ABC News' Sabrina Parise reports:
Madonna's classic moves, unforgettable songs and relentless energy are undeniably what make her the queen of pop.
For years, diehard Madonna fans have been showing her their love and Madonna, 54, is returning the affection.
Hours before her concert event, "Madonna: The MDNA Tour," airs June 22 on the EPIX network, the queen of reinventing herself invited 500 of her biggest fans to audition for a chance to work out with her, learning the movies the megastar uses to train for her mega-tours.
Madonna's fans got a firsthand glimpse at what it takes to get "MDNA ready," physically, mentally and spiritually, for a grueling world tour.
"Why was it important for you to show them what this was like, what you do, how you choreograph this routine," ABC News' Elizabeth Vargas asked.
"I think it's fun to get in a room and sweat with people," Madonna said. "I'm happy to share my workouts with everyone."
Vargas was shocked to see Madonna do all her choreographed dancing in stilettos.
"Yeah, we learn the choreography in sneakers and then we start practicing in heels that are not quite as high," Madonna said.
But that choreography drew criticism with the first act of her tour relying heavily on the use of guns. Despite that criticism, Madonna says she never would have left that part out of her MDNA Tour documentary.
"That would be like asking people to not have guns in action movies," she said. "I mean the thing is, guns don't kill people, people kill people. That whole first section of the show is like an action movie, and I was playing a super vixen who wanted revenge."
Madonna even gave a statement that she does not condone violence, and that her work is art and nothing more.
"But I know there was several movies that delayed release because of the shootings, for example, at Sandy Hook Elementary school," Vargas said.
"Well that's not going to change the situation," Madonna replied. "This all comes from fear and ignorance, and people not really raising their children, or not paying attention to what's going on."
But Madonna, for one, is keeping a close eye on her brood. The seven-time Grammy winner's four children are joining her on the road. It's a family affair, with daughter Lourdes, 16, working behind the scenes.
"She worked in the wardrobe department," Madonna said. "She had the very, very unglamorous task of undressing and dressing the male dancers. We had a lot of male dancers. It had its unglamorous moments, they're sweaty and disgusting and they're rude. But she took her job very seriously."
Madonna's son, Rocco, also loves being on tour with his superstar mom.
"He threw himself in front of me. He's the showboat in the family," Madonna said.
"You're going to have your hands full," Vargas joked.
"I already have my hands full," Madonna said.
When asked what kind of mom Madonna is, she replied, "Pretty strict. My daughter just got an iPhone. She's 16."
Seeing Lourdes grow up is "kind of uncomfortable," for the superstar mom, who says "she's still my little girl but she's also a woman."
As for Rocco, 12, she says, "He's a foot taller. He's getting facial hair. He's looking at girls' butts. It's terrible."
Vargas asked Madonna "a quick lighting round of questions," starting with the one thing she'd like to change about herself.
"My impatience," Madonna said.
"Can you eat everything?" Vargas asked next.
"I'm guilty of eating Magnum bars before I go to sleep at night," she replied.
"French fries, ever?" Vargas asked.
"Yes, I've had French fries for the last three nights," Madonna replied.
"Biggest love of your life?" Vargas said.
"That would be my children," she answered without hesitation.
The topic of whether the twice-divorced Michigan native will ever get married again, however, was answered much more indirectly.
"I might," she offered.
Retirement was also discussed.
"How much longer do you think you'll be doing this?" Vargas asked.
"I don't know. I've always danced and exercised," Madonna said. "I can't imagine not doing it. I'll be Martha Graham in my 90s doing contractions on the floor."

Representatives from the US Fish and Wildlife Service faced a mostly hostile but mostly respectful crowd. They were there to explain the rationale behind the proposed designation and how it may affect the area.
Two rules are proposed: one would designate the bird as an endangered species and the other would designation large swaths of land as critical habitat.
San Juan County Planner Nick Sandberg explained that challenging the designation as an endangered species may be difficult because it is part of the settlement of a lawsuit.
Sandberg added that challenging the designation of critical habitat may be the best approach for local landowners.
Sandberg said that the comment should not be emotional and should focus on specific and identifiable impacts on the land and on the threat to the livelihood of area residents.
Pleading that the responses should be non-emotional may be very difficult in what has become a very emotional issue.
The frustration that many local landowners feel over the ongoing public lands battles quickly turns into rage over this designation, because it impacts primarily private land.
Approximately 95 percent of the critical habitat proposed for San Juan County is on private land. At roughly 140,000 acres, this represents an estimated 35 percent of the total private land in the entire county.
The impact on private land is significant since more than 92 percent of the land in San Juan County is owned by the state or federal government, leaving just eight percent of the total land mass as private ground.
A US Fish and Wildlife spokesperson told the crowd that a significant portion of the critical habitat under consideration has not had the sage grouse on it for many years.
Many local residents fear that designating such a large swath of private ground will be devastating to the local economy and to the tax base.
In addition to impacts on the agricultural communities, the development of oil and gas resources, wind power resources and other uses of private land could be threatened by the designations.
Over the past ten years, local landowners and organizations, working with state and federal groups, have worked to protect the sage grouse and avoid a federal designation. The working groups have expended significant effort and money to stop the loss of the birds, to little effect.
The group reports that they made progress for several years, but a series of factors, including Mother Nature, have combined to hinder the effort. Despite the best efforts of man, they state that Mother Nature has continued to decimate a bird that has proven to be ill equipped to survive in the modern world.
The US Fish and Wildlife lists a host of factors that threaten the bird, but state that the principle threat is "habitat loss, degradation, and fragmentation due primarily to residential, exurban, and commercial development and associated infrastructure such as roads and power lines."
The reality is that there has been little new activity in the area in recent years. Roads have not been improved or expanded, fences have not changed and agricultural efforts have been minimal.
Local experts state that areas north and east of Monticello were once heavily farmed and grazed and the sage grouse were doing fine. At the current time, there is very little, if any, farming and ranching in the area and the number of sage grouse is diminishing.
The Natural Resources Conservation Services, (NRCS) reports that a significant portion of the land proposed as protected habitat is currently in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). In San Juan County, there are 34,800 acres of agriculture land in the CRP program, with approximately half of the total CRP acreage located in the critical habitat area.
CRP, a federal program which encourages landowners to leave agriculture land fallow, also requires that the land be maintained for agricultural use at some level. Sagebrush and grass habitat is ideal for the sage grouse.
The US Fish and Wildlife initially did not plan a meeting in Monticello. It was added later at the request of San Juan County.
At a similar meeting in Dove Creek, CO in January, federal agents from Homeland Security, dressed in tactical gear and carrying weapons, were in attendance.
San Juan County Sheriff Rick Eldredge reports that while the federal agents were in Monticello on February 7, they were not in attendance at the meeting.
San Juan County Commission Phil Lyman conducted the meeting. In his opening remarks, Lyman said, "This is a volatile topic, I believe we all realize to some extent what is at stake. Anytime the federal government takes action which impacts private property rights, it is of serious concern."
Lyman plead that area residents submit written comments on the proposal, adding, "We need to flood their office with written comments."

