Our wedding turned out to be above and beyond what we had both every expected! We would like to thank our parents, family, and friends and especially Bella for our lasting memories!"
Funny story about the wedding day: "One of the many highlights of our wedding day was when both the father of the bride and the father of the groom decided to celebrate our marriage and the Fourth of July by lighting off fireworks inside the reception hall. Their festivities were shortened when security had to step in and extinguish the firework show. Despite the mini firework show, guests continued to dance and celebrate the night away!!!"

This award recognizes distinguished scholarship as well as standout efforts in teaching and service.
Last week, The Journal of Undergraduate Science and Technology (JUST) — completely run by undergraduate volunteers — published its first issue.
One of the students making this possible is Noah Johnson, Editor of Content. Johnson is a junior studying physics and mathematics. He also performs physical chemistry research in the Ediger lab, where he studies the effect of aspect ratio on molecular orientation in organic semiconductor glass films. He is interested in pursuing a career in the research of solid state realizations of quantum information processors and also wants to teach at the university level. Other interests of his include Bob Dylan, the Beat Movement and 60's counterculture, Kurt Vonnegut, Woody Allen and French New Wave cinema, and corduroy pants.
In an effort to probe the first few moments of time after the Big Bang some 13.8 billion years ago, a consortium of researchers, including from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is planning a new observatory in Chile's Atacama Desert to measure the cosmic microwave background (CMB).
The $40 million initiative, known as the Simons Observatory, was announced today (May 9, 2016) and is being funded by major grants from the Simons Foundation and the Heising-Simons Foundation.
Five UW-Madison scientists have been honored as elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, two from the Physics Department.
Gary Shiu was elected "for pioneering contributions to string phenomenology and cosmology, for leadership in connecting fundamental theory to experiment, and for promoting basic science in the US and Asia."
Mark Eriksson was elected "for innovative and important contributions to the understanding and development of nanodevices for spintronics and quantum information processing applications."
Physics graduate student Richard Sayanagi has been selected as an L&S Teaching Fellow for 2016, in recognition of the high quality of his performance as a teaching assistant. He will be entrusted with helping train his teaching assistant colleagues at the College of Letters and Science's TA training program next September.
Past physics fellows can be found here: http://ls.wisc.edu/ta-fellows.html#physics
Scientists operating the High Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory (HAWC) presented a new survey of the sky using the highest energy gamma rays ever observed. "HAWC gives us a new way to see the high-energy sky," said Jordan Goodman, USA-spokesperson of HAWC.
Idris Boukahil has won the Barry Goldwater Scholarship. He was one of 252 to receive the scholarship out of 1,150 nominees. He plans to get a "Ph.D. in Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics. Lead a theory group modeling electronic properties of novel materials for organic electronics and teach at the university level".
The National Science Foundation announced on March 30, 2016 that it has renewed a cooperative agreement with the University of Wisconsin–Madison to operate IceCube. The five-year, $35 million award entails the continued operation and management of the observatory located at NSF's Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station. In 2013, the IceCube Collaboration reported the first detection of high-energy cosmic neutrinos, opening a new astronomical vista on the universe and on some of its most violent phenomena.
Undergraduate student Lauren Laufman-Wollitzer received a $4,000 grant from the UW Housing WISE (women in science and engineering) learning community to work in Prof. Cary Forest's lab to further the understanding of shock formation, propagation, and dissipation in astrophysical plasmas. Lauren will build a compact toroid injector to accomplish the experiments.

Demo Doubts
As I was going through some old trade show photos earlier this week, it dawned on me that a lot of the products I'd photographed and subsequently reviewed turned out to be quite different from what I'd been led to expect by the demo. Sometimes products that sounded amazing at a show didn't sound so great when I actually got a real production sample into my home. Sometimes products I had doubts about turned out to be real overachievers. Yet one photo made me realize that certain trade show demos can be accurate predictors of a product's performance.
The reasons why trade show demos so often don't reflect how a product really sounds are numerous. Everyone realizes that the acoustics of a trade show demo environment — usually a hotel room or a prefab sound room on a show floor — differ radically from those of a typical home. (Usually the acoustics at a trade show demo are much worse than those of the average living room.) And everyone realizes that the gear at a trade show is set up to its best advantage, and demonstrated with music or movies that show off the product's strengths and veil its weaknesses.
What you may not realize, though, is that the products demonstrated at trade shows often aren't as good as the ones you buy in a store. Sometimes the samples of new products you hear at a show are the only ones that exist. Often they're road-weary, beaten up from repeated shipping. I've known of a few instances of manufacturers finishing work on a prototype in the morning and shipping it out for the show that afternoon, then flying out to the show the next day.
Dealer demos — an increasingly rare treat as more and more audio gear is sold online — can also present an inaccurate representation of a product's capabilities. As at a trade show, the acoustical environment is different, although it's likely to be a lot better than at a show and — if it's a top-notch dealer — probably better than in your home. The dealer will certainly at least start the demo with material that flatters the gear he or she is trying to sell you.
But a photo (above) from the CanJam section of the recent Rocky Mountain Audio Fest reminded me that some trade show and dealer demos can give you an accurate portrayal of a product performance. I'm currently in the middle of a test of several over-the-ear headphones for the print version of Sound+Vision, and I've been surprised and heartened to hear how closely my impressions of these headphones square with what I heard at RMAF.
It shouldn't come as a surprise, though. Headphones aren't like speakers and amps; they're more the product of mass production, and thus harder to piece together at the last minute for a trade show demo. Once you slip those 'phones on, the environment doesn't much matter. Sure, if you're listening to open-back headphones, some noise from the show can intrude on your demo, but by and large it's just your ears and the headphones. (Besides, the floor at CanJam was eerily quiet.) Even if the bozo next to you wants to gab with the manufacturer while you're listening, it's not much of a problem.
So while trade show and dealer demos can give you a rough indication of what a product might sound like, you really don't know until you get it into your home. Unless, of course, it's a set of headphones.

