UWM names new dean of engineering
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee has named Michael R. Lovell dean of the College of Engineering and Applied Science, effective August 1.
Lovell is the associate dean for research and a professor of industrial and bioengineering the University of Pittsburgh and is a researcher in the engineering field of tribology - the study of friction and the motion of interacting surfaces.
The university’s announcement highlighted the fact that during Lovell’s tenure as associate dean, research expenditures increased more than 63%, from $38 million to $62 million. He also helped coordinate the construction of a $6.1 million nanofabrication facility.
“I am delighted by the selection of Michael Lovell to be the next dean of the College of Engineering and Applied Science,” Chancellor Carlos E. Santiago said in a statement. “He is the right choice at the right time. I look forward to working with him to grow engineering education and research here in Milwaukee, where there is so much need.”
Jeff Suppan gave up eight earned runs and 11 hits in 3 2/3 innings and the Cubs banged out 17 hits off of the Brewers pitching staff Tuesday night in a 19-5 rout at Wrigley Field.
The Brewers have allowed 27 runs in the two games.
The struggles continued for reliever Derrick Turnbow, who gave up 4 hits, 4 walks and six earned runs in 2/3 of an inning.
Complete Journal Sentinel coverage of this game will be posted in the Brewers section shortly.
A girl was shot in the leg about 7:30 tonight by a man affiliated with a grocery store near N. 22nd and W. Center streets, says Milwaukee police Capt. Christopher Domagalski.
The girl, who police said was either 13 or 14 years old, was taken to a hospital and was expected to survive, Domagalski said.
The man was taken into custody by police.

This library tries to fix some of JavaScript’s problems, provide better data structures, some convenience methods, and provide some of the capabilities of JavaScript 1.7 to non-firefox browsers. Many of the other libraries are chiefly focused with web page manipulation, whereas this library actually has very little to do with webpages and can be used in non-browser environments.
How about www.Failuretorium.com?
Owch. Thats gotta hurt. Still, dont expect to see any change at Mitsubishi
I asked specifically about MochiKit and AJS because they seem to have a similar aim.
Silent Coup is a 1992 book by Len Colodny and Robert Gettlin in which they contend that former Nixon White House counsel John Dean orchestrated the 1972 Watergate burglary at Democratic National Committee headquarters to protect his future wife, then named Maureen Biner, by removing information linking her to a call-girl ring that worked for the DNC.Liddy and Dean Fight to a Draw… The court order, which U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan proposed and to which both sides agreed, dismissed Dean’s lawsuit and ordered both sides to pay their own legal expenses.
For a second I thought he was going to give a tutorial on counting in binary.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAROFLtook em what, 40 years to think of this nonsense?LOL
Would you like some Marvie with that?
Could someone who knows something about real Javascript programming (i.e. not me) illuminate how this stacks up against other “making Javascript better” libraries like MochiKit and AJS?
The difference between base2 and other JavaScript libraries is that base2 tries as much as possible to follow existing standards. The aim is to introduce as few idioms into the language as possible. JavaScript programmers have enough to remember with the DOM, CSS, browser bugs etc. Also, by tying itself to existing standards the library may theoretically get smaller as browser vendors incorporate new features and fix bugs. I’m slightly biased though as I’m the author of this library.
base2.DOM is a separate base2 package that deals with browser inconsistencies.
This is from the same guy who created IE7 (the CSS compatibility library for IE6, not the version of IE). Looks like it could be pretty damn useful.