Multiple arrests related to marijuana cultivationWritten by Bob Froehlich
According to a press release from the Humboldt County District Attorney's Office, dated Dec. 19, 2011:
On December 13, 2011, after an extensive follow-up investigation stemming from the seizure of multiple commericial marijuana growing operations in the Dinsmore area in October, the Humboldt County District Attorney's Office Criminal Investigations Bureau, assisted by the Humboldt County Drug Task Force (HCDTF) and the Humboldt County Sheriff's Department (HCSO), served search warrants on several locations in an attempt to locate and arrest Courtney Fleming and Tyler Meenan. Fleming was located and arrested for Possession of Marijuana for Sale and Cultivation of Marijuana pursuant to an arrest warrant issued for his role as a property owner related to the marijuana seized in Dinsmore. A search of Fleming's Fieldbrook residence led to the seizure of additional evidence indicating that he maintained that residence for the purposes of cultivating marijuana.
Tyler Meenan was located and arrested for Possession of Marijuana for Sale and Cultivation of Marijuana pursuant to an arrest warrant issued for his role (property owner) regarding the marijuana seized in Dinsmore. A search of his Arcata residence led to the seizure of additional evidence believed to be related to illegal drug trafficking. The residence at 3780 Jones Court, Fortuna was also searched pursuant to the search warrant. Seized from this location was approximately 14 pounds of processed marijuana, approximately 100 pounds of dry/unprocessed marijuana, and firearms.
Investigators then went to 1931 Ocean Avenue in McKinleyville in an attempt to locate two individuals who also had outstanding warrants for their arrest (Possession of Marijuana for Sale and Cultivation of Marijuana) for their roles regarding the marijuana seized in Dinsmore. Although unable to locate those persons, investigators detected the overwhelming odor of growing marijuana emitting from the entire area of the apartment complex, consisting of 13 individual units. One unit was searched with the consent of the occupant, which revealed a functional indoor marijuana growing operation but no growing marijuana plants.
A search warrant was sought and obtained for 11 of the 12 remaining apartments (1897, 1899, 1901, 1903, 1905, 1921, 1923, 1925, 1931, 1933, and 1935 Ocean Drive), 1941 Ocean Drive and several vehicles. Each location contained evidence of a functional indoor marijuana growing operation.
Arrested and booked at the HCCF were the following persons:
- Barbara Alice Benson, 1/10/45
- Kimberly Grace Mundy 06/18/63
- Dustin Ray Garnier 9/13/75
- Nicole M Rahman 07/16/85
- Patrick Majewski 01/15/83
- Vanessa Blount 12/15/86
- Robert Davis Cox 07/15/81
Anyone with information about the whereabouts Paul Givens and Vanessa Flieg is encouraged to contact the nearest local law enforcement agency.
Related to this case, News Coordinator, Terri Klemetson, interviewed Jason Long who said he had been staying at a friend's apartment located within the Ocean Ave., McKinleyville Apartment complex, cited in the press release above.

Eureka Police dispatched to protests at local banksWritten by Bob Froehlich
According to a press release from the Eureka Police Department:
"On Nov. 2, 2011 at about 1:22 pm, officers of the Eureka Police Department were dispatched to the 5th Street branch of US Bank to a report of protesters inside causing a disturbance. Officers arrived on scene and found that the protesters had left. Witnesses reported that the protesters were flying a red and black flag and were chanting sentiments similar to "Wall Street has blood on their hands". The protesters were dressed in dark clothing, some wearing masks, and at least one was carrying a large stick. The subject with the stick was reported to have been using it to bang on the front glass doors of the bank.
While officers were at US Bank, it was reported that the protesters were at the 4th Street branches of Bank of America and Chase Bank, causing similar disturbances. Officers responded to the area and located the group. Protesters were advised that their activities were outside of civilly protected activities and if any further aggressive activities were committed by the group it would lead to their arrests.
The Eureka Police Department were later contacted by citizens who voiced their complaints concerning the fear and intimidation that they experienced, by the actions of the protesters."

