The San Juan Capistrano Chamber of Commerce is asking the city to consider temporarily opening a small residential street to regular traffic to help connect the east and west sides of town during the two-year I-5/Ortega Highway interchange reconstruction project that is expected to begin this month.
The $86.2 million California Department of Transportation project will tear down and rebuild the Ortega Highway bridge that is the main connector of those sides of San Juan. Though the bridge work will be done in segments, there will be times when the bridge is closed to all traffic.
In a letter to the City Council, chamber Executive Director Mark Bodenhamer said: "Until its completion, this project will have tremendous negative impacts on our residents and businesses throughout its multiyear planned timeline."
He suggested that El Horno Street is the "only realistic alternative we have to alleviate the east/west connection shortage that will be caused by this project. We believe it is important that the city of San Juan Capistrano take steps to evaluate using the El Horno undercrossing for vehicle traffic during this time period."
El Horno is a residential street that passes under I-5 about a half-mile north of the Ortega interchange. The street connects to El Camino Real on the west end but is closed to traffic just shy of Rancho Viejo Road east of I-5.
El Horno is paved but "is not currently constructed to be used as a regular roadway," city spokeswoman Cathy Salcedo said. City traffic engineers say the street is not wide enough to handle two-way traffic and that there are no sidewalks.
The street is used occasionally for special events and emergency access, Salcedo said.
The Mission Flats neighborhood where El Horno is located is the second-oldest residential neighborhood in San Juan Capistrano, she added.
Bodenhamer said in an interview that the chamber isn't suggesting El Horno become the main detour for the Ortega bridge project. "We recognize there are new issues that would arise from opening El Horno," he said.
The proposal hasn't been put on any city commission or council agendas and staff hasn't received direction to look into it, Salcedo said.

From ''Tutorial on Neural Systems Modeling'', Chapter 7, pg. 242: In this section we will extend the avoidance learning simulation by adding a schema CALL that can increase the proportion of exploration relative to exploitation. The extended model is depicted [!in the simulation tool]. Since we are interested here in simulating avoidance conditioning, we will leave out the details concerning how a schema such as CALL could actually implement increased exploration in a neural system. Instead, we will simply use the response of CALL to augment the probability of exploration.

On Decision Day, Akin Committed to Missouri Senate Bid
JEFFERSON CITY (AP) - It's decision day for Missouri Congressman Todd Akin.
The embattled Republican says he will not seek a court order to drop out of Missouri's Senate race by the Tuesday deadline to do so. Instead, Akin is planning to rev up his campaign with a new statewide bus tour departing from St. Louis.
Akin has repeatedly apologized and reaffirmed his commitment to the Senate race since top Republicans called on him to quit because of remarks he made last month about pregnancy and rape. Yet some people have doubted his resolve.
Akin hopes he can regain support and donations from Republicans and conservatives who have been waiting until Tuesday's deadline to see if he really would press ahead with his challenge of Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill.

Point Form Business Cards
We recently printed these business cards, designed by the fellows at Point Form, a Canadian design collective. A little tricky production was in order with their design. The paper we used is a 100lb French Poptone Sweet Tooth custom pasted (duplexed) after printing to 100lb French Poptone Lemon Drop for a final 200lb Cover stock. Pasting sheets after printing can add a little cost, but with a two sided card it is the best production move because we don't need to worry about impression show through from a heavy letterpress imprint. Note that there is no indentation from one side to the other.

Apparently, I made a mistake in having an opinion.
There are literally tens of comedians I don't find funny, and hundreds that I do..
My like or dislike is not going to make or break anyone's career- no doubt about that.
People have asked me "What are you, some kind of comedian"
Yup, some kind..I try to be the funny kind...sometimes the opinionated kind..always the unpaid keep-my-day-job kind..but mostly I am the kind that changes the subject or the landscape in the absence of laughter.
I heard the Secret Service is in trouble for not being so secret...

...who call this comedy.
I (again meaning me, alone) would be generous (in my OPINION) to even call this parody (definition).
It is almost as horrible (organ playing constantly, testimonials from the audience) as the real thing (actual religious services).
If you followed the previous links, I apologize for subjecting you to that.

Comedians Who are Athiests Doing Stand-Up (My idea of comedy).
OK so that done.
I apologize to Mr Roger Scott Jackson if I offended HIM.
There are lots of comedians who became HUGE without me being a fan (Kinison, O'neal, Godfrey).
I am sure my opinion of this character will in no way deter your career :).
Any others:
I think that's pretty much accounting for ALL my words.
I usually don't have to explain things in this much detail..except to the fanatics.
The mistake wasn't an opinion, it was because of trying to pass off an intellectual dishonesty.
Sometimes people just don't like getting busted slagging on others by misrepresenting them, or inventing a reason to. Kinda' funny to watch the flail though.
Unintentional funny can often be the most hilarious.

