Bringing Apple to class
2004
In this particular class, the campers came to learn how to use iMovie, Apple's digital video editing software. And the Apple Store's Mac specialists were eager to teach, offering a polished oration on the virtues of Apple. The Apple camps are made up of four workshops: music, movies, photos and an introductory class called \"Meeting Your Mac.\" The company began offering summer sessions for children last year, with attendance open to children of families buying a new computer. About 1,000 children participated last summer, and with this year's camp enrollment open to everyone, Apple expects 10,000 youngsters to attend. A company spokesman said the camps are sold out nationwide. [Brummitt] said there is a waiting list for the Apple camps at Mayfair just in case some people cancel. Most of the Mac campers were already well-versed in Apple computers and their virtues. Several already owned a Mac, including 12-year-old Rick Zuern of Wauwatosa, who has 11 computers at home. Zuern, who designs Web sites and uses his computer for \"mostly entertainment purposes,\" said he was interested in the Apple camp because it offered a session in a subject in which he isn't already proficient.

STROPES' BOOK INCORPORATES TECHNOLOGY Conservatory musician writes on guitar Guide features detailed scores and tablature of six pieces by well-known fingerstylist Michael Hedges
1996
Since then, he's started his own firm, Stropes Editions Ltd., and completed his first book, \"[Michael Hedges]/Rhythm, Sonority, Silence,\" a detailed guide, background and score for six guitar pieces by recording artist Hedges, an internationally acclaimed fingerstylist and a friend of [John Stropes]. The music was transcribed on a software program called Finale. Because Hedges' technique is so advanced and idiosyncratic, the software's capabilities were pushed to their extreme, Stropes said. \"I have the patience to write and play complex music,\" said Hedges, who contributed essays to the book describing his music in literary terms. \"But John figured out how to take the musical muscles I work with and transform them into notation. It's like he came up with a new musical language that thoroughly describes my work.\"

Tar causes stain problems in Lincoln neighborhood
2009
\"When it was laid down, it worried me,\" [John Strope] said.\"It had such a sheen, it looked really glossy, like it was wet.\" \"They said they'd never heard of this happening,\" he said. \"I think they intended well, to preserve the road by laying the tar, but as a practical matter, it doesn't help me.\" \"Our legal department advises us we can't clean vehicles or private property,\" he said. \"If you have a situation with damage above and beyond, you would need to file a claim and follow that process.\"

Boutique of the unusual shuns the scent of candles
1990
Over the years, the Stropeses also visited England, Germany, Portugal and Spain, where [McKim Stropes] scoured flea markets for candleholders, vases, picture frames, art prints, glass and bric-a-brac. Now the hospital's parking structure extends to the southern edge of the Stropes property. To protect themselves from further expansion, the Stropeses bought the house to the north, which they rent to three nuns. St. Catherine's Catholic High School is a block from the Stropes home. If Elsie Stropes and The Studio seem to be among Racine's best-kept secrets, that's by design. Uncomfortable with the limelight, Stropes doesn't talk about herself much. She rarely advertises the shop, relying primarily on word of mouth to bring in customers.

Chinese guitar virtuosa makes early impression; UWM director plans Yang concert, having never forgotten artist at age 10
2006
When [Xuefei Yang] was 14, she gave concerts in Japan, Australia and Spain. In Spain, she played the daunting \"Concierto de Aranjuez\" with the composer, Joaquin Rodrigo, in the audience. She so impressed guitarists and instrument builders that they kept giving her guitars. The Spanish ambassador to China ordered one for her after he heard her play in Beijing. Virtuoso John Williams gave her his own Smallman guitar. Master builder Masaru Kohno took her to his shop and let her have her pick, gratis. The Chinese \"Book of Changes\" influenced this composition, which [Carlo Domeniconi] wrote expressly for Yang. He is one of six composers represented on the \"Si Ji\" album to have created works for the young guitarist. All of them somehow reflect an interest in Chinese music and culture. The album also includes Yang's own transcription of Wang Huiran's \"Yi Dance,\" originally for the Chinese lute, or pipa. Yang said that when she was 6, her parents decided to give her music lessons to help her learn to focus her hyperactive energy. They were thinking about the accordion, but the music teacher at her primary school was an amateur guitarist and guided her to that instrument. Yang took to it immediately.

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Stanley Miller II column
2004
Steve Brachman, a waste reduction specialist for the University of Wisconsin Extension, said the new policy will add significant costs for the cities and towns running e-waste recycling programs and possibly decrease the amount of electronics recycling in the state. A-1 Recycling, 2101 W. Morgan Ave., is one of Recycle America Alliance's \"eCycling\" locations, as well as firms in Madison, Janesville, Menasha and Superior. For a fee, the facilities accept consumer electronics, including stereos, VCRs and computer equipment. Joe Aho, a business development manager for Recycle America Alliance, said the centers recycle electronics from residential users and small and medium-sized businesses. Aho said recycling pricing is \"geared toward a per-pound basis\" for businesses.

Restaurant dispute boils over in court ; A onetime manager sues a man she says hit her with a to-go bag. The verdict?
2007
Restaurant manager Tammy Strope, then the manager of Pattigeorge's on Longboat Key, insisted that [John Bodman] had to pay, and she called police when he refused. Then, Strope claimed, Bodman smacked her with the to-go bag packed with sea bass and pad thai. The police handcuffed him on a battery charge; Strope grabbed her head in pain. \"I could not imagine that could be heavy enough to cause a seizure disorder,\" said Dr. Stephen Sergay, the medical expert who testified for Bodman. \"The skull is so much stronger, the styrofoam box would break long before anything happened.\" \"I think if we were in Orlando, or West Palm Beach ... the results would have been different,\" [James Hutchens] said. \"They either didn't like her, didn't like me or didn't accept the facts as they were.\"