kitten vomiting
Okay guys, here's the deal: Gizmo has vomited every morning for the last three mornings. There's no food in it, it's just bile coming up. He's eating, drinking, pooing and peeing just as he always has. I have a vet appointment for Monday with instructions to watch him over the weekend to see what happens. I'm not very reassured, and I'd like some idea of what the problem could be, or what I can do to help him not vomit. I know when the dog gets an upset stomach, I can put him on a boiled hamburger (gets all the fat out) and rice combo, which he loves and which is very, very mild in order to give his system a rest. Keeping in mind the Gizmo isn't quite 6 months yet, is there something similar I can do for him? Maybe cooked, lean chicken or fish? And advice would be appreciated!
Also could be a hairball that isn't coming up.
Vet appt is a good idea just in case. In the meantime, giving Gizmo a bedtime snack or leaving some canned food out overnight might be worth trying if you don't already do this.
"To close your eyes will not ease another's pain." ~ Chinese Proverb
We must not refuse to see with our eyes what they must endure with their bodies. ~ Gretchen Wyler
he gets Iams dry kitten food, supplemented with their wet as a treat 3 times a week. I tried switching him to just the wet and he ended with diarrhea, so we've found this mix of dry/wet, which seems to work well. or was, anyway. and he goes through 3/4 cup of the dry per day. I put it out in the morning when I get up (about 10 in the morning) and when I get home from work (about 12:30 or so at night) it's gone. I'll try giving him a little bit extra tonight to see if that helps.
I would think, as SCM does, that he is hungry and his belly is a bit upset. I would leave some canned food out for him to munch on overnight.
I bet if you did a gradual increase of canned/gradual decrease of dry that Gizmo's diarrhea issues would get better. It is normal for a cat to have diarrhea with a sudden diet change but, with time, it improves. It is the same as us if we eat something we normally don't. Like more veggies in your diet. You could try maybe a tblsp of canned to start gradually, over the course of a week or two, increasing it till he is eating almost all canned and very little dry. It really is healthier for him to be eating canned.
If you don't want to do that would you consider dropping the Iams and trying a corn free, grain free dry. Corn is not digestable for us. I don't know why the pet food industry insists that cats and dogs can digest it. In fact they can't. Grains are also not a good choice for an obligate carnivoure such as cats are. There are some good options available at Global or Pet Valu pet stores.
A really good web site to read is www.catinfo.org . Some of the info in there is mind blowing.
Oops, I think I read that wrong. Is it the Iams they get three times a week or the wet?

That is a much more gradual increase/decrease schedule than what I tried! I started out with about a quarter of a can of the wet. As soon as I get the vomiting under control, I'll try again to do a full switch over. I would rather have him on the wet food, with hopefully set meal times (with maybe some dry kibble on the side for if he gets the munchies) as the dog is on set meal times and pouts that he's not permitted to nibble the cat's food. I'm hopeful that the vomiting is just that he's gotten hungry, and since he's only doing it over night while I'm asleep, and there's no hair mixed in and I don't own any houseplants and all chemicals are locked up, the evidence so far supports that. I'll let you all know how it goes in the morning!
Actually, Iams makes a dry and wet. He gets their kibble daily, and Iams wet three times a week. For now, anyway. Petsmart carries the Wellness brand, which I saw recommended on that website. I definitely like the ingredients listed on the Wellness brand a lot more than what Iams puts in their cat food, so we'll be making a trip this afternoon, I think, so we can start changing him over.
In other news, no vomit! I got home last night and gave him an additional 1/4 of a cup of his kibble, and he chowed it down. I put extra in when that was gone, but I guess the 1/4 cup was all it took, since he didn't nibble on the second portion. I'll keep watching him over the weekend, but I'm feeling pretty good that the problem is solved. Even if I'm feeling lousy that the poor guy was going hungry
Great news that he didn't throw up this morning. At six months old he is still growing at a pretty good rate. Once he is around 10 months he may settle into his routine and you may find he is eating less.
Good job!!

Tens of thousands of anti-government demonstrators massed in Bangkok yesterday, with a major rally scheduled later by their rivals, as Thailand faces its most significant political street action since bloody protests in 2010.
Organizers said 100,000 anti-government protesters had gathered by yesterday afternoon, while thousands of pro-government "Red Shirts" were expected to mobilize later at a suburban football stadium in support of Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra's crisis-hit administration.
Both groups have vowed to remain in the capital overnight as tension rises in a city which has seen several bouts of unrest since ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra — Yingluck's brother — was deposed in a military coup seven years ago.
Authorities said they expect opposition protesters to try to march on Parliament and Government House today, but vowed to show restraint.
"We will not use force and we will try to avoid any casualties," police spokesman Piya Utayo said, estimating the anti-government rally to be at least 30,000 strong.
The Thai capital has already faced weeks of opposition-backed rallies sparked by an amnesty bill that could have allowed the return of Thaksin from self-imposed exile — and pardoned those responsible for a deadly military crackdown on his Red Shirt supporters.
The bill was rejected by the senate, but anti-government protesters have remained on the streets and are now trying to topple the government, which they say acts as a stooge for Thaksin.
Aerial footage showed tens of thousands of protesters crammed into the streets leading to the city's Democracy Monument, which has become the focus of the anti-government protests.
Addressing the rally, protest leader Satit Wongnongtaey hailed the strong turnout for the so-called "People's Day" rally, with many demonstrators arriving from the provinces.
"How can this government survive? How can the Thaksin system survive?" he said to applause from the crowd.
In addition to the botched amnesty bid, Yingluck's ruling Puea Thai party was battered further by a Constitutional Court ruling last week that scuppered the party's plans for a fully elected senate.
Pouncing on the defeats, the opposition Democrat Party, which is driving the anti-government protests, has lined up a battery of challenges to the government.
Yingluck, amid calls to resign, faces a no-confidence debate this week — although her party dominates the lower house and should comfortably defeat any motion.
Government-supporting "Red Shirts" have also vowed to bolster her embattled administration.
"We will hold a peaceful rally and we do not want confrontation, so if there is violence it will not be ignited by Red Shirts," the group's leader Thida Thavornseth said in a televised address on Saturday.
Thailand, which has seen 18 actual or attempted coups since it became a constitutional monarchy in 1932, has appeared irreconcilably polarized over Thaksin.
The telecoms tycoon-turned-politician draws ardent support from many of the country's rural and urban working class, but is loathed by the elite and the middle classes, who accuse him of corruption.
Puea Thai swept to power in 2011 on a wave of support for Thaksin after a bloody military crackdown on the 2010 mass Red Shirt protests by the then Democrat-led government. Scores of people were killed.