Paul Simon
A master wordsmith and ace musician whose lyrics are as keen as his melodies are tuneful.
Paul Simon seems to absorb influences from every corner of the world and then give them back in the form of beautiful, textured songs. While his eclectic tastes are ever-evolving, he can always be counted on for affecting, poetic lyrics.
Paul Simon is among the most erudite and daring songsmiths in popular music.
After the breakup of Simon and Garfunkel in 1970, Simon embarked on a fruitful solo career that is noteworthy for its lyrical acuity, impeccable musicianship and stylistic daring. While Simon and Garfunkel worked largely (but not exclusively) in the folk idiom, Simon the solo artist has roamed wherever his muse has taken him—and that has literally meant around the world. His is not so much a conventional career in music as an odyssey of discovery using (in Simon's own words) "intuitive flashes, synaptic leaps and shorthand logic" to help him on his way.
It is a little-known fact that Paul Simon's solo career commenced in 1965 with The Paul Simon Songbook, recorded and released only in England, where Simon was living at the time. (If you want to get technical about it, Simon released a string of pre-S&G 45s during the period of 1958 to 1962 under the pseudonyms Jerry Landis, True Taylor and Paul Kane.) Simon's Songbook appeared between the Simon and Garfunkel albums Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M. (1964) and Sounds of Silence (1966). However, the unexpected success of the S&G single "The Sounds of Silence" in 1965 brought Simon back home to New York, where he reunited and remained with partner Art Garfunkel through 1970.
Disinclined to honor artificial borders when it comes to music and culture, Simon mixed it up from the outset. He would explore and interpolate doo-wop vocals, gospel choirs, New Orleans brass bands, West Coast jazz musicians, reggae rhythms, Peruvian folk melodies and more on such eclectic early albums as Paul Simon (1972), There Goes Rhymin' Simon (1973) and Still Crazy After All These Years (1975). Simon wrote enlightened, accessible yet offbeat pop tunes that were in sync with the Seventies and its self-absorbed ironies. His music unfailingly nodded to the exotic without departing the familiar. As a lyricist, he could be a droll, sometimes doleful observer of the human condition; witness his mid-Seventies anthem "Still Crazy After All These Years" (which would become a popular societal catchphrase). Simon expertly sculpted his songs until they sounded so effortless that they belied his careful craftsmanship.
By the mid-Eighties, he was carefully and thoughtfully fusing American and African music forms, which bore fruit on the landmark album Graceland (1986). His buoyant, groove-oriented music drew from the street music of Soweto, South Africa, known as mbaqanga or "township jive." Between the lines, his multicultural fusion reinforced the notion that music is a universal language that rises above politics. He also helped open the mass audience's ears to the marvelous forms of music that lay beyond their home borders. Graceland may well be the most unlikely hit album of the Eighties; certainly, it was among the most revolutionary.
Simon's efforts at cultural fusion continued on The Rhythm of the Saints (1990). It was another set of audacious musical experiments, this time pairing Brazilian drummers (playing mcbuma and condomble rhythms) with West African guitar and Simon's brainy lyric sensibility. In addition, he used American blues and jazz musicians, plus backup vocalists from Cameroon. It was a richly textured musical tapestry. For Graceland and The Rhythm of the Saints alone, Paul Simon deserves acclaim as for making the world feel a little bit more like a community of kindred spirits.
Forays into film (1980's One-Trick Pony) and Broadway theater (1997's The Capeman) have drawn upon and expanded the cinematic storytelling at the heart of Simon's songwriting. In 1991 he performed a free concert in Central Park, which was aired live over HBO as Paul Simon Live in Central Park: Born at the Right Time Tour: One Night Only. The two-hour performance, which found him joined by a touring band of seventeen musicians and singers from various cultures and locales, drew heavily from Graceland and The Rhythm of the Saints, but he also threw in five Simon and Garfunkel classics. In 2000 Simon released You're the One, one of his most artfully understated albums.
Over the course of three decades, Paul Simon has tapped into the mysterious motherlode of musical creation with patience and humility. "I'm more interested in what I discover than what I invent," he has said. "You don't possess it. You can't control it or dictate to it. You're just waiting. Waiting...for the show to begin."

In ArcMap, I have a raster file that contains 6 classes of landcover and a shapefile that is the census data (OA boundaries and their population).
I want the area of each class in each OA?
For instance, I need to add six columns to the census shapefile (i.e one column for each class) and calculate the area of that class in the appropriate OA...
Does anyone know how I can solve this?

International Rugby
10 Things we learned from the weekend
Graham Jenkins
November 19, 2012
Austraila coach Robbie Deans probably has the greatest reason to smile following the latest round of international action © PA Photos
The latest international action produced a welcome mix of drama, controversty and upsets - but what did we learn?
Woodward to return to rugby's front line?
It's been a while since Sir Clive Woodward parted ways with the sport but he clearly still has some strong opinions that ensure he remains a key figure in the sport. He was positively beaming in front of the Sky Sports cameras at the weekend as he was introduced to the armchair audience as if relishing the chance to wade in as a rather well-qualified pundit and dominated the headlines post-game with his assessment of England's shortcomings. With his Olympics duties now done and dusted, how long until he returns to his first love?
Freddie has still got game
Frederic Michalak steered France to a priceless 39-22 victory over Argentina in Lille to underline his class. The 30-year-old returned to the international picture earlier this year following a two-year gap and has wasted no time in making himself at home with 58 points in his four Test appearance since then. And he appears to have made the No.10 jersey his despite the fact he plays scrum-half at Toulon where a certain Jonny Wilkinson continues to pull the strings.
Deans will coach Australia against the Lions next year
Australia's 20-14 victory over England at Twickenham will ensure that the Kiwi coach is still at the Wallabies' helm when the British & Irish Lions come to play next year. Deans was under severe pressure going into the game having seen his side battered by France and former Wallabies winger David Campese label the 'worst thing to have ever happened to Australian rugby' but his players dug him out of a hole with a gutsy victory at English rugby's HQ that will provide valuable breathing room. With only clashes against Italy and a wobbly Wales still to come, Deans side may yet kick on and enter 2013 full of confidence.
England must learn to handle the pressure
England's failure to 'Think Clearly Under Pressure' when chasing the game against Australia is a worrying sign that must be addressed. Chances to beat the Wallabies don't come around too often and to squander points as they did in kicking penalties to the corner and by opting for a tap and go proved costly. Hindsight is a great thing but so is foresight. Points must surely be taken when you are not sure when you will return to the 'Red Zone'? Perhaps England will count themselves lucky to have learnt this lesson now given that the pressure is only going to grow as we build towards the 2015 Rugby World Cup at which point it will reach a whole new level.
All Blacks' second string could rule the world
This may not be news to some but it is worth highlighting New Zealand's unrivalled strength in depth. Steve Hansen made 14 changes to the side that crushed Scotland for their latest outing against Italy but you would have hardly noticed as they swept the Azzurri side in a similarly dominant manner. Expect the big guns to return against Wales this weekend and remain for the finale versus England but you sense they could wrap up another unbeaten tour without them.
France are a little worried
France's victories over Australia and Argentina have propelled them into the top four of the IRB rankings and put them on course for a favourable outcome at next month's 2015 Rugby World Cup pool allocation draw. They look set to avoid the southern hemisphere's big three as long as they can overcome the sizeable bump in the road that is Samoa. The Islanders stunned Wales last Friday night and a similar result in Paris would open the door for England to climb above them into the top four and see Samoa move into the top eight. The odds are against such an outcome - but they were also against Samoa in Cardiff and France coach Phillipe Saint-Andre is worried. "I told the guys that now, the toughest was ahead of us against Samoa," he said. "But we have to stay humble because the giantkillers are coming at the Stade de France. Last night, after I watched Wales versus Samoa, I did not sleep very well -- and it was not because of today's game."
Savea on course for greatness
Julian Savea's two tries in New Zealand's 42-10 victory over Italy in Rome took his international tally to 10 in just seven Tests. That pace puts him ahead of All Blacks legend Jonah Lomu who notched seven tries in his first seven games and fellow speedster Sitiveni Sivivatu who had nine tries to his name at the same stage. But he is off the pace of Joe Rokocoko who had 11 at this stage in his career.
Brits is back where he belongs
Schalk Brits made a long-overdue return to the international stage during South Africa's 21-10 victory over Scotland at Murrayfield. It was the hooker's first Test cap since 2008 due to the Springboks' baffling decision to largely ignore his excellent form for Premiership side Saracens. Unfortunately for Brits, his international return was limited to just four minutes due in large part to starting hooker Adriaan Strauss' two-try showing.
A 'gulf' remains between the hemispheres
Australia coach Robbie Deans does not believe there is a gulf in class between the rival hemispheres any more but we don't buy that. Only France have upset the world order with a victory over the Wallabies - which no doubt prompted Deans' claim. The combined efforts of the Home Nations have so far produced a grand total of zero wins against the big three. More worrying for Europe's leading nations is the so-called lesser nations to buck the rankings, form guide and funding models and upset the rankings. Argentina's upset of Wales got the ball rolling but that was dwarfed by Samoa's success in Cardiff. Fiji and Tonga may not be in the same class at the moments but if Samoa beat a path into the world's top eight then expect others to follow.
Wallabies have more class than they are given credit for
Much is often made of Australia's limited talent pool but don't be fooled. They went into their latest tour outing against England without the world-class talents of David Pocock, Will Genia, James O'Connor James Horwill and Quade Cooper but still had too much for a limited England blessed with a much larger selection of players to choose from. But it was definitely a case of quality over quantity with openside Michael Hooper a shining example of what gems they have in reserve.