Three months after Achillion Pharmaceuticals Inc. said it had enough cash to operate through the middle of 2014, it has decided to issue another $125 million worth of stock.
The shares are to be offered at $8.40, and the company's proceeds are expected to be $118.5 million.
The stock was selling for $9.53 just before the announcement after the close of market Thursday, and immediately fell 12 percent. The new stock offering dilutes the value of current stockholders. Since then, the price has recovered somewhat, and closing price Friday was $8.86.
Achillion had $77.4 million of cash on hand at the end of 2012. The company expects to spend nearly $60 million in 2013, as it expects to burn 20 percent more cash compared to 2012 for operations, mostly on research and development.
The company is not allowed to discuss why it is seeking more capital, because there is a quiet period before a public offering of stock.
Achillion is doing trials of drugs that would treat Hepatitis C with pills, rather than the intravenous drugs now used that have significant side effects.
Gilead, a more established biotech firm based in California, is further along with the same strategy, and announced this month that since it had positive results from four phase 3 trials, it plans to file for FDA and European drug approvals before the end of June.
Achilllion estimates it will make similar filings in 2015.
CEO Michael Kishbauch told analysts Thursday that Achillion is one of the five most important drug companies in Hepatitis C development, and, he said: "Case can easily be made, we believe, for top three, with the others all being large household names in contrast to this modestly sized company up here in New Haven, Connecticut. This, of course, puts us in an interesting position as regards to upside potential for the company and its shareholders."
Achillion's stock has traded between $5.42 and $11.36 in the last year, and is down nearly 18 percent from a year ago.

The Janesville Education Association applauded a unanimous decision by the school board this week to scrap a system that tied teacher compensation to the state's Educator Effectiveness program. The system had been put in place over teachers' strong objections, and the board has now concluded that it has been ineffective, created large amounts of paperwork and discouraged teachers from taking innovative approaches to education.
Following this week's school board action, a group of administrators, teachers and others will meet to develop a new system for determining pay raises.
"The JEA applauds the current school board for untying Educator Effectiveness and teacher compensation," said Janesville Education Association President Dave Groth, a science teacher at Janesville Parker High School. "The JEA's goal was to work with the district to create a teacher compensation system that attracted and retained the best teachers for the students in Janesville's schools. Despite the JEA's objections, the district administration and school board insisted on trying a 'merit' pay system that incorporated the Educator Effectiveness evaluation system. Educator Effectiveness was not designed to be linked to compensation, and history tells us that so-called merit pay does not work in education."
Groth said the JEA looks forward to working collaboratively with school district administrators and board members "to create a teacher compensation system that is fair, predictable and rewards loyalty to the district and professional development to ensure the children in Janesville school district have the best professional educators."
"We also look forward to a transition to a new system that makes sure all teachers are treated fairly," Groth said.

Green Knights Split at Carthage
From Sports Information Director, April 6, 2014 | Softball
by Dan Lukes, firstname.lastname@example.com, (920) 403-4077
KENOSHA - St. Norbert College salvaged a doubleheader split at Carthage College, losing the opener 2-0 before rallying to take the nightcap 4-2 in a pair of non-conference games at Carthage Softball Field.
The Green Knights (5-10) trailed 2-0 in the fourth inning when JoAnna Ruppa and Abby Gildernick singled. Codi Jenshak then ripped a three-run home run to left field to give St. Norbert a 3-2 lead.
St. Norbert picked up an insurance run in the fifth inning when Jessica DeMeuse's RBI single scored Tayler Long.
Brianna Byrne picked up her first win, allowing three hits and no earned runs in a complete-game effort. Byrne struck out four and walked four.
In the opener, the Green Knights couldn't solve Lady Reds pitcher Katie Herron, who twirled a five-hit shutout. She walked two and struck out five.
Morgan Rusch took the loss, allowing two runs in the first inning. She scattered 10 hits with one walk and two strikeouts. Jenshak was 2-for-3 with a double for the Green Knights.