Pratt & Whitney Joins UTC in Singapore to Pledge to Save Water
More than 1,000 UTC employees and their families joined about 35,000 people in Singapore on March 16 in its effort to highlight the importance of water conservation during the annual World Water Day.
World Water Day is an annual event organized by the United Nations to raise awareness at preserving water resources. World Water Day was observed internationally on March 22.
The main event in Singapore was a mass 1.1-mile walk for water that simulated the average distance people must walk each day for safe drinking water in many developing countries.
"Water is an important resource, and on this island, we easily take for granted our accessibility to the quality of potable water," said William Kircher, vice president, Singapore Overhaul and Repair, and president, UTC Aerospace Singapore. "At Pratt & Whitney, we are committed to environmental sustainability - where we each must be responsible to be careful in our use of nature's resources and promote practices that reduce the environmental impact of our operations and daily living."
The mass walk was kicked off by the Singapore Minister for the Environment and Water Resources, Vivian Balakrishnan. At the end of the walk, participants launched the Singapore World Water Day celebrations with Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. Activities such as kayaking, dragon boating, cycling, mass walks and picnics were kicked off at 11 locations across the island. Among the highlights was a formation of a giant water droplet by more than 3,000 people. This day has special significance for Singapore, which has been identified as a water-scarce region.
Pledging to make every drop count, Pratt & Whitney and UTC identified several effective best practices to reduce water usage, and are working to implement them across all operations. The best practices include closed looping, low flow faucets and fixtures, rain water harvesting, cooling tower management, and, specific to Singapore, the utilization of NEWater in industrial processes. NEWater is Singapore's treated wastewater that has been further purified using microfiltration, reverse osmosis and ultraviolet technologies. The water is potable, but is used mostly for manufacturing applications.
By implementing these effective practices, Pratt & Whitney, Singapore operations reduced annual water consumption by more than 15 million gallons a year. With the latest facility addition this month at Seletar Aerospace Park in Singapore, the certified LEED Gold and Green Mark facility is piped to connect to NEWater, and will showcase many water conservation features, including low flow faucets and toilets, and closed looping of wastewater processes. Green Mark, similar to LEED criteria, is a building standard in Singapore intended to promote sustainability.
Pratt & Whitney demonstrates its leadership and commitment to sustainability year-round through its "People. Planet. Power." campaign, which reflects how our business decisions, innovative products and improvements in EH&S benefit employees, customers, the environment and the company's long-term outlook.
UTC's goal is to have 100 percent of factories in Singapore connected to NEWater, where available, by 2015. The use of NEWater and other effective water conservation practices will bring the total annual water usage reduction to more than 25 million gallons.
Currently, UTC operates in 19 locations in Singapore, employing more than 5,000 people.

Durham in Pristina - 1908
In 1908 Edith Durham, an English woman who had become deeply involved in Balkan affairs, travelled through northern Albania and Kosovo. Her book, High Albania, is a classic of the period, still in print and extraordinarily relevant even today. At the time Pristina was not the major town of Kosovo that it is today, and clearly she was not impressed by it. She arrived there by coach:
After barely an hour's drive over two low hills, we saw Prishtina below us, gay with red roofs, green trees, and white minarets. Within, it is frowsy, dirty, tumble-down - a shade better than Djakova, and that is all that can be said [… ].The population is mixed, and the statistics impossible to obtain, as every one gave different figures. There are about 2500 houses, of which about a quarter are Orthodox. Of these many are Vlahs, not Serbs. There are also a considerable number of Spanish Jews – some said as many as 200 houses, and there are no Roman Catholics at all. The bulk of the population is Moslem, mostly Albanian; probably some Moslem Serbs.
The bazar, partly roofed, but the roof all to pieces, was full of foreign rubbish of the cheapest description – one of the benefits of the railway. There was a sickening display of diseased meat in the butcher's quarter. The silver-workers here, as elsewhere, were all Christian. Of one – a Vlah from Monastir – I bought a charming little amulet, made of a mole's foot.
High Albania. Edith Durham. 2000.