Jordan Lyles struggles for Rockies; Kershaw sharp for L.A.
At Salt River Fields
Scottsdale, Ariz. — Here's the most important thing to know about Sunday's Cactus League game between the Rockies and the Los Angeles Dodgers: Rockies right-hander Jordan Lyles, who will likely be the club's No. 3 or No. 4 starter, needed 55 pitches to struggle through 2 1/3 innings. Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw needed only 61 to get through his five scoreless innings.
"I guess that's the good thing about spring training — you have these types of outings and it's a lot easier to get over it, find the positive and move on," Lyles said after getting rocked for four runs on five hits.
He pitched for the cycle, giving up a home run to Scott Van Slyke to lead off the second, and later served up a double to Cody Bellinger and a triple to Andre Ethier. To add to the misery index, Lyles walked Kershaw on four pitches in the second inning to load the bases and set up Joc Pederson's two-run single.
Lyles fastball command, so sharp in his last outing, was AWOL on Sunday.
"I know what was wrong. I should have corrected it while I was out there during the (second) inning or when (I went) back out there for the third inning," he said. "I'm just falling off, not staying toward home plate."
Lyle's outing began with a crisp first inning in which he set down the order and struck out Chase Utley on a gorgeous changeup.

December 9th
Reeves Nelson dismissed from UCLA basketball team
#9 Connecticut First Team To Defeat #25 Harvard
December 9, 2011 I know that everyone is hyped over the start of the NBA season and official trades, but David Stern put no hold on the NCAA Basketball action. We had some good games last night and a bunch of great match-ups set for this weekend. So, prepare to be "WoW"-ed (Sorry Chris Paul) as this is your NCAA Daily:
Huggins, Mountaineers Win in Double OT in return to Kansas State
In West Virginia's coach Bob Huggins first game against Kansas State since his 2007 departure from the team, he scored an 85-80 victory in a couple OT's. Huggins said before the game that he was actually happy to be playing in a game like this, where he at the very least would be going up against a friend and colleague, current Kansas State coach Frank Martin. The Mountaineers PF Kevin Jones was the star of the game, posting a career high 30 points along with 12 rebounds. Jones also hit a crucial three pointer to send the game into its first overtime.
LaDontae Hinton Continues To Impress In Providence Win
The Providence Friars held off the Boston College Eagles, 64-57. Friars freshman forward LaDontae Hinton had 21 points and 7 rebounds in the victory and has been a major bright spot for the team thus far. Providence knew they were going to have to make up some scoring with the departure of star senior MarShon Brooks and Henton has helped take some of the burden. The 6'6 Henton has averaged 13.8 ppg and 8.1 rpg for the 8-2 Friars. The Eagles were led by their own freshman forward, Ryan Anderson, who had 16 points.
Jared Sullinger Probable For Saturday Showdown Against #13 Kansas
Ohio State coach Thad Matta said Jared Sullinger "woke up dancing this morning", which apparently is a very good sign for his possibilities of playing on Saturday. #2 Ohio State's leading scorer and rebounder, Sullinger had been having back spasms and missed Ohio State's last win. Matta gives no guarantees that his star forward will be ready and says that we will likely find out game day.
#22 Texas A&M's Khris Middleton set to return Saturday
After missing over a month after a surgery to repair torn meniscus, Khris Middleton is set to return for Texas A&M's Saturday meeting with Louisiana-Monroe. The lanky junior wing averaged 14.4 ppg and 5.2 rpg last season and was seen as an intriguing NBA prospect due to his size and scoring ability. A&M has had to win games on defense and are very much looking forward to having a player like Middleton to spread the floor and create some shots. They are 7-1 right now, but had 4 games below 60 points during Middleton's absence.
Match-up of 8-0 Teams As Kentucky Takes on Indiana
The Indiana Hoosiers are still not ranked despite being 8-0 on the season, but they will hope to use Assembly Hall to give them a home court edge over #1 Kentucky. Wildcats senior forward Darius Miller has warned the team that Indiana is, "Probably one of the craziest environments we're going to play in." After finishing 12-20 last season while losing there last nine games, coach Tom Crean has Hoosiers fans hyped at the teams apparent turnaround.
Can Washington beat #7 Duke at MSG?
No, no they can't. But, nice try, Huskies. On a serious note, the Huskies do indeed have the talent to compete with the Blue Devils and should offer an interesting match-up. However, they seem a tad undisciplined in their decision making and the Blue Devils kill teams that make too many mistakes. Former UW star guard Eldridge Recasner believes the Huskies have to have the mindset that they can beat Duke, which is a mantra that hopefully the team buys into.
#15 Pittsburgh Takes on Oklahoma State in Second MSG Match
It's a battle of the Big East versus the Big 12 in the second game of a double header at New York's famed Madison Square Garden. Pittsburgh is 8-1 on the season, their lone blemish at the hands of upset minded Long Beach State. Last year's regular season Big East champs, Pittsburgh have been scoring in bunches this season along with playing their usual brand of tough defense.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Division title? Check. A first-round bye? The New England Patriots have that, too.
Next up for Tom Brady and Co. is a chance at the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs.
And, they could clinch it against the rival Jets on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.
"It's a good football team that's playing well," Bill Belichick said of the Jets. "We'll be going into a hostile environment down there, so it will be a big challenge for us this week to be ready to go."
The Patriots (12-2) won their seventh straight AFC East crown and clinched a bye in the opening round of the playoffs for an NFL-record sixth season in a row. With a win over the Jets (9-5), the Patriots would earn home-field advantage in the AFC playoffs for the second consecutive year.
New England would also put a serious crimp in New York's postseason plans. The Jets are on a four-game winning streak, but would currently lose out to both Kansas City and Pittsburgh, each also 9-5, because of tiebreakers.
"We've probably been in playoff mode in the last four weeks," Jets coach Todd Bowles said.
New York led New England in the fourth quarter the last time the teams played in October, but Brady led the Patriots to a 30-23 victory. The Jets dropped three of their next four, but have turned things around since.
"They went through a little bit of a down period there in the middle of the season, but they've really bounced back from that, won their last four games," Belichick said. "They really do everything well as a team."
New York safety Calvin Pryor also sees a much-improved Jets team from the one that came up short against the Patriots earlier this season.
"We're playing at a very high level, with a purpose," Pryor said. "When we played them last time, we felt like we could play with them, but we didn't feel like we could dominate and win that game. I think this is a different mindset now that we have."

