Macroplacus is an extinct genus of placodont reptiles. The type species is M. raeticus and the fossil record of this species dates back to the upper Triassic, Rhaetian age (age range: 205.6 to 201.6 million years ago). These fossils have been found in Germany, at Hinterstein near Hindelang im Allgäu.

Taxonomy
The classification of Macroplacus is controversial  but it is usually placed in the Cyamodontidae or in the Placochelyidae. These reptiles are placodonts, a group of animal probably related to diapsids, but that look similar to the turtles. Macroplacus, in particular, was a representative of cyamodontoidea, characterized by heavy armor and narrow snouts.

Description
Macroplacus raeticus, the only known species, possessed a relatively flat body, quite armored and similar to that of a turtle. The skull was very robust, broad posteriorly, with a snout narrower in the foremost part. The jaws were exceptionally strong and probably had a powerful musculature. The teeth were present on the palate and jaw, and were round shaped, with huge molars. The whole animal was about  long and weighed about  when fully grown.

Biology
It was an animal with an amphibious way of life, but it was little adapted to marine life. Like all placodonts, Macroplacus had to swim slowly in shallow water and coastal areas, in search of shellfish that made up most of its diet. The large palatal hemispheric teeth could break the shells of mollusks.

The Kemp Commission, headed by former United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Jack Kemp, was a tax reform commission that recommended the current Income tax in the United States be replaced with a flat tax.

History
In 1995, the commission was set up by Robert Dole and Newt Gingrich to study ways to encourage economic growth. After Dole and Gingrich chose Kemp as chairman, each appointed four additional members to the commission. During January 1996, the Kemp Commission reported on overhauling the tax system.

Proposal
The commission concluded that "a flat rate tax would not only be a fairer system for middle-income Americans but also would abolish income taxes for relatively poor people by providing for a generous personal exemption."

The Kemp Commission laid out 6 "points of policy" in its proposal:
 A single tax rate
 Large personal and dependent exemptions to remove lower-income people from the tax rolls 
 Lower tax rates for families
 Allowing workers to deduct Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes
 Ending taxation of interest, dividends and capital gains
 Requiring a two-thirds majority in Congress to raise the tax rate.

Response
William G. Gale wrote in a response for the Brookings Institution that "the report is symptomatic of the whole debate on tax reform: there is widespread agreement on the principles of tax reform, much less agreement on what those principles mean in practice, and perhaps very little on how to trade off one principle against another. But the revenue estimates provided above suggest that all of the stated goals of the commission cannot be achieved simultaneously: choices will have to be made between desirable features of the rate structure, the tax base, and extent and direction of social policy."

Accounting firm, Coopers & Lybrand, concluded "that a flat tax offering exemptions for homeownership, charitable contributions, investments, payroll taxes and other priorities favored by the panel would require a rate of at least 25 percent to keep from adding to the deficit."

The Wittman DFA aka Little Bonzo is a homebuilt racing aircraft designed to compete in midget racing.

Development
Steve Wittman had started air racing in 1926 using various aircraft. In March 1931, he designed his own purpose-built aircraft in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, the Wittman Chief Oshkosh. After World War II, a new class of Midget air racing was formed with Wittmans efforts. Wittman re-engined "Chief Oshkosh" and renamed it "Bonzo". After several successful races in Cleveland in 1948, a cleaner sister ship "Little Bonzo" was built. The name is a reference to Wittman's much larger racer, the Wittman D-12 Bonzo.

Design
The Wittman DFA is a mid-winged conventional geared aircraft built from a welded steel tube fuselage with aircraft fabric covering and wooden wing construction. The DFA differs slightly from Bonzo with a smaller tail surface, a longer tail and a larger canopy.
In 1968, the engine was replaced with a Continental O-200 to compete under new race rules.

Operational history

Steve Wittman and Bill Brennand alternated flying "Buster" and "Little Bonzo". The aircraft was never transported by trailer and was instead always flown to events, where Wittman would perform aerobatics between heats in his racing aircraft.
1948 National Air Races - Cleveland pilot Wittman placed second.
1949 Continental Trophy races - first place
1950 Rebat Trophy - first place
1951 Rebat Trophy - first place
1952 Continental Trophy races - first place
1964 Reno Formula One Championship - second place 
1973 Goodyear race - the last competitive race for Little Bonzo.
1994 Wittman flew the newly restored aircraft before it was donated to the EAA museum.

Variants
The 1934 Wittman Buster rebuilt from "Chief Oshkosh" was the basis for Little Bonzo.

Aircraft on display
The Wittman DFA is on display at the EAA Airventure Museum in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

Madame Foo-Foo is an album by American jazz vocalist Dakota Staton recorded in 1972 and released on the Groove Merchant label.