Purple Lowry Bridge
Lowry bridge in Northeast Minneapolis lit up to memorialize the passing of Minnesota music legend, Prince on April 20th, 2017.
All of my prints are professionally printed and come with bright white acid-free matting. 5x7 prints are matted for an 8x10 frame, 8x10 prints are matted for an 11x14 frame, and 11x14 prints are matted for 16x20 frame. (All are common, easy to find frame sizes).
Gallery-wrapped canvas prints look great framed or unframed and lend to a more "painting like" appearance to the photo. These prints are produced right here in Minnesota and are of extremely high quality. They include a hanging wire and felt pads on the back and are ready to hang.
Metal prints are printed on a sturdy sheet of aluminum and are extremely high-quality pieces. They are ready to hang with attached brackets and appear to "float" 3/4" off the wall. They look absolutely beautiful. The vivid colors really pop on the metal background and provide a great "wow" factor. Metal prints may require an additional 3-5 days depending on availability and stock. If you've been to one of my shows, you've seen how vibrant these metal prints really are.
Watermark will not be present in printed image. I can also do some custom or alternate sizes, and different materials. Send me an email if interested in a different size or material

Professors voice concerns over registration for Obama rally
UW-Madison responds to letter
MADISON, Wis. — Three University of Wisconsin-Madison professors said students shouldn't have to register with the Obama presidential campaign to attend Thursday's rally.
Students are required to supply their phone number and email address to the Obama campaign and click "I'm In" in order to get a free ticket to the president's appearance at Bascom Hill.
Political science professors Donald Downs and Ken Mayer and law professor Ann Althouse sent a letter expressing their concerns to university administrators Wednesday.
Vice Chancellor Vince Sweeney said the university was simply trying to provide as much information as possible about the rally by putting the Obama campaign link on the university's website. Sweeney told the State Journal the school doesn't manage the Obama link and doesn't collect the information from it.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 90 diseños de 36 diseñadores freelance.
Sleek design needed for an upcomnig multiplayer Trivia site by the name of TriviaWorld.com
This contest not only has a nice reward, but winning it will also boost your portfolio as TriviaWorld.com is going to be BIG. Very BIG.
The website is going to use content similar to http://www.triviabox.com (multiplayer flash-based trivia); Feel free to sign up there for a free account and play a few free games to get a feel for the genre.
There is one big difference though. While http://www.triviabox.com targets the "play for cash" crowd, TriviaWorld will be a completely free, community based Trivia website with prizes and a worldwide trivia league. Also, it will feature Trivia games for specific topics such as NBA, NFL, MLB, TV, Movies and maybe even ultra-specific niches such as "The Simpsons Trivia".
- We're going to design the website around the logo, so there are very few constraints at this point.
- We don't want something childish or cartoonish. It should be cool, sleek, but yet somehow suited for a corporation. It needs to be instantly recognizable and support branding efforts, but also communicate to our business partners that we're very serious about our business.

This latest design from MoGo can be hidden away in the 54mm ExpressCard slot of your machine. When connected, it can be charged by your laptop so is always ready for use. The light indicator on the side informs you when it's charged and when it's connected. Using Bluetooth you'll need to pair it with your laptop, which in practice we found easy to do.
The design is small and looks like an ExpressCard, but with two mouse buttons and even scroll functions. The mouse also doubles as a media remote control unit, as there are on/off and mute buttons for your media player. This all adds to the overall functionality of the gadget.
This is a neat and easy-to-use device that we found extremely useful. While it's not the cheapest mouse on the market, it's certainly one of the most novel.

|The Peshtigo River - Where many ran to on the night of the fire in hopes their lives would be spared.
|Memorial stone at the Peshtigo River bridge
"This bridge crosses the river that has been the heart of the community since the founding of Peshtigo.
This river provides power for our commerce and daily lives. This river also protected some of our citizens who sought refuge in these waters during the great fire of Oct. 8th, 1871
The citizens of Peshtigo dedicate the bridge over the River In honor of those who have served and defended our country And those who protected, defended and rebuilt our community
From the embers of ruined hope, may the germs of virtuous industry spring, while nature in tears, weeping over the blackened funeral pile, shall plant, as the seasons come and go, fresh roses of Spring o'er the ashes of the dead.
The Marinette and Peshtigo Eagle
Saturday, October 14, 1871
Dedicated october 8, 2012"

R18+ games still not over the line in Oz
Feds sign off but States could set bar low, forcing more games into adults-only territory
Australia's national Parliament has passed laws creating a new R18+ rating for computer games, but just what will earn that rating is now up to the nation's nine States and Territories, all of which must pass their own legislation before gamers can enjoy currently-banned fare.
There's not much on the banned list, with just three titles deemed too nasty for local release in the last year.
Australia is, however, all-but alone among developed nations in not having an official rating for games deemed suitable only for purchase and play by those who have attained their legal majority.
Ron Curry, CEO of the Interactive Games & Entertainment Association (IGEA), welcomed the new federal law but says adoption by the States and Territories is far from certain, even though the national law was drafted with input from all Australian jurisdictions. "No-one has said anything to the contrary but some States are not pushing ahead as quickly as others," he told The Register.
Curry fears two scenarios, one of which is rejection of the classification by some States and Territories. That possibility is very real, as in New South Wales the government has recently made concessions to the Christian Democratic Party's platform to win votes it needed to pass its own policies. The Christian Democratic Party is opposed to an R18+ classification. If one State or Territory did not enact its own law, games would therefore be legal to sell in some Australian cities but not in others, a situation Curry feels would be massively inconvenient to the games industry, and frustrating for gamers.
The second scenario would see the States and Territories agree to laws implementing an R18+ classification, but lower the bar so that more games win the adults-only rating.
"You could get an R18+ classification that could look like an MA15+," Curry worried.
IEGA will therefore lobby hard in the three States – West Australia, Queensland and New South Wales – that it thinks have the greatest potential to cause problems.
Curry hopes those talks succeed and that "we can put this issue to bed, because that will leave us to talk about other more important stuff and not an issue that in this day and age should be irrelevant." ®