Actually it's 2 solos as this is my first student to solo as a new CFI! Here is Peter's story of the day. I'm so proud as he's come a long way during his training.
The morning of Sat. Oct 6 2012 started for most people the normal way. For me, it was anything but normal. The day before, I flew with a chief pilot aboard. He said I had it in me to solo, but today we would put that statement to the test. I didn't get much sleep the night before, flying the pattern in my head and watching aviation videos till the wee hours of the morning. I imagined Lindberg had similar anxiety flying the Atlantic, 33 hours without sleep.
0900- I make a cocktail of Redbull and Mountain Dew, and had a light snack. "Charlie-Alfa-Tango, Hold Short" I said to the cat as I made my way out the door. I looked to the sky and it was blustery, gusts to almost 18, Clear visibility. Would this be the day? Would I orphan my cat. Ultimately the answer was yes to the first question, no to the second. I take my first step out the door. I would return as a pilot.
1400-I brought along a photographer friend Johnny to document the event, waiting for me was a camera crew setting up GoPros in N48849, a Cessna 152. I did my preflight, checklist in hand, as I had a number of times before. To me this is an act that ties me to the Wright brothers, Chuck Yeager, Neil and Buzz, and Amelia Earhart. They all had their first flight alone…This one, however, was mine.
1530-It seemed to take longer than I wanted it to but we got thru to taxi and run-up. It's a good idea to practice a few times around the pattern with Ron my CFI aboard before committing to the solo. The winds at KPAO rattled us around a bit for an hour, and I was getting fatigued and dehydrated so we decided to put her down and decide if it would be go, or no go. We talk aviation stories at the terminal till the ATIS weather is updated.
1650- The weather was not improving much, indeed, the wind picked up another knot. Crosswind component was 4.5 knots, I've landed in worse than that. After agonizing for a few minutes it came down to one question. Do you have it in you? Yes I do.
Back in the plane for a few more practice laps.
1800- Taxing back we felt good about my chances. Ron warned me that the plane would climb like it had JATO bottles stuck to it without him in the right seat. Filling out the paperwork it felt like, this is the real deal, it's official. I get to do this. We turn this into a photo opportunity because the sun is lighting up the sky a pretty shade of orange. We shook hands.
1815- I turn to my instructor and say "Ron you're good a pilot, a friend and a fine instructor…But get the hell out of my aircraft". He smiles, shuts the door behind him, the cabin grows eerily quiet. "Well, that's just great, now what am I supposed to do?" Ron's voice in my head- Mixture in, Clear Prop, Master on, Key to ignition…Go. "Time to get some" I must have said as the little Cessna started rolling with one guy in it. That guy was me. Run-up and make calls to the tower like I did a hundred times before, then the "Hold short" call.
"I've waited all my life for this" I said. "Cleared for takeoff" they said. "What do I stand for, What's in you?…Throttle up, Gauges green, Airspeed alive, Rotate 50…..YeeHaw!" 849er went up F-16 style. I'm a seven year old kid flying his kite all over again. Today I'm not building a model airplane, I'm flying a real one! Two times around, it feels like the plane was on rails tracing around the pattern. Training kicks in and you don't think much about the nitty gritty aspects of flying, you just do it like you did a hundred times before, almost on reflex. A look left revealed the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen. This is exactly why I fly. To experience firsthand the beauty, the majesty, the wonder of it all. There will not be another sunset like that one in my lifetime. I wanted the clock to just freeze right then.
It was my defining moment, Pete Nardo-Pilot.
I could have been in the pattern all day, but it was getting dark, and as much as I would have liked to stay, I had to put the plane down…Safely. Planes like this one don't land themselves, It's all on me. A little bit of crosswind wanted to blow me to the left, so I did a crab then a slip to maintain centerline. Flare, Flare (I could hear Ron's voice in my head). The chirp of the tires meant I was on the ground, but no time to celebrate yet. I gotta park this thing. I roll to a stop, tower says "Great landing 849er" I said thanks but was too choked up with emotion to say much more. I take a minute at the taxiway to clean up the aircraft, and say "I did it, I'm a pilot". Then I put on a Hachimaki (Japanese headband worn for inspiration, mine literally said Kami-Kaze) in honor of my Sensei's (Teachers). I got clearance to park, which I did, and then the motor was silent.
1845-As I sat there in front of the flight school the sun was emitting the last of it's rays, I was in a quiet moment of reflection. Everything about my life up to this point prepared me to do this. In my flight bag were three photos. One of my family, one of my Grandparents, and one with a seven year old kid who is flying a kite, and missing his front tooth. That kid, this pilot….Was me.
I must have had a tear in my eye, probably balling too, and I was so happy, I didn't care.
Every pilot that solos has their own story to tell. This one was mine….What will your's be?