Editor's note: This article was adapted from a news release that was recently distributed to the media.
While creationist organizations like Answers in Genesis strongly disagree with Charles Darwin's ideas about all of life evolving from a single organism (macro-evolution), his theory of natural selection actually meets with more widespread acceptance as it relates to how species adapt and change over time—but, as we observe in nature, only within their own kind. Such changes, however, and as we point out frequently on this website, are not evolution in the "molecules-to-man" sense.
The Creation Museum here in our Cincinnati area (in northern Kentucky) will open a new exhibit this Sunday, March 15, to help explain what natural selection can and cannot do, and how this is supported biblically and scientifically.
"Evolutionists use natural selection as evidence for evolution, believing that given enough time (millions of years), natural selection could account for the larger changes required for molecules-to-man evolution," museum founder and president Ken Ham explains. "Our new exhibit will clear up the differences between natural selection and what would be required for evolution to occur in the molecules-to-man sense—for example, reptiles to birds—as one kind of animal turns into a totally different kind."
The exhibit, entitled "Natural Selection is Not Evolution," includes an aquarium that resembles a real cave. This cave aquarium will feature live blind cavefish, showing how natural selection allows organisms to possess characteristics most favorable for a given environment—but again, it is not an example of evolution in the molecules-to-man sense.
There is also a series of wall displays with professionally produced models that examine, among other things, antibiotic-resistant bacteria (which are commonly cited as an example of "evolution in action"). Instead, the Creation Museum exhibit will point out how antibiotic resistance in bacteria points away from macro-evolution, rather than toward it. The new display also contrasts evolution's "tree of life," showing that all organisms have descended from one single-celled creature, with the "Creation Orchard," which illustrates the family tree of each original kind of created plant or animal life of Genesis chapter 1.
A display entitled "Three Blind Mice" will show the devastating effects of mutation and how natural selection works to preserve animal kinds. A dog skull display will demonstrate how natural and artificial selection has led to variation within the dog kind. The exhibit will also include a mounted display of Darwin's finches based on Darwin's own studies and observations from the Galápagos Islands.
The new exhibit is located near the museum's popular presentation regarding the geologic evidence for a global Flood. Its proximity to the Flood geology room in the museum was deliberate, as this exhibit also lays the groundwork to understand how Noah could fit representatives of all the animal kinds (not species) on the Ark.
"I think one of the reasons evolutionists give creationists such a hard time is that they don't think we believe in good science, which we absolutely do. In fact, we have several full-time staff with earned doctorates. I've read and heard many news reports and columns stating that creationists don't believe in natural selection, and that is simply not true," Ham said. "Our new exhibit will help to explain these valid theories and show that we agree with the proven science of these processes. Most people don't realize that speciation is not evolution—it has nothing to do with changing one kind of animal (e.g., fish) into a totally different kind of animal (e.g., amphibian)."
Ham continued, "Our area of disagreement with the evolutionists comes when they start using bad science to state that natural selection could eventually lead from one plant or animal kind changing into another, finally making the leap to humanity." Not only is this in direct contradiction with the Bible, which states that God created all the various kinds of plant and animal life, including humans, but it also has no scientific validity.
"Many Christians are surprised when they learn that valid observational science confirms the biblical accounts of creation and Noah's Flood," Ham added. "Our mission at Answers in Genesis and the Creation Museum is to spread that message in order to uphold all of Scripture and therefore reach non-believers with the gospel, which is based in this history in Genesis."
The exhibit opens as the secular science world has been celebrating Darwin's 200th birthday this year, plus the 150th anniversary of the publication of his famous book On the Origin of Species.

The destruction and deterioration of habitats as a result of land-use change (e.g. intensification of agriculture, use of pesticides and herbicides, loss of countryside due to relentless building of new houses and industrial estates, changes in woodland management, land drainage and river dredging) are considered to be the prime cause of long-term decline of butterflies and other wildlife right across the UK.

It's a busy lunch-time crowd on the campus of University of California San Diego, but the students standing in line at Subway could jump to the front with a text message.
The on-campus Subway is using a new system that let's customers text in their sandwich order before they arrive, then simply pay at the counter and go. The system is being tested at Subway shops in San Diego, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and Bakersfield.
"Right now we're averaging about 10 to 15 orders, but it is taking off," said store owner Raghu Marwaha. "We have a feeling that in locations like these, where you have a large crowd waiting for their sandwich, it will take off very soon."
When you consider that the average person texts 15 to 20 times a day, it sounds like a no-brainer to offer the service.
Local news from across Southern California
For a small business, texting eliminates phoning in orders, which means customers don't have to wait for someone to answer the phone, according to Ford Blakely, the founder of Zingle, the company offering the texting order system.
"It takes away the frustration of making sure they heard your order and taken down your order correctly," Blakely said.
Zingle, based in San Diego, was born out of Blakely's desire to get his caffeine faster in the morning.
"I figured there had to be an easier way to kind of pre-order my coffee so it was ready for me, it was hot and I didn't have to wait," he said.
Once the customer sends the text, it's printed out behind the counter and the customer gets a confirmation.
Who's using it? Blakely said the early adopters are the younger generations, of course, but some customers well in their 60's text too.
"It's catered to the customers that frequent the same restaurants," he said. "They know what they want. They can save their order in their phone very easily, fire it in."
San Diego is a test market for the system. Right now, Subway and some bagel and smoothie stores are using Zingle.
Marwaha said the system is already proving successful.
"As a matter of fact, we've had call-in orders for a number of years and have not produced the results that this is producing," he said.
Already text orders have surpassed phone orders at other stores, according to Blakely -- a sign of the times that when you're hungry, a text is as good or better than a phone call.