Reception 

Allmusic's Jason Ankeny said: "Recorded with soul-jazz icon Richard "Groove" Holmes on Hammond, Madame Foo Foo not only boasts a hip, contemporary sound unlike any of Staton's previous efforts, but it's an approach that fits the singer like a glove, accentuating the earthy, blues-inspired elements so vital to her craft. ... the session settles into a sinuous, late-night groove that complements the far-ranging material in full. Silent for so long, Staton clearly savors every nuance and turn of phrase, delivering one of her finest and most impassioned performances".

Track listing
 "Let It Be Me" (Gilbert Bécaud, Pierre Delanoë, Manny Curtis) – 4:17
 "Congratulations to Someone" (Roy Alfred, Al Frisch) – 4:43
 "Let Me Off Uptown" (Earl Bostic, Redd Evans) – 2:43
 "A House Is Not a Home" (Burt Bacharach, Hal David) – 3:33
 "Blues for Tasty" (Dakota Staton) – 4:08
 "A Losing Battle" (Mac Rebennack, Leonard Dauenhauer) – 3:30
 "Deep in a Dream" (Jimmy Van Heusen, Eddie DeLange) – 2:28
 "Confessin' the Blues" (Jay McShann, Walter Brown) – 3:59
 "Candy" (Alex Kramer, Mack David, Joan Whitney) – 3:15
 "Moonglow" (Will Hudson, Irving Mills, DeLange) – 3:20

Forest Mall was an enclosed shopping mall in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, USA. Opened in 1973, the mall closed and was demolished in 2020.

As of April 2023, The Former Pranges/Younkers building is still standing and Kohl’s and TJ Maxx continue operations

History
Melvin Simon & Associates, now known as Simon Property Group, first announced plans for Forest Mall in 1964. The mall opened in September 1973, featuring Montgomery Ward, J. C. Penney, H. C. Prange Co., Prange Way and G. C. Murphy. A Copps Department Store was also located nearby. Of these stores, Montgomery Ward, J. C. Penney and Prange had relocated from downtown Fond du Lac. The Montgomery Ward space was later taken over by Kohl's, the Prange Way space by Sears and Prange's became Younkers.

Simon renovated the mall in 1998, adding skylights and new flooring. In 2006, several new stores opened at the mall, although most were local retailers.

In May 2014, JCPenney closed. It was the last of the original anchors in the mall. Sears closed on November 2, 2014, as did the Forest Mall Cinema. As a result, many retailers in the mall, local and national such as American Eagle, Aeropostale, Pac Sun, and Victorias Secret closed too.

In 2014, Simon Property Group spun off its underperforming malls, including Forest Mall, into an investment group known as WP Glimcher. In early 2016, Simon's investment group officially sold the mall to ATR Corinth Partners, a Dallas-based investment. Simon had developed the mall and owned it for more than 40 years.

Younkers closed in 2018.

By 2020, the mall had no internal tenants and was closed. Kohl's and Staples remained in operation, but had closed their mall entrances. In July 2020, demolition began. Staples closed too, and the mall and all anchors were demolished, with the exception of Kohl's, which remains open as a freestanding store. A Meijer store is set to be built on the site of the mall.

Andy McGhee (November 3, 1927 – October 12, 2017) was a tenor saxophonist and educator.

Career
McGhee graduated from New England Conservatory in 1949 and worked for a short time with trumpeter Roy Eldridge and local Boston musician Fat Man Robinson. After marrying in 1950, he served in the Army in Korea and at Fort Dix, New Jersey where he played in an Army band and gave lessons to other musicians. From 1957–1963 he worked in Lionel Hampton's band, touring the United States, Europe, and the Far East. His composition "McGhee" can be found on The Many Sides of Lionel Hampton. McGhee worked with Woody Herman from 1963 to 1966.

McGhee joined the faculty of Berklee College of Music in 1966. Among his students were saxophonists Bill Pierce, Javon Jackson, Donald Harrison, Antonio Hart, Sam Newsome, Richie Cole, Greg Osby, and Ralph Moore. While devoting his time to teaching, McGhee wrote the instruction books Improvisation for Saxophone and Flute: The Scale/Mode Approach and Modal Strategies for Saxophone.

On March 15, 1978, he performed with Lionel Hampton and the Lionel Hampton Alumni Band as part of the Boston Globe Jazz Festival. The band included Bob Wilber, clarinet, Ernie Wilkins, saxophones, Teddy Wilson, piano, Alan Dawson and Terri Lynne Carrington, drums and Hampton on vibraphone. The performance marked the 50th anniversary of the start of Lionel Hampton's career as a professional musician.

In the early 1990s, McGhee toured with Lionel Hampton as member of the Golden Men of Jazz tour. The band featured Harry "Sweets" Edison, Clark Terry, Benny Bailey, Al Grey, and Benny Golson. The Golden Men of Jazz played concerts throughout Europe and on returning to the United States played for President George H. W. Bush in Washington, D.C.

In May 2006, McGhee was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Music from Berklee College of Music.