Totally agree.Lonesomebri wrote:Some people not only use self-preservation when regarding a police state, they internalize it until anyone not happily following the dictates of the police state, even in private and cautiously, must be simply stupid, all of them. There is a certain pride in following orders, and blanket contempt for people willing to break the rules. Be smart, be cautious, know your rights, use the crosswalk, never break the law, or never let 'em know you are. What are the sodemy laws like in Nevada?
Of course, it's hard to implement. The number of times I've had to deal with police paying attention to me I could count on one hand, so I have very little practice (idea: start a "dealing with police" training class where you practice ... hmm). So when the cop came up to me when I was riding my bike with the trailer and asked what I had in the toolbox I use as a trunk on the bike, I asked why. He said there were people stealing copper pipe from houses. I looked at all the cars going by and said, "gee, don't you think you could steal more pipe with a car?" He said he just wanted to see in the toolbox. I thought about telling him to go get a warrant, but I just fucking showed him there wasn't any copper-pipe-stealing tools because I really didn't want to spend the next 3 hours dicking around with a bunch of fucking douchebag pigs. It counts a million times more on the way to Burning Man.
But the lesson in all this is: blame the legislators who make dumb things illegal and the police who are complicit in executing those laws. One who has not caused harm to someone else has committed no crime.

The Link Between Autism and Low Levels of Vitamin DApril 2009
By Julius Goepp, MD
An epidemic of autism appears to be underway in the United States. According to several respected leaders in child and adult nutrition from across the United States, the current meteoric rise in autism and autism spectrum disorders (ASD) may well be a direct consequence of significant vitamin D deficiencies in pregnant women and their infants.1-6 And evidence points to vitamin D deficiency as the cause of other debilitating brain conditions as well.5,7-10 This insidious deficiency is readily remedied—yet tragically often missed.
For years, Life Extension has been exploring the potentially devastating consequences of vitamin D deficiency, ranging from cardiovascular disease to cancer. Now in this report, Life Extension magazine examines the link between low levels of plasma vitamin D and autism. At the forefront of this research is Dr. John J. Cannell, executive director of the Vitamin D Council and a forensic psychiatrist at Atascadero State Hospital in California. The stunning findings suggest that rampant vitamin D deficiency is causally related to brain dysfunction, and may be readily preventable by adequate supplementation.2-4,11
Autism—What's Known, What's Guessed, and What's Still to be Learned
Autism, or the Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD), involves poor social and verbal functioning accompanied by repetitive or "stereotyped" behaviors.12 Symptoms begin sometime in early childhood. Just what the deficits are, when they first become evident, and what causes them are still unknown, though both genetic and environmental factors seem to play major roles.12-14 Similarly, it seems apparent that there are many different developmental conditions that meet at least some of the definitions of autism or ASD.12
In fact, scientists agree that we actually know very little about this puzzling, multi-faceted, and tragic condition, which ranges in severity from very subtle alterations in social behavior to full-blown developmental delays that may result in placement in long-term care facilities.15-17
What is undeniable is that there has been a marked increase in the number of children being diagnosed with autism over the past two decades, not just in the US but in most industrialized nations.18-21 Some experts argue that this rise is due to increased detection by parents and physicians, as well as changing criteria and diagnostic categories.22-25 By now, however, most agree that the increase is real, and probably represents an interaction of basic genetic tendencies with something new and different in our current turn-of-the-century world.3,19-21 One report showed the incidence of autism rose 30-fold in just seven years.25 This 2006 British study estimated that one in every 86 children met criteria for autism or ASD20—a shocking figure that alone justifies use of the term "epidemic."3
What is causing this apparent dramatic rise in autism cases? The answer or answers have been elusive, generating heated controversy among (and between) physician groups, other scientists, and many parent groups. Considerable attention has been given to mercury and other environmental toxins that cause oxidative stress,26,27 and scientists are conducting further studies to determine if mercury in the environment and mercury preservatives in vaccines are casually linked to autism. Genetic factors are also important, as demonstrated by high rates of occurrence in other family members, particularly in twin studies.28,29 Today's consensus identifies both genetic and environmental factors as being relevant to the causes of autism.14,30
The "Vitamin D Deficiency Theory" of Autism
What possible factors involving both genetics and environment could account for the dramatic change in autism rates in just 20 years? Our genes surely aren't changing that fast, and while our environment is clearly being altered, no serious scientist suggests that anything radical enough to cause an epidemic of brain dysfunction has taken place in the past two decades. That's correct, argues Dr. John Cannell, but in fact our behavior with regard to our environment has indeed undergone significant changes—changes that, because of their effects on the vitamin D neurosteroid system, can and do account for many of the observed facts about the autism epidemic.
Dr. Cannell, a widely-published expert on vitamin D's many-faceted effects,4,31-33 believes that these facts line up in a compelling fashion to implicate vitamin D deficiency and support the "vitamin D deficiency theory" of autism.3 Let's follow Dr. Cannell's line of thinking as he lines up the extraordinary evidence that we may be able to stop the autism epidemic in its tracks with simple vitamin D supplementation.
Cannell starts with the incredible increase in our understanding of vitamin D's fundamental contri-butions to human health. Though most people (sadly including many physicians) still associate it only with bone mineralization, we now understand that the active form of vitamin D, called calcitriol, plays an equally important role as a neurosteroid hormone, directly responsible for many elements in brain development and behavior34 (other examples of neurosteroids include the sex hormones estrogen and testosterone, which have effects on the full spectrum of human behaviors). Vitamin D obtained from supplements or sunshine must undergo two biochemical processes before it becomes active. First, it is metabolized by the liver to 25-hydroxyvitamin D, the main circulating form of vitamin D and the only vitamin D metabolite that should be measured to assess vitamin D status.
Circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D then undergoes a final biochemical step to form calcitriol, a potent neurosteroid that controls brain cell growth, and acts on receptor molecules found in brain cells from the first days of embryo formation.35 Because of these potent effects, researchers in 2001 labeled vitamin D the "neglected neurosteroid" and concluded that vitamin D deficiency "should be examined in more detail as a candidate risk factor" for neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism.36 More recently, researchers have suggested that vitamin D, acting as a neurosteroid, offers "neuroprotection, antiepileptic effects, immunomodulation, [impact on] several brain neurotransmitter systems and hormones, as well as regulation of behaviors,"37 stressing the importance of prenatal, neonatal, and postnatal vitamin D supplementation for normal brain functioning.38