Grundfos engineers have developed a unique boiler feed system that does not require a feed valve and thus yields huge savings on installation and operation for customers.
The benefits and drawbacks of feed-valve controlled systems
In boiler feed systems via a feed valve (see Figure 1), the water level is controlled by the valve, which in turn is controlled by a level sensor positioned on the boiler. The feed valve controls the water intake, which is adjusted according to steam consumption. This, however, requires that the feed pump is set to 'continuous operation'.
"Undoubtedly, this system operates smoothly and has the benefit of being relevant to steam boilers of all sizes," says Søren Mortensen, Application Manager for Grundfos Industrial Solutions. "As the amount of water fed into the boiler is proportionate to steam consumption, the risk of over-boiling is minimal, and steam quality remains high due to a constant level in the boiler. A boiler feed via a feed valve with variable speed pumps offers the same advantages plus energy savings on pump operation."
"We thought about the system first and how to get rid of feed valves by using sensors within the system to control the pumps."
Søren Mortensen, Application Manager, Grundfos
However, Søren Mortensen identifies three significant drawbacks to these valve-controlled boiler feed systems:
• The feed valve is expensive to buy and maintain.
• Pressure loss across the feed valve means a larger feed pump is needed than would be necessary with a more efficient method.
• The necessary bypass means excess flow and it costs more money to pump that excess water.
"In more advanced and expensive installations, you add a valve on the bypass so that you can shut off the bypass when it's not necessary," adds Søren Mortensen. "This adds cost."
The direct approach
To address these issues, Grundfos took an intelligent, system-oriented approach as part of its iSOLUTIONS program.
"We developed the idea of direct feed by looking at the boiler as just an open tank with huge pressure that we had to maintain at a certain level," says Søren Mortensen. "We thought about the system first and how to get rid of feed valves by using sensors within the system to control the pumps."
The result was a streamlined system (see Figure 2) in which the water level in the boiler is controlled directly by means of variable speed pump without the use of a feed valve. A level sensor positioned on the boiler serves to control water intake according to steam consumption and a constant water level is thus maintained.
"As with feed valve-controlled systems, the valve-free set-up works efficiently with all types and sizes of boilers to minimise the risk of over-boiling," says Søren Mortensen. "However, while valve-controlled systems suffer from pressure loss across the feed valve, this problem is solved by the direct approach."
Valve-free savings
Most importantly for customers, the energy-efficiency gains and consequent financial savings of the valve-free solution are considerable as illustrated by the test data (see Figure 3).
"As we can see," says Søren Mortensen, "the loss of pressure across the feed valve means a boiler feed with this component requires far more power to run at the same level – in this example, 59,450 kWh compared to 32,095 kWh, or 85 per cent more."
Source: Grundfos
Consequently, the annual energy expenses with Grundfos direct boiler feed are shown to be 46% less than with a valve-controlled system. The cost of valve maintenance adds a further €1,000 per year to the cost of a boiler feed with a valve, raising total annual expenses to €3,972.50, more than double the yearly operational cost of direct boiler feed.
Indeed, the money saved in just one year with Grundfos direct boiler feed would cover the cost of buying the expensive (€1,500-€2,000) feed valve with electrical actuator for the valve-controlled boiler used in this experiment, as Søren Mortensen points out.
"How small a pump can be depends on pressure, flow and the mandatory safety factors, but with direct feed the pump will always be smaller than for a boiler feed with a feed valve."
Søren Mortensen, Application Manager, Grundfos
Cheaper installation
A boiler feed system without a feed valve and bypass means reduced installation costs.
"With direct feed, the pump will also be smaller than a pump with a feed valve because there is no pressure loss via the valve," adds Søren Mortensen. "How small a pump can be will depend on pressure, flow and the mandatory safety factors, but it will always be smaller with direct feed, and therefore cheaper.
"Installation costs vary across the world, but the higher the pressure, the more expensive the feed valve required. So when higher pressure is required, the savings will be even greater with direct feed."
Direct feed is not applicable when there are multiple boilers sharing a common feed line, though.
"The pump can only react to one sensor signal," explains Søren Mortensen. "This situation tends to arise with old factories – for instance, breweries, slaughter houses, dairies, etc. – who produced little steam when they started up, but as they grew they put in another boiler and then another connected to a single feed line. In these cases, we can supply a feed-valve solution. But wherever possible, we offer the direct feed system, which is far more efficient and cheaper to run."
For boilers with their own feed line, the advantages of Grundfos direct boiler feed are significant. Without a valve or bypass, a streatmlined system reduces installation and maintenance costs.
By eliminating the problem of pressure loss via the feed valve, one can use smaller, cheaper pumps, nearly halving the amount of energy required to power the pumps. These energy-efficiency gains mean a steep fall in annual operation costs.

