled to drive in the Retrievers' third run of the frame, trimming the deficit to two, 6-4, however, sophomore Taylor Chaffee sent a three-run blast over the left field fence, her second homer of the day, build the lead back to five, 9-5.
UMBC posted back-to-back homers to lead off the top of the seventh inning, the first coming from Hall, marking her 150th career hit, and the second coming from O'Neill, her second of the day, but the Retrievers were unable to continue to close the gap. O'Neill finished the contest 2-for-4 from the dish with three runs batted in, while Hall went 3-for-4.
Freshman Annika Wiesinger (2-5) allowed four runs on five hits in five innings for the victory. Demi Laney came in for her first save of the season, allowing two runs on five hits in two innings. UMBC reliever Nicole Casagrand (Horsham, Pa./Hatboro-Horsham) allowed three runs on three hits in two innings of work.
Senior Jessica Bump led off game two with a solo home run, her second of the day, to give the Bearcats an early advantage. Three more singles in the inning extended the lead to 2-0 after one.
Chafee doubled with two outs in the bottom of the third and advanced to third on a wild pitch from starting pitcher Jessica Holte (Ashland, Va./Atlee). A single from freshman Crysti Eichner scored Chafee and gave the Bearcats a 3-0 lead.
UMBC freshman Kaelin Jackson (Export, Pa./Franklin Regional) held to get one back for the Retrievers in the top of the fourth. Jackson launched a one-out double to left field and Lane followed with a single to center, to put runners on first and third. Senior Caitlin Chance (Easton, Md./Easton) reached safely on a Binghamton error to score Jackson from third and bring the Retrievers within two, 3-1.
Laney threw the complete game, allowing one unearned run on six hits. Holte falls to 13-6, surrendering three earned runs on eight hits.
The Retrievers return to action on Wednesday, April 9 when they host Georgetown for a single game. First pitch is set for 2:30 p.m. at the UMBC Softball Stadium.

Getting to Know Views in Outlook 2007
In Outlook 2007, every Outlook module has its own selection of views. Each type of view is organized to make a particular feature of your information obvious at first glance. You can change the way that you view a view by sorting, filtering, or grouping. You can't go too wrong with views because you can easily create new views if the old ones get messed up. So feel free to experiment.
You don't have to do anything to see a view; Outlook is always displaying a view. The view is the thing that takes up most of the screen most of the time. Most people don't even know that they have a choice of Outlook views; they just use the views that show up the first time they use Outlook. So now you're one step ahead of the game.
Each view has a name, which you can see in several different places:
- When you click the Organize button and choose Using Views, the current view's name is highlighted.
- Sometimes, the list of available views appears in the Navigation Pane.
- If all else fails, refer to the Current View menu, where a mark appears next to the current view's name.
To see the Current View menu, choose View –> Current View. The Current View menu lists all the views available in the current module.
Table/List view
All modules contain some version of the Table view — a rectangle made up of rows and columns. Some Outlook menus also refer to this arrangement as a List view. In either case, if you create a new item (by adding a new task to your Tasks List, for example), a new row turns up in the Table view. You see one row for each task in the Table view.
The names of Table views often contain the word List, as in Simple List, Phone List, or just List. The word List means they form a plain-vanilla table of items, just like a grocery list. Other Table view names start with the word By, which means that items in the view are grouped by a certain type of information, such as entry type or name of contact.
Icons view
Icons view is the simplest view — just a bunch of icons with names thrown together on-screen. The only Icons views that come with Outlook are for viewing notes and file folders. Icons view doesn't show a great deal of information, and some people like it that way. You can easily switch to another view if you ever need to see more.
Timeline view
Timeline view shows you a set of small icons arranged across the screen. Icons higher on the screen represent created items or tasks that began earlier in the day. Icons farther to the left were created on an earlier date.
The Timeline in the Tasks module also draws a line that represents the length of time needed to perform a task if you specified its starting and ending times.
A Timeline view includes four toolbar buttons that enable you to change the length of time you want to view:
- Today
- Day (not necessarily today)
- Week
- Month
As you can in all other view settings, you can click to move between one-day and seven-day views and back. (It's like changing television channels, but you don't have to argue over who gets the remote.)
Cards view
Cards view is designed for the Contacts module. Each contact item gets its own little block of information. Each little block displays a little or a lot of information about the item, depending on what kind of card it is.
The Cards view shows you only a few items at a time because the cards are so big. To find a name in your Contacts List, type the first letter of the name that your contact is filed under. Before you know it, you see that person's Address Card. Also, be consistent with name order: Always put the first name first (or last) when entering a contact.
Day/Week/Month view
Day/Week/Month view is designed particularly for the calendar. Like a Timeline view, this view adds Day, Work Week, Week, and Month buttons to the toolbar, enabling you to switch between views easily. All these views also display a monthly calendar. You can click any date in that calendar to switch your view to that date.

Predict evictions better with SmartMove
When you add up the costs related to eviction, it gets expensive. Evicting a tenant can be expensive. From legal fees to court costs to financial damages and lost rent, the costs to evict range from $2500 to $3500 or more according to Transunion data. And tenant eviction can be lengthy process lasting 3-4 weeks or longer. Evicting a tenant is something that most landlords want to avoid at all costs. Using SmartMove's ResidentScore, designed for specifically for the rental industry, landlords have a better opportunity to predict the likelihood of a bad rental property outcome. Collecting over 1.5 million rental outcomes from individuals nationwide, TransUnion has identified the most crucial consumer credit data that are most indicative of evictions.
Large database of eviction records
TransUnion has a database of over 25 million eviction records. Landlords benefit from quick access to records from nearly 700 sources for public criminal and eviction records. And using our accurate match-back logic, SmartMove's enhanced subject selection helps to more accurately match results to applicants. We use our robust credit, personal, and address history database to help determine who is who. That means you receive more accurate results and less false positives. And TransUnion research also indicates that prior evictions are highly predictive of future evictions. In fact, evicted residents have nearly three times as many prior eviction and rental-related collection records than non-evicted residents, according to a TransUnion study. Checking your applicant's eviction report is one of the best ways to avoid a future eviction. Ordering a national eviction report from SmartMove can provide an in-depth view on information such as unlawful detainers, failure to pay rent, tenant judgements for rent and for possession.