But what has happened in the past 20 years that could affect the neurosteroid function of vitamin D and relate it to the explosion of autism cases? Plenty, argues Cannell: put very simply, we have become excessively "sun-phobic" in our efforts to reduce the very real risk of skin cancers.3,39 Couple this with our decreasing natural exposure to sunlight as we've moved from agricultural to manufacturing to service-based activities, and you have the "perfect storm" for vitamin D deficiency.1,11 Vitamin D levels in industrialized countries are known to be much lower than those of fully sun-exposed individuals.40 Thus, our behavior has had the paradoxical and unintended consequence of limiting our blood levels of the only known precursor of a vital neurohormone that, in turn, can influence the very organ of behavior itself, the brain.3
What is the evidence to support the vitamin D deficiency theory of autism? A recent review by Dr. Cannell provides a substantial and cogent evidence base,3 starting with the characteristics of the vitamin D neurosteroid system itself. Calcitriol acts as a "molecular switch" in brain tissue, turning on powerful genes that influence brain development. There are about 1,000 genes already known to be targets of calcitriol activity, and that number is growing fast.37,41
But unlike any other vitamin system, the bulk of human vitamin D stores come not from oral intake but from skin production under the influence of sunlight.42,43 As Dr. Cannell notes in his review, "Large populations of pregnant women putting small amounts [of vitamin D] in their mouths—in the form of prenatal vitamins—instead of generating large amounts in their skins, is novel to human brain development;"44 since we no longer get ample sun exposure, we need to pay closer attention to how much vitamin D we do get through our mouths.
The case for significant oral supplementation is made even clearer when one considers that skin production of vitamin D is vastly more efficient than oral intake.2 In fact, just 10-40 minutes of summer sunbathing by a fair-skinned adult, notes Cannell, produces about 20,000 units of vitamin D which is presented to the systemic circulation over the next 24 hours45—to get the same amount orally a pregnant woman would have to drink 200 glasses of milk (at 100 IU per glass) or take 50 standard prenatal multivitamins (400 IU per tablet) to realize the same gains!3
But, as Cannell goes on to point out, we've been assiduously avoiding sun exposure for the past 20 years, dutifully following AMA guidelines.39 It is precisely during that same 20-year period that we've seen the rapid rise in autism rates,14 though as Dr. Cannell acknowledges, "Thousands of other environmental changes occurred during this same time and such associations, on their own, mean little."3
But there are plenty of additional persuasive arguments supporting the theory. The calcitriol neurohormone system is different from all the body's other steroid hormone systems. While other steroids are produced directly from the body's natural store of cholesterol "precursor" compounds, the amount of calcitriol produced is completely dependent on having enough precursor 25-hydroxyvitamin D present in the first place. And brain levels of activated vitamin D, as Cannell observes, "directly depend on the amount of vitamin D the mother makes in her skin or puts in her mouth."3
Cannell's dramatic conclusion is that "Human behavior, be it the step into the sun, the step to the supplements, the step into the shade, or the step to the sunscreen, determine brain calcitriol levels."3 In the case of the human fetus, as we're about to see, brain calcitriol levels are directly linked to very early cognitive development, with tremendous implications for the developing baby's brain.
Calcitriol—Nutrient and Neurohormone of Brain Development
A wealth of animal data has emerged demonstrating just how essential calcitriol is in early fetal brain development. Offspring of vitamin D-deficient rats, for example, have abnormal cell growth, structure, and functions in their brains,46-48 excessive and undirected movements,49-52 and subtle alterations in learning and memory.8 Even when the deficiencies occur only late in gestation, they are capable of causing disruptions in adult brain functioning,48 demonstrating the exquisite dependence of brain development on this vital neurohormone.
A group of French researchers has in fact found 36 crucial brain proteins that are disrupted when vitamin D is deficient during fetal development,7,53 and others have shown increased brain size and enlargement of the fluid-filled ventricles of the brain9—both abnormalities that are common in autism.54,55
Toxins and Oxidants—Another Important Role for Calcitriol in Autism?
What about the apparent importance of toxins and inflammation in autism? Does the vitamin D deficiency theory of autism offer an explanation? Resoundingly yes—for example, it is already known that autistic people have abnormalities in immune functions similar to those that are affected by vitamin D—including increased inflammatory cytokine levels.12,56,57 And we know that much of the ongoing inflammation in autistic brains is the result of oxidative stress12—just where vitamin D's powerful anti-inflammatory properties are most useful (and most critical if missing).
Calcitriol has nootropic properties—that is, it protects brain tissue by reducing inflammatory cytokine levels which, when elevated, are strongly associated with cognitive impairment.3,58 Calcitriol also protects brain tissue by stimulating production of neuro-trophins, chemicals that combat toxicity from a number of sources including toxic levels of intracellular brain calcium.59 Calcitriol also increases brain levels of glutathione,60,61 a powerful natural antioxidant that is the body's most important tool for detoxifying and excreting heavy metals and that is rapidly consumed during oxidant stress from toxins and other sources.
Cannell argues convincingly that it is especially this calcitriol-induced increase in glutathione levels that can explain the link between autism and heavy metal toxicity.3,62 Heavy metals deplete intracellular glutathione,63 however, animals supplemented with calcitriol show a reduction in iron- and zinc-induced brain injury.64,65
A study by Dr. Jill James sheds further light on the connection between heavy metals, glutathione, and autism. Children with a variant of autism called regressive autism demonstrated a severe imbalance in the ratio of active to inactive glutathione, compared with healthy children. Regressive autism occurs when previously healthy children lose acquired language or behavioral skills and go on to develop autism. Children with regressive autism displayed chronically elevated levels of oxidative stress, which would make them more vulnerable to damaging neurotoxic agents such as heavy metals.66
Vitamin D Interactions—An Answer to the Gender Issue in Autism?
The fact that vitamin D metabolism differs markedly under the effects of the sex hormones may go a long way towards explaining yet another puzzling fact about autism, namely its strong predilection for boys over girls.3 For example, researchers in Sweden and in Utah have now shown that estrogen has effects on developing brain tissue that serve to make it more responsive to the neurohormonal growth-stimulating effects of calcitriol—results which suggest that estrogen can enhance any beneficial effects of vitamin D on the brain.67,68 It has been found that estrogen increases the activity of an important vitamin-D-related calcium binding protein in neurons69,70 that plays several important roles during central nervous system development.
Though complex, these studies do support the notion that the developing brain of a female fetus, with its predominance of estrogen relative to testosterone, could make more efficient use of available vitamin D than would the brain of a male fetus. In a situation where there was plenty of vitamin D present, such differences would go unnoticed—but introduce the all-too-prevalent maternal vitamin D deficiency state, and the stage is set for possible impairment in boys more commonly than in girls, which is of course precisely the situation we see with autism's gender discrimination.3