NEW YORK (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – Afghanistan needs more female judges and prosecutors to improve women's access to justice, a report released this week said.
A survey by the International Development Law Organization (IDLO) found that in 2013 women made up just over 8 percent of the country's judges, 6 percent of prosecutors and less than one fifth of lawyers. Afghan society's strict segregation of the sexes, combined with the shortage of female staff, means that women find it hard to report abuse or injustices because they fear and are intimidated by a justice system dominated by men.
"Afghanistan's perennial struggle with gender violence, discrimination and marginalization will not be won until investments in women – their freedom, their education, their academic and professional opportunity – match those in men," IDLO Director-General Irene Khan said in a statement.
Despite improvements in the justice sector since the end of Taliban rule in 2001, Afghanistan is still short of qualified legal professionals and women remain heavily underrepresented, the IDLO said.
One in 10 Afghan women experience abuse, and last year there was a 28 percent increase in reports of violence against women. Some prominent female politicians and members of the police were killed in what many believe is a resurgence of the Taliban, which wants to re-impose sharia (Islamic law) in the troubled country.
"We are living in a society in which women face violence, almost daily," one woman said in the report. "In order to provide justice for women and victims, women should be recruited to the justice and judicial sector."
The IDLO study also pointed out that the majority of women in the legal field are working in the capital Kabul, in sharp contrast with the countryside where fewer than one in 30 prosecutors are women.
There are many reasons for the shortage of female legal professionals and for their patchy distribution across the country.
Some of them – practical problems such as the lack of safe transport and accommodation when women attend law school or sharia (Islamic law) faculties, and the availability of compulsory training only in major urban centres which may be impossible to reach for many rural Afghan women - could be addressed fairly easily, the report said.
Others are obstacles that are deeply entrenched in Afghanistan's patriarchal and conservative society - social pressures, sexist attitudes and the belief that women's rightful place is in the family home, doing their duty as wives and mothers.
While the number of female students enrolling in legal education has increased sharply in recent years, women are still underrepresented in law schools, only a small group of female graduates will end up practising law, and both law schools and sharia faculties have few women teachers, the study said.
"Improving women's ability to work in justice institutions is essential – not only to ensure that women enjoy democratic freedoms and equality of opportunity in the workplace, but also to ensure that the specific interests of women are represented and advanced in justice institutions," Khan said.
After years of Taliban rule during which women had virtually no rights, women have started to join the labour force again in "impressive" numbers, the IDLO said.
But 62 percent of women surveyed by the organisation said that women face many obstacles when working in the justice sector, among them a deteriorating security situation which is likely to worsen once international troops withdraw from Afghanistan at the end of the year.
"The government elected in April must prioritize and secure women's participation in the justice sector by taking simple, low-cost steps that will help secure a peaceful and prosperous future for the nation," Khan said.

In tough times, people keep their old cars alive through elbow grease, spare parts and know-how. This Hyundai Tiburon owner applied super glue, speaker wire and plastic sheeting in combinations so unfortunate his mechanic saved the sight for posterity.
The Tiburon only fell under a tradesman's gaze because the owner had a brake rotor he couldn't install himself - one that had been salvaged from a junkyard. I just hope before this Tiburon finally meets the crusher someone saves the sweet air bag cozy. It's like FlairHair for your steering wheel.