I am interested in hearing any advice regarding my pain management and treatments regarding mid back pain that I have been having. I have had recurring back pain for decades and numerous x-rays, MRI's and cat scans over the years. Recently the mid back pain has become unbearable but there was no obvious incident that brought this pain on. I am very active and in good shape 5'10" 188lbs give or take. So in the beginning of February I went to my primary care DR who referred me to an ortho DR where I got an x-ray and he gave me a prescription of Hydrocodone 10's. I rationed them, only taking when I absolutely could not bear the pain and after 68 days I went back and told him I still was in intense pain so he refilled my hydro 10. I am fully aware of the opioid abuse going on these days and obviously I am not abusing these when I am taking 1 every 2-3 days when needed. I should add that this pain killer when taking like I am barely takes the edge off but I imagine if I took it as prescribed it would be more effective. So my first question is, "Am I wrong to think this way and only take a narcotic when absolutely necessary to ease the pain?" Second, I have been told by someone that Hydrocodone, even 10's are junk and that I should be taking something stronger to begin with. Can someone weigh in on that?
Another point I need to make is I have an incredibly easy office job where I am not tied to my desk. I get up frequently and walk around normally over 10K steps a day. I have good posture while sitting, standing, and walking. So after the 2nd refill of hydro I had to go back to the DR and in my mind, beg for more as I figured he would say he couldn't or wouldn't give me any more. I explained to his nurse I would gladly give a urine sample to show the amount of Hydro in my body is a fraction of what I could or maybe should have considering my pain level. He then told me he was not giving me enough for him to be concerned about me abusing it which really pissed me off because I am so stressed about this pain and the thought that I may have to deal with it. I'm sure some of you are thinking I'm and idiot and should just take the hydro as directed but I am stubborn. I don't want to take that much despite my pain level. So what is the alternative? Something stronger that will knock out my pain but I can only take 1 when the pain is just unbearable? As far as treatments I requested an MRI since the last one was over 2 years ago but despite telling my DR and pointing to the mid back where my pain is, getting 3 pain prescriptions over 3-4 months, when radiology called me to schedule the MRI they said the order was for the low back! Of course they would not change the area to image and told me I need to call the DR's office and have them correct the order. Am I wrong to be livid and considering changing DR's? Aside from still trying to get a solid diagnosis, I am also going to a chiropractor who has several spinal decompression machines. I would like to hear anyone's thoughts on this sort of treatment as well.

How to Use the Context
Inquiry Question
Early 19th-century politics was characterized by boisterous personalities, opposing interest groups, and ill-defined political parties. In the 1824 presidential election, all four candidates claimed the Democratic-Republicans as their party. Van Buren, then a U.S. senator, believed it was time for the renewal of the two-party system. By the 1828 election, Andrew Jackson, supported by Van Buren, was running under what would soon be called the Democratic party. The opposing party was known as the National Republicans.
Van Buren was a friend, trusted adviser, and vice president to Andrew Jackson during the latter's second term in office (1833-37). When he became president in 1837, Van Buren's own administration continued the policies of the new Democratic party established under "Old Hickory." The principles espoused by the young party, which Van Buren helped form, included states' rights, limited powers of federal government, and strict constitutional construction. The opposing party, the Whigs (formerly the National Republicans), were united by their disdain for Jacksonian policy and their approval of active government programs.
As soon as Van Buren took office, he faced a serious financial panic and depression. True to Jacksonian laissez-faire philosophy, Van Buren called for the creation of an independent treasury system that would separate the federal government from the banking system. The Independent Treasury Bill, passed in 1840, had no real impact on the economy, however. Furthermore, it alienated many of Van Buren's fellow Democrats.
In the 1840 election, Van Buren ran against the Whig candidate, William Henry Harrison, hero of the Battle of Tippecanoe. Rather than establishing a strong political platform, the Whigs ran a "hurrah" campaign in which they used symbolism and slogans to rally the people behind Harrison and against Van Buren. The image of Harrison in a log cabin sipping cider convinced voters that he was a man of the people. By contrast, the Whigs depicted Van Buren as an aristocrat living in high style in the White House while people were suffering from the depression. The enthusiasm for "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too," coupled with the country's severe economic crisis, made it impossible for Van Buren to win a second term.

Public Art Commission
The Public Art Commission was established in 1982 by the City of Colorado Springs and El Paso County. A 12-member all volunteer board, including two elected officials serving as liaisons from Colorado Springs City Council and El Paso County's Board of Commissioners, the Commission is charged with acting in an advisory capacity to evaluate, advocate, stimulate and facilitate matters of public art and culture.
Thanks to support from the State of Colorado's Creative Industries Peer Assistance Network (PAN), the Public Art Commission held a facilitated goal setting session in early 2011. In order to craft realistic goals with meaningful community impact, the Commission reviewed the identified priorities of COPPeR's community developed Cultural Plan (link to http://www.coppercolo.org/culturalplan/CulturalPlan2010.pdf), and surveyed 50 local arts and community leaders to solicit input on the work of the Art Commission prior to the goal setting session.
Public art came out as a top concern for the community, and so is a top goal for the Commission. The Commission is currently focusing on public art in two ways:
- promoting the more than 50 pieces currently in the Art in Public Places collection and located throughout the City of Colorado Springs and El Paso County, and
- working to get more art into public spaces and buildings, especially those outside of the downtown core.
How to Get Involved - Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
Attend a Meeting
The Public Art Commission meets monthly on the 3rd Tuesday of the month. Meetings begin at 4pm and are held on the 2nd floor of City Hall in the Pikes Peak Conference Room. Agendas for each meeting are posted online one week prior to the meeting.
Take a Virtual Tour of the Art in Public Places Program
Donate Work
With no dedicated funding in place for commissioning public art, the majority of pieces included in the Art in Public Places collection have been donated by private citizens and community organizations. If you are interested in donating a piece of artwork, please review the "Process for Accepting Loaned and/or Donated Artwork".
Join the Commission
A 12-member all volunteer board, the Commission reviews openings on an annual basis. Any open positions are posted here, and publicized by the City each spring. All Commission positions are appointed by the City of Colorado Springs Council.