My hands are on the mend, and after cleaning up a few dishes from a small dinner party last night I turned to the mangoes that were meant both for mango lassis and frozen storage for future smoothies. All of a sudden, I found a pot of jam on the stove and an excellent breakfast in my belly comprised of mango pits gnawed as clean as cobs of corn.
Mango Jam with Cayenne and Black Pepper (inspired by Linda Ziedrich, Hungry Tigress)
my yield was 3 half pints and 1 3/4 pint jars
- 2 lbs. mango, peeled and diced
- 2 cayenne peppers, stemmed and roughly chopped (I left the seeds in)
- 1 lime, zested and juiced
- enough juiced orange to equal 1/2 c. when added to the lime juice
- coarsely ground black pepper to taste,
- 3 c. (574 g.) sugar (I used raw sugar)
Combine the mangoes, cayenne peppers, lime and orange juices in a preserving pot and cook gently over medium low heat until the mangoes soften and are tender. After they have softened, mash lightly with a masher then add sugar. (Taste, and if it isn't hot enough for you, add more cayenne pepper or powdered cayenne pepper.)
Increase the heat to medium, stirring frequently to make sure all the sugar has dissolved. When sugar has dissolved, raise the heat to medium high, add several grinds of coarse black (tellicherry) pepper and boil until a spoonful of jam mounds up when placed on a chilled dish. Stir in the lime zest.
Ladle jam into sterilized and still hot jam jars (use pint, 3/4 pint, or half pint jars), and process for 10 minutes in a boiling water bath.
My idea of jam making has changed so much in the past few years. I used to think that I could only make jam with fruit that I'd grown myself and in huge batches - probably reminiscent of the way my family preserved jam when I was growing up. Thanks to so many small-batch preservers, I've made stellar little 4 jar experiments with supermarket fruit that have slyly surprised me with their deliciousness. I've grown bold, adding herbs and spices to things I'd never considered, thanks to so many of my favorite preservers - maybe I will make it my 2012 mission to add chiles to everything I pop into jars.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. – The Georgia College baseball team (7-4, 1-1 PBC) split its first Peach Belt Conference (PBC) action of the 2013 season Saturday at Flagler College (8-7, 1-4 PBC). The Saints took game one 13-12, with the Bobcats evening the score 19-6 in game two.
Game one featured a combined 25 runs on 36 hits and 15 walks. The Bobcats put up multi-run innings twice. A two-run single in the bottom of the 10th decided the game. Bobcat rightfielder Jake Sandlin (Evans, Ga.) had just given Georgia College a 12-11 lead in the top half of the inning with a solo home run, the first of the freshman's career.
Nick Kranick singled home the game winner, after an RBI double by Chance Mitchell tied the contest.
Third baseman Jeremy Donaldson (Winder, Ga.) went 4-for-6 with three RBI and three runs, swatting his first home run of the season. Sandlin finished 2-for-6 with two RBI, a run and a pair of steals. Second baseman Ryan Sabalaskey (Carol Stream, Ill.) also had two hits in six trips, scoring once.
Reliever Jordan Brooks (Macon, Ga.) took the loss (0-1) in 1 2/3 innings of work, while Jake Brandenberger (3-0) got the win, recording just a single out in the top of the 10th. Kranick finished 3-for-4 with three RBI and a run.
In game two it was the Bobcats utilizing the middle innings, putting up 16 runs from the fourth-through-seventh.
Each of the top six slots in the order had multi-RBI games, as leftfielder Taylor Hinshaw (Winder, Ga.) led the way at 3-for-4, driving in five and scoring three times. Hinshaw hit his first career home run for the Bobcats, a three-run shot in the fourth.
Centerfielder Mikee Moore (Dunwoody, Ga.) had a 4-for-5 effort with two RBI and three runs, while catcher Cody Maas (Alpharetta, Ga.) went 3-for-5 with three runs and three RBI. Shortstop Daniel Bick (Alpharetta, Ga.) added three hits in five trips with three runs and an RBI, while Sabalaskey and designated hitter Steve Hazel (Kentwood, Mich.) each added two hits and two RBI.
Sophomore lefty John Clark (Dublin, Ga.) got the win (2-0), going eight innings, scattering 12 hits for just four earned runs and fanning four. The loss went to Justin Ratte (1-2) allowing nine earned runs over four innings.
The Bobcats close out the three-game set with the Saints tomorrow, Feb. 24 with a single game at 1 p.m.

As Cara observes, California Democrats seem to have achieved the unachievable in Sacramento — a 2/3 majority, allowing them to raise taxes without permission of the GOP. It's not quite there, because a couple of state Senators were elected to Congress, and as soon as they take their seats, special elections will need to be held for their Senate seats. But they are safe Democratic districts: for the next session, the supermajority seems to be assured.So what should they do with it?
Ann moots the possibility of using cap-and-trade revenues for general fund purposes, in order to make state budget more solvent. There is a good deal to be said for this, but count me in need of more persuasion. Last Tuesday, the voters enacted Proposition 30, which temporarily raises income taxes on the rich and the state sales tax, for just that purpose. Democrats need to demonstrate that if they are given power, they will not result in a spasm of new, broad-based taxes for general fund purposes. As Steve Lopez, the Los Angeles Times' centrist columnist, has noted:
In the state Legislature, Democrats won supermajorities in both houses. Do you know what that means? It's like handing your teenager a credit card, a checkbook and the car keys so he can drive to an all-night orgy.
That's overstating it, but Democrats need to show that that's overstating it.
On the AB 32 front, it makes more sense in my view to 1) make it clear that CARB can indeed generate revenues under cap-and-trade; 2) establish the "substantial evidence" standard for connecting revenues and uses (i.e. revenue uses will be upheld if there is substantial evidence in the record that such a connection exists); and 3) leave revenues for the purposes of AB 32, i.e. reducing emissions. To be honest, carbon's pervasiveness throughout the economy means that many things rationally related to cap-and-trade are things that the Legislature would want to do anyway, e.g. high-speed rail, clean transportation infrastructure, etc.
If California Democrats are going to pursue new revenues, they should limit them to relatively narrow-based measures. That would mean two things: 1) an oil severance tax, since California is one of the few oil-producing states without one; and 2) enacting specific fees in the manner of the Polluter Accountability Act, about which I blogged several months ago. They both reflect popular principles, and especially in the case of the oil severance tax, the tax incidence involved does not fall heavily on consumers.
Much more to say on both, and I will, but the overall point is that in light of Proposition 30, Democrats need to be very cautious about where and how much they raise revenues.