Great Experience
" It was realiaty a great experience, there is coffee, there are cookies, they have water and they keep bathrooms and the building totally clean. The team of professional and friendly people. Bilingual people properly trained ... thanks for that excellence. Por favor Toyota Baytown no cambien. Rev. Julio Barquero "
35 Minutes
" I have always had a great experience with this dealership. Everyone is beyond nice and they exceed their customer service. I scheduled my 10k service and I was in and out in 35 minutes!!! "
Stress Free
" I came up to Community Toyota and met with Jennifer, she was incredible! She knew exactly what I was looking for and for what I wanted to pay. Chris in finance was quick, had everything ready for me and answered all my questions. The whole process was quick and stress free and I plan on visiting them when my husband is ready to upgrade to a truck. "
The Best Dealership in Town
" I usually don't leave reviews but just wanted to pop on here and say excellent customer service! The entire ordeal was good from the beginning to end. We had no luck at Tejas Toyota in humble but Community in Baytown kept working with us on the numbers until we were happy! And not to mention they helped us get us out of our old car we thought we were going to be stuck in for a long time!! If you are looking to find a good place to go to I highly recommend them they don't give you the "run around". And you don't have to play cat & mouse with the finance manager the whole time just to end up disappointment because you wasted 5 hours like most dealerships! Darren gave us excellent customer service! & Carlos the finance guy was great at getting us a deal that sounded realistic! The best Dealership in town! "
Better Than Last Time
" My experience with Community this time was even better than last time! Jacob McCartney was by my side every step of the way. He spent hours with me on a few separate occasions helping me to find the perfect vehicle at the perfect price for my budget. He didn't get aggravated with my many requests nor did he wear down on his ambition to ensure I was happy with my purchase. He listened to everything I liked and disliked on the vehicles we tested. Thank you, Jacob, for your patience, assistance, and support! Looking forward to working with you again! Community, you definitely have a keeper! "
" My experience at Community Toyota was EXCEPTIONAL. The staff is outstanding. Very professional and they treat you like a member of the family "
" The sales lady that handled my purchase was very courteous and up front on what the dealership had to offer. She was completely honest on the price, discount and financing. She went out of her way to make sure I understood what each charge represented. Every question that I had was answered in detail. She also made follow up calls to make sure I was happy with my purchase. This was a welcome change from the other dealership sales tactics. Kudos "
Something Amazing
" Thanks to David Turkelson and David Boone for putting me in something amazing "
Dream Car Dream Experience
" I just left Community Toyota with only the second new car I have ever purchased (and also my dream car!!) and want to thank all of the people I worked with at this dealership. Darren Mooney was the first person to help me and I met him the day before I actually intended to buy. I stopped by the dealership, just to take it a look at the car- which they'd already pulled up in the garage for me, ready to go. I must admit, I really appreciated that because I was clear I knew exactly what car I wanted and Community was the only dealer I could find in greater Houston that had one. Darren assured me that they would hold the vehicle for me since I wouldn't be ready to sign all the paperwork and do all the financing business until today. With two kids in tow, I went in shortly after 9am and both Darren and Casey McGinn assisted in the whole process leading up to financing. I can't speak to how the process might go for someone who is undecided on vehicle/options/etc. but NO part of my interactions felt inauthentic or salesy, which I know most people dislike. I knew exactly what I wanted and I knew exactly what I wanted to pay. It pays to do your research, but I'm sure these gentlemen would be incredibly helpful to anyone, even if they were undecided. Everything got squared away rather quickly and my kids and I were in Carlos Garcia's office in no time for financing. And yet again, this process couldn't have been smoother. Carlos was knowledgeable, personable and didn't once try to up-sell me. He really listened to where I needed to be, payment wise, and was able to nail it. I expected to spend my entire day at the dealership, and was prepared to, but it took virtually no time in comparison to first time I bought a car (different dealership, different credit and financial circumstances for me!) Once that was squared away, Darren went over the TONS of options on my car and I'm sure he would have been able to answer any questions I might have had, but I'm a big nerd and will end up watching a bunch of youtube videos and just playing with the options on my own. I couldn't have been happier with the entire experience. I honestly didn't want to drive to Baytown (I live just east of downtown and there are about 3 Toyota dealerships between myself and them), but it was totally worth it. And as a note to Darren and Casey: y'all should probably continue selling cars as a duo because your dynamic is great! "
Great experience from start to finish!
" Great experience from start to finish! Ms. Jennifer listened to us and worked with us to find exactly what we needed! Even my credit union liked this dealer ship! They told us to keep this dealership forever! "
Made Me Feel Secure
" I am beyond exited and humbled with the service I had today, JUANITO was great he answered all my questions, made me feel like family. I was able to walk away with my dream car and was able to get everything I was looking for including the price. Compared to the service I had gotten at a Ford dealership an hour earlier, community Toyota really made me feel secure about what I was buying. Juanito was awsome and I hope with all my heart that more people ask for him. He is defenately the BEST!!! Duron family. "
No Pressure
" I can't give enough praise and thanks to Casey and the team at Community Toyota for making a huge decision so easy! I called ahead of time to make sure a vehicle was still available, Casey answered my phone call and assured me that it was still there and that he would stay to meet me. When I arrived he was very prompt, extremely helpful and personable, and showed me all the specs on the vehicle I was looking at with ease. Throughout the night, he kept me informed of all the things I needed to be aware of, and helped me get the best deal possible - without making me feel like I was being pressured. In the end, Carlos G. was gracious and very kind, making sure I understood all the paperwork and answering any questions I had, and ultimately making sure I had peace of mind when I left with the vehicle. Again, the team at Community Toyota is awesome, very kind, and I highly recommend talking with Casey when looking for a new vehicle. Thank you - thank you - thank you!! "
" This place is awesome. Darren went above and beyond to help us out of a bad situation. The finance guy Damion fought for us to get a lower interest rate. We had spent several days dealing with shady dealerships and had almost given up. Thank you to the community family, you have earned a lifelong customer. "
Most Enjoyable Experience
" I just have to say this was the most enjoyable experience I have had buy a vehicle. Casey was awesome. He was upfront about things he stayed in contact with me the whole time with up dates.He did what he said he would do. When I did get my vehicle he made sure I new all the features on it and told me to call if I had any issues. Carlos was great .He went through all my options and explained them so I could understand perfectly what I was getting . Thank you both so much. "
Outstanding Experience
" Every visit to Community Toyota is an outstanding experience---all staff members are friendly and professional! Service Department always treats me like I'm a valued customer--more like a friend and service performed is always excellent. They go out of their way to be fair (like telling me that the price I had been quoted was higher than it should have been). Mike Parker was great during my most recent experience. Also, Carlos who handles financing, etc., took time to research maintenance plans available to me when my extended warranty expires. I've spoken with him multiple times since I purchased my current vehicle--a Rav 4 and he's always been so kind, knowledgeable and professional--giving me however much time I needed without making me feel rushed, etc. Also, during my last visit the receptionist was exceptionally helpful--(sorry I didn't ask for her name). I plan to continue to have my vehicle serviced at Community Toyota and will work with Community Toyota when I'm ready to purchase my next vehicle. "
Phenomenal Experience
" Phenomenal Experience!! I needed a car ASAP and Casey McMinn worked rapidly to help me get one the day I stepped on the lot. Casey listened to what I needed and helped me find the perfect car for me. Casey made what can be a stressful ordeal, a smooth and enjoyable experience. I have recommended Casey and Community Toyota to all my friends! "
Best Dealership
" This is the best dealership I have been to. They are trustworthy and professional. I needed to find my Mother a car. I was sent to Community Toyota. I can't believe how nice and courteous they were. I found the perfect car for her and got a great deal. Then it was time for my fiancé to get a vehicle. Again I went through the same sales lady, Carrisa, who was awesome again. She was so professional and nice. We got an amazing deal. Thank you Carrisa. My Mom is ecstatic and my fiancé is exceptionally pleased. We will be back. I highly recommend coming here. They are great! Thank you Community Toyota. "
Enjoyable Experience
" My husband and I came to Community Toyota, in Baytown to buy a car 3 years ago and ended up leasing a fantastic Rav4 . We met the most enthusiastic man who helped us through the process ..Mr. Mooney loves Toyota! When our lease came near ending we returned to Darren Mooney. We were ready to buy a new car. Darren showed us cars, colors, and got us just what we were looking for. The purchase process went smoothly. Everyone was very friendly, making the whole experience enjoyable. After, Darren helped get my new Rav 4 (2019) set up with my phone, and explained how to use the various features in the car. I would be more than happy to recommend this dealership to my friends and family. I am especially grateful to Darren Mooney. I was nervous going into this process, but he made it an enjoyable experience. Thank you all. "
" Purchased a new 2020 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off-road for my wife. We had been waiting for months for the new model to arrive and as soon as the vehicle we wanted was available we were immediately contacted by the sales team at Community Toyota... Much to our surprise, the new model arrived earlier than we had anticipated!!! The complete buying experience was seamless from the beginning to the end. Not once did we feel pressure and everyone there was very accommodating to needs and wants. I am not usually one to take the time to sit down and write a review, however after this car buying experience I felt I needed to give the entire staff recognition for making us feel like we were the most important customer they had ever had. Community Toyota offered us a competitive price on our new 4Runner as well as top dollar for my wife's trade in. I am typically the type to walk out of a dealership several times before I feel that I am getting the absolute best price and best financing... NOT this time!! They made us an offer up front that was more than fair and I never felt the need to "shop elsewhere" before buying. Great job to all the staff for making our new car buying experience the best we have ever had!! I would definitely recommend visiting Community Toyota if you are in the market to purchase a vehicle! Great atmosphere, great employees, and most of all a great overall car buying experience!!! Thanks so much... we love our new 4Runner!!! Thank you for your five star review! "
" The sales team was awesome! Everyone was laid back and not pushy at all. The whole process went smoothly. "