Ordered some new rims and tyres for my Ford Courier last week. John went above and beyond to get a great price and also the right style, size and fitment for my fussy requirements. The wheels turned up fitted and balanced and looked a million bucks. I couldn't of asked for a smoother transaction and a better guy to deal with. Thanks a million.
Had been looking at wheels for ages wanting to get great look/fitment. Called up Autocraze and spoke to Mo, he was awesome. Knew his products and put my mind at ease about the fitment. So I got my wheels and tyres (for a great price!) and I'm super happy!
AutoCraze were absolute legends to deal with when I was buying my Speedy Outlaws. Delivery to Queensland was unbelievably quick! Had the wheels fitted within a week of first making contact. Highly recommend!
The fellas at Autocraze helped heaps with the new wheels! Ordered them online and they arrived at my door 2 days later!! Awesome work fellas, cheers for all the help! Will definitely shop here again
Found the boys at Autocraze, top of the class, needed some rims for my Mustang and Mo had it all sorted. Their after sales support was fantastic too, highly recommend the guys, they are true car enthusiasts and take their time with your rims and their machinery is world class!
Awesome service, great people to deal with. Very professional and delivery was quicker than expected.. Also the car looks great, couldn't be happier. Thanks guys.
Ordered some rims and tires from these guys. Shipped Friday arrived Monday, great to deal with over the phone and the product you order is everybit as good in person. Already recommended to several friends.


text: Cable operators Comcast and Time Warner plan to gather up $1.5 billion to $2 billion in order to get their own WiMax network going, and it's said that they would turn to Sprint to run the show. Now, I don't know what part of this plan makes sense to anyone else, but A) WiMax as a wide-area network technology isn't looking as hot in practice as it did in theory, and B) Sprint doesn't seem to be capable of running its own operation, let alone someone else's multi-billion-dollar baby. One thing is for sure, this move by the cable titans shows, like Dish Network's recent acquisition of some 700MHz spectrum, that everybody wants a piece of the wireless pie, even if they don't know exactly what to do with it.

Announcing the 2008 Winners
Three hundred children in grades K-3 throughout the state have been busy since January working on their own "canvas of imagination!" These young authors and illustrators sent their creative works to APT for contest judging in late March. Judges were noted children's author Charles "Father Goose" Ghigna; Steve Hannum, Provider Services Manager for The Literacy Council, and Jan McShan, the Early Childhood Education Program Specialist for Birmingham City Schools. First, second, and third place winners were chosen from each grade, with first-place stories going on to compete in the national contest. There were so many creative entries that the judges commented on how difficult it was to choose. Every young writer/illustrator who participated received a Certificate of Participation signed by Reading Rainbow's LaVar Burton.
All twelve winners received generous gift packages from APT and were recognized at a special awards ceremony held on April 19 at the Alabama Book Festival in Old Town Montgomery. During the celebration, the children were invited to read their winning stories to the audience. Following the ceremony, the children and their families enjoyed a luncheon at the historic Young House to continue the festivities.

MARINE CORPS SUPPORT FACILITY NEW ORLEANS -- Beginning Jan. 4, 2013, all non-deployed Marines and sailors assigned to Marine units, regardless of component, active or Reserve, will be required to wear the appropriate seasonal service uniform each Friday.
"Unlike the utility uniform, the service uniforms are form fitting, and this characteristic provides leaders with an opportunity to frequently evaluate the personal appearance of their Marines without inducing a work stoppage," said Sgt. Maj. Michael E. Sprague, senior enlisted advisor for Force Headquarters Group, Marine Forces Reserve.
The service B uniform, otherwise known as "bravos," consists of a long-sleeve khaki shirt with a tie and trousers and is worn November through March. The service C uniform, popularly referred to as "charlies," consists of a short-sleeve khaki shirt with trousers and is worn during daylight savings time.
"Watching Marines square their gig line away and adjust their uniform is indicative of the 'spit and polish' pride we seem to have strayed from," said Sprague.
Marines are not just known for their battlefield prowess, but for their high standards of professionalism and sharp personal appearance.
According to Marine Corps Order P1020.34G, all Marines, including Reservists, are required to maintain their uniforms in a neat and serviceable condition and "by their appearance, set an example of neatness and strict conformity" with uniform regulations. This means that Marines must not only abide by the proper wear of the uniform, but also pay attention to their personal and physical appearance and must fully comply with the service's grooming and weight control standards.
Commanders may make case-by-case exceptions to the wearing of service uniforms on Fridays based on operational requirements, but for the most part, the rule is service uniform Fridays.
Marines should direct questions to their unit leaders for further clarification on how their units will implement the new policy.

Over the last few years I have read many books while researching a book I one day plan to finish writing.
It stoked a keen interest in this country I call home. During my reading and in light of many claims of various cultures stating that THEY are the true people of these isles I have learned a little more of this land.
From what I understand the Celts are not native to these isles, but were just one of many invaders/settlers here. I believe that over the millenia the following people called this home:
3500BC Neolithic People (Original builders of Stonehenge?)
2000BC Beaker People (invaded and subjugated the Neolithic people, continuing and completing the work at Stonehenge).
This then led to further invasions by:
each of which saw some part remain and mix with the existing people. Even today this rich traditional continues.
Can anybody confirm, clarify or add to this? These are only what I understand and am very interested in learning more.
Thanks in advance