Fred Wilson '69 Hosts Alumni Admissions Eventby Tom Runge • March 30, 2005 Share:
March 28, 2005. Fred Wilson '69, Wabash Trustee, hosted Steve Klein, dean of Wabash Admissions, and over 25 area alumni for an alumni admissions discussion at a New York City restaurant.
The evening was the largest alumni admissions training program in recent memory. The assembled group represented seven decades of Wabash graduates.
Wilson opened the evening by asking for everyone's help in introducing local high school students to Wabash. He then turned the evening's program over to Dean Klein. Klein gave the group an update on the College before dinner. After dinner, Klein briefly explained the recruiting process and suggested that local alumni could help the College's recruiting efforts in and around New York City best by referring young men of promise to the College. Klein divided the group into smaller segments then asked the groups to brainstorm developing referrals based upon each individual's background and profession.
Many alumni stayed after the formal program to exchange recruiting ideas.
Many thanks go to Fred Wilson'69, who hosted the entire evening, and to Dean Steve Klein for his efforts in "Spreading the Fame".

In last year's second season finale of "The Carmichael Show," Jerrod's quest to understand his family's political divide takes him to a Donald Trump rally.
He winds up getting stabbed in the arm while breaking up a fight.
"Dad, how come democracy hurts so much?" Jerrod, sitting up in a hospital bed, asks his Trump-fan father, Joe.
It's a good question – one still unanswered a year later as "The Carmichael Show" returns Wednesday to explore a split nation through a loving, if bickering, extended family perennially at odds over seemingly everything. Now the NBC program kicks off its third season poised to become to our times what "All in the Family" was to the Nixon years.
If that sounds overblown, then blame Jerrod Carmichael and his team for raising expectations through characters who defy expectations. During 19 episodes over two truncated seasons, the consistently smart and funny sitcom tackled everything from gun control to Bill Cosby to Islamophia through an anything-but-monolithic African-American family in Charlotte, NC.
In the most recent installment, family patriarch Joe (David Alan Grier), a truck driver, donned a red "Make America Great Again" hat, while wife Cynthia (Loretta Devine), a secretary, pulled for Hillary Clinton. Jerrod's well-educated half-black, half-Jewish fiancee, Maxine (Amber Stevens West), felt the Bern – so did his brother's earthy estranged wife, Nekeisha (Tiffany Haddish), even as she hawked Trump T-shirts at the rally to make a quick buck.
But the characters often find their beliefs challenged – and sometimes shaken to the core.
Jerrod, in one standout episode, went to a Cosby performance, saying he could separate the comedian from his disgrace – only to leave mid-show, disillusioned. Maxine, after decrying over-incarceration, learns that Jerrod's warnings about his recently sprung childhood friend were on target. Joe and Maxine felt shame over their own prejudice when their fantastical suspicions of their new Muslim neighbors prove unfounded.
People change, and so do circumstances. The second season finale aired last May amid the some of the earliest polls suggesting Trump had a shot at the presidency.
Trump's ascendency has spurred a TV comedy boom, largely confined to late night players like Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, "The Daily Show" and "Saturday Night Live." Sitcom production schedules don't allow for the same kind of immediacy.
But "The Carmichael Shows" plays the longer game, returning with the promise of wielding humor and humanity to cut to the heart of larger issues.

I would certainly share her with a number of guys of similar sights

COLUMBUS -- Succeeding in agriculture these days can be a tough task given the rise of mega-factory farms. However, many family farms in Ohio are finding another way to flourish -- through a co-op.
More than 170 farmer-owners are part of the largest organic farming cooperative in North America, known under the brand Organic Valley. Unlike the typical business model of a public company, says George Siemon, its founder and chief executive, Organic Valley's goal is to serve farmers and consumers instead of the stock price.
"Ours is more about how do we hit a sustainable profit level which is quite low. It allows us to focus more on our day-to-day business and serving our mission, which is to offer family farmers a sustainable living and to offer consumers the greatest food."
Farmers establish equity when joining a cooperative and are supported in various aspects of their business including production, certification and farm planning, all the while staying on their own land. By combining the model with organic growing, Siemon says, family farms are seeing their finances stabilize and their businesses become more sustainable.
The organic industry is expanding at a healthy clip, he says, with almost 20 percent growth every year. He says it's a great time to get involved.
"The enthusiasm in the organic farmer community is very high, and it's just infectious to see that kind of excitement about farming. Something we always see is how organic breathes life back into people's farms and their excitement about their future."
Concerns about food quality, the use of chemicals, healthier living and animal welfare all can be attributed to the growing success of organics, he says.
Siemon will speak more on these topics and the future of organic agriculture on Feb. 16 at the Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association's conference in Granville.

Stradivarius stolen from Milwaukee concertmaster
MILWAUKEE (AP) — A 300-year-old "priceless" Stradivarius violin was stolen from the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra's concertmaster during an armed robbery after a performance at a local Lutheran college, police said Tuesday.
The rare violin was on loan to concertmaster Frank Almond. The robber used a stun gun on Almond and took the instrument from him shortly before 10:30 p.m. Monday in a parking lot in the rear of Wisconsin Lutheran College, where Almond had just preformed, Police Chief Edward Flynn said.
Flynn said the violin was valued in the "high seven figures," the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (http://bit.ly/1dLTjF0 ) reported. Investigators believe the instrument, known in musical circles as the "Lipinski" Stradivarius, was the primary target, the chief said.
"The artistic heritage of Milwaukee was assaulted and robbed last night," Flynn told reporters.
As Almond lay on the pavement, the robber fled to a nearby vehicle, described as a maroon or burgundy minivan driven by an accomplice, which then left the scene, Flynn said.
In a 2008 Journal Sentinel story, Chicago violin dealer Stefan Hersh said the violin's value could be comparable to another Stradivarius that sold for more than $3.5 million in 2006.
The instrument, crafted in 1715, was on indefinite loan to Almond from its anonymous owners. Almond has characterized the owners as people with "strong ties to Milwaukee."
The violin's previous owners include virtuoso Giuseppe Tartini, who was known for his "Devil's Trill" Sonata, and Polish violinist Karol Lipinski.
In a 2013 interview, Almond explained that the Lipinski is "finicky" about temperature and humidity, responding differently some days than others.
Almond conducted an online campaign to fund "A Violin's Life," a recording that memorialized the history of the violin.