The Super Bowl Ad: The Census Bureau Responds To MyTwoCensus QuestionsThursday, February 4th, 2010
MyTwoCensus.com has received a fair share of e-mails from Americans who are all asking the same question: Why did the Census Bureau choose to purchase a multimillion dollar Super Bowl advertisement? Census Bureau spokesman Stephen Buckner has responded to this and other related questions below:
Questions from Stephen Robert Morse, Founder/Editor of MyTwoCensus.com: Whose idea was it to air an ad for the Census Bureau during the Super Bowl? Who chose Christopher Guest as the director of the ad? Who chose which specific ad or ads will run? Which ad or ads will run? Were there ever focus groups to see how effective the ads were? If so, where and when did these focus groups take place? What were the results of these studies?
Answers from Stephen Buckner, Assistant Division Chief, Decennial Programs, Public Information Office:
The essential challenge for the Census is that because it happens only once
every ten years, many U.S. residents are unaware of when it happens (in
March) and how they participate (by mail). Our own research in late 2009
showed less than 10% of Americans surveyed correctly answered that the 2010
Census occurred in March.
The first goal of our promotion efforts is to
raise awareness of the when and how the Census works. We have a very
limited window of opportunity to achieve our goals Jan – April, and
therefore need programming that delivers high ratings. The 2000 Census
paid advertising campaign also had a Super Bowl ad for just this reason.
The Super Bowl is the top-rated and most highly anticipated television
event in the U.S. An ad running once in the Super Bowl has the potential
to reach 45% adults over age 18. For comparison, CSI which is one of the
top rated programs on television delivers a 6.6 rating with adults, which
is a fraction of the reach of the Super Bowl. A 30 second spot on the
top-rated regularly scheduled show in America, American Idol costs $450,000
and has a 9.5 rating, or just 9.5% of adults are watching. The Super Bowl
reaches 100 million viewers at a very efficient price compared to other
The Super Bowl is rare, in that viewers are just as tuned in to see the
commercials as the program itself. Commercials that air on the Super Bowl
have a multiplier effect. Advertisers are mentioned in multiple news media
outlets and viewers will typically look to view them online almost
immediately after airing. Therefore, airing once in the Super Bowl creates
significant buzz leading to additional viewing potential.
Our media buy with CBS consists of (1) 30 second ad in the 3rd Quarter.
CBS provided added value in the form of (2) more 30 second ads in the
pre-game show and an additional (2-3) 12-second vignettes featuring James
Brown delivering a message on behalf of the Census. We believe the message
delivered by James Brown who is the host of the day, will carry great
weight with viewers.
We did not choose the Super Bowl itself for an ad, or at the expense of
some other programming. We went where the audience was to be found, and
CBS put the Super Bowl into their proposal for all Census ad dollars, along
with the NCAA finals and other high profile programming. NBC similarly
offered us special programming for advertising during the Olympics.
We did conduct focus groups and other research for all of our paid
advertising concepts in 2009, including the concept of a "Snap Shot of 300
million Americans" which became the ads being directed by Christopher
Guest. They tested very positively. We conducted a total of 115 focus
groups in 37 markets cities across the United States for all our
advertising, television, radio, print, digital and out door.
The first ad in the series is currently airing and will also air during the
Super Bowl pre-game. A new will air during the game, but if we told you
what it was all about, it would spoil all the suspense. While we reply on
the professional expertise and advice of our expert advertising
contractors, the Census Bureau is responsible for these ads and their
Finally, Super Bowl advertisers see a significant lift in internet searches
which is a great opportunity for Census to drive traffic to 2010census.gov
to further educate viewers on the Census.

Jenkins, the longtime Washington Post writer, is one of Summitt's best friends. She discloses that in her piece, which you should read now.
An excerpt:
Now she will need a different kind of counterintuitive strength. Surrender and acceptance have never come naturally to her, nor has admitting vulnerability. She has trouble even uttering the word Alzheimer's. But she's learning.
"We sat down and had a good talk, and realized that the only reason we even made it this far, was that we had each other," Tyler says. "It started with her father passing away, and then the divorce, and the arthritis, and then the Alzheimer's, and each of those things, I don't know how anyone could go through them alone. So we figured out that as much as we wanted to be Superman and Wonder Woman, and take care of things alone, we needed each other."
With acceptance has come relief—and, thanks to treatment, apparent improvement.
Every morning she reads, or studies math problems on flash cards. Each night she spends hours working on her iPad, doing puzzles to improve her cognitive abilities.

In Mike Cahill movies, bad things happen to good people, and other good people are guilt-ridden as a result. But the human connections and the spare sci-fi logic that characterized "Another Earth," Cahill's ethereal romantic dramatic debut, are muddied in "I Origins."
It is, in fact, logic that weighs this film down. While "Another Earth" floated the idea of a parallel universe and a second chance at life and love within its tragedy, "I Origins" uses its misfortune to contemplate evolution and spirituality against a shaky romantic tableau.
Michael Pitt stars as Dr. Ian Gray, a hipster molecular biologist studying the eye, specifically the iris, as individualistic as a fingerprint. When he's not in the lab, he's out snapping photos of eyes, which provide some of the film's more compelling visuals. The iris close-up is a kaleidoscope of shapes and colors. It's metaphorically where the film draws its name.
The conflict turns on Gray's research. He seems as intent on proving to others as reassuring himself that evolution is responsible for the world as we know it. What happens when Gray's certainty is shaken becomes grist for the spiritual mill Cahill is grinding.
On the romantic front, Gray is torn between two women, a flighty model named Sofi (Astrid Berges-Frisbey) and a serious researcher, Karen, played by Brit Marling, who starred in and co-wrote "Another Earth" with the filmmaker.
If those descriptions don't make it clear, the women are not only polar opposites, they fit all the usual female cliches. Marling's scientist even wears black horned-rimmed glasses, so she must be serious. Sofi is enchanting, and Berges-Frisbey is lovely in the role. The bohemian life Sofi favors at first excites the more reserved scientist, then soon exhausts him.
A terrible thing happens to change the course of their relationship. It's gruesome, but not shocking in the way the filmmaker intends, which is to say, not shocking at all.
From that point, "I Origins" and its guilt lurches forward in increasingly desperate ways.
The story picks up seven years later. Gray is married to Karen, and they have a toddler who may have autism. The tests for their son eventually circle back to Gray's work and Sofi's memory in eerie ways. It also sparks another, and very different, round of research for the scientist. The answer lies in the startling blue eyes of a New Delhi street urchin named Salomina (Kashish). Do Salomina's eyes speak of evolution, reincarnation, a random anomaly? By this point you may not care.
On the face of it, tackling the warring sides of science and the spirit seemed a good fit for the writer-director, who continues to be drawn to existential themes. There are occasional flashes of the exceptional, but the film's dodgy story can't sustain them.
The camera work and polish of the film, however, shows that given a little bigger budget, Cahill can put beautiful images on screen. Working with cinematographer Markus Forderer, production designer Tania Bijlani and costume designer Megan Gray, Cahill gives "I Origins" a distinctive retro-hip look.
Meanwhile, Marling continues to get better. After the Sundance coming-out party for "Another Earth" in 2011, the actress had another breakthrough performance as the overly smart executive questioning her hedge-fund father played by Richard Gere in "Arbitrage" (2012). Marling does smart and sophisticated extremely well, she's just underemployed here.
Pitt brings a kind of bruised moodiness to Gray that makes his particular existential crises provocative. That sensibility shades much of the actor's work, like the sexy American student sucked into a Paris intrigue in Bernardo Bertolucci's "The Dreamers." The "Boardwalk Empire" folks understood exactly what to do with that ethos. Pitt was gripping as a driven, rising young gangster in the acclaimed HBO series until Steve Buscemi's Nucky brought him down in Season 2.
In this case, the material fails the actor. Pitt's conflicted scientist should have been far more conflicted, and the dialogue should definitely have been better. Instead the actor is left to make lines like "but I'm a doctor" resonate with either meaning or outrage depending on the moment, when the moment called for so much more.

Many mountain bikers from Southern California venture out to the trails of the Southern Sierras. Places like Freeman Creek Trail, Quaking Aspen, Camp Nelson and other areas have been enjoyed by off-road cyclists for many years.
The Sequoia National Forest is currently accepting public comments on the Giant Sequoia National Monument draft Environmental Impact Statement, which includes several Management Alternatives. This Draft Environmental Impact Statement (draft EIS) describes six alternatives that would amend the 1988 Sequoia National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan to manage the Giant Sequoia National Monument. The draft EIS document will implement President Clinton's 2000 Proclamation which established the Monument.
Of the six management alternatives presented, Alternative C could result in a ban for mountain bikes on trails in the Monument, while Alternative D would limit mountain bikes to existing trails without any future expansion. Dispersed camping and other activities are also adversely affected. The remaining options allow for most current trails to be grandfathered in, with varying degrees of flexibility for trail use designations.
We prefer Alternative B, which allows for existing bicycle use and future expansion of recreational opportunities. Alternative F is also favorable to multi-use and bicycles, with the only difference between B and F being the way that fuels reduction and fire control are managed. The complete draft statement is available online for review.
For those who are concerned about California trails being forever closed to mountain bikers, please make your comments to the Sequoia National Forest. This National Monument is bordered by extensive Wilderness areas and a National Park, all of which is off-limits to mountain bike use. We can't afford to lose more! If you haven't ridden this area, it offers some spectacular high-country riding and is well worth a visit. It is also very much worth protecting for it's unique ecological and recreational value.
IMBA is also reviewing the document drafts and will issue their official comments soon. We encourage everyone to write in support of Alternative B, and strongly against Alternatives C and D. Note that you must login and/or register on the SNF Public Comment Portal to post your comments.
Comments are being accepted through December 3rd, 2010.

Cardinal meet at Vatican to set date for conclave
Boston Cardinal Sean O'Malley listed clerical sex abuse, reforming the church's administration and Christian persecution as some of the issues he thinks the next pope will need to address.
"The new pope will also need to face the sexual abuse crisis that is really worrying our people," he told the Catholic News Agency Monday.
View a slideshow of the process to pick a pope
"The relationship between the Church and the Muslim world is very important as well as the Church's persecution in many countries and the lack of education in others," O'Malley said.
O'Malley told the news service he also sees that there are positive developments for the church, since it is "growing and flourishing."
"We know that this is true since four million young people are hoping to meet with the new pope in this summer's World Youth Day in Rio de Janeiro," said the cardinal.
O'Malley's name has been mentioned as a contender to be the next pope, though he is generally considered to be a long-shot candidate.
O'Malley is currently attending preliminary meetings with fellow cardinals in preparation for choosing the new pope.
"The meetings are very important because they give us the opportunity to know us better and to share information about the church's situation in different parts of the world," O'Malley told the news agency.
O'Malley said the most important thing Catholics can do now is to pray so that the Holy Spirit guides the cardinals in the upcoming papal election.

Caring for a new generation of surviving, injured soldiers
Soldiers have come home from Iraq and Afghanistan with injuries that in any other major conflict in America's history would have left them dead on the battlefield.
"They never would have survived in World War II, Korea, or even Vietnam," explains New Mexico Secretary of Veterans Services Tim Hale. "That gives us an obligation to help care for them at the different stages they go through in their lives."
Hale says scientists are now studying the long-term effects of traumatic brain injuries, or TBI. A TBI can be as mild as a concussion or as severe as major brain damage. Hale says researchers are trying to figure out what will happen to a soldier with TBI decades from now so they can start preparing the proper medical care for them.
"These soldiers are going to need help," says Gordon Schei, a Rio Rancho veteran, whose two sons were both injured in Iraq.
Schei's oldest son, Erik Schei, was shot in the head and survived. He can't walk and can hardly talk, but he works hard every day to communicate and live as comfortably as possible. Gordon Schei and his wife worry what will happen to their son in the long run when they aren't able to care for him anymore.
"When you put them in a nursing home, you shut them away," says Christine Schei, Erik Schei's mom. "And that's not what they deserve. This is not what they fought for. They fought for freedom. And I think they deserve the freedom to live a decent, good, positive life."
Doctors at the VA Medical Center in Albuquerque say they've redesigned their approach to care when it comes to soldiers who served in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"We want to make sure we're addressing their concerns immediately off of active duty," explains Melissa Middleton, who works with Iraq and Afghanistan veterans.
For the first time, medical professionals are talking honestly and openly about post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental illnesses. They say they focus right away on helping soldiers prepare for their later years, which may bring challenges never seen before.

text: Wednesday, October 02, 2013 Get Ready to Respond to Health Care Reform Questions Physical therapists are likely to find themselves responding to patient questions about how the Affordable Care Act will affect their health care. Are you prepared to help point them to the answers they need? Despite the government shutdown that began October 1, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) remains unaffected. But as the ACA continues to rollout major features—most recently, the marketplace system—the public remains largely uninformed. A September 28 tracking poll from the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation found that as late as last month, 51% of all Americans felt that they lacked adequate information on the ACA. Most feel that current news coverage on health reform focuses more on political wrangling than on providing information, and more often than not, respondents stated that they don't know where to turn for accurate, unbiased information on the changes. Many public uncertainties remain, according to the poll. These include worries about cost (19%), confusion about where to find an easy-to-understand, unbiased summary of the ACA (18%), a need to know how the ACA will make things better (7%%), impacts on specific groups (6%), personal/family impacts (5%), questions about insurance marketplace plans (5%), and questions about the impact on currently-held insurance (4%). You may not need to know all the answers to these questions, but helping a patient find resources is important. The federal government has published a series of fact sheets on the ACA, and on October 1 the Kaiser Foundation released a series of consumer resources that aim to answer the most common questions. Of course, physical therapists have plenty of questions about how ACA will affect their work. Answers can be found in APTA's "10 Things You Need to Know on October 1" guide on the Expansion of Coverage webpage.
